Jayco · 2025–2027Jay Feather 26FK

The Jay Feather 26FK puts a slide-out kitchen across the front and the bedroom across the back — the reverse of most trailers. A full cook’s galley with a stainless sink under a large window opens up on a front slide, a private queen bedroom (with an optional 72×80 king) sits at the rear, and a second slide widens the living area between them. The front-kitchen arrangement keeps cooking smells and clutter away from the bed and makes the galley the bright, window-lit social centre of a 34-foot trailer.

Underneath is the full Jay Feather build — an American-made Norco® Z-frame with integrated A-frame, a vacuum-bonded Stronghold VBL™ laminated floor, the Magnum Truss™ roof, an aluminum-framed rounded front with a molded cap, and Azdel® composite sidewalls. An 8,700-pound GVWR on a 7,090-pound dry weight leaves 1,610 pounds of payload, and the equipment is full Jay Feather: an 11 cubic-foot 12-volt refrigerator, a 55-gallon fresh tank and a 61-gallon gray, plus the residential finish the value lines don’t carry.

It sleeps four around a private rear bedroom and a front kitchen, near an MSRP of $52,000 before the usual dealer discounting. For a couple or small family who cook and want a defined bedroom separated from the galley by the trailer’s whole length, the 26FK is the brightest front-kitchen layout Jayco builds in this size.

This floorplan has a verified factory record for 3 model years here, 2025 to 2027, and the specification does not hold still. Across those years GVWR ranges from 8,500 lb in 2025 to 8,700 lb in 2026, a spread of 200 lb; dry weight ranges from 7,065 lb in 2025 to 7,210 lb in 2027, a spread of 145 lb; dry tongue weight ranges from 925 lb in 2025 to 1,030 lb in 2027, a spread of 105 lb. 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.

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 26FK 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.

A full 55-gallon fresh tank is about 459 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 28% of the Jay Feather 26FK’s 1,610 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,151 lb (288 lb per rated berth).
