Jayco · 2026–2027Jay Flight 245BHS

The Jay Flight 245BHS is the 36th-lightest of the 56 MY2027 Jay Flight floorplans this site carries from Jayco’s own 2027 model pages, with 35 plans below it and 20 above. Its 5,555 lbs dry and 7,200 lbs GVWR leave 1,645 lbs of cargo capacity — 23% of the loaded rating, which is the figure that actually decides what you can put in it.

Fresh water is the load most owners forget to count. The 52 gallon fresh tank weighs about 432 lbs full, which is 26% of this plan's 1,645 lbs of cargo capacity before a single bag goes in. Grey and black hold 39 and 39 gallons. Travelling with full fresh and empty waste tanks is the arrangement that leaves the most room for everything else.

It runs two axles. Jayco's own factory page for this floorplan settles that; the aggregator spec block reports one axle for it, which the factory contradicts. Where the two disagree the factory governs, and the discrepancy is set out in section 02.

This floorplan has a published factory record for 2 model years here, 2026 to 2027. The specification does not hold still: GVWR runs from 7,000 lb (2026) to 7,200 lb (2027); dry weight runs from 5,460 lb (2026) to 5,555 lb (2027); dry tongue weight runs from 635 lb (2026) to 640 lb (2027). The published sleeping capacity changes across the years: up to 6 in 2026, up to 8 in 2027. 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.

All 56 MY2027 Jay Flight floorplans this site carries, ordered lightest to heaviest by published dry weight. Jayco markets 2027 as the line's 25th-anniversary year. Floorplans whose code ends in W are built at Jayco's western plant and carry their own published figures — they are not duplicates of the eastern build.

A full 52-gallon fresh tank is about 432 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 26% of the Jay Flight 245BHS’s 1,645 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,213 lb (152 lb per rated berth). Across 123 Jay Flight floorplans the water share runs 13% to 47%, and 62 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Jay Flight 130RD at 26% and Jay Flight 401FLTS at 26%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
