Does anyone know if Jayco will resume building this model? Please provide any insight regarding buying a used model and what the warranty or service situation would be?

Jayco did NOT buy the TS line, just the facilities. They are supposed to start producing their own line, but not much else is known.
As to the warranties, they're GONE, just like the company.

Good evening Marty. Sorry to inform you but Travel Supreme is out of the Motorhome building business. Also they are not built by Jayco.
Hope this helps.

John there was a rumour/post that Jayco had purchased the molds and some or all of TS. At least that is what my memory says - not always the best source 
I'd hazard a guess that any or all of the TS MH line would be rebranded/renamed under some Jayco brand and that while the molds may be the same the actual models would end up somewhat different.
Lastly for the right price I"d be highly tempted to pick up a TS if it was the right plan for our needs.

Wow. That sounds interesting. Jayco has a good following in the towable market. Average quality but they do fit a price point. Be interesting to see what happens.

One of this months issue's of MH, FMCA or Trailer Life has a small write up about Jayco's new line up which will be run by Travel Supreme's former President....so I would also think the new line of Jayco MH's may have a strange resemblance to TS line...

Jayco is into more than towables.. they produce a diesel-powered Super-C class (Seneca) which is 37 feet long and rivals pushers for amenities, at the price point 105,000 (realistic).

The retail price point of the Seneca is closer to $160,000 retail. You can buy one if you really look without trade for the $105,000 price. They also are coming out with the Embark which will be priced in the $250,000 range retail.
They are going back into the class A as mentioned above but have no ties to Travel Supreme except the purchase of their assets. They just bought a vacant plant and the equiptment in it.

I can't imagine that Jayco would want to accept any of the liabilities of Travel Supreme and that is why they may have bought molds and the facility but anything more than that would be just plain silly on their part.

Jayco also bought all of the parts inventory, along with plant and equipment. Rumor is they are going to build three Class A models, which would seem to imply Envoy, Insignia and Select but with Jayco names. With Glenn Troyer ex-Pres. of Travel Supreme the new President of the Entegra Div. this seems to be the logical choice. When they are up and running they will also provide service for Travel Supreme products.
