Jayco Jay Flight SLX 280FKS
Sticker was $55,672 in 2026. Out of production since 2026, so the used market is the only way to buy one. Estimate assumes a 2026 unit.
dry weight 7,465 lb + fresh water (52 gal, full) 434 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb. Brochure dry weight omits water, propane, batteries and your gear; this estimate doesn't.
Judged the way the app judges: estimated loaded weight against each vehicle's rating less a 10% margin, per model year, because the 280FKS's published weights changed mid-run.
