Jayco · 2023–2027Jay Flight 380DQS

The Jay Flight 380DQS is the 54th-lightest of the 56 MY2027 Jay Flight floorplans this site carries from Jayco’s own 2027 model pages, with 53 plans below it and 2 above. Its 8,430 lbs dry and 10,500 lbs GVWR leave 2,070 lbs of cargo capacity — 20% 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 21% of this plan's 2,070 lbs of cargo capacity before a single bag goes in. Grey and black hold 78 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, as Jayco's own factory page for this floorplan reports.

This floorplan has a published factory record for 4 model years here, 2023 to 2027. The specification does not hold still: GVWR runs from 9,850 lb (2023) to 10,500 lb (2027); dry weight runs from 8,135 lb (2023) to 8,485 lb (2026); dry tongue weight runs from 995 lb (2023) to 1,070 lb (2027). The published sleeping capacity changes across the years: up to 5 in 2023, up to 8 in 2024–2027. 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 571.120 S10.4.2), 21% of the Jay Flight 380DQS’s 2,070 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,638 lb (205 lb per rated berth). Across 123 Jay Flight floorplans the water share runs 13% to 47%, and 107 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Jay Flight 335BHS at 21% and Jay Flight 40DLFT at 21%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).
