Diesel vs Gas Class A Motorhome for Family of 6: Expert Advice

Three months of research comparing diesel pushers versus gas Class A motorhomes for our family of 6 has left us more confused than ever!

Here's what's driving me crazy - diesel pushers from around 2010-2012 seem like the budget sweet spot, with their quieter engine placement at the rear and more comfortable ride. But we had a devastating mold problem in our last house that affected everyone's health, and I'm terrified of buying an older RV that might have hidden moisture issues.

The newer gas Class A units (2015 and up) seem like they'd be safer from a mold standpoint, but I worry we're sacrificing ride quality and long-term reliability. Since we don't already own a heavy-duty truck, a motorhome seems more practical than a 5th wheel. With four kids, comfort matters, but their health matters more.

Honestly not sure if this is actually needed or just another way to get more cash out of me. I mean, the JRide Plus already has beefier sway bars than stock, so are the brackets really the weak link here? Would love to know if this upgrade is actually worth doing or if I'm fine sticking with what I've got. …more

Jayco Precept Windshield Wiper Motor Troubleshooting & Repair Guide

Noticed my 2025 Jayco Precept 29V windshield wiper motor completely died after I followed a YouTube repair tutorial that somehow made everything worse. The system appears to be integrated with the Ford chassis electrical components, but I need to systematically troubleshoot the root cause before pursuing warranty repairs.

What are the primary failure points in the Jayco Precept wiper system, and what diagnostic sequence should I follow? I need to verify whether this is a fuse issue, switch malfunction, motor failure, or mechanical linkage problem. The symptoms suggest electrical failure, but I want to eliminate all possibilities methodically.

Specifically looking for guidance on the Ford chassis integration and most common failure modes for this model's wiper system. …more
