These top-quality materials, paired with the latest-construction advancements, allow Jayco to back the Melbourne with an industry-leading, 2-year Co-Pilot Limited Warranty — the most comprehensive warranty in the industry. This no-strings attached warranty is not an extended dealer warranty; it's a manufacturer's warranty that comes from the people who build Jayco RVs. Each Jayco is warranted to the original purchaser against defects in materials and workmanship. It's one of the many ways Jayco provides peace of mind (and more fun) to its customers.
