2021 Jayco Travel Trailer JAY FLIGHT: complaints, problems and recalls

We have experienced an axle failure on our 2021 Jayco Travel Trailer. The trailer has never been over GVW. After a month of discussion with Lippert/Jayco they are unwilling to correct the following issue. Lippert's axle sticker (photo attached) states the Static Load Radius as measured is 11.9" & not to exceed this rating by more than 10%. The Baja Edition option as built by Jayco comes with 16" wheels & off road Goodyear tires. My Measurement of the SLR is 14.6" which exceeds the warning on the Lippert axle sticker.

With only 1,400 miles on RV, it was noticed that both the driver and passenger side rear tires had worn down to the belts on the inside. The axles have been replaced so they are likely no longer available for inspection, although I do have pictures. The safety risk is that had the faulty suspension parts completely failed, the axles could have become disengaged from the RV causing a major accident. The tires were also close to complete failure. The problem was confirmed by a service technician at a Jayco dealer.

The underbelly material blew off the RV, along with other insulation material, while driving on the Interstate. I was driving under the speed limit and in the far right lane. The material blew across the other lanes of traffic and, luckily, did not cause an accident. The same issue occurred less than a year ago and I had just got the RV back from the repair facility at Camping World in Albuquerque NM. I do have some pictures of both occurrences.

We recently purchased this camper and in preparation I crawled under it and looked around and what I saw made me cringe. The welding on the frame was the worst welding I've seen in years on a product for sale the main beams that tie the camper front to back were only welded on one side of the beam and there are four sides that could be welded. And upon further inspection found the weld on the main beam in the rear has already started to crack side.mounts for the camper body are only welded half the length of the bracket to the frame. The only …
