01 What makes the 2024 29QBH different
The Jay Feather 29QBH is one of Jayco's Jay Feather travel trailers, the lightweight step-up line positioned above the value Jay Flight SLX and below the premium Eagle HT.

Federal tire recalls naming this size. NHTSA’s recall file names ST225/75R15 in 2 tire recalls: 14T015000 (Dynamic Tire Corp., 2014; make TOWMAX STR; model ST); 17T014000 (Triangle Tire USA, 2017; make TRIANGLE; model TR643). A tire recall covers only the brands, lines and DOT date codes it lists, and this page does not know which brand of tire this trailer was built with, so read the brand and DOT code on your own sidewalls before relying on this list. Only 242 of NHTSA’s 788 tire recalls name a size in their summary, so a size with no match is not a clean record (NHTSA recall file, read 12 Oct 2026).

Towing it
Loaded range: 10–15% of GVWR on the tongue, a rule of thumb, not a measurement of this unit. No truck ratings or hitch classes (why; NHTSA, DOT HS 809 433).
03 What changed for the 2024 model year
2024 is the earliest model year of the 29QBH on this site, so there is no earlier record to set it against. Section 01 compares it with 2025.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 6,970 | 8,500 | 785 | 10 | ST225/75R15'E' |
| 2025 | 7,330 | 8,500 | 958 | 10 | ST225/75R15'E' |

Fields Jayco does not publish for 2024
For this model year the factory record has no auto-ignition furnace. Those rows read “Not published” and are not filled in from another year.
04 Buying a 2024 29QBH at 2 model years old
Its age, and the date on its label
A 2024 29QBH is 2 model years old in 2026. Its build month is on the certification label (49 CFR 567.4(g)(2)), not in the model year.
Tires: size and date code
Jayco lists ST225/75R15'E' as the 2024 factory tire size. Read the four-digit date code at the end of each tire's identification number, spare included (49 CFR 574.5(b)(3)).
NHTSA record for model year 2024
For model year 2024, NHTSA's files hold 1 recall campaign under the Jayco Jay Feather name (see Jayco Jay Feather year by year). Campaigns by component: Tires (24V435000). They are filed against the line, not this floorplan alone.
