Kestrel Take

The Jayco Jay Flight is one of the most popular travel trailers ever built, and for good reason — Jayco's quality control and materials are above average for the price. The 264BHW is a family-friendly bunkhouse. Standard checklist applies: slide seals, roof sealant, axle bearings.

What we checked

No public record to reconcile against

We don't yet have a public record to check this one against. Federal complaint records thin out badly on older vehicles, so there is little to check against. What follows is our own write-up, and it has not been reconciled against an official record. Treat it as a starting point, not a verdict.
