Looking at a jay flight 26BH.
what are some of the "must have" features?
Anything I should be warned about?

I'm sure some 26BH owners will chime in with their personal thoughts. Couple general questions to consider. Can you safely tow it? Will it fit your families needs for a few years? Doesn't make financial sense to upgrade in 2 years. If you haven't already done so have the whole family sit in it for a while, like at least 1/2 hour. Imagine your family in it for a rainy evening, is ther enough room to play card/board games, watch a movie? Have you visualized where you're going to put all your stuff. I don't know what your towing with but you might want to think about a antisway device/weight distributing hitch setup.

We have a 2012 26BH, picked it up late last summer and have only been out ~10 nights total. We really enjoy the trailer. It works well for our family; 2 adults, 2 kids, 2 dogs.

We really enjoy the Electric Tounge Jack. If I remember it came with the "elite package" which also got a few other nice things...bigger fridge, better mattress, and much nicer wheels.

Get a spare tire, its an option -- but must have.

Ours only came with the a single Group 24 battery, I think 2 is a min and if you can get 2 6v even beter.
