I purchased a 2017 Jayco Precept 36T on 9/16/2017 and have had issues with it, most that have been handled by Jayco, including a slideout. However, the Windshield Wipers have been a problem for the last 3 years that I have owned it. The Driver's Side Wiper, when being operated, goes too far to the side and goes off the vehicle, flopping off to the side. Camping World has tried to repair it several times, supposedly with Jayco's help, and has failed every time. Open Roads tried to repair it and failed on their first attempt. I am taking it back to them and verifying that they contact Jayco for help in repairing it correctly.
