As a passionate RV enthusiast and a lover of all things travel, I am constantly on the lookout for products that push the envelope of comfort and convenience. Recently, I came across the 2023 Model of the Jay Feather Travel Trailer 22BH by Jayco. Right off the bat, I was struck by the level of quality and attention to detail evident in this travel trailer. It's not every day you come across a gem with such a unique blend of style, innovation, and robust construction.
Exterior Design
The Jay Feather Travel Trailer combines style and functionality with its aerodynamic, rounded front profile. Beyond aesthetics, it's also reinforced with diamond plate making it durable for varying travel conditions. Additionally, the modern retro graphics package with two-colored sidewall captured my attention with its unique design and vibrant colors. I was particularly impressed with the attention to safety backed by the G20 tinted safety-glass windows and impact-resistant wheel wells. The well thought out outside camp kitchen and SolidStep fold-down aluminum tread entry steps are a few thoughtful details that elevate the overall RV experience.

Stepping inside the Jay Feather 22BH instantly transported me to a cozy living space equipped with all the comforts of a modern home. The smartly chosen interior design packages - Modern Farmhouse and Vintage Washed Grey gave a refreshing feel to the vehicle.

Holding a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 7,500 lbs and Unloaded Vehicle Weight (UVW) of 5,565 lbs, yet efficient enough to tread different terrains without a hitch. Commendable is the integration of Azdel laminated interior and exterior walls, thereby ensuring a strong and sustainable build.
