Jay Flight vs. Jay Flight Swift

[CampingN_C_]

I'm looking at the Jay Flight 28BHBE and the Jay Flight Swift 267BHS. Both are the same floor plan. The differences are mostly just bells and whistles, and the Swift that the dealer has was ordered with quite a few options. Oh and one is two feet longer.
Here's my question.
One big difference is the Swift has NO ducting in the floor for the heater. I am told that the AC and the heat comes from the over head vents. Is that a big deal?
So, does that mean the roof unit supplies heat as well or what?
I haven't looked at either yet, both are at different dealerships an hour away. Just doing my homework before I hit the road.

My Jayflight has heat ducts coming out of the floor, a/c comes out of the roof, there is a few things that I really like about the jayflight, one is the shower doors but my wife says it's a real treat to clean the tracks that the door slides in, curtains for the bunks, windows on the side of the slide that let in alot more light, different light fixtures over the couch and above the bed, slide and awning switches are behind a panel, there is a sky light in the bathroom and from what I can see the list price is the same on both units

You're right about the weights being different. There is also a difference in length by 2 ft. That could affect those numbers.
So does anyone have a camper that runs the heat out of the same vents as the AC?
What's the difference? Is the heat not from a gas furnace?

There are two major differences IMHO between Jay Flight and Jay Swift are more than cosmetic and and HVAC ducting.

The Jay Flight is built stronger with larger axles. Just check out the Dry weights between the two. The Jay flight is nearly 600 lbs more. Now look at the GVWR... The swift is 8000 lbs, the Flight is 9250 lbs. the CCC for the flight is 655 lbs more than the Swift. Now look at the fresh water capacity. The Flight is 86 gallons while the swift is 44 gallons. If you dry camp, the flight is the way to go.

With the swift you may get a smaller frame, smaller axles, and less amenities...for only a few dollars less. With the flight you get a heavier axle, possibly a heavier frame, and an overall nicer trailer. Ducted heat and air is very very nice!!

IMHO... The Flight is the way to go... And it's not really even close.

Thanks,

Jeremiah
