2018 Jayfeather - they're up!

Jayco has updated their website with the 2018 Jayfeather information:

They always update the site in August.

They seem to have less and less hybrid floor plans every year. It looks like the X23F is not going to be made anymore. Too bad, we were hoping to get one next year. Hopefully they come up with something even better.

I didn't see any hybrid over 19 feet.

It's listed as 2018. Not sure what makes you think they've stopped making it.

Four out of the five them are over 19'.

We just bought a 2018 X23f. Would this be the last year for them? Sad.

Typically when they say "Dealer Stock Only" that means discontinued floor plan. However, I've never seen that listed this early in the model year. Usually it's at the end of the model year. I'm guessing they started making 2018 X23F but then decided not to anymore. I'm hoping I'm wrong.

It really has one question their marketing strategy. This is a company which generated over $1.5 Billion dollars in sales in 2016. In today’s world, you must have easily accessible retail exposure (internet). To not keep your website up to date with your new product lines is just lazy IMHO. These Jayco Webpages are easy to create and populate. I wonder what the hold up is? New owners, Thor?

I called Jayco when I saw that. They are tweaking the X23F floorplan slightly to improve it. The updated floorplan will be posted soon. The guy was pretty enthusiastic about it.

Thanks for the good news. I can't wait to see what they come up with. That floor plan was pretty nice as is.

The new X23E is up:

It's longer than the X23F is (not sure how much). There is a U-shaped dinette now, storage next to the fridge, and outside storage under the dinette.

I like it. More outside storage and a much bigger wardrobe next to the sink. The pantry next to the fridge is a nice add too. The awning is also 3 feet longer. Nice job Jayco!

Glad you got a good answer. The year before we bought our X20E the web site said Dealer Stock Only also. I don't panic until the site doesn't show it at all. Hope you get one!

Thanks Chuck. Me too.

And thank you for the advice over the years, especially when we were just starting out. I'm glad such good people are on this forum. I learn so much here!
