Jayco Jay Flight

The Jay Flight can be defined as the larger, big brother to the Jay Flight SLX. Both brands are built identically when it comes to superior Jayco construction. The things that do differentiate them though, is their trim. The Jay Flight has extra graphics on the exterior and bigger windows. SLX’s have 20-lb. LP whereas the full Jay Flight has 30-lb. LP bottles. Both have Goodyear endurance radial tires rated at 87 MPH with galvanized steel wheel wells and Jay SMART safety lighting systems. However, the full Jay Flight has aluminum rims vs stock rims on the SLX. The SLX has 2 entry steps, and the full Jay Flights have 3 steps. The SLX has fewer windows, some of which do not open, whereas with the full Jay Flight you get more windows, and all open. For more information on the difference, you can visit our friend Josh the RV nerd’s video comparing the 2 trims.

Are Jayco Jay Flights good trailers?

Backed by features, unmatchable construction, and numerous floor plans to fit the needs of all customers, the Jay Flight continues to be one of the top selling travel trailers in North America. It’s no wonder customers are switching from Forest River’s Salem and Wolf Pup, Keystone Hideout, and Grand Design Transcend. The Jay Flight and Jay Flight SLX’s integrated A frame are designed and engineered exclusively by Jayco engineers. They decide where they want the cross members and how thick the steel is. Jayco believes that the travel trailer’s strength begins with the foundations just like a home. The more intact the frame and chassis area is, the more intact the rest of a unit will be. Once the frame is built, the 5/8 tongue and groove plywood is glued and screwed to the frame, unlike the competitors which staple OSB. Every single unit has fiberglass insulation glued and cut into place so that every nook and cranny is insulated, keeping your unit warm in fall and spring and cool in summer. The thermal packages that come standard on all Jay Flights have an enclosed underbelly which are tucked inside the I-beam, vs the competitors which attach their underbelly on top of the I-beam leaving sagging and giving room for mice, critters, and water to creep inside.

Jay flights also have the strongest mesa crimped metal that avoids warping during extreme temperatures. Most of the competition uses longer weaker metal which is prone to buckling. The Jay Flight also has extra wide corner mold extrusions which ensure the unit is waterproof, most competitors use prefabricated straight pieces and shape it with rubber mallets to save money. Jay Flights also come standard with an outside shower, black tank flush, power awning with LED lights, and roof top solar prep. The construction alone on all Jay Flights makes for the strongest and safest trailer on the market. More exterior features include an electric tongue jack with light, 30lb LP bottles with covers, backup camera prep, and side marker lights.
