Jayco Jay Flight · 2023–2025240RBS

The Jay Flight 240RBS is one of Jayco's Jay Flight travel trailers, the mass-market nameplate and the volume seller in Jayco's towable range. This page covers one model year of it — the 2025 240RBS, exactly as Jayco published it — because the numbers that decide whether your truck can pull this trailer are not the same from one year to the next. Jayco publishes it at 8' 0" wide closed and 11' 0" with the slide-outs run out for the 2025 model year, which is the measurement that matters for a site pitch as well as for the road.

For the 2025 model year Jayco published a 7,150-pound GVWR on a 5,760-pound dry weight, 1,390 pounds of published cargo capacity, a 685-pound dry tongue weight. That dry tongue is 12% of the dry weight, inside the 10–15% band conventionally quoted for a bumper-pull trailer. Tongue weight is not fixed — it moves with how the trailer is loaded, and weight added ahead of the axles raises it. A tongue load in that range wants a weight-distribution hitch, and the tow vehicle's tongue-weight limit is a separate number from its trailer-weight limit — check the loaded tongue against the hitch receiver's rating and the vehicle's payload, not against the tow rating alone. The 2025 trailer left the factory on ST205/75R14'D' tyres; the load range in that code is part of the axle rating and a replacement set has to match it.

Against the 2024 build of the same floorplan, 6 published fields moved. The full comparison is in section 02, and it is drawn from two separate verified factory records rather than from one record and an assumption about the other.

A 2025 trailer is close to current as of 2026, but section 05 still applies: check it against its build date rather than its model year. Jayco commonly builds a model year well before the calendar year turns, and the tyre date codes have to be read against the build month, not the badge.

How the 240RBS differs from the other 122 Jay Flight floorplans. Most distinctive first. Sibling pages may cover other model years than this one (2023–2025). How these ranks are worked out.

• Sleeping capacity, 2: smallest of 110, level with the 140TB, 140TBW and two others; next are the 130BH, 130BHW and 24 others (4).
• Grey tank, 78 gal: shared with the 240RBSW, 263RBS and nine others; of 118, 104 smaller and two larger, nearest the 333BTS, 334RTS and two others (71.5 gal) and the 263BHSW (80 gal).
• Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 19.4%: 21st-smallest of 123, between the 40FKDS (19.2%) and the 235MBH, 32BHDS and 380DQS (19.7%).
• Cargo capacity, 1,390 lb: 34th-smallest of 123, between the 235MBH (1,380 lb) and the 270BHS (1,410 lb).
• Length, 27 ft 4 in: shared with the 240RBSW; of 123, 40 shorter and 81 longer, nearest the 224BH, 224BHW and two others (27 ft 1 in) and the 250BH and 250BHW (27 ft 7 in).
• GVWR, 7,150 lb: 55th-lowest of 123, between the 230FBS, 235MBH and five others (7,000 lb) and the 245BHS (7,200 lb).
• Dry tongue weight, 685 lb: 58th-lightest of 122, between the 274BH (660 lb) and the 242BHSW (700 lb).
• Dry weight, 5,760 lb: 60th-heaviest of 123, between the 235MBH and 265MWSW (5,620 lb) and the 261BHSW (5,765 lb).
• Dry tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 11.9%: shared with the 21QB, 247RBS and two others; of 122, 52 smaller and 65 larger, nearest the 264BH, 28BHS and two others (11.8%) and the 29BHDB, 29RLDS and 334RTS (12%).
• Exterior height, 10 ft 5 in: shared with the 211MBW, 242BHSW and ten others; of 109, 47 lower and 49 taller, nearest the 235MBH, 242BHS and 263RBS (10 ft 4 in) and the 210QB, 235MBHW and four others (10 ft 6 in).
• Fresh tank, 52 gal: shared with the 200MKS, 210QB and 47 others; of 123, 31 smaller and 42 larger, nearest the 40LOFT (51 gal) and the 40FKDS (53 gal).

Next to the 235MBH (2024–2025 page), the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 240RBS is 140 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 150 lb higher, has 10 lb more cargo capacity, has a dry tongue weight 40 lb heavier, is 6 in shorter, stands 1 in taller, has a grey tank 39 gal larger and sleeps six fewer; the two publish the same interior height, fresh tank and black tank.

Next to the 261BHSW (2024–2027 page), the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 240RBS is 5 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 450 lb lower, has 445 lb less cargo capacity, has a dry tongue weight 120 lb lighter, is 2 ft 11 in shorter, stands 7 in lower, has a fresh tank 24 gal smaller, has a grey tank 38 gal larger, has a black tank 1 gal smaller and sleeps eight fewer; the two publish the same interior height.

This floorplan has a published factory record for 3 model years here, 2023 to 2025. The specification does not hold still: GVWR runs from 6,750 lb (2023) to 7,150 lb (2025); dry weight runs from 5,465 lb (2023) to 5,760 lb (2025); dry tongue weight runs from 620 lb (2023) to 715 lb (2024). The published sleeping capacity changes across the years: up to 4 in 2023–2024, up to 2 in 2025. 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.

Jayco changed 6 of the published fields between the 2024 and 2025 240RBS. Every figure in both columns is that model year's own factory record — nothing here is carried across from the other year.

A full 52-gallon fresh tank is about 432 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 31% of the 240RBS’s 1,390 lb cargo capacity, leaving 958 lb (479 lb per rated berth). Across 123 Jay Flight floorplans the water share runs 13% to 47%, and 33 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Jay Flight 32TSBH at 31% and Jay Flight 235MBH at 31%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
