01 What makes it unique

The Jay Flight 262RLSW is the 43rd-lightest of the 56 MY2027 Jay Flight floorplans this site carries from Jayco’s own 2027 model pages, with 42 plans below it and 13 above. Its 6,290 lbs dry and 8,100 lbs GVWR leave 1,810 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 35% of this plan's 1,810 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, as Jayco's own factory page for this floorplan reports.

How the 262RLSW 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.

  • Black tank, 40 gal: shared with the 130BHW, 140TBW and seventeen others; of 121, 100 smaller and one larger, nearest the 130BH, 130RD and 79 others (39 gal) and the 330TBS (78 gal).
  • Exterior height, 11 ft 2 in: shared with the 200MKS, 290RLS and four others; of 109, 86 lower and sixteen taller, nearest the 261BHS (11 ft 1 in) and the 295TBS, 330TBS and 333BTS (11 ft 3 in).
  • Dry tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 13.4%: shared with the 267BHSW, 285BHS and 40LOFT; of 122, 94 smaller and 24 larger, nearest the 38FDDS (13.3%) and the 324BDS and 34RLOK (13.5%).

  • Fresh tank, 76 gal: shared with the 200MKSW, 225MLSW and twelve others; of 123, 82 smaller and 26 larger, nearest the 40FKDS (53 gal) and the 29RLDS, 31QBDS and four others (80 gal).
  • Dry weight, 6,290 lb: 49th-heaviest of 123, between the 263BHSW (6,250 lb) and the 265RLS and 280BHSW (6,310 lb).
  • GVWR, 8,100 lb: 50th-highest of 123, between the 236THW (8,000 lb) and the 280RKS, 285BHS and 295BHSW (8,150 lb).

  • Length, 31 ft 1 in: shared with the 262RLS, 265RLS and 265RLSW; of 123, 69 shorter and 50 longer, nearest the 274BH (30 ft 7 in) and the 270BHS and 270BHSW (31 ft 10 in).
  • Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 22.3%: shared with the 178DBS and 267BHSW; of 123, 53 smaller and 67 larger, nearest the 245BHSW, 295BHSW and 34RSBS (22%) and the 240RBSW (22.5%).
  • Sleeping capacity, 6: shared with the 170BH, 172DB and sixteen others; of 110, 37 smaller and 54 larger, nearest the 174BH, 212QB and four others (5) and the 38BHDS, 402DLFT and 40DLFT (7).

Next to the 263BHSW (2025–2027 page), the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 262RLSW is 40 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 100 lb lower, has 140 lb less cargo capacity, has a dry tongue weight 70 lb heavier, is 1 ft 5 in shorter, stands 6 in taller, has 1 ft 3 in less interior height, has a grey tank 40 gal smaller and sleeps four fewer; the two publish the same fresh 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: GVWR runs from 7,600 lb (2025) to 8,100 lb (2027); dry weight runs from 6,035 lb (2025) to 6,290 lb (2027); dry tongue weight runs from 760 lb (2025) to 840 lb (2027). The published tire size changes over the run (ST225/75R15'E', then ST225/75R14'E'). 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.

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 7,500 lb for the 262RLSW, but the unloaded weight (6,044 lb) and cargo capacity (1,156 lb) it prints beside it add to 7,200 lb, 300 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 262RLSW. 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.

Federal tire recalls naming this size. NHTSA’s recall file names ST225/75R15 in 2 tire recalls: 14T015000 (Dynamic Tire Corp., 2014; make TOWMAX STR; model ST); 17T014000 (Triangle Tire USA, 2017; make TRIANGLE; model TR643). A tire recall covers only the brands, lines and DOT date codes it lists, and this page does not know which brand of tire this trailer was built with, so read the brand and DOT code on your own sidewalls before relying on this list. Only 242 of NHTSA’s 788 tire recalls name a size in their summary, so a size with no match is not a clean record (NHTSA recall file, read 12 Oct 2026).

What changed for the 2024 model year

2024 is the earliest model year of the 262RLSW 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 262RLSW, an unloaded vehicle weight of 6,044 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 1,156 lb and a GVWR of 7,500 lb. Unloaded weight plus cargo capacity comes to 7,200 lb, which is 300 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 262RLSW, 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.

Published dry tongue weight840 lb
Loaded tongue weight, rule of thumb840–1,215 lb
Receiver hitch rating needed8,100 lb towed / 1,215 lb tongue
Payload check. Budget loaded, not dry: subtract the loaded range, every passenger, the bed and cab load and a weight-distributing hitch from the payload on your tow vehicle’s door-pillar placard (49 CFR 571.110 S4.3).

Check your vehicle. Enter the ratings from your owner’s manual and the door-pillar placard.

Compares your figures with this page’s published GVWR (8,100 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,215 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern.

Loaded range: 10–15% of GVWR on the tongue, a rule of thumb, not a measurement of this unit. No truck ratings or hitch classes (why; NHTSA, DOT HS 809 433). The range starts at the published dry figure, because loaded is never lighter than dry.

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 1,810 lbs on this plan, 22% 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.

Eastern and western builds differ

Jayco builds this floorplan at two plants and publishes separate figures for each. The 262RLSW is 85 lbs heavier dry than the 262RLS (6,290 vs 6,205), and the fresh tank differs too (76 gal vs 52 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.

Sources: Jayco’s own same-year floorplan pages, against which the weights, tanks, sleeping capacity, tire size, length and height were checked on 2 Nov 2026 where one is on file; Jayco’s product copy for the fresh-tank and axle rule.

05 How it compares

06 Loading it for a trip

A full 76-gallon fresh tank is about 631 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 35% of the Jay Flight 262RLSW’s 1,810 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,179 lb (197 lb per rated berth). Across 123 Jay Flight floorplans the water share runs 13% to 47%, and 21 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Jay Flight 261BHSW at 34% and Jay Flight 242BHSW at 35%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
