If I Own SOB am I allowed Still???

Well the time has come, after many years of looking and visiting RV shows, we have settled on a new unit after 8 years of faithful service of our coachman. It’s bitter sweet as many memories were made with our first and only trailer in tow, but we have outgrown it as a family. We are going with a Jayco product and will be putting down a deposit next week. Ironically the bulk of the floor plan is just like ours, with the exception of a new bunk room, exterior door to the bath room, and full size outdoor kitchen. Those three were the “Must Haves”.

We just couldn’t find the one we liked with in the FR line up, also the Jayco comes standard with Good year tires, 8Cu F Fridge, and USA made dexter axles and a slew of other upgrades our current unit just doesn’t have or are extra in other units.

Of course you can still stick around here. You should visit the Jayco Owners Forum too.

That two year warranty is a big plus!! We had a class C Jaco and loved it, went class A Coachmen for more space and love it also. Good luck and enjoy it.

Congrats on your new purchase Although I'm not ready for a new RV I have my doubts my next purchase will be an FR product if I had to make that choice today Too many other Mfg's and product ranges that have peaked my interest

Apparently they will let you continue to hob-nob after you switch to another brand. I am still here and I purchased a Thor Serrano this past year. Truthfully, this FR group is really a great bunch of people. I am happy to hang around.

I’ve stuck around since trading my XLR for a Montana 5er. A lot of problems and fixes transcends brands. There is a lot of informed people on this forum.
