FYI on this post, beyond what some might think, the SLX is not a bad choice for the price concience consumer. Yes, they have to cut some corners to keep weight/price down. Now, if you read the brochure, you will find that the 212 and larger models ride on the same I beam frame as the Jayflight, same 5/8" plywood on the floor, same Magnum Truss Roof System same branded appliances, same cabinetry, same 2 year warranty .... what they lack is the flash and flare of the Jayflight. Yes, they do replace cabinets with shelves in some areas, but at the end of the day, it does the job, and quite well. Now, as for price, not sure how it is in the US, but up here in Canada, there is quite a huge difference in pricing between the two. This summer at the Provincial Park we were at, Jayco was well represented, as it is a very popular brand here, and many of those Jaycos were Jayflight SLX's. To anyone who is interested in a SLX, i have owned both, i would highly recommend either line ... buy what you can afford. BTW, as for the 195RB and down, only 7' wide, yes rides on the smaller frame, still has the quality brand appliances as their bigger brothers,just in an affordable package!
