The Jayco Jay Flight SLX lineup offers a great selection of lightweight, affordable campers with creature comforts similar to those of its parent brand, the Jayco Jay Flight campers. Since 2014, RVing couples and families have made the Jay Flight SLX a standard sight at campgrounds nationwide.
All 10 Jay Flight SLX campers share impressive universal features, including the Magnum Truss roof system, residential-style kitchen countertops, an on-demand tankless water heater, and more. However, the SLX series’ diversity is as impressive as its overarching design and construction. With campers ranging from 2,700 to over 6,000 pounds and roughly 18 to 31 feet, the SLX lineup appeals to a broad audience of RVers in size and capacity alone, which brings us here.
We’re exploring the floorplans, features, and attractions of the Jayco Jay Flight SLX travel trailer lineup to help you decide which units are worth visiting in person as you peruse all of the Jayco travel trailers.
The Jay Flight SLX RVs
The Jay Flight SLX lineup includes 10 floorplans, nine of which are available on the East Coast. (Note that model codes with a “W” indicate West Coast models.) Here’s the spec overview of the complete lineup:
| Model | Dry Weight | Length | Sleeping Capacity | CCC |
| 154BH/154BHW | 2,690 | 18′ | 4 | 910 |
| 174BH/174BHW | 3,140 | 21’8″ | 5 | 1,010 |
| 183RB/183RBW | 3,375 | 21’1″ | 4 | 975 |
| 184BS/184BSW | 3,355 | 21’7″ | 6 | 1,145 |
| 195RB/195RBW | 3,015 | 21’10” | 4 | 980 |
| 210QB/210QBW | 4,315 | 25’10” | 6 | 1,185 |
| 211MWB | 4,170 | 24’6″ | 8 | 1,830 |
| 260BH/260BHW | 4,685 | 29’6″ | 10 | 1,315 |
| 261BHS/261BHSW | 5,804 | 30’4″ | 10 | 1,296 |
| 262RLS/262RLSW | 6,044 | 31’1″ | 6 | 1,156 |
Jay Flight SLX includes bunkhouse, rear bath, queen bed, Murphy bed, and rear living travel trailer floorplan options, sleeping as few as four campers and as many as 10. Remember, the SLX series is built to be towable by many vehicles, so you won’t see any king beds in these travel trailers. Instead, these shorter travel trailers promise easier towing and comfortable, well-designed interiors. Choose from single-axle or double-axle travel trailers and those with slide-outs and without.
Previously, the SLX lineup was split into two categories, SLX 7 and SLX 8, which separated the units by exterior width—seven feet and eight feet, respectively. While Jayco no longer uses these distinctions, the SLX line still comes in two different exterior widths.
All “100” model codes currently have seven-foot exterior widths, and “200” models have eight-foot exterior widths. In addition, “100” models have six-foot six-inch interior heights, and “200” models have six-foot nine-inch interior heights. The “100” and “200” model codes also separate the single and double-axle SLX travel trailers, and it’s worth pointing out the difference in fresh water, gray water, and black water tank capacities, which more than double when you move to the double-axle Jay Flight SLX travel trailers.
The Jay Flight SLX series appeals to a wide range of campers. Let’s explore some of our favorite overall, family, and couples models.
Top Jay Flight SLX Campers
Jay Flight SLX 183RB and 183RBW
Specs
- Length: 21’1”
- Dry Weight: 3,375 pounds
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 4
Quaint, efficient campers, the Jay Flight SLX 183RB and 183RBW are some of the most accessible travel trailers for those new to towing. A single slide-out adds extra interior living space that’s rare for a travel trailer of this size. This brings you back to basics with a spacious rear bath, a queen-size bed, and the ability to host guests if needed. The 183RB encapsulates everything the SLX lineup offers: easy to use, easy to tow, comfortable, and ready for extended weekend vacations.

Jay Flight SLX 262RLS and 262RLSW
Specs
- Length: 31’1”
- Dry Weight: 6,044 pounds
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 6
More is better in the case of the 262RLS and 262RLSW—SLX’s largest travel trailers. While this camper isn’t as lightweight as other SLX options, it’s an innovative design that any couple will enjoy. The added slide-out makes for a roomy rear living area that includes a rarity among SLX travel trailers: reclining theater seats.
We also like the wide, panoramic windows and the overhead storage made possible by those taller 81-inch ceilings. Don’t miss the open-concept kitchen with a sink on a soft angle, which makes this main living area more inviting.
When entertaining guests, you’ll enjoy a private bathroom entrance in the middle of the camper, so you and your guests can easily access it without disturbing the other side. And the 262RLS includes two entry doors, adding another layer of convenience.

Best Jay Flight SLX Travel Trailers For Families
Jay Flight SLX 174BH and 174BHW
Specs
- Length: 21’8”
- Dry Weight: 3,140 pounds
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 5
The SLX 174BH and 174BHW have everything you need—and nothing you don’t—for the perfect family RV weekend. This minimalist floorplan is exceptionally easy to tow—even with an SUV—but can still comfortably sleep your entire family. Look no further if you’re seeking an affordable, small bunkhouse travel trailer. We like that they maintain a queen bed in the limited space. While the storage is limited, solid hardwood cabinet doors in the kitchen and bedroom keep your belongings secure while traveling.

Jay Flight SLX 260BH and 260BHW
Specs
- Length: 29’6”
- Dry Weight: 4,685 pounds
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 10
To show the diversity of the SLX lineup, compare the previous bunkhouse with the 260BH and 260BHW. Incredibly, these campers stay under thirty feet and 5,000 pounds but can sleep up to 10 guests! And Jayco accomplishes this without a slide-out. We love the living room with a jackknife sofa that bumps against the front queen bed, creating much-needed separation and additional sleeping spots.
The taller ceilings make room for double-over-double bunks, so your kids or guests won’t feel crowded. You get added storage, too, with overhead compartments above the dinette. This is a fantastic, unique floorplan that presents some serious advantages.

Best Jay Flight SLX Trailers For Couples
Jay Flight SLX 195RB and 195RBW
Specs
- Length: 21’10”
- Dry Weight: 3,015 pounds
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 4
Let’s start with the most alluring feature of the SLX 195RB and 195RBW: the large closet wardrobe. This is unusual for a couple’s travel trailer of this size, but it’s the perfect addition to make a small, towable camper like this more manageable and comfortable. Use that storage any way you’d like. We also like the other couples-focused features like the bedside wardrobes and nightstands. These simple, straightforward, single-axle units are easy to tow and maintain and offer a comfortable basecamp for your adventures.

Jay Flight SLX Features
So, what do we like about the SLX travel trailers? Let’s explore some universal features across this best-selling lineup.
Magnum Truss™ Roof System
Impressively, all Jay Flight SLX models include the industry-best Magnum Truss™ roof system, which is the same you’ll find on Jayco’s top luxury travel trailers and fifth wheels. This includes ⅜” plywood decking for added support, water resistance, and longevity. With 2 x 2” studs, 7” header beams, and screwed (not stapled) construction, you get a superior quality roof on an affordable travel trailer.
Upgraded Features
Having an on-demand tankless water heater in a lightweight, entry-level travel trailer is an uncommon advantage. You’ll love the near-continuous hot water, especially for bunkhouse owners bringing kids and friends along.
And this is just one of the many upgraded features you’ll find on SLX that you would expect on Jayco’s higher-end towables. Features like the G20 dark tinted privacy windows, the Solid Step® entry steps, and Keyed-Alike™ entry and baggage doors are nice-to-haves that boost the appeal of these travel trailers.
Bolstered Interior Construction
Explore the SLX interiors, and you’ll find some significant construction advantages, starting with the solid hardwood cabinet doors, which are a small but essential detail.
We also love the residential-style kitchen countertops, the vinyl flooring, the ball-bearing drawer glides with an impressive 75-pound storage capacity, and the high-capacity bunk beds (300 pounds for singles and 600 pounds for doubles).
Floorplan Variety
Choices matter for RVers. With 10 primary floorplans in the SLX lineup, we appreciate the options for couples, families, solo travelers, empty-nesters, and anyone else. While it would be nice to have a king-size bed option, the SLX lineup still includes a diverse array of floorplans, ranging from front dining to front living to an east-to-west queen bed option.
Many options exist, so you might consider visiting a Jayco-exclusive dealership to check out the full lineup.
Jay Flight SLX vs Jay Flight Campers
Size and amenities are the primary differences between the Jay Flight SLX travel trailers and the Jay Flight campers.
The Jay Flight trailers offer more residential features and added comfort for anyone interested in longer trips or seasonal stays. However, you will likely need a tow vehicle with more towing capacity, and these travel trailers are more expensive. The SLX line lacks certain upgraded interior features of the Jay Flight line, notably the kitchen appliances, three-burner cooktops, seamless countertops, four-inch bunk mats, solar panels, and outdoor kitchens and showers.
We would love to see the SLX travel trailers include exterior features like a power tongue jack to make setup and teardown easier. Additionally, the SLX models only have the option to upgrade to an enclosed underbelly, while the Jay Flight lineup includes enclosed and heated underbellies as standard.
