UnderbellyEnclosed

Jayco (Mixed tier): Jayco's 40-foot destination trailer — wood-stud walls with aluminum skin on a 12-inch steel I-beam frame, residential fittings inside; the 2-year limited warranty and dealer coverage offset the budget wall build.

FINDING ONE

Findable: a few listed nationwide most weeks. Why: Jayco is a volume manufacturer; only one model year; still in production. Estimated from build volume and production span, not a count of live listings.

OUR TAKE

The entry point to the current line — a narrower 8-foot-wide DS body, 12,000 lb GVWR and the cheapest way into a 40-foot Bungalow.
