Jayco, Inc. has introduced a new "heavyweight" in the world of lightweight travel trailers. The Jay Feather Sport is a super lightweight travel trailer designed for almost any vehicle with towing capacity. This includes mini vans, small sport utility vehicles and many intermediate cars.

“Jayco has become a leader in the lightweight towable RV segment, because we have made an effort to provide our customers with extra features and conveniences, along with quality construction," explained Sid Johnson, director of sales and marketing. "The super lightweight design of the Jay Feather Sport with its more flexible towing capabilities, gives our products even broader appeal to the growing market for lightweight RVs."

The versatile Jay Feather Sport travel trailer line has been designed for families on a budget, and for those campers who want to move up from tent camping, Johnson said. Allowing for easier towing, the Sport touts a shorter length, 17 feet 11 inches, and lighter weight, 2,580 pounds unloaded vehicle weight. The Jay Feather Sport comes fully loaded with standard equipment ranging from fiberglass sidewalls, independent torsion axle suspension, patio awning, AM/FM Stereo with CD Player and Microwave oven.
