Jayco 265th Toy Hauler reviews

Bought this unit brand new in 2022 for a way to keep my wife going on motorcycle trips. The first trip i went on one of the benches that was never used ripped the whole inner wall off. Getting the dealer to cover it was an absolute nightmare, but they finally did. The second year I noticed some bowing in the siding, being new to RV'ing I shrugged it off as just normal. This is the year I noticed how cheap everything inside is. Poor placement of everything, worthless bench seats that have both been removed because they fell off the walls again. Theres no storage space and even less tie down options for a toy hauler. Now here we are beginning of the camping season 2026, that siding has now completely failed. Jayco's response with a $4000 extended warranty, "f**k you! outta warranty!" $6000 repair, the camper is hardly worth that. Thankfully im able to do this repair myself using screws instead of swingline staples. DONT BUY JAYCO!!!!!! Show less

Stay far away from this camper. Three weeks after purchase I found the tail light assembly hanging by the wires. The screws rusted through. AC failed. Pitiful attempt to repair. Finally replaced entire unit. The new one is not working right. The water heater broke the second time used. Caulking around sink and shower could have been done better by a monkey. Rollers on shower door fell off or broke. Kitchen faucet leaks. All workmanship is terrible. Every day I find something that angers me. Pre-wired for back up camera. I spent two hours finding, then retrieving this wire from inside the ceiling. This is my third camper. First and last Jayco. I wish I had financed this heap. I would drive it to Jayco headquarters and simply dump it at their front door. The entire RV industry is shameful. Jayco leads the way. Do not buy a Jayco Show less

Rear tail light/ turn signal assemblies fell off after three weeks because of rusted screws. 3 WEEKS! First test of AC, optional 15k but. Out side temp 79 at630 pm. Inside temp 95. Opened windows, used fan to drop temp to 90. Closed unit. Shades drawn. Awning deployed to help shade side. AC on, set 65. Air felt cool, not cold. Returned 2 hours later ready to walk in and shiver. The only shiver I felt was due to anger. Inside temp 82, sun nearly set. I'm glad I got the 15k but and not the standard 13.5k but. Door Frame to bathroom is falling off. Easy fix, but, why should I be fixing anything in a brand new unit that has not even been used yet. I thought I was stepping up a little from Forest River junk. Not even a little. Well, it came with Goodyear tires. I have not even begun to raise he'll, but, I promise it is coming. Does anything good one out of Elkhart, Indiana? I have yet to see it. If you cannot afford an Airstream or similarly overpriced camper that reaches the acceptable level.......and I have heard bad things about the insanely priced units also.......just buy a tent. These manufacturers need to be taught a lesson. If I can get this brand new Junko road worthy, first stop will be Elkhart. I want some answers from the greedy owners before I dump this shitpile of tin on their lawn. Screw you Jayco. I'm sorry. You don't understand that word. I forgot the missing nuts on the tongue jack.
