Need info on 24' motor home?

Has anybody had experience with Jayco Escapade 24"?



Thinking about buying one.Need info on 24' motor home?
Advantage Motor Home - all in one unit.

Disadvantage Motor Home - can be difficult to find parking when you go to the store or if you want to eat at a restaurant. Also if it requires service you must go either to an RV dealer or a Truck Service center.



Advantage 5Th Wheel Camper - Your tow vehicle ( Pick Up ) is always on hand for those short trips to the store or restaurant and for local sightseeing drives. The tow vehicle can be serviced at any shop or quick lube facility. I also believe that they are also easier to maneuver in close quarters, but you do have to know how to back a trailer!



Disadvantage 5Th Wheel - You do have to purchase/own, insure and maintain the tow vehicle separately - if you have no other reason to own a pick up truck this is a significant issue if you do not already have or need one for practical uses such as hauling firewood and plowing snow.



As to the Jayco specifically - They are prone to water leaks around the windows and roof seams which if not kept repaired on a regular basis will lead to rotten floors - if you are buying used check the flooring carefully - especially inside the cabinets and bathroom areas.



Also check for recalls on the Refrigerator, furnace, A/C and inverter regardless of the brand of camper or motor home if buying used.



One other note - when planning trips remember that your propane tanks are considered Hazardous Materials and are prohibited from ALL major tunnels! ($250 to $2500 fine!)Need info on 24' motor home?
*slaps his face*

I can NOT believe you just asked if I have experienced an escapade with Jay in a motor home when I was 24.



That is SO none of your business. Apologize now! *crosses arms and taps toe while glaring*Need info on 24' motor home?
The floors rot out.
