Quote..."Thanks, we're definitely looking for torsion, vs leaf spring suspension, which unfortunately seems to be somewhat rare. I looked at Jayco earlier, but aren't they using wood extensively for exterior walls, roof framing, and flooring?..."
J-0621 was referring to the Jayco JayFeather. My JayFeather has an aluminum upper structure frame, not wood. Of course, mine is a 2006 model, so they could have changed but I doubt it.
I like my JayFeather. It's relatively light at 6000 pounds GVWR for a 27 footer. The tortion axles help make it handle like an Airstream, and it's actually lighter than similar sized Airstreams by several hundred pounds. Unfortunately, Airstreams haven't the trim weight they had in the earlier years.
