Jayco JayFlight 24FBS - 5 month review
Hi all, In February this year we bought our first travel trailer, a 2013 Jayco JayFlight 24FBS. We’ve been out about 4 times so far, for a total of 10 nights or so. We’ve towed it around 2,000 mile...

okay, I will comment on my Jay Flight a 2011 24RKS.
bought for generally one person use, add in my adult son on occasional trips.
rarely camp without water available, but love the 92 gal fresh tank when I do
find the 32.5 gal Gray tank a challenge as I often have no sewer connections.
have never found the 32 gal Black tank a challenge
I love the nightstands mentioned in other reviews and will be a deal breaker whenever I decide to buy again (8-10 years)
jack knife sofa is horrible for sleeping on (back is poofy cushions and seat is firm, so poofy cushions tend to roll you into groove between two sections)
need to install lights in pass through, but had to in previous TT also.
would like to have drawers vice doors for under dinette storage access. (at 50+ with bad knees, getting stuff from the cabinet can be a challenge)
The only real issue I have had is with the awning, and I brought that on myself. Left manual awning out overnight, thought I had it slanted. Huge rainstorm came up over night, and filled the awning with water. In trying to dump, I unbalanced the thing somehow and managed to bend arm and roller. I was able with help of statepark staff and campground neighbors, to cut off bent part of rail, roll up awning and secure with numerous zip ties & straps so that I could go home and to dealer at my convenience.
Forgot I had a skylight leak over tub. It took me being in bathroom while it was raining to figure out why tub occassionally had dirty water in it. Once I realized where it was coming from, called dealer, took it in, discovered skylight was cracked, Jayco replaced under warranty. dealer removed, cleaned it and parked in shop for several days to ensure all the ceiling was dry before installing new one. If there had been any mold, I would have smelled it as I am very sensitive. Not had any problems since then.
