Found it interesting looking over some old jayco floor plans. The 2008 Jayco Eagle 322 FKS caught my eye. That's a floorplan I would love in a new one. Bedroom looks roomy with king bed. Like the kitchen layout. Would trade my 2012 Whitehawk in a minute for new Eagle, same plan.
Wonder if anyone had that model , and how did you like it. The cabinets look much nicer, better quality in older models. Overall I think older models were better quality built.
Had a 2008 Jayco Jay Flight 19BH. Jayco discontinued that model. Had a lot of problems with that trailer. It definitely is NOT made as well as my 2012.
Why did I buy another Jay Flight?? Because Jayco stood behind their product and bent over backwards to get it right. It was also built in the Recession year where they were laying off people and closed their Starcraft plant in Topeka, Indiana. Visited both Jayco owned factories (Jayco and Starcraft) and found people at both locations very nice and hardworking even with the confusion, if they'd be working the next day.
Starcraft at that time was operated as a competing company with different engineering and designs even though Jayco owned them. After the recession, their trailers are sisters with similar floorplans, engineering and designs.
Before 2008, Jayco used a Fleeced TPO vinyl roof and had many failures with the fleeced backed vinyl roof material. Today is the best time to buy a Jayco, best built, better materials, and better economy.
