    Status:
    Answered
    We purchased a brand new ***** ***** 5th wheel and have had on going problems with the large slide with ******* tech technology. We finally got refunded our money after having the original slide fixed by an outside traveling rv repair company. This is after having our camper at Trailside there and not able to find an issue with it. When we went to pick it up, I ran the slide out and it failed right in front of their eyes. They were able to run the slide back in and had us take it home. We have had to return it again for the 2nd time this past winter and they tell us that they test it often and have not been able to get it to fail. I find it hard to believe that they have truly worked on our camper. I feel like we are being shoved off because we are in the last month of our warranty. We went there 3 weeks ago to get an update because there hasn't been any communication from them unless we call. We are at the point to ask for a replacement camper because what Trailside sold us was a lemon. They offered to have us trade ours in and purchase another one, which is now 30 grand more and we are not in the market for a brand new camper. It should just be replaced. Our current camper does not make camping enjoyable.

    We bought a new travel trailer from Trailside in 2019. This ** has been nothing but a lemon, that required repairs literally after every time we used it. Thanks to a great **************** employee, most of the repairs were covered under warranty, but is was always a painful process.Last fall (September of 2021) we were on our way to ********, and one of the wheel bearings burnt up and left us stranded on I-70. This is when my frustration with Jayco and Trailside boiled over. After getting our ** repaired I contacted both Jayco (** manufacturer) and Trailside in an attempt to get them to reimburse me for my repair costs, and both were completely uncooperative. The ** was out of warranty by just a couple of weeks, so they felt like they had no obligation to pay for the repairs. I could have understood this, except for the fact that the axle that had the bearing failure had just been replaced under warranty. After multiple failed attempts to get some support from Trialside, through my own research I found out that the axle repair was covered under the axle manufacturer's warranty. I was able to get my repair costs paid for by this 3rd party supplier, but with absolutely no help from Trailside. The General Manager at Trailside was copied on all correspondence between myself and the service department as well as with Jayco and not once did he engage and offer any support. It should not be the ** owner's responsibility to chase warranty service from a 3rd party supplier, and for Trailside to completely wash their hands of the situation and offer no support is unacceptable. Needless to say, we will never do business with Trailside or own another Jayco product again. I hope that other prospective ** owners see this, and strongly consider the lack of customer service by ********************, when they are deciding where to take their business.
