Jayco Jay Feather SL · 2026–202725RLSL

The Jayco Jay Feather SL 25RLSL is a 30' 1" travel trailer in the MY2027 Jay Feather SL roster. Jayco publishes a dry weight of 5,310 pounds against a 6,800-pound GVWR, and the two tie out exactly with the published 1,490-pound cargo carrying capacity — 5,310 + 1,490 = 6,800. That arithmetic is checked on every plan in this catalogue, and a plan whose own figures disagree is catalogued without a page rather than quietly reconciled.

The dry tongue weight is 560 pounds, or 11% of the dry weight. Tongue load transfers to the hitch and the rear axle, and a weight-distributing hitch redistributes it rather than removing it. Payload is 1,490 pounds, 22% of GVWR — that is the ceiling for water, propane, cargo and any dealer-fitted equipment combined. Fresh water alone at 55 gallons is about 457 pounds when full.

Tanks are 55 gallons fresh, 38 grey and 38 black. Interior height is 6' 6" and the exterior measures 8' 0" wide. Jayco publishes two exterior heights for this floorplan: 9' 11" at the roofline and 10' 9" with the air conditioner. Both are printed above, neither is derived from the other, and it is the taller figure that has to clear your garage. This page covers the MY2027 25RLSL only. Jayco’s figures move between model years — measured on one Jayco floorplan across five consecutive years, 20 of 28 published fields changed, including a 290-pound swing in dry hitch weight — so nothing here is carried over from a neighbouring year, and no year is shown that Jayco has not published for this code.

How the 25RLSL differs from the other 46 Jay Feather floorplans. Most distinctive first. Sibling pages may cover other model years than this one (2026–2027). How these ranks are worked out.

Next to the 21MML (2023–2027 page), the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 25RLSL is 225 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 300 lb higher, has 75 lb more cargo capacity, has a dry tongue weight 55 lb lighter, is 4 ft 8 in longer, has a grey tank 7.5 gal larger, has a black tank 7.5 gal larger and sleeps three more; the two publish the same exterior height, interior height and fresh tank.

Next to the 21MBH (2024–2026 page), the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 25RLSL is 140 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 195 lb lower, has 55 lb less cargo capacity, has a dry tongue weight 40 lb lighter, is 3 ft 5 in longer, has a grey tank 7.5 gal larger and has a black tank 7.5 gal larger; the two publish the same exterior height, interior height, fresh tank and sleeping capacity.

This floorplan has a published factory record for 2 model years here, 2026 to 2027. The specification does not hold still: dry tongue weight runs from 560 lb (2027) to 575 lb (2026). Each year’s complete record is printed separately below, carrying only that year’s own published figures and source. Nothing is copied across from a neighbouring year.

Jay Feather SL is a lightweight roster inside the Jay Feather range, sitting between Air SL and the core Jay Feather plans on published length and dry weight. It is a factory sub-roster and is catalogued under the Jay Feather line hub. The 25RLSL on this page is highlighted; every other profiled plan links to its own page.

A full 55-gallon fresh tank is about 457 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 31% of the 25RLSL’s 1,490 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,034 lb (172 lb per rated berth). Across 47 Jay Feather floorplans the water share runs 23% to 43%, and 20 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Jay Feather 29RL at 30% and Jay Feather 19MBS at 31%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
