Jayco Eagle 5th Wheel reviews

I bought this one used and found a few things that have troubled me since I took delivery... 1. 14 bolts missing to hold front frame to chassis... 2. no camber on the curb side main rail... 3. Screws going through side walls with no caulk or sealant leaking... 4.Screws holding the drip edge on were drywall screws, no caulking or sealant coving them so water will get in... I was at the Tampa RV Show and spoke with the Eastern Reginal Sales Manager Martin Seneca sent him pictures and when he found out I was a second owner there was no more contact other than to tell me the warranty isn't transferable...

Jayco used to be a quality RV Manufacturer. The quality of this brand new eagle fifth wheel is absolutely horrible. I have have had nothing but repeated issues with this camper, from electrical to plumbing, to Jay command. I have spent numerous days fixing this camper instead of enjoying my vacations. Just a complete piece of junk. This has been my first and last Jayco. Show less

We purchased this 5th Wheel in August of 2022, used it for 2 weeks and had to take it back to the shop (mid September) for 12 different warranty repairs. It took until April 2023 to receive parts. One of the issues is the pantry door, it did not stay latched and warped. Our dealership repaired the door back to Jayco Specs, but added additional latches to keep secured and leveled. The Jayco magnet does not do that. After just using the RV again a week ago, the pantry door has warped again and the hinges are hard to open. Also, 3 of the drawers in the bunk portion continue to fall apart and will not stay shut while driving, this interferes with extending the slide out. Show less

My first 5th wheel and I am blessed to have found this one, I looked for a year and a half then this one came on line it had a few minor flaws from the first owner who didn't know how to tow a 5th wheel which I fixed in the first few weeks I had the rig... I started by putting lots of upgrades on her like slide-out awnings, new LIPPERT 3.0 Self-leveling system which took the quest work out of leveling and a bunch of other personal touches to make it our own my wife was all for purchasing the 5th wheel the colors and interior cabinets were light colored which really made the sale, we have had it for 2.5 years and we have enjoyed every minute of camping with her... The floor plan was also a great feature that sold us... Show less

So many problems do not want to list. Jayco does not stand behind their products. While waiting for Jayco to finish doing everything they can to deny warranty work we repeatedly lost time we could use our fifth wheel. We paid tens of thousands of dollars to own a camper that spends weeks and months waiting on or getting repairs. We have had to cancel multiple trips with friends due to repeated issues. Most of the time we can only tell we have a camper because we no longer have the money we wasted on purchasing a defective unit. Enjoying our camper is becoming a distant memory of when we owned a Cougar for 8 years that we could actually use. Show less

Our purchased brand new Jayco 5th wheel has been in for warranty work for a combined total of 14 months out of the 23 months we’ve owned it. It is still waiting for more repairs and warranty is up in less than a month. Jayco doesn’t care. They refuse to extend warranty, refuse to replace trailer. We have a $100,000.00 driveway decoration that we cannot (and have not) use. Stay away from Jayco, the company does not stand behind its products and thinks it’s reasonable that they sold us something we have not been able to use. Show less

This camper has been a joy to pull and camp in with our kids. Since family is growing we need to get a bigger camper, for we are going to be making extended stays out west and south. This is the only reason for selling current camper we just need more room for a growing family. Show less

Bought our 2022 28.5RSTS new in July 2022. The Eagle series used to be upper level, that is no longer the case. That being said overall the quality is decent for a lighter weight 5th wheel. My biggest complaints are the poor sealing of the undercarriage. Mouse access holes galore! I spent countless hours sealing holes in the under fabric from wire routing, and just poor sealing. The other big complaint is insulation, it has none. Definitely not the all season rig it's advertised as. Awning is nearly useless, terrible design. Outside weather proofing is other wise excellent. Tows well, and interior amenities function as intended. Show less

Awesome RV for kids, we have many memories enjoying this awesome camper with our kids. The bunk beds are great, kids asleep and you can still enjoy hanging out in the main area while the kids get to sleep. Show less

I bought this 2014 year-model in 2017 used from a non-Jayco dealer. My previous experience was with pop-up tent trailers. My wife requested that I upgrade to have HVAC and a bathroom. When my SUV died and I bought a Tundra V-8, I anticipated pulling a travel trailer, not a 5th wheel. So, when I decided I would rather have a 5th wheel, my research led me to this Jayco model as one of a few that the Tundra, equipped with a sliding hitch, was rated to handle, even when fully loaded. It is a good pairing; and I once had the occasion to pass a slower moving truck at 75 MPH as I neared the top of a long, steep, climb over a mountain, without the Tundra over-working. Especially given the light-weight construction of the Eagle HT26.5RLS, it has been very durable and is in pretty good shape after being driven about 3,500 miles on a total of 18 trips including 113 nights over the six years we have had it since buying it used. I love the floor plan, which speaks for itself. This is ideal for taking a long weekend or a week at time with my wife, but if I intended to travel with kids and/or take a longer trip of mostly one-night stops, I would choose a different model with more space and/or automatic levelling. The floorplan speaks for itself and is a matter of personal opinion, but I wouldn’t change a thing. We often remove one of the recliner chairs and leave it at home to create more room. As for rating the manufacturer, it was out of warranty when I bought it, but Jayco corporate was easy to deal with and helpful on things such as getting detailed wiring diagrams and ordering parts. I have absolutely no regrets, which is rare for RV owners! Show less
