Summary of the different model lines?

[Flapper]

Can anyone point me to a brief comparison of the differences in the various TT models in the Jayco lineup? Just major distinctions that separate one from another - type of construction, has more (or fewer) options, premier or entry level, etc. My head is kind of spinning trying to sort out why I would want (or not want) Jay Feather, White Hawk, Jay Flight, Eagle and/or Eagle HT!

Have you looked at the Jayco.com website?

They have all models organized by make and model with specs included.

Specs of each model within each line...but nothing higher level that tells me why I should consider looking at a Whitehawk instead of an Eagle HT, etc.

Just the very short descriptions at: https://www.jayco.com/products/travel-trailers/

I was hoping for something a little more verbose as to the reasons/target market/biggest differences for each line, but not necessarily every possible distinction. See the recent thread asking about why Jay Flight vs Jay Flight SLX as an example.

LOL, You want us to take all the fun out of the search for you!

I've never seen such a comparison on any brand website - I suspect its considered counter productive from a marketing standpoint as they want you to dig through all the models.

However - in general terms, the Jayco site usually lists or displays the models from left to right as:
lower cost/smaller/lighter/less bells and whistles to the left.
higher priced/larger/heavier/lots of bells and whistles to the right.
And several steps in between.

By "bells and whistles" I mean things like fancier interiors - trim, cabinet fronts, soft close drawers, bigger TV's, fake fireplaces, complex crown molding. Also more features like availability of residential refrig, 2 or 3 ACs.

There are some that say the higher end units are better built - and there are many that would argue that point from hard won experience :-(.

Of course the HT designation means the product is built with lighter weight materials and is designed to be towed by a Half Ton (HT) truck - although that also has been debated ad-nauseum on the forum. So the Eagle HT's are displayed to the left of the Eagle's.

Other than that - you just gotta do your homework.

It doesn't seem likely there could be a brief comparison between the makes, options, etc. IMO, it would take a large, detailed spreadsheet to even begin to capture that much information. And even if you had that in front of you, your head would probably still be spinning.

IMO, you could stop the spin that exists because there are so many choices by first deciding on what is important to you.
