We bought a 2014 WhiteHawk and have had it for just over two weeks now. We actually had a deal on a 2013 on the lot but then someone here mentioned they just ordered a 2014 so of course I had to look into that. ;)
We factory ordered ours through the local dealer, who at the time, didn't know the 2014s were being released. Dh and I are thrilled with the upgrades they made. The WhiteHawk wasn't our top choice of TT but it was our favorite of those our TV could actually tow. :)
I'm glad we waited the extra few weeks for the 2014 to come- we got it mid June in stead of late May.
The only downside I have encountered and I really wish we had been smarter about this is the dry weight of our 2014 is quite a lot higher than the listed dry weight of the 2013 on the jayco websites and brochures. The yellow sticker indicates a 700lb increase over the 2013 brochure specs. Since weights were an issue for us I'm disappointed we didn't notice or think to ask about that before buying the 2014. In the end I don't think we would have kept the 2013 but now we need to pack lighter! (The GVWR for the TT didn't change, just the cargo capacity). I don't know if this is true for all models- ours is the 31DSLB
On the bright side, however, we paid less for the 2014 and have more upgrades- the TV was included in the purchase,, the 15K a/c, the glacier package and a few other options I can't quite recall. - all for less than the price we agreed to pay for the 2013. And straihht from the factory so it didn't have 500 families walk in and out of it. Woohoo!!
