2026 JAYCO JAY FEATHER 17BHSL AIR

Jayco Jay Feather Air SL 17BHSL travel trailer, VIN 1UJBB0AJ3T1MA0204, is a 2026 ultralight bunkhouse built for families who want a small footprint without giving up real Jayco construction. Jayco publishes an unloaded vehicle weight of 2,885 lb, GVWR of 3,750 lb, cargo carrying capacity of 865 lb, and a dry hitch weight of 250 lb for the 17BHSL floorplan. Overall length is 21' 3", exterior height with A/C is 10' 1", and width is 8' 0", with a 9' awning providing usable shade on the campsite side. Fresh water capacity is 30 gallons, with 20-gallon gray and 20-gallon black tanks, a tankless water heater, and a 19,000 BTU furnace.

Floorplan design is simple and effective: front queen bed, mid-ship dinette, and rear corner bunks with adjacent tub/shower, all in a single-axle, no-slide coach. Sleeping capacity is rated up to six, using the front bed, double bunks, and convertible dinette. That combination makes it a natural fit for parents with one or two kids, grandparents taking grandkids, or buyers who want a compact bunk model that still feels like a “real” trailer inside, not a compromise box.

Structure is where Jay Feather Air SL separates itself from most small bunkhouses. The trailer rides on a fully integrated A-frame rather than a tack-welded tongue, improving strength and towing stability. Underneath, galvanized-steel, impact-resistant wheel wells protect the body from blown tires and road debris, while nitrogen-filled radial tires help maintain consistent pressure and ride quality. Above that, Jayco’s Magnum Truss™ roof system is engineered to be significantly stronger than typical RV roofs and is capped with a PVC roofing membrane backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

Sidewalls are vacuum-bonded and laminated with Azdel® composite on both sides, a major upgrade over the luan panels used by many competing brands. Azdel resists rot, mold, and delamination, and it also helps with sound deadening and insulation. Inside the coach, plywood bed platforms and plywood dinette bases provide a solid foundation under the mattresses and cushions, not just stapled OSB. Single bunks are rated to 300 lb and double bunks to 600 lb, so the rear sleeping area is built to support real-world use by kids and adults.

Standard exterior equipment matches what buyers expect from a modern Jayco. You get 30-amp service, axles with electric self-adjusting brakes and easy-lube hubs, a 120V exterior outlet, the fully integrated A-frame, galvanized wheel wells, large exterior downspouts, Magnum Truss roof, nitrogen-filled radial tires, and the PVC membrane. Roof-mount solar prep, rear backup camera prep, a detachable power cord, and an entry door with window and shade prep are built into the platform, making upgrades easier down the road.

Inside, the standard Jay Feather Air SL interior spec reads more like a small apartment than a starter camper. Equipment includes a high-rise kitchen faucet, residential-style kitchen countertops, a queen-sized mattress in the front bed, plywood bed platforms, vinyl flooring throughout, and solid hardwood cabinet doors with screwed-stile construction and hidden hinges. A wood-trimmed bathroom mirror, marine-grade toilet with foot flush, and heavy-duty 75 lb full-extension drawer guides are the kind of details that matter once the trailer is loaded and being used every weekend.

VIN 1UJBB0AJ3T1MA0204 is built with the Customer Value Package (mandatory on Jay Feather Air SL), which Jayco positions as the core comfort bundle. That package includes the 5 cu. ft. 12V refrigerator, 13.5K BTU roof A/C, roof-mount solar prep, exterior porch light, 19K BTU furnace, 2-burner stove top, microwave oven, electric vents in bathroom and kitchen, rear backup camera prep, detachable power cord, inverter-pre-wired receptacles, dark-tinted privacy windows, and LED interior and exterior lighting. Those are all factory-engineered pieces, not random add-ons, which keeps the coach simpler to own and service.

The window sticker and Jayco’s own spec sheet for this configuration also show Overlander I Solar Package on the 17BHSL. That package adds a 200W roof-mounted solar panel and a 30-amp digital solar controller, giving you real charging capability for the 12V system straight from the factory. Combined with the 12V refrigerator and LED lighting, that means the trailer can stay powered for basic use on a sunny weekend without relying constantly on shore power or a generator.

Towability is a major selling point for this VIN. With a published UVW of 2,885 lb, GVWR of 3,750 lb, and ST205/75R14 “D”-rated tires, the 17BHSL is within range for many properly equipped midsize SUVs and half-ton trucks, assuming the tow vehicle is rated for the full GVWR and has an appropriate hitch and brake controller. The short wheelbase and 21' 3" overall length make it easier to maneuver in older state parks, tight campground loops, and smaller lake lots where a larger trailer would be a hassle.

From a family-use standpoint, the Jay Feather Air SL 17BHSL is set up to keep mornings and evenings under control. The front queen bed stays made up, so adults don’t have to convert the dinette every night. The rear double bunks give kids or guests a defined space of their own, and the booth dinette in the middle can flex between eating, working, and extra sleeping as needed. The tub/shower combo in the rear bath is a practical detail for younger kids and anyone coming in covered in sand, dirt, or lake water.

Construction is backed by Jayco’s well-known warranty structure. All current Jayco towables, including the Jay Feather Air SL line, carry a 2-year limited warranty plus a 3-year structural warranty, which is significantly longer than the one-year coverage still common in the RV industry. That warranty sits on top of Jayco’s 100% pre-delivery inspection and their published emphasis on frame, roof, and lamination quality, which is the reason they are comfortable backing the product longer.

For buyers comparing similar small bunkhouse trailers, Jayco Jay Feather Air SL 17BHSL, VIN 1UJBB0AJ3T1MA0204, stands out because of that combination: vacuum-bonded Azdel lamination, Magnum Truss roof with PVC membrane, fully integrated A-frame, Customer Value Package, Overlander I Solar, and Jayco’s 2+3 warranty. It stays light enough to be easy to tow and store, but it is built with materials and methods that are closer to Jayco’s larger, more expensive lines. For a family or couple who want to get out often, tow with confidence, and know the trailer is backed by a serious manufacturer, this specific 17BHSL is the right kind of “small but serious” travel trailer.
