Researching and learning all the differences can feel like a full-time job, and who has time for that? It so happens that I do! It actually IS my job to understand RV manufacturers and what they have to offer, and I want to share that information with you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">No RV manufacturer is the perfect fit for everyone. You need to understand the kinds of RVs a manufacturer builds so you can decide for yourself if they offer the construction quality and features you need in an RV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Here I\u2019ll provide information about Jayco RVs all in one place to save you from spending your precious time hunting down information from various websites and\/or dealerships. Jayco is one of the top RV manufacturers in the United States. But do they build the right RV for your future adventures? Let\u2019s find out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center has-text-color\" id=\"what-is-jayco\" style=\"color:#8b752e\">What is Jayco?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:23px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"228\" height=\"184\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/nq3-e9BZquLq-Xrrz0-Sb3FbOS5d0hHozo_a-YzaEpmnRTk6zlOB-Iwp0zOhIuQqShQrD32yaNVN_PhOaGtgBY002qm5GvIQLsv57XC0_w_XYCRLg2RvudGDwaYo1CZLHJKmFcfYlhAIsraDazT6TII\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>Jayco manufactures motorhomes, travel trailers, toy haulers, and fifth wheels&nbsp;<\/strong>In Middlebury, Indiana<strong>.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">This company began in 1968 when Lloyd Bontrager, Jayco\u2019s founder, developed a new system for pop-up campers. 50 years since its founding, Jayco is the 4th highest selling RV manufacturer. Their goal is to innovate and develop new ways \u201cto make it&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jayco.com\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">easier and safer for families to have fun together<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Jayco wants you to enjoy camping and traveling without worries about your RV. They know you don\u2019t want to be fearful your RV will break down on the side of a dark, empty highway in the middle of Wyoming or have service problems that keep you inside all summer daydreaming about being with your friends as they gather at the RV park.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To keep you safe and out of service centers, Jayco focuses on developing and using safety and construction features to build RVs that will be safe on the road and built to last. They care about using quality construction that makes your adventures possible.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lloyd and Bertha Bontrager, avid birdwatchers, even picked the blue jay to represent Jayco because they wanted RVers to feel \u201cfree as a bird\u201d with the ability to \u201cfly away without any cares.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center has-text-color\" id=\"jayco-features\" style=\"color:#8b752e\"><strong>Jayco Features<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Does Jayco carry out their goals to keep you safe and your RV on the road?

Tack welding creates a strong, sturdy frame.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Jayco takes their frames a step further by using an integrated A-frame. This is when the A-frame runs through the main frame to prevent the hitch from buckling. (Learn more about&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jayco.com\/blog\/rv-frames-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jayco\u2019s frame construction here<\/a>.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Jayco uses this integrated A frame to create a sturdier, safer chassis for their towable RVs. A strong foundation means sturdier construction that will last longer, just like it would on a house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:19px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-color\" id=\"magnum-truss-roof-system\" style=\"color:#005568\"><strong>Magnum Truss Roof System:<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Jayco\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jayco.com\/blog\/strongest-rv-roof\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">roof system<\/a>&nbsp;can withstand 4,500 lbs. making it the strongest roof of these top manufacturers.

These are not just some of the strongest tires on the road, but they are also rated for 80 mph travel.&nbsp;Many manufacturers use tires rated at just 60 mph.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Added capacity to move faster down the freeway can make a big difference in your safety. Not to mention it can save you from pricey repairs. RVers regularly zip along the freeway at speeds beyond the capacity of their tires. Exceeding your tire capacity can lead to blown tires and may result in expensive damage to your RV.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Jayco also includes galvanized steel wheel wells on their RVs. This way, on the off chance a blowout does happen, the strong wheel wells lessen the impact and reduce the otherwise more extensive damage caused by an incident like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-color\" id=\"jaysmart-lighting-system\" style=\"color:#005568\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jayco.com\/about\/safety\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>JaySmart<\/strong><\/a><strong>&nbsp;Lighting System:<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Most trailers include rear lights in the lower corners of your RV to alert the driver directly behind you when you brake or turn.

Higher weight capacities mean Jayco bunks are safe and ideal for adult friends and family\u2014not just kiddos.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">You can also use the bunks for extra storage when you\u2019re in travel mode. Got 130 bricks you gotta bring along? The bunks can handle it! (Okay, you\u2019re not bringing bricks\u2014but 600 lbs. is a lot of storage capacity!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:19px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-color\" id=\"warranty\" style=\"color:#005568\">Warranty:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">A good manufacturer warranty is a Big.

Purchasing an RV is a hefty expense, so a warranty makes sure that your RV is protected once you leave the lot.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Most manufacturers offer both limited&nbsp;<em>and<\/em>&nbsp;structural warranties.&nbsp;<strong>Limited warranties cover the components inside<\/strong>, meaning the appliances inside the RV must match the warranty.&nbsp;<strong>Structural warranties cover the structure<\/strong>&nbsp;of the RV, like the frame, roof, and walls.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Other top manufacturers provide 1 year limited and 3 year structural warranties.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Jayco stands behind their product quality by offering the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bishs.com\/blog\/jayco-warranty\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">best warranty<\/a> of any manufacturer:&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>2 year limited warranty + 3 year structural.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Jayco\u2019s unique warranty covers your RV for&nbsp;<em>two full camping seasons.&nbsp;<\/em>With a 24 month warranty for towable RVs and a 24,000 mile warranty for motorized RVs, this warranty lasts twice as long as other manufacturers.

Depending on your needs and wants, there may be a better choice for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Here are some pros and cons of Jayco RVs, so you can decide for yourself if they\u2019re right for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:19px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-color\" id=\"pros-of-jayco-rvs\" style=\"color:#005568\"><strong>Pros of Jayco RVs&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>Options<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">One reason Jayco is so popular is they provide a lot of options for different types of RVers.

They can do this because of how many RVs they produce, which allows them to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bishs.com\/blog\/why-are-rvs-from-some-manufacturers-more-expensive\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">buy components in bulk, and by improving and automating their manufacturing processes<\/a>. Even still, Jayco RVs are not always the cheapest option. Jayco uses quality control measures and building materials that add to the cost of their RVs and includes features that less expensive RVs may not.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">If price is your top concern and you\u2019re looking for the least expensive option, you may want to look at another manufacturer. Keystone and Forest River may offer less expensive RVs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Check out&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bishs.com\/rv-search?s=true&amp;manufacturer=forest+river+rv%2Ckeystone+rv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">our Forest River and Keystone inventory<\/a>&nbsp;to see if these manufacturers offer something better for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>Weight:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Jayco RVs are typically 150-300 lbs. heavier than competing RVs with similar floorplans. This is partly because of their sturdy, heavy-duty frames, and the real wood\/heavy steel they use for their construction.
