How many kids do you have? We had a Jayco 26BH, no slide and I have 3 kids. We outgrew it very quickly. It was a great trailer, well built. If I had gone with a 28BHS or something a little bigger I would have kept it (we were limited by our Yukon XL at the time too). I don't know about Jayco lightweights, but our Jayflight was solid.
We bought a Sprinter last year (a Keystone product). We really like it, but the build quality is a little less than the Jayco. We've had some minor issues and some of the fit/finish isn't what I would like. However, the more I talk to people and see units, all RV's have some issues and there are a variety of trade offs between quality/finish/price/size/weight and a few other things.
Buy from a reputable dealer. There's probably a reason why some of the RV's are less expensive than others, and there are reasons why some are really popular.
