I am looking at a new Jayco Eagle 320. Does anyone have any pros and cons about this unit? I have got a dealer to take off quite a bit of money and really like it but any advise you may have could be helpful. Thanks
You could also do a search in this section with "Jayco" as the search term and you'll get about 2 weeks' worth of reading!
Overall, Jayco's are one of the better made trailers with top notch customer service. LOTS of happy Jayco owners on this site - and we're one of those!
Our on going problem with our Jayco is the trim around the blinds. There cheaply screwed into the paneling. We have one nail/screw head sticking up in the floor, not thru the lino yet. The roof has been great, no leaks. Microwave door discolored slightly yellow. Converter failed about 6 months out of warranty, not all was bad tho I bought a better quality converter with a charge wizard and enough amps to operate the slide out with a dead battery. Stabilizing jacks were screwed to the frame with sheet metal screws, Two screw heads fell off when we got it home from the dealer brand new, some welding fixed this problem. Sawdust collected in the lights for the 1st year or so, from drilling the holes for wire I suspect. The new odor took almost two years to go away, lotsa luck sleeping in it with the windows closed the 1st couple of years. The steps and slideout was never greased. Amazing how much easier things work with some lube. Painted wheels are now beginning to rust. The screws in the steps on the roof ladder needed to be replaced. I used stainless steel screws, like to see them rust. Front marker lights lenses keep blowing off, was fixed a few times by the dealer. would I buy another Jayco.....yes. Would I buy from the same dealer, NO. If it sounds like I am nit picking, I will admit to that. The most important thing, a leak free interior has been dry.
2003 Jayco 308fbs eagle 33' tt, towed by a 2003 Ram 3500 slt, quad cab dually, cummins diesel ho, trailer towing package, with 6 speed manual. Hauls better 1/2, 3 kids, myself, and a 2003 ez go clays car.. I have added so far, neon lights, clearance lights, back up lights, black light, lift kit, mud tires, and everything necessary to make the golf cart street legal. It's now ready to spend the winter in the garage for more mods. More neon, strobe lights, alarm, a pa system, maintance, and whatever else that comes along. This golf cart does wheelies and travels thru 7 inches of mud when need be. Two honda eu2000i gens twinned to supply the electrical power. Latest addition an 04 Honda Goldwing.

And we've had nothing go wrong with our Jayco whatsoever. Okay, 2 things - the fuse cover had 2 broken tabs so it wouldn't stay on and the wrong table was put in our model so the blinds wouldn't close all the way - call to dealer, they ordered new parts, picked them up and put them in.
Other than those two completely stupid and non-issue items we have found that everything is solid on ours - screws, lambriquins - everything. Well over 6000 miles on ours in the 1 1/2 years we've owned and some rough roads too.
