01 What the Jay Feather line is
Jay Feather is Jayco's lightweight step-up travel trailer — positioned above the value Jay Flight SLX and below the premium Eagle HT, it pairs genuinely towable weights with a more residential build and equipment list than the value lines carry.
The line spans nineteen 2026 floorplans from roughly 23 to 38 feet, covering compact Murphy-bed couples' trailers, rear-kitchen and rear-bath couples' coaches, and double-bunk family bunkhouses up to sleeps-ten. Most plans carry a single slide and offer an optional 72×80 king bed in place of the standard 60×80 queen; several add an outdoor camp kitchen. Dry weights run from the high-4,000-pound range to 8,000 pounds at the flagship 32QBH, keeping the lighter plans within reach of properly equipped half-ton trucks and, at the small end, larger SUVs, while the largest bunkhouses ask for a capable half-ton-plus or three-quarter-ton.
Construction is the step-up story: an American-made Norco® Z-frame with an integrated A-frame, a 2-inch Stronghold VBL™ vacuum-bonded laminated floor, an aluminum-framed rounded front profile with diamond plating, the Magnum Truss™ roof with a PVC membrane, and galvanized impact-resistant wheel wells. Inside, seamless countertops, handcrafted hardwood cabinetry, an 11-cubic-foot 12-volt refrigerator and residential vinyl flooring lift it above the value tier; a 13,500-BTU Quiet Series air conditioner and a tankless on-demand water heater are standard, with the Climate Shield four-season package available. Jay Feather replaced the discontinued White Hawk in Jayco's range for 2025, taking over its more-featured slot.
02 Floorplans profiled in depth
Fourteen representative floorplans across the range are profiled in full with RVUSA- and brochure-verified specifications — spanning compact Murphy-bed couples' trailers, twin-slide front- and rear-kitchen coaches, island-kitchen and rear-living layouts, rear-bath couples' plans, and double- and quad-bunk family bunkhouses up to sleeps-ten, including the line's 37-foot flagship. The remaining five 2026 floorplans are catalogued below for reference and will be profiled as the catalog expands.
| Floorplan | Dry wt | GVWR | Length | Sleeps | Layout | MSRP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| 23RK | 5,930 lbs | 7,400 lbs | 28' 7" | 4 | Rear-kitchen couples coach, dual entry | $44,468 |
| 24FK | 5,855 lbs | 7,500 lbs | 26' 6" | 2 | Front cook’s kitchen, rear bedroom, twin slides | $56,993 |
| 25RB | 6,150 lbs | 7,500 lbs | 30' 1" | 6 | Rear-bath family, walk-around queen | $44,123 |

| 27BH | 6,660 lbs | 8,200 lbs | 32' 3" | 10 | Double-bunk family bunkhouse | $49,745 |
| 27MK | 7,305 lbs | 8,850 lbs | 33' 2" | 6 | Rear island-kitchen coach, twin slides | $52,350 |
| 26FK | 7,090 lbs | 8,700 lbs | 33' 10" | 4 | Front slide-out kitchen, rear queen, twin slides | $51,735 |
| 29BHB | 6,820 lbs | 8,500 lbs | 34' 0" | 10 | Big-family bunkhouse, outside kitchen | $51,068 |
| 29QBH | 7,295 lbs | 8,995 lbs | 36' 1" | 10 | Quad-bunk bunkhouse, rear bath + outside kitchen | $52,493 |
| 30RKB | 7,245 lbs | 8,995 lbs | 35' 10" | 4 | Rear island-kitchen coach, twin slides | $52,643 |
| 32RL | 7,580 lbs | 9,000 lbs | 35' 6" | 6 | Rear-living coach, kitchen island, twin slides | $55,350 |
| 32QBH | 8,000 lbs | 9,600 lbs | 37' 8" | 10 | Quad-bunk bunkhouse, twin slides, line flagship | $56,850 |
Dry weight, GVWR, payload, dimensions, tank capacities, refrigerator and sleeping are RVUSA-verified against the 2026 structured spec records, each page title-checked; the front-kitchen 24FK is the exception — its RVUSA record omits weights, so its dry weight, GVWR and payload come from Jayco's 2026 brochure (the 5,855 lb dry corroborated by multiple dealer listings) and its MSRP is a single-source manufacturer figure. For the rear-island-kitchen 27MK and the larger 32RL and 32QBH, a Jayco brochure lists slightly different unloaded weights and GVWRs; the RVUSA structured figures are used as the authority and the differences are noted on each plan's page. Dry tongue weights are from Jayco's 2026 Jay Feather brochure spec table. Jayco notes some published specs may include pre-production estimates — always confirm against the unit's weight sticker and your vehicle's payload before purchase. The remaining five 2026 floorplans — compact 18RBF, mid-bunk 21MBH, rear-bath 28RB and additional bunk plans (25BH, 23MBD) — are catalogued for future profiling.
03 Where Jay Feather sits — and the White Hawk it replaced
Jay Feather occupies the middle of Jayco's travel-trailer ladder. Understanding the lines above and below it — and the discontinued White Hawk whose role it absorbed — clarifies the choice.
| Line | Tier | Status | Floor | Distinguishing build |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jay Flight SLX | Value | Current | Laminated | Wood-framed value build; lowest price |
| Jay Feather | Mid | Current | VBL laminate | Norco® Z-frame, 11 cu ft fridge, residential touches |
| White Hawk | Premium-mid | Closed 2024 | Plywood | VBL walls + Azdel + plywood floor + I-beam; 82" ceiling |
| Eagle HT (TT) | Premium | Current | VBL laminate | Climate Shield, 4-Star Handling, larger & heavier |
The White Hawk was Jayco's premium-lightweight travel trailer for many years, sitting a notch above Jay Feather on the strength of a plywood floor (vs. Jay Feather's vacuum-bonded floor), a taller 82-inch ceiling, frameless windows, an 8-cubic-foot refrigerator and a porcelain toilet. As the two lines converged — sharing wall construction, frames and styling — Jayco discontinued White Hawk after the 2024 model year and folded its positioning into a more-featured Jay Feather for 2025. No 2026 White Hawk is built; owners of 2008–2024 White Hawks shopping a replacement are pointed by Jayco toward Jay Feather and the premium Eagle HT. The premium travel-trailer step-up above Jay Feather is now the Eagle HT travel trailer.
04 Line & model-year notes
The step-up that replaced White Hawk
For 2025 Jayco discontinued the White Hawk and moved Jay Feather up to fill its premium-lightweight slot, adding features and floorplans. If you are cross-shopping an older White Hawk against a current trailer, Jay Feather is its direct successor — with the Eagle HT travel trailer as the step above for buyers who want more.
Published weights may include estimates
Jayco notes that some specifications at the time of print may include estimates. Dry weight and dry tongue weight on these pages are the published 2026 figures (RVUSA structured records and the Jayco brochure), but a loaded trailer always weighs more — weigh the unit loaded and confirm against your vehicle's payload and the door-jamb placard before purchase.
Norco® Z-frame and a big fridge set the tier
Two things mark Jay Feather as a step above the value lines: the American-made Norco® Z-frame with an integrated A-frame, and the standard 11-cubic-foot 12-volt refrigerator — larger than the value tier's. Together with vacuum-bonded laminated walls and residential interior finishes, they justify the price step over Jay Flight SLX.
King-bed and outdoor-kitchen options are common
Most Jay Feather floorplans offer an optional 72×80 king bed in place of the standard queen, and several family plans add an outdoor camp kitchen. Confirm which options are fitted on any specific unit, as they affect both price and weight.
