Jayco Eagle 298rls

$40800 is list....$28326 is out door price (but I would pay tax in my home state). Includes a couple of vent covers & TV mount (no TV in bedroom).

The dealer would consign my current TT at no cost to me.

What is the good or bad with this unit. Sleeping I would need to sleep 6 sometimes. Air bed & u-shaped table. I guess the hassle in setting up the beds each day & night is the question.

Love the rear recliners & bigger bathroom.

Ok what y'all think?

No Jayco dealers that I want to deal with near me.

    How OFTEN would you need to sleep six? You're right, tearing down the dinette to make an extra sleeping spot is kind of a pain. When our kids camped with us we had a double bunk model because my wife and I wanted to be able to get up and make coffee, talk and read even before the kids got up. Now that the kids are grown we went to a different floorplan that more accommodates just the two of us. You're right, the recliners are nice. You just need to figure out if you're in a stage of life yet where you can really enjoy that option or if that floor space would be better suited to another function. Good luck with your decision. :-)


    Most of the time it is just the 4 of us (kids are 13 & 16). Daughter is oldest but I thinkshe will Rv right on thru hs & college.

    Yes there is but it has to be a wall mount TV.

  • We have a 2009 and love it, it is the perfect unit for my wife and I. It can be a pain when our daughter stays with us and wants to stay inside because of the weather instead of the tent but overall we are completely satisfied with it.
