Hi my family is new to rving if anyone has or has experience with a 2013 Jayco Jay flight 28bhs let me know what you think. This will be our first RV and almost put money down on it, but still am a little hesitant. thanks

I am not sure about the 28BHS. I have had 2 jaycos 2009 and a 2011 TT the quality is hard to beat and service is excellent. I wouldn't buy another brand. Plus they have a 2 year warranty, I don't know of any other brand doing that.

How many in your family? What type of camping will you be doing, full hook up sites or boondocking? How often will you go out and for how long? We have 4 children so we needed a model with slides as well a bunkhouse. We go to full hook up sites so we wanted the biggest ac available. Sometimes we camp several times a month so we wanted lots of inside storage.

We have 3 small kids and 2 adults. We will mostly do every other weekend camping and a few 1 week trips. Full hook up is probably best. the model we are looking at has double over double bunks and a small slide. We also want to take it on a long haul trip in a couple of years.

We have a JAyco 31BHDS with two kids under 8. Love it and it's been a great family experience.

I had the 2012 Jayco 28BHS for 2 years. I loved it. I only traded it in because I got a great deal on a bigger trailer. Mine had the slide for couch area. Easy to pull and move around. I loved it.Cacoon

Going to upgrade the truck in a couple of years to a crewcab then take it on a long trip, but we all fit for now.

Nice trailer. If the kids are small you are OK with that 1/2 ton club cab, but if they need more leg room better start thinking about a Super Crew or full size crew cab. All the best with your new purchase, it truly is an investment in your family if you use it often. Hans

Here's a bigger pic. You can see the small slide. It does make some difference for space inside but not like big slides.

I have been thinking about the 28bhs for a few years. Most liked: 80 gallon fw tank, ride height, large kitchen, and 7500 gw.

Congrats on your new JayFlight! I have the "childless couple" Jayflight model (no bunks) but we really like our trailer. We've been in it 7 nights so far on 3 trips (bought in March). I've been pleased by the lack of major issues in build quality so far. Seems sturdy and when I poke my head around inside cabinets and under things like the couch it seems pretty well finished. Only issues we've had we're a leaking fitting on the bath sink which I tightened by hand to fix, and a finicky furnace that the dealer had to replace the igniter on which seems like an Attwood issue, not a Jayco one. Other than that everything works and fits well. We love our floorplan and the nice features that come on the Jayflight line.

Ok, question for you 28BH owners. How does the small slide compare to say a super slide? Why did you choose the shallow slide of the 28BH over, say the super slide version? I am just wondering, no stone throwing, etc. Are the Couch slides more stable since they are smaller? Do they really open up the room on the inside? Thanks!

We picked the platinum interior, but they were all very similar in style.

Congrats on the new 28BHS.

The 26B's sofa isn't really all that close to the counter. Closer than my previous 19BH but not that bad. I'm a big guy and I fit on the end by the kitchen counter. Besides, the kids will be sitting in the corner anyhow and that's way more than enough for them.

Glad you got the floorplan you like.

So what interior did you get. We got my favorite, the hazelnut which is like the previous Wheat interior I had on my 19BH. It is leaves and dark browns.

As you said, the 28BHS wasn't that much more. Something like $2500 - $3000 more than our 26BH.
