Out of curiosity, what's the difference between the 16XRB and the X17Z? They look almost identical.

16XRB is a "Feather 7" which is 7' wide instead of standard 8' wide in regular Feather line. Bunks are too short for tall people.

Would love to see some pictures of this upgrade as I also have an 16XRB. Getting ready to add Solar soon in dreams of actually taking it out soon.

We looked at the 23, 17, and 16. We like the 16 basement storage, counter space, 7' width (we park on a slab in back of our house, need to back in 8.5' drive with fence, bay window dog-leg) can go anywhere and can push it around by hand on cement. We like the awning set-up and the angled cabinet by the door. We rarely use more than 2 burners (we also have an electric hot plate) and never bake so the added storage under the stove is nice.
We use the front bunk and sleep front to back rather than side to side. We are around 5'9" and the bunk is not long enough so we rigged a strap to hold two back cushions on the dinette side and made foam squares to strap on the sofa side. Works great and allows both to be by the window at the end.
We've made many modifications to customize the trailer just for us and we love it. 36,000 miles so far and looking forward to the summer.

X23e
We have a X23E and think it’s pretty grand so far compared to Big Agnes (our tent). We just got the super high wind PUGS that we’ll put on this weekend. We are also installing a Maxxair vent cover (a space shared with four guys and a Pom requires air flow if ya KWIM).

We just bought a 2003 18f kiwi. Really looking forward to AC and heat at night, compared to my canvas tent.

Quarantine special
Just purchased a Minty 2016 X19H and sold my Coleman/Fleetwood cheyene in the parking lot before I could get it unhooked.
We really love our pop up but with this quarantine and camp grounds telling us we can't stay that we must be self contained. Well problem solved and honestly I think we will love having a restroom and the extra room. We are more into camping than RV'ing so this will be perfect for us.

Jay Feather x23b.
We own an x23b hybrid and absolutely love it. We were popup camper for many years and decided that we wanted to reduce our set up and break down time by moving to the hybrid trailer, while maintaining the camping feel with the expandable tents. We are pleased the the x23b hybrid accomplishes both of those aspects for us. We look forward to giving and receiving info on this forum.

Congratulations on your new hybrid! Wishing you many great experiences and memories with it!
We love our 16XRB for same the reasons you cite. It just really fits our style.
We tented for 50 years, had a popup for a year and now have about 36,000 miles on our three year old trailer.

232
Haven't seen a single other 232 here. It's actually too big for me and my girlfriend and I'm thinking of either converting the side pop out bed into a large window or selling it to purchase a smaller one, with a different floor plan that we like. This model has 3 pop outs, sleeps at least 8 and I made an impulsive decision when buying it. I don't know what to do yet, and that's why I joined this forum. The pictures posted is before and after of the side where the pop out was removed to install the large window, maybe.

Looks like an older unit from the graphics. Take a look at the X23f; also a 3 bed model with very similar window configuration. Maybe the 232 was forerunner of that model?

Yes, you are correct. The x23f added a slideout and lost some storage space, but basically the same. I'm sitting here debating on whether to put it up for sale or not, and shoot for something more ideal. I have no experience in travel trailers, but I do have experience in working for things that i want
Edit: Actually, the main reason to find another trailer is because the weight limit is maxed out for my TV, not just the floor plan issue... That kinda concerns me....

Our 23B is awesome!!!
We have owned our 23B since 2012, and it actually seemed brand new to us! (The previous owner did not use it more than 2x) The dealer sold us a used Equalizer hitch, and since then we have had 8 wonderful seasons, and a few hair-pulling problems along the way. We have camped with 3 at least, and 7 at the most! The camper is super easy to pull, has great interior space with the slide out, and plenty of beds for everybody! The Jayfeather 23B is an awesome choice for young families to groups of friends!!
It is possible to pull with a V6, but pulling it with my 2017 Silverado Crew Cab 5.2L V8 is a breeze!!

We have a 2011 X17z for our family of 6. Sure, it's a tight fit, but we use it to get out and about. Never really plan to spend too much time in it when not asleep. We were drawn to the hybrid because we really enjoy tent camping. Now, my wife would rather take the HTT than the tents .
We've spent over 40 nights in it in the last year and half, so I'd say it's been a success!

We ave a 2011 X17Z and we love it. We've had it for about a year and a half. We've probably spent 40 nights in it so far. It fits the 6 of us just right. Sure we could use more space, but then we'd need a bigger tow-rig. As is, the 2013 Toyota Sienna had no problems pulling from SC to Southern Utah and back last summer!
My wife was skeptical of a camper when I bought it, because we love tent camping. But now she loves this more because we can sleep on a nice mattress, have cold food, and running water.

Happy campers!!! :)
We own the 2020 X23b with the modern farmhouse package and it has exceeded all of our expectations so far. Our last camper was one of the Off road pop up models and it very cool and very cool looking, but was very very labor intensive to set up and tear down, and needed lots of repairs. We like the tent feel that the pop up gave us but again, too much work. We were looking to simplify the labor before and after the trip and maintain the tent feel, and the X23b crushes that. Our camping experience is perfection now and we couldn’t be more pleased with our camper all the way around. We shopped long and hard looking at all of the hybrid options out there, and we found Jayco to be hands down, a cut above they all.

Congratulations on your new hybrid!
Your experiences and thoughts mirrors ours We really enjoy our little 16XRB - wouldn't trade it for anything and have never seen anything we'd like better. Just getting ready for a week in the U.P. to add to our 39,232 miles of adventures and experiences in the past few years.
Best wishes for many happy travels and great memories in your new rig!
