We have had this tt four years and overall have enjoyed our camping experience. We have had a few issues one major and most minimal. One of our axles was bent which we discovered after we noticed the tires were not wearing evenly. Even though our extended warranty claimed to cover every single part of the axle our Jayco dealer claimed it was our driving that caused it and refused to honor the warranty ([Dealer], California). We had not driven over rough roads so this defect existed prior to our use of the trailer or the axles was not heavy enough. We fought over this with Jayco corporate headquarters and the company that manufactured the axle but neither would stand behind their product. We paid over $1400 to replace the axle with a better product. Other small problems included a leak in the bathroom cabinet under the sink which Jayco fixed and some interior wood support pieces inside a cabinet that had split when screwed in place (my husband fixed these himself as service at Jayco included waiting several weeks for an appointment and waiting several more weeks for the work to be completed while our unit was kept at their lot). One small annoying problem is a screw with a large head that lifted under the linoleum, creating a slightly raised spot on the floor which shows wear. The strings wear out quickly on the blinds from the friction of moving them up and down but we replace the string segment and put them back up.
However, all our appliances and heating and cooling systems have worked quite well. The unit is 24 ft. and we are able to tow it with our 2008 Toyota Tacoma quite easily. Although the floor plan is small it works well for two people and two small Sheltie dogs. We replaced the horrible mattress with a custom foam with separate comfort layers soo my side is softer than my husbands.
I love the open floor plan so I can see through the entire unit from my side of the bed at night. A great option is the power jacks and hitch which work by pushing a button! The dinette slideout and awning are also opened with a push button and work well. We upgraded the air conditioner to the 15,000 unit as we camp in desert environments quite often and it keeps us cool and comfortable even in temperatures over 100 degrees. The heater works well and quickly. We love the little tub/shower as it is possible to sit inside and soak. The entrance door is wide which helps when loading and unloading. The corrugated exterior is wearing well but is slightly soft but we don’t have to worry about delamination. The kitchen sink is deep and pull down faucet works well. The end tables in bedroom are large so we can place a bottle of water, book, flashlight, iPad, phone, etc. and each side has an electrical conveniently placed (most new RVS and travel trailers do not have decent sized end tables in the bedroom). The led lighting throughout the unit works well and does not get hot! Tvs, cd, and radio all work well. There is plenty of cabinet storage. The placement of windows is well thought out and these framed windows actually slide open for plenty of ventilation unlike the frameless style. The 3 burner gas stove is very nice and the oven works well but is quite small. The microwave is a nice feature. The dinette area can seat four adults but is more comfortable with two. The cloth sofa and dinette seats are attractive and wear much better than leather. This unit is quite comfortable for camping two to three weeks at a time.
