Jayco Inc RV Ratings & Reviews by Consumer Group
Jayco, Inc. is one of the largest manufacturers of travel trailers, fifth wheels and Class C motorhomes. Located in Middlebury, Indiana, Jayco was founded in 1968 by Lloyd J. Bontrager who felt he could build a better RV and a better company. He started Jayco on the family farm – in two chicken houses and a barn – by developing a prototype camping trailer and an original lifter system for fold-down campers. This design was patented and is still in use today. By the end of the first year Bontrager had 15 employees and the company had sold 132 camping trailers. Today the company is still owned and operated by the Bontrager family and almost 1,500 employees are part of the “Jayco family.” |
