Jayco travel trailers have been a favorite of many RVers over the years. They have been America’s bestselling travel trailer for 14 years running and have been creating “generations of family fun for 50 years.”
And when you dive in, the brand does have a lot to offer. With a longer extended warranty than the industry standard, Jayco owners get 2-year limited and 3-year structure on all RVs built since 2020. Jayco also prides itself on the quality of their build and their focus on being eco-friendly by reducing waste and energy consumption with their RVs.
Let’s dive in a little bit more and discover what makes their SLX bunkhouse travel trailer such a great option for new RVers and families.
Bunkhouse travel trailers are a popular RV choice for those with large families. Bunkhouses generally offer a full kitchen, bathroom, private master bedroom and private bunkhouse depending on the size of the travel trailer.
Bunkhouse travel trailers are typically towed by a bumper hitch. Depending on the length and weight of the trailer, they can be pulled by a variety of vehicles, such as an SUV or medium-sized truck.
It is important to always check your vehicle’s manual to determine its tow capacity before shopping. If you are not planning on upgrading your tow vehicle for the RV you buy, then you will have to shop within the tow limits of your current vehicle. Find your vehicles towing capacity with this tow guide.

These floorplans offer a private bathroom in the rear of the RV along with the 30 X 72-inches with bunk beds with 4-inch-thick bunk mats.
