2005 Jayco JayFeather 19H owner here, and mine is luan foam luan glued together with not much support at all. Love my travel trailer though and will fix it. It has lasted for years and was built better than the brand new 2021 crossroads zinger 330BH that I bought in August of 2020! It's been nothing but a nightmare. the floor is already rotting in the half bath, and I believe it is a gray or black line leak in the wall going to the underbelly as it is next to the outside kitchen and the sink has never drained! I can't get a snake through it either.

2005 Jayco Jayfeather 19H hybrid and it has sandwich floors and roof! Not much there at all. Floor issues are frequent, but if you keep the water out they are amazing! My Floors were fine then the next spring they were falling through at the dinette. Faulty seals on outside storage, water heater, and leaking connections inside the wall at city port and outside shower. Have totally redone my roof with Henry's Tropicool and am in the process of repairing the floor. I have decided to go back with a thicker plywood sheeting that I have primed heavily with kilz. I plan to add some metal banding for extra support. I am looking into extending my connections outside the inside wall in the hidden area under the bench, and opening up a square section so I can see any future leaking or issues. Going back with carpet and a transition piece that will split the kitchen from the living room area. I think we are going to completely redo the floor after this season though, so I'm planning to glue lightly.

pretty sure it has the luan floor like all current hybrids, even Jayco.
it does probably have plywood under the frame.

To be fair, I think a lot of manufacturers do the same thing, for example, my 2005 Starcraft is the same way. They cut overly large holes for all pipes and wires and didn't use anything to keep "stuff" out.
