RE: Advice Needed!
We were in your position in 2003 and really did not know what brand of class c we wanted. We finally decided on the Jayco Escapade 31A. It turned out to be our best decision ever. Through the years we have had it, some small things have had to be taken care of and they were by the dealer, with no complaints from me Jayco was always wonderful as was the dealer. Now to make my point, we had a spuradic leak that we could never find comming in the rear bedroom window. Jayco replaced the window after warrentee at no cost to me, but the leak continued.Finally in the last few months we descovered the leak was comming from the roof to sidewall factory seal and was leaking most likely since the begining. Thinking i was 3 years past warrentee, i would have to absorb the repair cost which would be considerable. On a whim i wrote Jayco a letter and took pictures and explaned what i thought was and is still going on with the motorhome.I sent them by e mail. They replyed and told me to take it to my dealer for inspection. The dealer looked for a bad caulk joint or rip or any damage to the roof and found none. Jayco then instructed them to open up the roof to sidewall area and report to them. I received a call from Jayco service department informing me that the dealer will seal up the leaking area for the summer so i can use the motorhome and then in the fall it will be taken to there factory for a complete roof and possible sidewall replacement. How many companies would stand by there product like that. So i say to you consider Jayco when you buy your first motorhome Denny

RE: MUST READ leak at roof to sidewall seal
To jhinson748 No my repairs will be made in the fall and i will not have a loaner to use but i did not ask for one. We will have just got back from a planned trip to Maine this fall and then the motorhome will be sent off to the factory for repairs. They plan on 4 weeks to do the job. Then they bring it back to me and i reload everything and get ready to go to florida for the winter. My suggestion is to be patient with them and work with the factory they will do the right thing. If you have problems e mail me ok ddoranjr@twcny.rr.com

MUST READ leak at roof to sidewall seal
I knew when we purchased our jayco class "c" motorhome in 2003 we were doing the right thing. All the little and big concerns and problems we had with our unit were always fixed and in speedy time. Little did we know that the seal at the roof to sidewall in many places was seaping water into the motorhome. At first we thought it was a leaking window and that was eventually replaced by jayco, past warentee, but they did it for free. But the leak showed up again. For 5 years it must have been weaping in and it has finally showed itself in the ceilings and side wall delamination. I thought that I was stuck with a unit that I would not be able to use or sell being so far past warrentee. On a whim, I videoed the problem and wrote a letter to jayco explaning my problem and telling them what I thought was happening. Jayco replyed and asked me to take it to my dealer and they would tell them what they wanted them to do. I took it to them and received a call in a couple of days from my dealer. Jayco asked them to inspect all caukable seams and finding no problem they had them open up the roof area and take pictures of any damage or evidence of leaking, which was extensive and send it to them. I was then called and told to pick up the motorhome and use it for the summer and that my dealer had sealed up all around the roof to sidewall area with a temperary cauk and tape job. Doesn't look very good but at least will not leak. Now for the really surprising thing,JAYCO IS TAKING THE UNIT BACK TO THE FACTORY IN THE FALL TO REMOVE THE COMPLETE TOP OF THE MOTORHOME AND ANY SIDEWALL WITH DELAMINATION AND REPLACE WITH NEW. THE COST TO ME IS NOTHING. How many companies would do this for a customer, not many i'm sure. Bottom line is if your considering a RV check out Jayco. Had some sleepless nights until Jayco gave me this news. Still no money out of my pocket. Thanks for reading Denny

Time to replace our baby
Why is it when you have to buy a new car it's like having teeth pulled without any novacaine. God I love the new car but the ordeal is horrible. Denny

RE: 6.8 L what hp is it
The new 3 valve per cylinder v-10 at 365 HP is only in the class A's for now. Maybe it will make it into class C's in the future, but I think the economy will have to improve for that to happen. Also the bottom of the RV industries problems will not be reached until the price of fuel is brought back to a sane level and greed is removed so the price can be affordable again. My opinion, Denny

RE: Ford V-10 & Trans
Ford built there v-10 to spin, it loves the high range of high reving engins and will not overrev, has a limiter. To me the sound is sweet, music to my ears as we travel down the road. Cheveys v-8 is a great engin also and sometimes i miss that v-8 throaty sound, but i'll keep the 10. Denny
