There are two major differences IMHO between Jay Flight and Jay Swift are more than cosmetic and and HVAC ducting.
The Jay Flight is built stronger with larger axles. Just check out the Dry weights between the two. The Jay flight is nearly 600 lbs more. Now look at the GVWR... The swift is 8000 lbs, the Flight is 9250 lbs. the CCC for the flight is 655 lbs more than the Swift. Now look at the fresh water capacity. The Flight is 86 gallons while the swift is 44 gallons. If you dry camp, the flight is the way to go.
With the swift you may get a smaller frame, smaller axles, and less amenities...for only a few dollars less. With the flight you get a heavier axle, possibly a heavier frame, and an overall nicer trailer. Ducted heat and air is very very nice!!
IMHO... The Flight is the way to go... And it's not really even close.
Thanks,
Jeremiah
