Jayco · 2026–2027Jay Flight 245BHSW

The Jay Flight 245BHSW is the 35th-lightest of the 56 MY2027 Jay Flight floorplans this site carries from Jayco’s own 2027 model pages, with 34 plans below it and 21 above. Its 5,460 lbs dry and 7,000 lbs GVWR leave 1,540 lbs of cargo capacity — 22% 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 76 gallon fresh tank weighs about 631 lbs full, which is 41% of this plan's 1,540 lbs of cargo capacity before a single bag goes in. Grey and black hold 40 and 40 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: dry weight runs from 5,380 lb (2026) to 5,460 lb (2027); dry tongue weight runs from 625 lb (2026) to 630 lb (2027). The published sleeping capacity changes across the years: up to 8 in 2026, up to 6 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 76-gallon fresh tank is about 631 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 41% of the Jay Flight 245BHSW’s 1,540 lb cargo capacity, leaving 909 lb (152 lb per rated berth). Across 123 Jay Flight floorplans the water share runs 13% to 47%, and 4 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Jay Flight 210QBW at 39% and Jay Flight 264BHW at 42%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
