    Found myself here given your previous recommendation. I reached out about Go Play and ended up in contact with Caleb at yalls corporate location. Fast forward a bit and there’s no go plays down in TX but I just put a deposit on a ‘25 Jayco 260bh with Caleb and plan to do a trip with the family to pick it up at the Longview location.
    Wanted to thank you for all of your help and am glad I was able to work a deal with Bish’s.

    I have the 2024 264BH (Baja) and love it so far. Pulling it with a ‘13 F150 5.0 short bed no prob. I enjoy the extras that come on the 264 Baja (solar, enclosed underbelly, bigger fresh/propane tanks, clearance, small interior things) and paid $3k more than what the 260 is advertised at.
    Thank you very much for your videos, Josh! You’ve definitely helped us find the right RV!

    Love love love this!! These are exactly what I keep looking for. Something that will sleep my family of 6, and be towable by a vehicle that will fit my family of 6. We use camping more as a less expensive hotel than to really live in. Currently we tent camp with a small cargo trailer for all the gear. I keep looking for a no slide bunkhouse with the dinette and jack-knife sofa. This is great and also the GoPlay 26bh.

    This is a great option! I would have gone this way back in 2022 if it were available to save some $$$. I have the 2022 264BH (because of Josh's recommendation) for a family of 6. Very similar to this camper. Excellent layout. With just a few mods / additions, it is a very capable unit, even for a busy family of 6! These units are also great in the cold / snow (MN here) and are light on propane - very efficient.

    I like the glass in the cabinet doors over the dinette, wish the one on the other wall. Love the cups holders in the sofa. I like this one. I like the tankless hot water tank. I like the fact that the 264 has a window in the top bunk. Other than that, don’t see where it offers more than this one does.

    We are looking at finally getting out of our ‘16 Starcraft Launch 16RB, and getting into a new Jayco Jay Flight SLX 260BH. We’ve got 4 kids now, so we are pretty taxed out in our old hybrid. We can’t all fit into a pickup, and our tow vehicle is a GMC Yukon, so leaning towards a no slide to save on weight. This is at the top of my list.

    Hi Josh i that I must be getting old I thought you said Vishes off on the left foot already. No problem with the top bunk being no windows I would be using it for storage and putting the mattress on the lower bunk for thicker bed. In the bathroom i would have to get some kind of storage for the toiletries & bathroom produces products. Talking about starting a family but going to happen to me any time soon .. If the price is right i would be happy to buy this travel trailer . So be safe have fun happy camping !

    That is a great no slide family TT at a very reasonable price. 12V compressor fridge is a great plus, nice bunks for the kids but the tube/shower is not needed, just a shower pane. The thing I really like is the tank capacity, really good for this type of TT. Plus, Jayco does build a good quality product, this is a winner.

      I have a Murphy bed and bunks in my 2021 Keystone Passport 219bh, it has a window in the bathroom and I opted for a Maxx fan the will pull air through the coach when the AC isn't needed. Storage drawers in the kitchen, a pantry, the dinette benches have drawer access, also under the sofa/Murphy bed there are drawers. Love the excellent use of space the Murphy bed affords and it's a full queen bed! There is plenty of kitchen counter prep space between the stove/oven and the large sink. I use a roll-out rack over half of the sink which adds space and convenient dish drying rack. All this and NO slide!

    Noooooo, don't take away the 264BH that's what ive been saving up for!!!
    ...and it's not that much heavier.
    What I want to know is - what is the difference between Jayco SLX 260BH and the 260BHW - after i scanned the qr code I scrolled down and found the 260BHW to be closer to my purchasing goals. They appear to be the same floorplan, but the only info I can click on sounds like the 'extras' that come with the 264BH.
    Speaking of extras, Goodyear's don't mean a thing to me except that I'll be replacing them alot more often than literally every other tire out there on the market.
