Picked up our 2017 Jayflight SLX 212QBW on Saturday, and on the way home (3 1/2 hour drive to our dealer), stopped for the night at one of our Provincial Parks that stays open after Oct 31st. Plus, the weather here in Ontario was around 65 degrees. We traded in our 195RB Jayflight SLX, not that we did not like it, but the things we wanted were in the next size up. When you go from the 195 to the 212, you gain not only length, but an extra 12" width, plus 8" of interior height. It was nice to be able to use it for the one night before putting it away. Gave us the chance to check things over, see the added bonus' etc. When you step up to the 8' wide models, you get more than the 7'. .... almost to the point where you question why everyone thinks the SLX has many down falls compared to the regular Jayflights. Ya, i'm sure the Jayflight has a few more cabinets, a bigger fridge .... but i'm telling you, this is my 5th jayflight ... and this one is as good as the others i have owned. The 195 and lower ride on a pop-up platform, because they are light weight and they can, the 212 and above are on the same I beam frame as its brother. The roof is plywood, not particle board, and is the true domed roof. No , it does not have led liht strips under the awning, but oh well .... what it does have, and this is a first for me and my many Jayco's, it has a light for the step! The wife was thrilled. Another plus on this model, the window at the rear of the trailer opens.... talk about ventilation. Many trailers i see have the solid rear window, this one slides. Just can't wait to get to open it up and enjoy the great outdoors ..... next spring:)
