Hello everyone.I am looking to buy a Keystone Sprinter 28BH or a Jayco Jay Flight 27BH. They both basically look about the same, but I was curious which is the better quality for the money. I know that Jayco offers a 2 year warranty where Keystone is the basic 1 year. Is that a huge decision maker?? Not sure! I was wondering if I could receive feedback on which make/model is the "better bang for the buck". Both travel trailers have qualities I like, but I know the Jayco is a little more expensive. The Jayco has the Elite package, but it appears the same in the "Campfire Edition" in the Keystone.Thanks in advance,Jimmy

See what is in the elite package and determine if those add-ons are worth the extra money. I skipped the elite package when we bought our Jayco because the aluminum wheels, off-brand TV and slightly larger fridge were not worth it to me. We have had our Jayco a little over 3 years and I have never had to return to the dealer for an issue. My biggest repair expense so far has been a $15 propane hose.

I love my Jayco 28BHS. I also really like the elite package as we tend to camp for extended periods of time in state parks with nothing but electric hookups. The elite package gives you close to 90 gallons of fresh water storage which is awesome to have. There were also a few other options that I liked with the elite package.

I have the E-pack . I think its worth it. 35F was warm with infrequent furnace cycling. I would NOT travel with 90 gals of water but filling on site for a long stay in nice. If it had wings you could fight a forest fire with it. That's a large twin tank set up that are linked up together with one fill pipe and 2 low point drains to speed things up when emptying before departing a site. I only travel with 10-15 gals. double check the Jayco website for 2017 model options. But this matches what I have for 2016. Elite pack info here from owners.

We had a Jayco Jayflight for two years and about 200 camping nights. We traded it in for a larger Keystone Sprinter in which we spent about 250 camping nights over two years. I regretted trading in the Jayco and was extremely happy getting rid of the Sprinter. The Jayco was better all around but particularly with regard to the interior fit and finishes. They outlasted the Sprinter and showed less wear and tear.One note about the Sprinter. The frame was 'flexible' enough that often we had problems opening and closing the door if we were not in a perfectly level site.
