Jayco's Jay Flight 26BH/27BH and Jay Flight Swift 264BH Triplets are very popular

When ever a TT goes down the road, I take notice since I like camping. Anymore, I've been identifying many of these Jayco triplets out on the road. They are all the same floorplan with just different features and options. I usually see the 26BH/27BH twins the most. In the last 2 days, I've seen 4 on the roads.

They are really easy to identify since they are Jayco's longest travel trailer without a slide, and the window, outside storage door, and main door locations are easy to spot.

When Jayco said this was their #1 selling floorplan, they meant it!

    Mike, thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience with these options. I had not thought about the wardrobe in this particular floor plan. I have been looking at some other floor plans with double over double and the ward is in a different location.

    Question, is your AC ducted on this model? My father in laws is not ducted and it makes the master area a bit stuffy.

    Thanks!

    Yes, the AC is ducted. In 2009, Jayco offered a ducted AC that's thermostatically controlled. My previous 2008 Jay Flight 19BH's AC was not ducted.

  • I didn't want 2 double size bunks.

    For 2 reasons.

    1st: The bottom double size bunk is so closed in, you really need that extra space above not to feel like you're in a coffin. We slept on the bottom double bunk while the son slept on the single bunk above when we had the same floorplan (minus front bedroom) in our previous 19BH. There's no way I'd want a double size bunk above. Kids grow and get bigger. They'll not want to be confined in either. Plus the smaller kids will have a hard time getting to the top bunk if they can't step off of the bottom bunk. Our son, when he was small, needed help just getting into the top single bunk. When he got older and could reach the bottom bunk, he used that.

    2nd: With 2 double size bunks, you will have no dresser/ward. We fill that dresser/ward up with the kids clothes and stuff. I can't image where you'd put their stuff, if there was no dresser/ward. We use the double size under bed storage for hoses, chocks, blocks, tire jack, extention cords, grills/stove, and games. You need a dresser especially if you have 2 double size bunks. Makes no sense not to have it. I'm thinking this is why they never offered a top double bunk as an option until other makers did.

    Now don't get me wrong, I'm sure there some that would like the 2 double size bunks, but not me.

    In fact in previous years, Jayco offered a 2 single bunk option with a floor to ceiling dresser/ward. It was an option on my 19BH in 2008 and the 26BH.
  • I have the double over double in mine. The kids really like that. Almost a waist of space with the small bunk up top.
  • Very nice floor plan. My father in law has a similar floor plan except the queen bed is east and west, I much prefer the north and south layout like yours. Very nice!

    Do any of you have a double bed over double bed bunk orientation?

    Thanks!

  • I have a 2012 278bh and love it. It is my second one. Had a 2008 before. Love the fact that there are no slides.
  • What are you talking about??? Our 27BH doesn't look anything like your 26BH!!! :C
