Jayco motorhome 22 1
Permalink  

I have the opportunity to acquire a 2009 model (2.8 lt deisel) of the above from a terminally ill acquaintance, I had discounted this brand and was looking at others but the price offered is exceptionally good and I wondered if any members had any experience with this particular MH. I is a long way away so I can't personally inspect it at short notice, but it has only 14,000 kms on it and is in excellent condition.
Any information would be nost helpful as I have no idea what these are like.
Thanks in advance...Ray.

Yeah I thought so too, I was advised to look at Sunliner and Wirraway and have neen treading that path, but this one has been offered to me for the mid $70,000's and it seems to good on value to not go against my fancies and seriously consider the unit.

By the way, thanks for your reply, I really appreciate your opinion.

Ray,

For $70k may I suggest a look at Kea motorhomes.

We were thinking of changing to a motorhome from our present caravan set up and this particular brand was recommended to us. Very impressive.

Jayco are the bottom of the quality scale, having been there done that, I agree with the statement that "You only get what you pay for." In some cases less.

I looked at their site and they did look pretty good, the name KEA turned me off a bit as it sounded like a spin off from KIA, which ofcourse it is not but the inference is there.
Might have another in depth squiz.

When we looked at motor homes , we found most of the used ones had extremily high k's and were not very good condition for the asking price , often highr than a new one.. and also what features you want, ie do you want one with shower /toilet etc? I guess you'll know the one is the right one when you find it..

Hi Ray,

Fell for the same trap myself when informed about the "KEA"

Wife chose a Hyundai for her car about 3 years ago, what a disaster.

Swore never to own a Korean vehicle again.

If I owned the Kea business I would seriously think about another name.

A Kea is a large brown New Zealand Parrot.. Nothing whatsoever to do with KIA cars.
