I have been researching new trailers for the past 18 months. I have been to multiple RV shows and looked at every trailer that has the features that meet my needs. Time and again I come back to the Jayco.
The JayFlight has better features than other manufacturers. Even stupid things like LED lighting. I'm afraid of my 2 year old daughter leaving a halogen light on in her bunk and burning herself in the middle of the night. Jayco's come standard with LEDs. I'm afraid of my daughter jumping on her bunk and possibly damaging the bunk. Jayco's bunks are rated at 300 lbs each. There is no way she creates enough force by jumping to damage the Jayco bunks.
The fit and finish on Jayco felt much better too. All the Keystone and Forest River products felt less stable to me. The steps flex when I step on them. The floor doesn't feel as solid. The bed feels less stable. The finish details are sloppy. The AC ducts are poorly placed. The shower walls are cheaper. Cabinets are stapled together.
The Jayco just felt like a better overall product to me.
We looked long and hard at the 28BHBE, but ruled it out due to the shorter queen bed (I'm 6-04). The JayFlight has the benefit of lower tongue weight, which will be a concern with a CrewMax Tundra. If you like the build of Jayco and the floorplan of the 28BHBE you might want to consider the Whitehawk 28DSBH. Same floorplan in the "lightweight" version.

After walking into a LOT of different trailers, the Jayco always feels more solid and well put together.
