While driving down the road at about 45mph, the driver side upper cabin window located adjacent to the eating table exploded and blew into the cabin. The window shattered and glass blew throughout the cabin area. Whatever caused this, the blast was strong enough to pull the Velcro straps holding the seat cushions blown off and the glass ripped the cushion's vinyl. If someone had been sitting at the table, they would have been extremely cut and hurt and possibly blinded. I had no warning to this situation. At first, I thought someone had sh…

After a recent purchase of a new 2026 Jayco Greyhawk 29MV RV, I discovered my 2 cats trying to enter a previously unknown and unfinished opening adjacent to a designated sleeping/play area of my RV in the cab overhead. One of the cats was panicked as he was stuck in the opening. The opening is very difficult to see unless you climb well forward into the sleeping area for closer examination which I did not do before my purchase. The area contains a very long area of sharp, unfinished and in some places splintered fiberglass edging that actual…

GOT RECALL FINAL REMEDY NOTICE FROM JAYCO ON SER#8H1ME0161. HOWEVER, CAMPING WORLD HAS SAID THE PARTS TO FIX THIS HAZARD ARE ON "BACK ORDER" FOR AT LEAST 12 OR MORE WEEKS SO THEY CAN'T SCHEDULE REPAIR APPOINTMENTS. WE WILL NEED TO OPERATE THIS VEHICLE SOON AND THIS DELAY CAUSES RISK THAT WE CANNOT AVOID! THUS JAYCO'S "FINAL REMEDY" IS FALSE REMEDY, THEY HAVE NOT ACTUALLY FIXED THIS POSSIBLE HAZARD.

In January 2021, while traveling at approximately 65 miles per hour on a Chicago area tollroad, my motor home suddenly began violently bouncing up and down in the rear. I immediately began to slow and move to the shoulder, at which time I observed the outside left dual wheel separate from the vehicle and roll into the dividing median wall. I managed to get to the shoulder on the remaining wheel, which was also damaged beyond repair. After towing and repair, the total cost was approximately $3200. The technician was unable to determine why t…
