Jayco Hummingbird

Anyone have one ? Feedback ?

The 17FD (front dinette) looks interesting. DW and I need separate beds.

I would like a hybrid, but I need something with GVW loaded under 4,000 lbs.
  • What I don't like about the Jaycos is the mid-bath layout. You have to walk in and then go through a cramped area between the galley and bath. Also there is no sink in the bathroom, and tank space is pretty small.

    I am interested in the Venture RV Sonic 168VRB. The 80" sofa would make a decent bed if one used a foam topper. Much better than the short space offered by a converted dinette. The bath is a decent size with sink, the fridge is a good size, and tank capacity is respectable.

    There's not one of these close to me to look at, but I'm going to check one out before long.
  • To Coolmom's point, we had a 17 ft hybrid with a wet bath like the 17FD. We hated it. Too small. We stopped using the shower midway through the first season with it and used public showers. Our X20E has a bathroom more like the one in the link above and we love it.

    I like the floor plan of the X20E, but it is discontinued.

    It would be a bit heavy loaded for my tow vehicle.
