Hands down The Grand Design Imagine takes this comparison. Just love how it looks and the quality they put in their travel trailers are equivalent to what the do on their higher end bigger TT and fifth wheels. Jayco are nice too but I've rather go with the Grand Design.

Keep in mind that when Jayco makes trailers they might do a Pre-Delivery Inspection of like 1 out of 50 or 1 out of 100 units, Grand Design does a PDI on every single trailer that gets built. Also from what I've heard is that Grand Design was the first company to offer a 3 year warranty and they offered that before they even built their first unit.

Wouldn't an apples to apples comparison look more like a Grand Design Imagine 2800BH vs a Jayco Whitehawk 29BH? Those two are more in direct competition with each other in my opinion. Also, maybe mention more about underbelly and frame design, side wall construction, roof capacity and design. The structural things that have a direct impact on the longevity of the travel trailer. Maybe mention standard equipment like the btu's of the air conditioning, which one is solar prepped vs actually coming solar ready. The little things that add up. Both are big investments so as much information as possible is always appreciated. Initial quality is great but success is ultimately determined by how long the product lasts. How the warranties of each stack up could also be mentioned. All this is just food for thought.

Storage is huge, comfort and quality are everywhere. Having a solar panel put on the roof. GL filling your 30lb tanks when I’ll simply swap out my 20lb at the nearest gas station. Looking forward to our first camping adventure in our new GD. Thx for the comparison video.

I'm really feeling the Jayco. I like the fact that the area around the kitchen isn't walled off so that you can see beyond it from the bedroom. I also like the layout of the Jayco bathroom a little more, and the extra door going into it is a plus. The Jayco also has a great platform in front of the TV plus that cool storage behind it. Just seems roomier.

We have had both Jayco and Grand Design, not either of these models though. As others have stated, the Grand Design is far better quality and customer service has been very good. We had a lot of issues with our Jayco, mostly little nitpick things. We had a couple of warranty things with the Grand Design when it was brand new, which were fixed correctly. The drop frame storage bins in the Grand Design are huge, warranties are longer and it is a 4 season trailer. We've camped in snow and desert heat, we absolutely love ours. We had to add 12V outlets for CPAPs, a better mattress and a slide-out awning. Nithing is perfect but this works for us.

I had numerous issues that were corrected, but the deciding factor in getting rid of the Cougar was the slide-out cable system broke. One of the brackets completely tore off from the wall. This occurred while at the dealer for the other repairs. I would have been in serious trouble if I was located in the middle of nowhere as you can not completely close the slide-out. Do not buy any trailer with a cable system. In addition, the Keystone customer service was not helpful and rude.

The Camp Queen was used (mattress still wrapped in plastic) a few times. Nothing else was used in the TT, not even the shower. The original owner paid $30,000. I offered $23,000, and they took it. So far, I have yet to take my maiden voyage with it. I'm impressed with the simplicity of the design and build quality. I'm a first time RV'er.

Our Grand Design comes back in one piece whereas our other trailers comes back with the the laminate starting to delaminate. Grand Design all the way. In fact our salesman rented our Grand Design for a week and he will only rent Grand Designs.

Way more lighting inside Jayco both natural and Led. Way more lighting outside trailer in the darkest night. Complete camera prep side markers an backup. 30 amp solar panel on roof for batteries. I looked @ both very closely before purchasing Jayco front A-Frame slides thru front box beam then welded rather then welded to bottom of box frame .When I toured the two plants Jayco uses No OSB wood in their Trailers only Plywood. GD plant has a plant full of OSB board No comparison.

100% agree! If the skeleton (i.e. Framing decking type of fasteners used etc.) is not the highest quality then your trailer is junk out of the factory. Yes all the whistles and bells add to the aesthetics but basically they’re all window dressing, and most do not add anything to the longevity of the quoted “earthquake on wheels.” With that in mind Jayco is my pick.

The Grand Design gets my vote. Jayco RVs are good, but their interior design is dated to me. You can put whatever colour scheme on them, but doors with in-laid panels are so old fashioned. On the contrary, the Grand Design has a very modern feel to it. Even though I don't really like the off-white inserts, but I'll still favour that over the so-called modern barn house. Other brands with interiors that I really like are Airstreams and NuCamps. I especially like the NuCamp Avia's unconventional exterior.
