All ActivityMost RecentMost LikesSolutionsRe: Jayco vs Grand Design Well, I sold my motorcycle to buy one.. I work 2 jobs.. my main is from home and PT at a electronics boutique.... my plan is to work from it at least 1-2 weeks a month, then take a week or 2 vacay during the summer and 1 during the fall.. my outdoor activties are hiking, pedal biking, exploring. my tow vehicle is a 2022 Silverado LT with the 2.7 High Output turbo 4 beater.. Re: Jayco vs Grand Design I'm getting mixed reviews.. you say OSB, other say Plywood.. What gets me about GD is OSB, Luan, NO azdel, lippert frames while Jayco, plywood, Azdel double sided, BAL Norco frames with the huckbolts and jayco cost less than Grand Design.. The next time I check out a jayco, I'll look at the interior cabintry and drawers... however I must say, the 2 Wawa gas stations being built here, plywood was used around the building and on the roof decking... it just seems GD is using cheaper materials and charging more Re: Jayco vs Grand Design I plan to hit some lots later this month into next month and I will bring the tape measure.. and speaking of frames, how does something like this happen? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHk5oThyHL8&t=6s Re: Jayco vs Grand Design Gotcha. what are your thoughts between the 2 campers? Re: Jayco vs Grand Design I will check them out today.. I fell asleep last night. ty for the suggestions Re: Jayco vs Grand Design Mostly me, with possibly one more... budget is 30K or less, but preferred to only finance 25K Re: Jayco vs Grand Design Oh, ok... yeah I'm gonna enjoy 8.9-10.9 interest rates under Bidenomics vs it was 3.85 under the other guy, right now I'm enjoying 4 pack chicken thighs raw from Publix was $4, now $11, gas was 2.28 now above 3.50, the list goes on 🙄🙄😁 anyway, that was a stud of a RV you sent me.. it looks bulletproof and expensive. you should go for it, but **bleep**.. the op17 would be my pick Re: Jayco vs Grand Design All those RVs you listed are pretty darn pimp.. I watch some of Thompsons RV in Pennalton OR (spelling) and those rigs are supper nice.. I like the alliance and the lance as well and would love to own a Nash from NW MFG but I have to be real.. I'm broke and on a tight budget(Thx Joe) and those rigs are just way out of my prince range and I live the Southeast and Outdoors and NW aren't available in my area. I respect your opinion that you wouldn't buy either, but if you were force to choose which would you pick? Re: Jayco vs Grand Design I appreciate your response. but how do I tell the frame height? it doesn't say on either MFGs website.. I do know that the jayco has the BAL A frame with huckbolts from Norco vs the GD has the welded frame from lippert, but I'm weary of Lippert with all the frame flex issues GD is having right now.. Re: Jayco vs Grand Design this is soo above my paygrade..
