01 What makes it unique
The Jay Flight 260BH is the 26th-lightest of the 56 MY2027 Jay Flight floorplans this site carries from Jayco’s own 2027 model pages, with 25 plans below it and 30 above. Its 4,750 lbs dry and 6,500 lbs GVWR leave 1,750 lbs of cargo capacity — 27% 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 25% of this plan's 1,750 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.
How the 260BH differs from the other 122 Jay Flight floorplans. Most distinctive first. Sibling pages may cover other model years than this one (2024–2027). How these ranks are worked out.
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 26.9%: shared with the 29RLDS; of 123, 97 smaller and 24 larger, nearest the 140TBW (26.7%) and the 265MWSW (27%).
- Dry tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 10.9%: shared with the 28RLS; of 122, 29 smaller and 91 larger, nearest the 170BH and 175FQW (10.8%) and the 250BH (11%).
- Dry tongue weight, 520 lb: shared with the 200MKSW and 225MLSW; of 122, 31 lighter and 88 heavier, nearest the 178DBS (515 lb) and the 224BH (525 lb).
- Dry weight, 4,750 lb: 38th-lightest of 123, between the 224BHW (4,620 lb) and the 264BH (4,755 lb).
- GVWR, 6,500 lb: shared with the 200MKS, 200MKSW and three others; of 123, 37 lower and 80 higher, nearest the 211MBW (6,300 lb) and the 247RBS (6,750 lb).
- Exterior height, 10 ft 6 in: shared with the 210QB, 235MBHW and three others; of 109, 60 lower and 43 taller, nearest the 211MBW, 240RBS and eleven others (10 ft 5 in) and the 270MKS, 280BHK and four others (10 ft 7 in).
- Sleeping capacity, 8: shared with the 178DBS, 178DBSW and seventeen others; of 110, 59 smaller and 31 larger, nearest the 38BHDS, 402DLFT and 40DLFT (7) and the 264BH, 264BHW and three others (9).
- Cargo capacity, 1,750 lb: 58th-largest of 123, between the 235MBHW (1,740 lb) and the 225MLSW (1,775 lb).
- Length, 29 ft 5 in: shared with the 260BHW, 264BH and 264BHW; of 123, 55 shorter and 64 longer, nearest the 242BHS and 242BHSW (29 ft 4 in) and the 265MWS and 265MWSW (29 ft 10 in).
- Grey tank, 39 gal: shared with the 140TB, 172DB and 48 others; of 118, 27 smaller and 40 larger, nearest the 21QB (33 gal) and the 130RDW, 172DBW and seventeen others (40 gal).
- 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 224BHW (2023–2024 page), the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 260BH is 130 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 400 lb higher, has 270 lb more cargo capacity, has a dry tongue weight 40 lb lighter, is 2 ft 4 in longer, stands 7 in taller and has a fresh tank 32 gal smaller; the two publish the same interior height, grey tank, black tank and sleeping capacity.
Next to the 264BH (2021–2024 page), the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 260BH is 5 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 300 lb higher, has 305 lb more cargo capacity, has a dry tongue weight 40 lb lighter, stands 8 in taller and sleeps one fewer; the two publish the same length, interior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.
Specifications by model year
This floorplan has a published factory record for 4 model years here, 2024 to 2027. The specification does not hold still: dry weight runs from 4,580 lb (2024) to 4,750 lb (2027); dry tongue weight runs from 515 lb (2024) to 540 lb (2026). The published sleeping capacity changes across the years: up to 10 in 2024–2026, 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.
| Model year | Dry (UVW) | GVWR | Cargo (CCC) | Dry tongue | Length | Sleeps | Tire size |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 4,580 | Disputed | 1,420 | 515 | 29' 5" | up to 10 | ST205/75R14'D' |
| 2025 | 4,715 | 6,500 | 1,785 | 515 | 29' 6" | up to 10 | ST205/75R14'D' |
| 2026 | 4,745 | 6,500 | 1,755 | 540 | 29' 5" | up to 10 | ST205/75R14'D' |
| 2027 | 4,750 | 6,500 | 1,750 | 520 | 29' 5" | up to 8 | ST205/75R14'D' |
Every row is that model year’s own record from Jayco’s model page for that year. Jayco’s own 2024 model page prints a GVWR of 6,500 lb for the 260BH, but the unloaded weight (4,580 lb) and cargo capacity (1,420 lb) it prints beside it add to 6,000 lb, 500 lb less; the catalogue cannot tell which figure is wrong, so the 2024 row shows the GVWR as disputed rather than as a rating, and the 2024 record sets out every figure exactly as printed. Jayco titles its 2024, 2025 and 2026 model pages for this floorplan Jay Flight SLX 260BH. The figures in the tow-critical placard at the top of this page are the 2027 record from the source this catalogue originally profiled. On the weights, overall length and tire size, that record and Jayco’s own 2027 model page agree on every field both of them publish. Exterior height is not compared: Jayco publishes a bare height, a with-A/C height and a with-2nd-A/C height, and the single height row carried here cannot be matched to one of them, so no claim is made either way.

What changed for the 2024 model year
2024 is the earliest model year of the 260BH on this site, so there is no earlier record to set it against. Section 01 compares it with 2025.
GVWR for 2024: Jayco’s own figures do not agree
Jayco’s own 2024 model page prints, for the 2024 260BH, an unloaded vehicle weight of 4,580 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 1,420 lb and a GVWR of 6,500 lb. Unloaded weight plus cargo capacity comes to 6,000 lb, which is 500 lb less than that GVWR. Nothing on that page says which of the three is wrong, and this catalogue cannot tell. Under this site’s rule for published figures that do not reconcile, a gap of more than 100 lb means the GVWR is not given here as a usable rating: the GVWR rows for this model year read “Disputed” and no tow check is offered for it. All three figures above are reproduced exactly as Jayco printed them and none has been adjusted. The weight label and VIN placard on the trailer itself state its GVWR and govern, not the model page and not this page — read them, and weigh the loaded trailer, before towing it.
Source for 2024. Specifications reflect the 2024 model year as published by Jayco on its own 2024 model page for this floorplan, which Jayco titles Jay Flight SLX 260BH, and are dry factory figures for a base unit. Options, dealer-installed equipment and cargo all add weight. A travel trailer puts its tongue load on the tow vehicle's hitch and through its rear axle, so the loaded tongue must be checked against the receiver's rating and the vehicle's payload, not against its tow rating. Published-figure conflict, stated not resolved: the GVWR Jayco printed for 2024 does not reconcile with its own dry weight and cargo capacity, by more than 100 lb, so it is not given here as a rating (the GVWR note in section 03 sets out all three printed figures); the trailer’s weight label and VIN placard govern.

03 Jay Flight floorplan family
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.

Layout descriptions are decoded from Jayco's own floorplan-code suffixes (BH bunkhouse, MB Murphy bed, RLS rear living, QB queen bed, TBS two-bedroom slide, and so on). They describe the code, not a measured interior: this site publishes no interior dimensions for this line and therefore no floorplan diagrams.
04 Reading these numbers
Cargo capacity in context
GVWR minus dry weight is 1,750 lbs on this plan, 27% of the loaded rating. Across the 56 MY2027 Jay Flight floorplans this site carries, the same figure runs from 18% to 38%. Dry weight is a base-unit number: options, batteries and a full propane bottle all come out of the cargo figure, not the dry one.
Axle count — aggregator data corrected
Jayco's own factory page for the 260BH lists it as a 2-axle unit, and its mandatory equipment package is the double-axle package. Factory data outranks aggregator data here, so this page publishes 2. The discrepancy is recorded rather than quietly dropped: anyone cross-checking against that aggregator will see one axle and should not trust it on this line.
Eastern and western builds differ
Jayco builds this floorplan at two plants and publishes separate figures for each. The 260BH is 155 lbs lighter dry than the 260BHW (4,750 vs 4,905), and the fresh tank differs too (52 gal vs 84 gal). Neither number is a typo for the other — check which build a given unit is.
What this page does not publish
Every figure on this page is from Jayco’s own 2027 model page for this floorplan, tongue weight, tire size and axle count included. Jayco publishes no room-by-room interior dimensions, which is why this page carries no floorplan diagram.
05 How it compares
4,420 lbs dry against this plan's 4,750, 25' 8" of length, sleeps 6, from $36,531. The nearest lighter floorplan in the MY2027 line.
4,840 lbs dry, 6,500 lbs GVWR, sleeps 2, from $41,243. The nearest heavier floorplan — 90 lbs more trailer than this one.
The same floorplan from Jayco's other plant: 4,905 lbs dry, 6,800 lbs GVWR, 84 gal fresh, from $31,281.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 52-gallon fresh tank is about 432 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 25% of the Jay Flight 260BH’s 1,750 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,318 lb (165 lb per rated berth). Across 123 Jay Flight floorplans the water share runs 13% to 47%, and 76 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Jay Flight 174BH at 25% and Jay Flight 230FBS at 25%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
07 Where this floorplan sits
Closest sibling: the Jay Flight 264BH, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 5 of the 9 fields both publish (this plan first): sleeps 8 vs 9; dry weight 4,750 lb vs 4,755 lb; GVWR 6,500 lb vs 6,200 lb; cargo capacity 1,750 lb vs 1,445 lb; hitch weight 520 lb vs 560 lb. They match on length, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.
