westcoastcop :   We have the 2008 Jayco Eagle 351RLSA. This is our 5th new Jayco...and again we are pleased with the buying experience at the Dealer...and are yet again continue to be dazzled by the quality, workmanship and incredible attention to detail! And so many things not listed in the brochure are standard. Jayco's are built by a company that is still owned by the original family, 41 years ago. They aren't like some of the RV companies that make 30 different brands...Jayco just makes Jayco! They have a 2 year warranty that they actually have no restrictions on. Some manufacturers void your warranty if you full time or use it as a "residence"...not Jayco! And the double stacked structural steel frame instead of cheap flimsy aluminum frame. Real oak wood cabinets and drawers instead of particle wood used in other brands. Tinted Safety glass standard. About 20 items are standard on Jayco that are extra cost options on other brands. And Jayco uses name brand stuff on their RV's...not cheap crappy no-name appliances. Goodyear tires, Atwood heaters and water heaters, Sharp DVD TV's, Samsung microwaves, etc. And you'll find if you do happen to have problems (our last 4 Jaycos never had any issues!) the Jayco folks say that they treat their customers like family...and they DO! Jayco gets ***** 5 Stars for sure!

Mike :   We would like to hear from anyone who has experience with a Jayco Jay Feather Sport 165. We've looked at a lot of small trailers to find one to replace our 2001 Thor Wanderer II hybrid (which we loved). We think the 165 may be the right one (size, weight, layout, amenities) to use with our F-150 V-8. Thanks.

martin :   I have only had my Jayco Jay Feather 197 in Colorado for one season and pull it with a Toyota 4Runner V8. So far I have zero complaints on mostly three day trips into the mountains. The u shaped seating is plus and for two people it is plenty of room using the book for storage as needed. The double axles provide a little extra mental security for me. A friend first bought a 197 and drove it from CT to Idaho and back this past summer with zero complaints.

joe :   I removed my stove and hood vent which i did not need and added more counter space and a shelve where the hood was. Instead of drilling a hole to run the wires to the hood fan and light, some nice worker at Jayco used a hammer to smash a hole thru the panel which he believed would never be seen if the hood vent or microwave were never removed. 05 165sport purchased at elkins w.v.

Buppa :   I bought a 165 in august 2007. I'm telling you can't find another trailer it's size on the market that offers as much. It is perfect for 3 adults without converting anything. I am going to up grade my truck, but right now I am pulling it with a 4 cyl.1997 nissan pickup it pulls it fine with a weight dis. hitch. It is a little under powered but it does fine in Florida.(flat). I love the 165 it's perfect for my wife and I. If you are going for a small TT this one is the best one for the money. Nice size,stove,oven,microwave,tub/shower, try to find all that in a trailer this size.
