Kestrel Take
A well-built gas Class C on the Ford E-450 chassis — the Greyhawk is a popular, family-friendly cabover with Jayco's better-than-average build and warranty. Class C's are easier to drive than a Class A and the Ford chassis/V10 has a strong durability record and serviceable anywhere. Same roof/seal, slide, and tire-age inspection. A dry, well-kept Greyhawk is one of the more sensible family RV buys; the water and slide checks matter most.
What we checked
Not checked against public records
Motorhomes are in NHTSA’s database and we intend to use it. We have not switched it on yet because recall notices name sub-brands and floorplans rather than the model we key on, and folding them in carelessly would put another coach’s recall on this page. What follows is our own write-up, and it has not been reconciled against an official record. Treat it as a starting point, not a verdict.
