Jayco 17Z 2013 failed flooring structure
FYI: We have had our new Jayco Z17 for 8 months. Spent the winter parked in FL. Noticed the floor was getting soft. Getting worse, it is now thoughout the entire length of trailer. It is going into Jayco Manufacturing Plant to have the trailer lifted off the base and a new stucture and beams put in. Bummer, in the mean time we are looking for a new fifth wheel, one built for full timing.1.8KViews0likes5CommentsLifestyle Fifth Wheel/ Steel Frame
Any comments or knowledge would be appreciated! We are buying our first fifth wheel. We are full timing 5 to 8 years. Putting on approx. 7 thousand travel miles each year touring the country and the rest we will be parked. Using a one tone desiel to pull. My question is this. In searching for our rig, we have looked at Forest River Cedar Creek, Keystone Alpine, and yesterday we found a new breed called the Lifestyle. Lifestyle bought Carriage. I toured the manufacturing plant and they showed me that it is built on a SOLID steel frame and showed me how the other fifth wheels are built. How can it be that this is the only steel frame out there. We are talking head to toe steel frame. The man of course selling his product was quit biase however he made great points on the construction and durablity. The weight actually is not an issue either. So how is it that so many other companies can get buy with less? The man explained to me, if i am going full time for that long i need this base structure, Help, now i am really confused. thanks13KViews0likes39Comments
