Jayco Jay Flight · 2018–201929BHDB

The Jay Flight 29BHDB 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 2019 29BHDB, 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.

For the 2019 model year Jayco published a 9,250-pound GVWR on a 6,930-pound dry weight, 2,320 pounds of published cargo capacity, a 832-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.

Against the 2018 build of the same floorplan, 8 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 2019 trailer is 7 model years old as of 2026, which puts it squarely in used-buyer territory. Section 05 sets out what to inspect on a travel trailer of this age — tyre date codes, roof and seam sealant, slide seals, and the soft-floor and delamination checks that separate a tidy coach from an expensive one.

How the 29BHDB differs from the other 117 Jay Flight floorplans. Most distinctive first. Each rank counts only the siblings that publish that field, and a figure most of them share is left out. Not every one of these pages covers the same model years as this one (2018–2019); each figure is the one its own page prints, so a rank compares pages, not one model year.

• Cargo capacity, 2,320 lb: sixteenth-largest of 118, between the 28RLS (2,315 lb) and the 32TSBH (2,325 lb).
• Fresh tank, 82 gal: shared with the 24RBS, 28BHBE and two others; of 118, 98 smaller and fifteen larger, nearest the 29RLDS, 31QBDS and four others (80 gal) and the 210QBW, 211MBW and seven others (84 gal).
• Dry weight, 6,930 lb: 29th-heaviest of 118, between the 335BHS (6,925 lb) and the 295TBS (7,180 lb).
• Length, 34 ft 2 in: 34th-longest of 118, between the 280BHS (34 ft 1 in) and the 295BHS and 295BHSW (34 ft 4 in).
• GVWR, 9,250 lb: shared with the 28BHBE and 29RLDS; of 118, 86 lower and 29 higher, nearest the 335BHS (9,000 lb) and the 295TBS and 330TBS (9,300 lb).

• Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 25.1%: shared with the 265MWS; of 118, 78 smaller and 38 larger, nearest the 242BHSW (24.8%) and the 154BH and 24RBS (25.3%).
• Dry tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 12%: shared with the 29RLDS and 334RTS; of 117, 57 smaller and 57 larger, nearest the 21QB, 240RBS and three others (11.9%) and the 140TBW, 224BHW and 330TBS (12.1%).

Next to the 335BHS (2027 page), the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 29BHDB is 5 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 250 lb higher, has 245 lb more cargo capacity, has a dry tongue weight 143 lb lighter, is 3 ft 5 in shorter and has a fresh tank 30 gal larger; the two publish the same interior height.

Next to the 295TBS (2026–2027 page), the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 29BHDB is 250 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 50 lb lower, has 200 lb more cargo capacity, has a dry tongue weight 8 lb lighter, is 2 ft 8 in shorter and has a fresh tank 30 gal larger; the two publish the same interior height.

This floorplan has a published factory record for 2 model years here, 2018 to 2019. The specification does not hold still: dry weight runs from 6,800 lb (2018) to 6,930 lb (2019); dry tongue weight runs from 780 lb (2018) to 832 lb (2019). The published sleeping capacity changes across the years: 8-10 in 2018, 8 - 10 in 2019. 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 8 of the published fields between the 2018 and 2019 29BHDB. Every figure in both columns is that model year's own factory record — nothing here is carried across from the other year.

A full 82-gallon fresh tank is about 684 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 29% of the 29BHDB’s 2,320 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,636 lb (164 lb per rated berth). Across 118 Jay Flight floorplans the water share runs 13% to 47%, and 42 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Jay Flight 280BHK at 29% and Jay Flight 28RLS at 30%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).

Closest sibling: the Jay Flight 330TBS, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 6 of the 9 fields both publish (this plan first): length 34 ft 2 in vs 37 ft 7 in; dry weight 6,930 lb vs 7,280 lb; GVWR 9,250 lb vs 9,300 lb; cargo capacity 2,320 lb vs 2,020 lb; hitch weight 832 lb vs 880 lb; fresh tank 82 gal vs 52 gal. They match on sleeps, grey tank and black tank.

Either side of it by GVWR: Jay Flight 28BHBE matches it at 9,250 lb GVWR; Jay Flight 29RLDS matches it at 9,250 lb GVWR.

Against the 29BHDB: the Delta 294RK sleeps 6 fewer; the Puma 310RK is 13 lb heavier and 1 ft longer and sleeps 6 fewer; the Coachmen Catalina 293QBCK is 14 lb heavier and sleeps 4 fewer.

11 of the 18 fields this catalogue tracks are published for the 29BHDB. Not published: exterior height, slide count, axle count, tire specification, awning, refrigerator, air conditioning.

Values marked with an asterisk are arithmetic on published figures or come from a single source; the flag travels into the downloadable spec sheet.
