‘17 264BHW Totaled, what next

[SouthTexasRV]

I’ve been on here since we purchased our 2017 264BHW. We got great use out of it, over 11,000 plus miles on in in nearly 3 years. April 11 we had a massive hailstorm. 4 inch plus hail stones. Our trailer took a beating and was totaled by insurance.
Now we are looking for the next trailer to take us on our continuing adventures. We loved the 264BHW because of the bunks for our 6 and 12 year old. Looking back we wished we had a slide so that’s a must on the next item.
I’ve looked online at Jay Feather 24BH which we love the floor plan, a JF 27BHB which is nice, just big or a White Hawk 24MBH.
I cannot for the life of me find a JF 24BH in Texas. (All 2020 models). Is it elusive?
Does anyone have comments on a Murphy bed set up? Like it or dislike?
Thanks in advance for any insight.

We had a Murphy bed in our previous camper. It was ok, but now we have a 24RBS with a all the time bed and love it! It was something that the DW wanted, but I am surprised how much I like it. Jay.

I would be careful of that flirt plan, can lead to more of those pesky children.

The Murphy bed does help with the flirt plan however. Murphy invented it so that he could woo a particular opera singer into his bedroom by pretending it was a sitting room. It worked and they married, with his FIL financing the further development of the Murphy Bed idea. So flirting might be a good idea...

I know that was absolutely no help. but I couldn't help myself. Hard to ignore a good DYAC...

The 2020 Jay Feather 24BH has not been released yet, especially now with this virus mess all factorys being closed its on delay till June/July.

Do not limit your search to your local area. Driving half way across the nation saved us $5000 on our rig. We made it into a vacation.

That makes sense why I also cant find a 24BH Jay Feather anywhere. Makes sense that its not released yet.



Im comparing it against the SLX 8 242BHS, they look really similar. I wish I could get pictures of the 2020

Good to know. My preferred dealer told me reason they didn’t have one is lack of seating. Said they will just sit on the lot.
