01 What makes it unique
The Jay Feather 25BH is on Jayco’s 2027 Jay Feather roster. Jayco’s own floorplan page lists it at 29 ft 8 in overall, 9 ft 11 in tall (10 ft 9 in with the air conditioner) and 8 ft wide, sleeping up to 8.
Jayco publishes all four weights: an unloaded vehicle weight of 6,015 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 1,585 lb and a GVWR of 7,600 lb (unloaded weight plus cargo capacity equals the GVWR exactly), with a dry hitch weight of 665 lb. Tanks are 55 gal fresh, 76 gal grey and 38 gal black, with 40 lb of propane.
Nearest on Jayco’s 2027 Jay Feather roster by unloaded weight: 23MBD (6,045 lb UVW, 1,455 lb CCC) and 25RB (6,130 lb UVW, 1,470 lb CCC).
How the 25BH differs from the other 45 Jay Feather floorplans. Most distinctive first. Each rank counts only the siblings that publish that field, and a figure most of them share is left out. Not every one of these pages covers the same model years as this one (2027); each figure is the one its own page prints, so a rank compares pages, not one model year.

Check your vehicle. Enter the ratings from your owner’s manual and the door-pillar placard.
Compares your figures with this page’s published GVWR (7,600 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,140 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern.
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).

Most Jay Feather floorplans carry a single slide and an optional king bed in place of the standard 60×80 queen; several add an outdoor camp kitchen. Jay Feather replaced the discontinued White Hawk in Jayco's range for 2025, absorbing its more-featured positioning. Additional floorplans (front-kitchen, rear-living, and bunk layouts) are documented on the line hub. Always confirm equipment and weights against the unit's own weight sticker.
