2026 JAYCO JAY FEATHER 17BHSL AIR

Jayco Jay Feather Air SL 17BHSL, VIN 1UJBB0AJ1T1MA0203, is a 2026 ultralight bunkhouse that delivers real Jayco build quality in a compact, easy-tow package. The window sticker shows an unloaded vehicle weight of 2,961 lb, a length of about 21' 3", and an exterior height of roughly 10' 1" (120.88"), so it stays firmly in half-ton and many midsize-SUV territory without giving up full hard-side comfort. With a 30-gallon fresh tank and 20-gallon gray and black tanks, plus a tankless water heater and 19,000 BTU furnace, it is set up for long weekends and extended road trips rather than just a quick overnight.

The Jay Feather Air SL line is built on a fully integrated A-frame with galvanized-steel, impact-resistant wheel wells, so the frame and running gear are designed to handle real-world roads instead of just sitting in a campground. Up top, Jayco uses its Magnum Truss™ roof system—engineered to be significantly stronger than typical RV roofs—capped with a PVC roofing membrane backed by a limited lifetime warranty. That combination gives you a roof you can actually trust when you are under trees, in heavy rain, or dealing with snow load.

The 17BHSL floorplan hits a sweet spot for young families and couples who want a small coach with real beds. You get a front queen bed, rear double bunks, and a booth dinette that can convert for an extra guest, so sleeping capacity is up to five or six people depending on how you use the dinette. At a little over 21 feet long and 8 feet wide, the trailer still fits easily into older state-park sites and smaller private campgrounds, while the 10' power awning creates a comfortable outdoor living zone right off the main entry.

The galley is built around practical, campsite-friendly equipment. A two-burner cooktop, microwave oven, and 5 cu. ft. 12V refrigerator give you everything you need for day-to-day meals without the complexity and weight of a big slide kitchen. Residential-style kitchen countertops, a high-rise faucet, and overhead cabinets keep the space feeling more like a modern tiny home than a stripped-down camper. The 12V fridge sips power and stays cold while you tow, which is ideal when you are running between Fargo and the lake, or taking a longer trip to the Black Hills or the North Shore.

In the rear, the bunk beds and bathroom are laid out to keep mornings and bedtimes simple. The bunks are rated at 300–600 lb depending on position, so they work for kids and most adults without feeling flimsy. The bathroom includes a 36" tub/shower combo and a marine-grade toilet with foot flush, which is a clear upgrade over the plastic hardware you see in many entry-level trailers. Closing the door, you get a true private bath—no wet-bath compromise—so everyone can get cleaned up after a day on the water or the trail without marching across the campground.

This VIN includes the Customer Value Package, which Jayco treats as mandatory on Jay Feather Air SL. That package layers in the right everyday gear most buyers would demand anyway: the 13,500 BTU roof A/C, 5 cu. ft. 12V refrigerator, power awning, microwave, roof-mount solar prep, and a properly sized 19K BTU furnace. You are not chasing missing basics with aftermarket add-ons; the coach shows up with core comfort items already factory-installed and engineered to work together.

On top of that, Overlander I Solar Package is called out on the window sticker for this unit. Overlander I is Jayco’s factory solar upgrade, built around a 200W roof-mounted solar panel and a 30-amp digital solar controller, giving you a legit charging source for the 12V system straight from the factory. That setup keeps batteries topped up while the trailer sits on your lot, makes boondocking easier, and lets you run the fridge, lights, and basic systems far more confidently when you are away from hookups.

Towability is a major strength of this VIN. With a UVW of 2,961 lb and a GVWR of 3,750 lb, most well-equipped crossovers, midsize SUVs, and half-ton pickups with the right tow package can handle this trailer comfortably, provided they are rated for the full GVWR. A 30-amp electrical system keeps things simple: one A/C, straightforward power management, and a standard 30-amp cord that works in almost any campground. For buyers who want to avoid jumping straight into three-quarter-ton trucks, this Jay Feather Air SL is a smart way to get into a quality build without over-committing on tow vehicle.

Inside, this Jayco leans heavily on materials and construction that are built to hold up. You get solid hardwood cabinet doors with screwed stile construction, hidden hinges, and 75 lb full-extension drawer guides, plus vinyl flooring throughout for easy cleanup. Dinette and bed platforms use plywood rather than cheap OSB, and the bathroom features a wood-trimmed mirror and marine-grade fixtures. These are small details on paper, but in use they translate to doors that stay aligned, drawers that do not sag, and a floor that is less likely to swell and fail under normal camping use.

The body and roof structure are backed by Jayco’s 2-year limited warranty plus 3-year structural warranty on towables, which is still one of the strongest factory warranties in the RV industry. Jayco publishes that all towable products come with this 2+3 coverage, and that extended term exists because they are confident in the construction of the frame, walls, roof, and floor. For a first-time buyer—or an experienced RVer stepping into a lighter coach—that warranty is not marketing fluff; it is real risk reduction over the first several seasons of ownership.

From a lifestyle angle, Jay Feather Air SL 17BHSL is built for quick getaways and simple setups. The power tongue jack, stabilizer jacks, and integrated solar mean you can roll into a campground, level, extend the awning, and be relaxing in minutes. The small footprint fits tight lake lots and older park roads, while the sleeping arrangement covers a couple plus kids or guests without needing a slide-out. It is the kind of trailer you actually use often, because it is not a chore to tow, store, or set up.

Finally, the window sticker on VIN 1UJBB0AJ1T1MA0203 shows a factory MSRP of $25,261, which includes the base Jay Feather Air SL configuration, the mandatory Customer Value Package, and the Overlander I Solar Package plus freight. That pricing reflects a fully equipped, solar-ready, ultralight bunkhouse with true Jayco construction and warranty. For buyers who want a compact, easy-tow trailer that still carries a big-name brand, real structural engineering, and a serious warranty behind it, this specific Jayco Jay Feather Air SL 17BHSL is exactly the kind of unit that makes sense to step into now and keep for years.
