Jayco Eagle and Eagle HT Factory Plant Tour Behind the Scenes!

You should've seen my face when I walked into this new Eagle mega-facility. I was straight awestruck. It was like walking into Disney World as a little kid -- just an experience you can only FEEL and cannot describe!
I've been through Eagle's production several times, but this was the first time I had been through this new facility. Everything was so much brighter and more modern than I see in so many factories. I would HIGHLY recommend taking a tour of this plant if you ever have the opportunity for yourselves!
What's also more amazing is how this is only ONE of Eagle's multiple build facilities. The brand is so overwhelmingly popular there are several plants dedicated solely to Eagle production!
In this video I'll walk you through the process from raw Chassis to Finished Product showcasing both the processes employed during the Eagle RV construction process but also the little special details that come from this factory!
So give Jayco a big thanks for allowing me the time and access to record this video, click that like button, subscribe, and if you missed them or need extra references enjoy the links to other Jayco Factory Tours I've been able to record previously below as well as some Jayco vs. Jayco brand comparisons!

    Thank you to Jayco for allowing Josh to tour their production lines and showing the details. As a manufacturer, to me, it’s a risk you take knowing full well a competitor now can see your process, but to the customer you see what quality and details are taken as well as what Josh is talking about with construction terms. Awesome video Josh, very well done! 😊👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    I never get tired of the factory tours. When I was a trucker, I used to haul a lot of production materials to Fleetwood plants in California and Oregon back when they still made towable models. They were always happy to see me (mostly because a production delay was looming if I didn't show up in time) and they would always invite me in to look around. I usually had to get right back to work, though.

We just drove from Tacoma, WA to Cape Cod, down to the Maryland shore, through Ohio and out to Yellowstone before coming back to Tacoma area with our Jayco Eagle HT 264BHOK (our first travel trailer). Amazing family trip. 7700 miles in 6 weeks, and memories for our 6 year old daughter that will last a lifetime. Great tour of the Jayco facility. My wife has her eye on a 5th wheel now haha.

You were able to answer most of the serious concerns and questions I had verbally as well as visually! Can't ask for more than that!

    I own an Eagle 330rsts 2017 and I do like it. My wife and I live in it full time in Washington State. A couple of serious trouble issues are 1- there's no insulation between the underbelly and wood floor making for some cold air intrusion. 2- because the underbelly material has the ability to warp along the edges, Mountain Lion sized rodents get into this space (at least they sound about that big). 2.1- because of the large holes cut into the floor for wiring, plumbing, and mechanical equipment these rodents have total free access to wherever they want to go including the ceiling. I've spent the entire time we've been living here chasing down all of the areas that have open holes. I do agree that Jayco Eagle 330rsts are a great product however if they would like to be the best possible I would like to share what I'm doing to improve my home.

We tried it for a few weeks, but, hated it, so ordered and installed the conventional booth dinette. Works much better for us, and we now have an extra bed area for when we have guests. I still have the original units, should we ever change our minds, or for that time when we want to sell the travel trailer, but, the boot dinette works better for us.

    Great tour of the facility!!! I really like looking at the construction and the quality that goes into theses things. Since you asked about the dinette table, I would like to weigh in with my opinion here. I have an Open Range 319 RLS with a free standing dinette table and four chairs. In transit the floating island slides in beside the table and you stack four chairs on one side. Well, we tend to not use two chairs because it is just the two of us most of the time and they are in the house. I have looked and looked at that thing trying to figure out the configuration that would allow us to have the ability to use four chairs or a bench. I think this table configuration does it well. If you can move the bench and use it to put your feet up by the couch and then have two chairs at the dinette when you only want two chairs and then put it back to seat four, this makes it most versatile. It wouldn't work for me because of our floating island but I think this is a great way to add a little storage (presumably there is storage in the seat of the bench) and add a coffee table or foot rest to the couch for kicking up the feet in that situation as well. So, yes, I believe your customers would be benefitted from you ordering some of these and I wish I could have an option like that as well. As always, thanks for the great videos!!! Take care, Pat

    Excellent “show and tell” of Jayco efforts to produce quality Rvs. So much talk these days about how Thor’s acquisition of Jayco tanked the quality of the rigs. I seriously doubt that any such talk is true. What MAY affect quality however is the nature of the ted hot RV market and a “get em out the door” mentality. Our 2017 Eagle HT 28.5 RSTS has been wonderful. Great video. Thank you!

    There were a couple of those chassis with damage. I’m guessing from transport. They stack them up 8-10 high on a flat deck to ship them to the assembly plants. That metal is a lot thinner than it looks and is easy manipulated. They hopefully bang it out before attaching the wood structure. However, I’m not sure those wrinkles would have much effect on the final product once all secured together.

It was still under warranty and Jayco did approved the replacement of the rear wall back in January but we still haven't heard nothing about Jayco sending the rear wall to the dealer for replacement as of today, April 8, camping season is upon us and we would like to use our $60+ thousands dollars 5th wheel to go camping. We are beginning not to feel good about this purchase. We know things happen however the factory should have a little better customer service I believe.

    Got a question for u Josh, at 7:24 u see a travel trailer frame and a fifth wheel frame sitting next to each other and they look identical until u get up to the upper deck and the gooseneck part of the frame of coarse but on the fifth wheel frame u can see where the 6 point leveling system is, why can’t u get that kind of system on a travel trailer? Seems like the only thing u can get on a travel trailer are those scissor jacks! And so that’s what my question is, frames are pretty much identical and u can get 6 point leveling on the fifth wheel but u can’t even get like a 4 point leveling system on a travel trailer?! It would be really nice if u could get those cylinder jacks on a travel trailer!!! Thank u sir and keep up the awesome work!!! And just wanted to say that I love these factory tours!!!!

Speaking of the JFM's, I understand that they had some production delays late last month due to parts shortages. I know that you have said that you've heard of fiberglass shortages and insulation shortages throughout the industry, and I'm hearing rumors of difficulties getting windows and A/C units (but have no idea if those rumors are accurate). Have you heard any more on that? Also, looking at Jayco's production lines, it appears that they have all the parts they need for their high-end brands. Do you think that mfgs may be putting pressure on suppliers to ensure parts for their fifth-wheel and other high-end/higher-margin brands/lines to the potential shortage/detriment of the lower-end lines/entry-level models?
