Didn't see this posted anywhere so please forgive me if it is and I missed it. Having trouble posting decor colors.

Previous shadow leatherette option available in addition to tumbleweed.

For fabric options previous mineral still available but coffee gone and new option is canyon which is a darker color like coffee was...

2017 Jayco Jay Flight Features and Enhancements

Just reading over the changes and I think the one I like best is that the entry doors and baggage doors will be keyed alike. One less mod. Not sure why it took so long for them to do that but glad they finally have...

Interesting!!!

Would like to see how the accent lighting for the counter top looks. Probably the only thing I noticed that sound nice. Maybe another mod??? Lol

Wonder what they mean by new style tv antenna? The CVP lists a digital tv antenna. Not sure if we what we have is a digital antenna or not.

Simmons mattress instead of the Denver mattress. 80" queen in most now also. Knew that was coming.

And keyed alike doors/ baggage doors. Nice! As mentioned, about time.....

Did they delete the murphy bed models this year?
I thought that was an interesting floorplan that created more useable space.

Yes that model is gone from the JayFlight lineup. Maybe it could show up in another lineup? IDK.

Through the dealer. I ordered a JayFlight and found out this week it would be a 2017 so they sent me the information.

Yes I'm curious about the accent lighting too. As for the antenna, the pre-2017 are digital so I guess it's just a different design?

I thought it was digital, but haven't even fired the tv or dvd player up yet. Lol Maybe we will when we parole the tt out of winter storage.

You know I've never used the roof mounted antenna on the current trailer... We have watched movies and used campground cable hookups but that's it.

I bet your itching to get that new trailer out of storage...

SC,

Sorry, missed your reply!!!

Yes we were, but we got the 32 out this past Wed!!! First trip next w/e, and lots to do beforehand (stuff besides getting the tt ready).

If/when anyone looks at a '17 Flight please try to get some pics of the accent lighting. Very interested to see it.

Thank you very much for that, very interesting! It looks like the Elite package is mandatory.

I am really surprised they deleted the 23mbh. When I bought mine none of the dealers in Oregon could keep them in stock as it was a very popular floorplan.

Regular Lippert setup. I can get a pic tomorrow and post it... Since you don't actually ride in the camper not sure the moryde that was offered last year makes much difference....

I guess you could call it a downgrade. They weren't that big of deal to me. The other changes far outweighed the deletion of the morryde to me. Not sure I would be able to tell the difference behind the wheel. They could be added without much issue. Here's a pic of what the 2017's have...

It makes a huge difference. My last trailer did not have MorRyde and I would always have issues with cabinet doors opening and the trailer bouncing on rough roads. Those issues were eliminated with MorRyde.
