The Jayco Precept 29V is not huge, and I probably wouldn't want to live in one full time. However, at 32 feet it is comfortable for several weeks at a time and it's easy to maneuver into nearly any park or campground and many boondocking locations. The single slide minimizes potential mechanical difficulties of having multiple slides. The galley is modest but contains every convenience of your home kitchen. One of my favorite floorplan features is the dinette placement on the patio side. Who wants to eat meals looking at the utilities or your neighbor's patio!? And there are many other features we like, such as a full shower that accommodates my 6'2" frame with no problem, king-sized bedroom, another bed (queen) that is tucked up against the ceiling of the cab until you use the power feature to lower it for use. And don't forget the large tanks for fresh and waste water, propane, and a large onboard generator making it easy to go several days without hookups. Oh, and did I mention the Ford V10 has plenty of power to flat tow a full-sized SUV? There are just too many cleverly engineered features of this RV to list individually.

This is our third Jayco recreational vehicle. Prior to this class A, we owned a Jayco Class C and a Jayco travel trailer. The great 2-year warranty was longer than most manufactures offer. We appreciated the fact that the company employs Amish workers. Jayco's Magnum Truss Roof Design is 50% stronger than its competition. We also appreciate that Jayco attempts to utilize every inch of space to create ample storage. We have heard from other campers that during 2020-2021 & the Covid pandemic, the Recreational Vehicles that were being produced at a very rapid speed, due to high consumer demand - were found to have numerous issues with them. We have a 2019 Jayco Precept 31 UL and have never had an issue or problem with our awesome motorhome. Buying an RV is like purchasing a car or truck...you never know if it's going to be a "lemon" or not. Even the most expensive RVs can encounter flaws. Happy Camping...Happy Full-timing...Happy life !!!

The best thing about the 2019 Jayco Precept 36A is the floor plan. We are a family of five with two dogs and it is plenty spacious (with the slides out) for living.

The best thing about the 2019 Jayco Precept 36A is the floor plan. We are a family of five with two dogs and it is plenty spacious (with the slides out) for living. Other than that, it was not worth the investment. Out of the last 16 months of ownership, it has been unusable or in the shop for six of those months. Front bathroom sink leaks badly, kitchen sink completely fell out, slide two is constantly sticking, cab bunk squeaks like crazy when driving, main power switch breaks frequently leaving entire RV with zero power, heating system has already broken once, screens don’t stay tight, ceiling vents don’t stay closed when driving, but most importantly, the braking system is not strong enough for the weight.This RV is very unsafe when driving mountains. Using first gear is not enough to slow the 30,000 pounds down and it frequently speeds up at a 7% decline. On straight road declines, this is not as much of a problem, however, when in curvy mountain roads, it’s a big problem. I spend a lot of time on the pull-overs cooling brakes off. I would not recommend this unit.

We previously owned a 1997 Class C (Coachman) and a 2007 Class A (Bounder) RV. We did a lot of research before purchasing this 2019 JAYCO Precept 31UL, focusing on both driveabiity and quality of assembly. The Precept drives much better than any of the other 2019 Class A units we tried. This appears to be the result of a better wheelbase-to-overall length ratio, and 22" wheels which are not common on RVs of this size. While I frequently read reviews criticizing driveability and handling of Class A coaches built on the Ford 53 chassis, Jayco made this unit drive RIGHT! As a result we have not needed to invest in any of the suspension upgrades that many other Ford 53 chassis owners find necessary. As many RV owners' experience, our new unit came from the factory with several minor defects. Rather than returning it to the dealership for each problem, I handled those that I could myself. At the one year ownership anniversary, after several "shakedown trips" and three long trips, we scheduled a warranty visit with JAYCO back at the factory in Middlebury, IN. JAYCO personnel expected our repairs to take 8 to 10 shop days, but due to COVID caused delays getting parts from suppliers, they ended up keeping the unit about 5 weeks. We could not be happier with the work quality of the warranty shop. Every single item on our list was repaired/replaced or adjusted perfectly, and they detailed the unit interior before releasing it to us. So, we are very pleased with JAYCO's warranty efforts. Overall, consider us HAPPY CAMPERS!

This is a great RV for the price, the floor plan is easy to work with, it has good handling and great ride. The full body paint is amazing. Motorhome looks and drives great, this is IMO a great motorhome for a beginner Rv'er to a pro Rv'er, It all starts with what dealer you buy your motorhome from, we were very happy with our purchase from RV1 in Albany NY. The customer service so far has been excellent; Jayco motorized division provided us with a gift membership to "Coach-Net Basic RV" which provides technical support service along with roadside assistance. The bucket list is finally complete!!
