Jayco Octane 272
Sticker was $30,810 in 2017. Out of production since 2020, so the used market is the only way to buy one. Estimate assumes a 2020 unit.
dry weight 7,050 lb + fresh water (102 gal, full) 851 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 272's published weights changed mid-run.
