Introduction to Jayco RVs

Drive through almost any campground in the United States, and you’re as likely to flip a coin heads as you are to see a Jayco RV parked in one of the campsites.

Jayco is a mainstay of the RV community. They’re recognized for providing quality RVs across the budget spectrum, with affordable stick-and-tin travel trailers on one side and high-tech, luxury fifth wheels and motorhomes on the other. Jaycos are a mainstay outside of the RV community, too, as passersby, tent campers, and neighbors recognize the swooped-wing bluejay logo everywhere Jaycos roam.

What’s led to their continued popularity? The answer is multifaceted, but much can be attributed to their early adoption of three key elements that founder Lloyd Bontrager valued and prioritized and that remain evident in their design, manufacturing processes, implementation, and customer care today: quality, innovation, and service. Each is apparent in Jayco’s products and the support offered to their customers, from groundbreaking RV technology to education to user-friendly RVs, to one of the most trusted warranty protections available to RVers.

Jayco at a Glance

Founded in 1968, Jayco has received significant recognition for its line of travel trailers, particularly the Jay Flight line, which has remained a bestseller in its category since 2005, while their luxury and intro-level fifth wheels, toy haulers, and motorhomes also compete at top levels, are well-respected in the industry, and are a favorite among RVers.

Jayco RVs boast fewer service needs in the first year of ownership than competitors, and the company has garnered praise for incorporating new user-friendly technology into its systems, including navigation, ride and handling, amenities, and more.

Ever the innovators, Jayco recently announced the piloting of a new GPS-connected RV system to provide users with personalized travel recommendations, trip inspiration, and other how-to information based on their RV model – the latest example of their tech innovation forwardness.
