01 What makes the 2026 295TBS different
The Jay Flight 295TBS is one of Jayco's Jay Flight travel trailers, the mass-market nameplate and the volume seller in Jayco's towable range.
Across the 2 model years of the 295TBS on this site (2026 to 2027), the 2026 record has the lightest dry weight, 7,048 lbs; the lowest GVWR, 9,200 lbs; the largest cargo capacity, 2,152 lbs; the lightest dry tongue weight, 805 lbs; the same exterior length as 2027 (36' 10").
Against the 2027 295TBS, the next model year on this site, 7 of the 18 fields both records publish differ: dry weight 7,048 lbs to 7,180 lbs (+132 lb); GVWR 9,200 lbs to 9,300 lbs (+100 lb); cargo capacity 2,152 lbs to 2,120 lbs (-32 lb); dry tongue weight 805 lbs to 840 lbs (+35 lb); exterior height 10' 8" to 10' 7" (-1 in); height with A/C 11' 0" to 11' 3" (+3 in); sleeping count up to 7 to up to 9.
Among the 54 Jayco Jay Flight travel trailers with a 2026 page on this site, the 295TBS is 9th heaviest of 54 by dry weight; 9th highest of 54 by GVWR; 4th largest of 54 by cargo capacity; joint 6th longest of 54 by exterior length. By dry weight, the lightest is the 130BHW at 2,495 lbs and the heaviest is the 334RTS at 8,735 lbs.

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 2026 model year
2026 is the earliest model year of the 295TBS on this site, so there is no earlier record to set it against. Section 01 compares it with 2027.
| Model year | Dry (UVW) | GVWR | Dry tongue | Sleeps | Tire size |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 7,048 | 9,200 | 805 | 7 | ST225/75R15'E' |
| 2027 | 7,180 | 9,300 | 840 | 9 | ST225/75R15'E' |

Where these numbers come from
Every figure on this page is read from Jayco's own 2026 model page for this floorplan (how sources are handled).
Fields Jayco does not publish for 2026
For this model year the factory record has no optional propane and auto-ignition furnace. Those rows read “Not published” and are not filled in from another year.
04 Buying a 2026 295TBS today
Its age, and the date on its label
2026 is the current model year. 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 2026 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 2026
The federal record on Jayco Jay Flight year by year runs from model year 2005 to 2024, so it holds nothing for 2026 yet.
05 How it compares — and to its other years
Differs from 2026 on 7 of 18 shared fields, dry weight, GVWR and cargo capacity among them.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 52-gallon fresh tank is about 434 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 20% of the 295TBS’s 2,152 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,718 lb (245 lb per rated berth). Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
