Jayco 2020 Preview | We’ve Got the Inside Scoop

petesrvblog Dealer News, Jayco, Pete's RV Center

To wrap up the year of 2019, we have a gift for you RVers who are excited to see what’s new and shiny for 2020. Back in late summer, we had the privilege to be guests at Jayco’s annual dealer meeting in Indianapolis.

During this meeting, we were able to learn about new features and see all new floorpans for the year to come. (It was also Pete’s RV’s second year on the award stage moving up four spots to second place for the Top Ten Jayco Towable Dealers AND placed fifth for Top Jayco Motorhome dealer category!)

Our take? Along with the the new fiberglass sided Jay Flight SLX, we are ecstatic to show you the upgraded appliances and all of the new sleek exterior designs for every brand. There are so many more features to see!

But you decide for yourself!  Along with the few teasers above, we shared a Facebook photo album of the event highlights and sneak peek of every new Jayco brand and model in the 2020 line-up.

Announced during the awards dinner at Jayco, Inc’s annual Dealer Homecoming, Pete’s RV Center was announced number three in the category of Top Ten Towable Dealers for Model Year 2018.

Their South Windsor, CT store led the charge with the sale with a combination of nearly seven hundred Jayco travel trailers and fifth wheels.  An outstanding achievement considering Pete’s RV Center was not ranked in the top ten last year.

“It was difficult walking out of the awards ceremony last year knowing we had just missed the cut for top ten.  That disappointment diminished with this year’s announcement”, reflected co-owner Chad Shepard.  “It was a thrilling moment accepting the award from Jayco’s founding family, the Bontragers.  I did so on behalf of everybody at Pete’s RV who worked so hard to help propel us into the number three ranking.”

Established in 1968, Jayco, Inc., manufactures and markets towable and motorized RVs through its Jayco, Starcraft, Entegra Coach, and Highland Ridge RV divisions.

Pete’s RV Center is an extraordinary recreational vehicle dealer group with three New England locations and a fourth in Schererville, Indiana.  A RV sales and service provider since 1952, Pete’s RV Center carries an extensive inventory of Keystone, Forest River, Airstream, and of course, Jayco-branded campers and motorhomes.
