01 What makes it unique
The Jay Feather 25RB takes a different path to family capacity: instead of rear bunks, it places a full bathroom across the back wall and a private walk-around queen up front, sleeping six via convertible furniture in between. The rear bath is a genuine comfort upgrade — more room than a mid-trailer bath, with better separation between the sleeping and living ends of the 30-foot coach.
It rides on the full Jay Feather platform — Norco® Z-frame, Stronghold VBL™ laminated walls, Magnum Truss™ roof, 11 cubic-foot 12-volt refrigerator — with a 7,500-pound GVWR on a 6,150-pound dry weight. That leaves 1,350 pounds of payload, the tightest of these six, so families travelling fully loaded should watch the scale. The 55-gallon fresh and 60-gallon gray support extended stays.
It sleeps six in a layout built around privacy rather than bunk count, at an MSRP in the mid-$40,000s. For a small family or a couple who host, who want a real walk-around bed and a spacious rear bath rather than a bunk room, the 25RB is the comfort-first family plan in the line.
Specifications by model year
This floorplan has a verified factory record for 7 model years here, 2021 to 2027, and the specification does not hold still. Across those years GVWR ranges from 7,000 lb in 2021 to 7,600 lb in 2027, a spread of 600 lb; dry weight ranges from 5,735 lb in 2024 to 6,150 lb in 2025, a spread of 415 lb; dry tongue weight ranges from 630 lb in 2021 to 800 lb in 2025, a spread of 170 lb. Even the published sleeping capacity moves (4 and 46 and 6). That is why each model year has its own page below, carrying only its own published figures. Nothing on a year page is copied across from a neighbouring year.
| Model year | Dry (UVW) | GVWR | Cargo (CCC) | Dry tongue | Sleeps | Tire size |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 5,850 | 7,000 | 1,150 | 630 | 46 | Not published |
| 2022 | 5,825 | 7,250 | 1,425 | 660 | 46 | Not published |
| 2023 | 5,815 | 7,250 | 1,435 | 710 | 4 | ST205/75R14'D' |
| 2024 | 5,735 | 7,250 | 1,515 | 700 | 6 | ST205/75R14'D' |
| 2025 | 6,150 | 7,500 | 1,350 | 800 | 6 | ST205/75R14'D' |
| 2026 | 5,900 | 7,500 | 1,600 | 715 | 4 | ST205/75R14'D' |
| 2027 | 6,130 | 7,600 | 1,470 | 715 | 6 | ST205/75R14'D' |
Every row is that model year’s own record from Jayco’s model page for that year. The figures in the tow-critical placard at the top of this page are the 2027 record from the source this catalogue originally profiled. On the weights, overall length and tire size, that record and Jayco’s own 2027 model page agree on every field both of them publish. Exterior height is not compared: Jayco publishes a bare height, a with-A/C height and a with-2nd-A/C height, and the single height row carried here cannot be matched to one of them, so no claim is made either way.

These graphics are generated from the same verified record that builds the table above, and are published under this site’s own licence — nothing here is traced from, or derived from, a manufacturer drawing or photo.

What it takes to tow this
Built from this floorplan’s verified weights. We publish the trailer side only.
We do not publish tow ratings for specific trucks. A single model can vary by thousands of pounds depending on engine, axle ratio, cab, drivetrain and package — the only authoritative figure is the one on your own door jamb. Loaded tongue percentages are industry convention for travel trailers (10–15% of loaded weight), not a measurement of this unit. Hitch classes are not used here as a rating: SAE J684 covers trailers to 10,000 lb GVWR and does not define Class V, and capacity boundaries differ between manufacturers — read the rating stamped on your hitch.
03 Jay Feather floorplan family
Jay Feather is Jayco's lightweight step-up travel trailer — a notch above the value Jay Flight SLX, built on an American-made Norco® Z-frame with vacuum-bonded laminated walls, an 11 cubic-foot 12-volt refrigerator and residential touches. The 2026 line runs nineteen floorplans from compact Murphy-bed couples' trailers up to 36-foot family bunkhouses. The 25RB on this page is highlighted; each other profiled plan links to its own page, and the rest of the line is catalogued on the hub.
| Floorplan | Nominal | Sleeps | Notable |
|---|---|---|---|
| 19MRK | 23 ft | 2 | Compact Murphy bed + rear kitchen, couples |
| 21MML | 25 ft | 3 | Murphy bed + single bunk, flexible compact |
| 24FK | 27 ft | 2 | Front cook’s kitchen, rear bedroom, couples |
| 23RK | 29 ft | 4 | Rear-kitchen couples coach, dual entry |
| 25RB | 30 ft | 6 | Rear-bath family, walk-around queen |
| 26RL | 31 ft | 4 | Rear-living couples coach, front queen |
| 27BH | 32 ft | 10 | Double-bunk family bunkhouse, dual entry |
| 27MK | 33 ft | 6 | Rear island-kitchen coach, twin slides |
| 26FK | 34 ft | 4 | Front slide-out kitchen, rear queen, twin slides |
| 29BHB | 34 ft | 10 | Big-family bunkhouse, outside kitchen |
| 29QBH | 36 ft | 10 | Quad-bunk family bunkhouse, rear bath + outside kitchen |
| 30RKB | 36 ft | 4 | Rear island-kitchen coach, twin slides, front bedroom |
| 32RL | 36 ft | 6 | Rear-living coach, kitchen island, twin slides |
| 32QBH | 38 ft | 10 | Quad-bunk bunkhouse, twin slides, line flagship |
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.
04 What owners & reviewers report
Rear bath, front queen
A full back-wall bath and a private walk-around queen give better separation and flow than a bunk plan.
Sleeps six without bunks
Convertible furniture sleeps six while keeping an adult-oriented layout — a family trailer that doesn’t feel like one.
Roomy rear bathroom
The across-the-back bath is more generous than a mid-trailer bath — a real day-to-day comfort gain.
Tightest payload of the six
1,350 lb of payload is modest for a 30-foot trailer — mind the load when travelling six-up with gear.
05 How it compares
Shorter, with a rear kitchen and couples-focused sleeping — the choice if six berths aren’t needed.
A true double-bunkhouse sleeping ten — the family step up when the kids need their own berths.
The value double-bunkhouse — cheaper and lighter, a different take on family sleeping.
06 Loading it for a trip
Fresh water is the single biggest line in this floorplan’s load plan. A full 55-gallon tank is about 34% of the 1,350-pound cargo capacity — enough that whether you tow with water aboard is a real decision on the Jay Feather 25RB rather than a detail.
| Weight budget | Figure | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Cargo capacity as published (CCC) | 1,350 lb | Everything you add: gear, water, propane, batteries, food, people’s belongings. |
| Fresh tank filled (55 gal × 8.34 lb) | −459 lb | Water is the heaviest thing most owners add, and it is added first. |
| Cargo budget left with a full fresh tank | 891 lb | 34% of this plan’s capacity is spent before a single bag is loaded. |
| Per sleeping position, water aboard | 149 lb | A rough share of what is left across the 6 berths this plan sleeps. |
The published dry tongue weight of 715 pounds is 12% of the 6,150-pound dry weight, which sits inside the 10–15% band usually quoted for stable towing. It is still a dry figure: loading the front pass-through and the fresh tank both push it up.
Nothing above changes the ceiling. Loaded to its 7,500-pound GVWR the Jay Feather 25RB is towing 1,350 pounds more than its 6,150-pound dry figure, and that is the number your vehicle has to be rated for — not the brochure weight.
Tank balance is generous here: 55 gallons of fresh against 60 grey and 34 black, so waste capacity keeps pace with supply and the fresh tank is the constraint that ends a dry stay.
07 Where this floorplan sits
Ranked by GVWR, the Jay Feather 25RB sits 28 of 43 in the Jay Feather line: 7,500 pounds against a line that runs from 3,500 to 9,600 pounds. That position is the useful thing to know, because the plans immediately either side of it are the real alternatives.
Either side of it in the same line: Jay Feather 24FK matches it exactly at 7,500 lb GVWR; and Jay Feather 26RL is 100 pounds heavier at 7,600 lb GVWR.
4 other Jay Feather plans share this floorplan’s 7,500 lb GVWR, so the ranking above separates plans that tow to the same ceiling. On a shared chassis the figure that actually differs between them is cargo capacity and where the weight sits, not the rating.
| Comparable travel trailers | GVWR (lb) | Dry (lb) | Sleeps | Length |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jay Feather 25RB | 7,500 | 6,150 | 6 | 30 ft 1 in |
| Coachmen Freedom Express Ultra Lite 245RKS | 7,500 | 5,980 | 4 | 28 ft 5 in |
| Hideout 212RKS | 7,500 | 5,360 | 3 | 25 ft 6 in |
| Jay Flight 236TH | 7,500 | 5,060 | 4 | 28 ft 4 in |
| North Trail 250CK | 7,500 | 5,925 | 4 | 30 ft 1 in |
| Springdale 2120RKS | 7,500 | 5,450 | 5 | 25 ft 6 in |
| White Hawk 25MBH | 7,500 | 6,195 | 8 | 30 ft 8 in |
Against the Jay Feather 25RB: the Coachmen Freedom Express Ultra Lite 245RKS is 2 ft shorter and sleeps 2 fewer; the Hideout 212RKS is 5 ft shorter and sleeps 3 fewer; the Jay Flight 236TH is 2 ft shorter and sleeps 2 fewer. Those are differences in the published numbers only — what they cost, how they are built and how they live are separate questions each of those pages answers on its own terms.
Those are the nearest travel trailers from other lines by weight — one per line, picked by proximity on that figure and nothing else. They are listed so the same tow vehicle can be checked against real alternatives, not because they are equivalent inside; layout, build and price diverge sharply across that group.
For scale, the Jay Feather floorplans profiled here run 2,515 to 8,010 pounds dry and 18 to 38 feet of exterior length across 43 plans. Where a floorplan falls in that spread usually says more about which vehicle can tow it, and which site it fits, than the layout name does.
Every profiled floorplan in this line, with the full weight table, is on the Jay Feather line hub.
08 Common questions about the Jay Feather 25RB
How much does the Jay Feather 25RB weigh?
It leaves the factory at 6,150 pounds dry, and its manufacturer-set loaded ceiling (GVWR) is 7,500 pounds. Real towing weight lands between the two and depends entirely on what you load. Use the GVWR when matching a tow vehicle; the dry figure is only useful for comparing floorplans against each other.
How much can the Jay Feather 25RB carry?
Cargo carrying capacity is 1,350 pounds. That is the whole budget: water, propane, batteries, gear and everything you bring. Filling the 55-gallon fresh tank uses about 459 pounds of that.
What is the tongue weight of the Jay Feather 25RB?
The published dry tongue weight is 715 pounds. It is measured empty; loaded, it runs higher, and it comes out of your tow vehicle’s payload rather than its tow rating.
What size tow vehicle does the Jay Feather 25RB need?
Your vehicle needs a tow rating of at least 7,500 pounds — this floorplan’s GVWR — and enough payload left over for the hitch load, passengers and anything in the bed. This site does not publish tow ratings for specific vehicles, because one truck model varies by thousands of pounds across engine, axle ratio, cab and package. The figure that governs is the payload sticker on your own door jamb.
How many people does the Jay Feather 25RB sleep?
It is rated to sleep 6. Rated sleeping positions include convertible furniture, so count the beds against how you actually travel rather than against the number.
What are the tank capacities on the Jay Feather 25RB?
Fresh 55 gallons, grey 60 gallons, black 34 gallons. Tank sizes set how long the floorplan can sit away from hookups, and the smallest of the three is what ends the stay.
How long is the Jay Feather 25RB?
Exterior length is 30' 1". Measure against your site length and your storage before committing — the exterior figure is the one that has to fit, and it includes the tongue or pin box.
Every figure in these answers is read from this page’s verified specification table. Where the manufacturer publishes nothing, the question is not answered rather than estimated.
09 What this page publishes, and what it does not
This catalog tracks 18 specification fields per floorplan. Named sources publish 18 of them for the Jay Feather 25RB. The rest are not shown, because the alternative is reading a figure across from a sibling floorplan or from what the segment usually does — and a number nobody published is worth less than an admitted gap.
Every tracked field is published for this floorplan — which is less common than it should be, and worth noting when comparing this plan against one where half the table is blank.
The completeness figure at the foot of this page (97%) measures the same thing on the full field set: it is a measurement of how much this floorplan’s manufacturer publishes, not of how much research went into the page.
How every figure here was sourced and checked is set out on the methodology page.
11 NHTSA safety record
This floorplan belongs to the Jay Feather line, and NHTSA holds 23 recall campaigns and 39 owner complaints against that line. They are separate records and are not added together — a recall is a manufacturer-confirmed defect with a remedy; a complaint is one owner’s account, which NHTSA does not verify.
What to look at on a used one. Across the 39 complaints filed on this line the most-reported components are structure (21%), equipment (15%) and tires (15%). That is where owners of this family have had trouble, so it is where an inspection is worth the time.
Recall coverage is not complete — our harvest of NHTSA’s recall API ran 1,556 queries, of which 0 failed and 242 returned an explicit zero. A line can still be under-reported where NHTSA files a roster under a parent name, or where a match rests on the wording of the recall rather than its model field. Complaints come from the complete bulk file but are unverified and self-selected: a high count tracks how many units a line sold at least as much as how well it was built. Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Jay Feather line page.
