Jayco RV Travel Trailers - Teardrop reviews

Was big believer in Jayco brand trailer and bought my third new one and have owned several new ones. Received a questionnaire from Jayco after purchase and listed all the faults and changes to the design that I didn’t like. They never responded. Have had warantee problems with things that have not worked in first year and dealer has failed to fix. Cheap things like the clock and the control for heat and air conditioning do not work and am told they were not made by Jayco and can not be fixed by warantee. Jayco used to be a well made travel trailer but will not buy another Show less

The 24RL is poorly made. The refrigerator has never worked properly. All fittings have leaked. Under the bathroom sink, the trap is out of alignment in a way that getting a proper seal is not possible. It’s a constant leak no matter my approach in repair. The thermostat is crap- constantly flashing an E3 error. Service has help is to pull the fuse for a reset. THANKS FOR THE HELP!! The piece of crap stops mid cycle (heat) so I get up at night to pull a fuse for a half hour reset? BS. Trim pieces fall off. I’ve had to rebuild drawers so they hold anything without the bottom falling out. In short, JAYCO built crap in an effort to maximize profits and minimize weight. DONT BUY A JAYCO UNLESS YOU WANT A PROJECT!! Show less

We have a 2023 Riverside Retro 13.5. We bought the camper new. We sized down to a small camper so we could tow with our Jeep Wrangler. The camper has not had any problems and we have had dozens of trips in it. It was one of the few campers at this size that checked all the boxes. We love the full size fridge and dry bath. We have the Elite and like the ADZELL siding too. My biggest complaint is the awning. It works fine but the arms are very low. Coming from the rear door, it is very easy to bang your head on the low arms and we have a lot. The only other complaint is the upholstery on the sofa is very delicate. I keep a futon cover on it because we take our pups and this has kept it damage free. We feel for the price point, amenities and tow ability the camper has been a good value. Show less

I (second owner) have owned this travel trailer for 5 years and have traveled with it cross country four times in addition to running a number of short trips to national parks (Grand Canyon, Glacier National, Crater Lake) and it has provided a safe and comfortable shelter for two adults and two small dogs in both freezing (<15F) and extreme hot (>105F) weather. After traveling thousands of miles, I have found that this trailer has held up very well and looks to be on the road for many more years due to being well maintained and properly operated. Storage includes not only kitchen cabinets, but also storage under the bed (which pivots up to allow access and storage under the dinette benches. Both areas have been used to store tools, repair parts, dry food, blankets and many other items used on month long trips. Storage accessed externally is enough to store a hitch, load balancing bars, chock blocks, power cables, wi-fi antenna pole, and cleaning supplies. Vaulted ceiling, insulated skylights, 2" insulated side walls, double wall front with extra-tall diamond plate, sealed floor to keep holding tanks from freezing, and heavy-duty forced air 25,000 BTU furnace combine to keep the inside warm. I have used this trailer in temperatures down to 15F with no problem. After market modifications include installing all LED lights inside and outside; a 12V shut-off switch; addition of a half cabinet to provide additional storage; a new stove/oven; new awning; side and rear view cameras used during travel; locked battery storage box; and flex armor applied to the roof. The 19B is a well-built and designed travel trailer that optimizes convenience and ease of use in a small space that makes it ideal for "traveling" cross country in any weather. Anyone wanting more space simply needs to buy a bigger trailer. As my first RV, I could not have bought a better trailer. Show less

Low maintenance and easy to use. Ideal couples coach. Very easy to set up and break down. Easy to add different options and make it easier to enjoy. The thirty three foot length and the overall weight makes it easier to camp almost anywhere. You don’t usually see many of this particular model for sale because most people are happy with it and have no desire to part with it. Show less

We were very impressed with the overall quality and craftsmanship of this trailer made in Oregon. It's thicker walls made it much warmer for our winter camping trips and its rugged design handled our off-road dry camping adventures with ease. Super roomy inside with a large pop-out! We loved this trailer! Show less

So I purchased my Radiance ultra lite 32 BH in 2019, I've used the camper roughly 20 times and have mixed thoughts on the unit, the Fridge leaked out it's ammonia a month after the appliance warranty was up, it's 2500 dollars to replace, the wall leaked by the sink from the roof at brand new, had to silicone the hole. And the main door pops open when driving because of shifting do I have to have the hand rail folded over the door and locked to prevent it from completely opening. The camper pulls very nice, the weight seems to be well balanced on the axles, over all I'm disappointed in the unit, I paid 62k for the unit new and have had to fix little things and big things IE the fridge Show less

This RV was perfect for my family! Lots of space, flexibiilty in use, and plenty of cooking, dining, hanging out, and sleeping space! I didn't give the support a 5 only because I didn't experience it, but it said I had to rate it - N//A was not an option. Show less

This is a 1 year review. We bought it in early summer 2024. Overall, we feel these trailers are mostly well made with room for improvement. Nothing major went wrong so far, just several small, annoying issues. So, here is the bad. -Stabilizer legs would not work sometimes. I found the problem was a crimped wire joint where the plastic coating was not properly stripped off and so was mostly crimped over the plastic. Easy fix, but was somewhat time consuming to find. -Door latch for the outside pass through compartment stopped working. I had to crawl into the compartment from the other side to open it from the inside since the latch was stuck locked. Again, easy fix, but quite annoying. -Lights in the front compartment, the light on the front cap as well as USB chargers on either side of the bed stopped working. Could not figure this one on my own so I took it to a RV dealer to fix. They could not find the break, assumed it was somewhere in the roof, maybe due to rubbing through or maybe partially damaged by a staple, screw or whatever. They redirected a new wire with a new fuse to fix the issue. -Other small issues were two drawers needing adjustment to enable smoth operation and changing out a light on the front cap because it's cheap and not water proof. Connections rusted out and the light stopped working even before the broken wire issue. Now for the good. -Frame seems very solid, walls seem solid, ride quality is excellent with a shock on each wheel. Slide out works very smoothly. Floor is 3/4 inch plywood and solid. Would I recommend to buy, short answer is yes, but don't expect a perfect product. Inspect each unit based on the assumption that they are individual and the quality will vary. Recommendations to ORV. Inspect more and trace problems to individual workers to better address problems. Consider extending workmanship warranty to three years. In other words, the actual build of the trailer not including appliances, latches, lights and other things not related to the factory build. Happy camping to you all! Show less

What a beauty of a camper. This one is like new. Their log book shows only 6700 miles Large rear windows for a great view. Theater seating , plenty of storage inside & out. The solar system allows for extended remote camping & balances well with plenty of fresh water storage&!gray/black holding. A well thought out w/great ground clearance & easy safe tow package. I had to ask why they are selling? Sadly there are medical issues w/the spouse that are stopping their camping adventures. Show less
