Looking Rear Living under 10,000 GVWR....any suggestions?

The 28.5 RLS Jayco, in a JayFlight, Eagle Superlite or Eagle (depends on model year). Would seem to fit what you’re looking for. We had a 07 JayFlight and liked the floorplan. In fact the Mountaineer 285RLD that we now have is quite similar, but with a bedroom slideout.

I have to suggest checking out Horizon RV in LaGrange. It is not a mega dealer, but the owner is honest and sells his RVs at good prices.We bought our Sabre from him in 2007. He didn't carry the Columbus line at the time we bought ours, or we would have gone to him. The owner's name is Jesse Harrison. Here's their website:

Good luck with your decision.

Horizon RV does not carry anything in size/wt that I need. After I get over this surgery I plan to meet with him about possible ordering a FW.

Jayco's HT line are all under 10,000 pounds. We have the 26.5 RLS with two swivel rockers in the rear. No island kitchen but plenty of room. Ours came from the factory with a sticker saying that the "dry" weight is 7,272 pounds leaving about 2,600 of cargo capacity. Even with me in the FW, we don't approach that weight. Take a look on-line and then try RV Direct to see pricing. When we priced ours with RV Direct, the price with most options was $24,121, probably has gone up a bit in the last year and one-half, but might still be close to $25,000.


This model is 1 I really like.

If you are interested in a Jayco and live in Eastern NC, their website might direct you to Camptown RV in Clayton & Swansboro. This is one dealer I can suggest not buying from. We would be towing a Jayco 5th wheel right now if it wasn't for their terrible service and parts department. As for their sales staff, they will tell you whatever you want to hear, just to sell you an RV. i.e. I was looking at Jayco's high line 5th wheel with a GVWR of 16,000# and a hitch weight of 2700#. Their salesman assured me that my 2500 RAM could handle it and the truck's towing specs are not true.
Anyway, Jayco makes a nice trailer, but be careful where you buy it.

Yes, contacted them. Even talked with the owner. He did not return my calls or emails.

Use RVT.com and look for what you want. If the listing does not show the weight then contact the seller and ask. You wont find anybody on this forum trying to sell an RV.:S

A close cousin to the Flagstaff, the Rockwood 8289WS with diamond package. Will be outside of your desired budget with the diamond package but pretty close without it. Nice rig.
