Differences in Jayco model lines
What are the main differences in the Jayflight, Whitehawk, and Jayflight SLX travel trailers? Does each line offer something unique that the others don't?
Forum Discussion
- The 2015 vs 2016 MIGHT be different, not 100% sure.
I think the WHawk has 14" wheels while the Jfight uses 15" as well as an 8 cu ft fridge.
Jflight packages incl. I also think the Jlight uses heavier axles plus the MOR RYDE suspension option as part of the Elite package.
The SLX comes in 2 widths and does not offer the options that the Jay Flight offers.
Personally, I opted for alum skin rather than filon . Too many delamination issues in my past where the entire side had to be replaced using special EQ. opposed to small alum section replacement which anyone can do with simple tools. If that matters to you, then choose a model that offers alum skin as an optional siding. You will save considerable weight as well.
Elite pack ....as far as I know is a Jay Flight option.
Elite Package
Black Tank Flush, Digital Touch Screen Remote, 80 Gallon Capacity Fresh Water Tanks (2), Hardwood Drawer Fronts Throughout, Kitchen Sink Covers, Large Entry Door Grab Handle, Porcelain Toilet, Raised Panel Cabinets in Kitchen and Living Room, Refrigerator Insert (N/A in 38BHDS & 38FDDS), Roof Ladder, Skylight w/ Shade in Kitchen, Upgrade Faucet w/ Pull-Out Sprayer, Mor/Ryde CRE 3000 Suspension

http://www.jaycoowners.com/forums/f7/white-hawk-vs-jay-flight-19130.html - Whitehawk is made of lighter weight laminates. Jayflights are more old school, made with wood framing and fiberglass batting, and aluminum skin (optional fiberglass), all on a sturdier I frame. They are heavier but can support more weight, have a bumper hitch option, and larger holding tanks too. The SLX is a smaller, entry level version of the Jayflight.
