America's Most Liveable RVs

Liveability Redefined

Liveability means making your camping experience more comfortable, in an RV you can depend on, at a price you'll feel good about. It's spending quality time together, without spending a fortune. And it's what makes Jayco America's Most Liveable RVs.

America's Family Favorite Just Got Smaller

Introducing the lightweight Swift and super towable Swift SLX, the newest additions to the 2012 Jayco Jay Flight series. Both travel trailers feature everything America loves about the Jay Flight, but in a smaller package. The Swift SLX, at just 2,330 pounds, is light enough to be towed by most minivans, SUVs, and crossovers.*

At an affordable price, it'll easily fit into your budget, while giving you everything you need for comfort.

A Tradition of Liveability

The Jayco story began in 1968 when Jayco founder Lloyd Bontrager created an innovative, easy-to-use lifter system that led to a better fold-down camper. Loaded with more comforts and conveniences, Lloyd believed his camper would bring people closer together because it was more liveable. A devoted family man, Lloyd's passion extended to his business as well. The company's success stems from his insistence on treating everyone at Jayco as family—from the factory to the front office, salespeople to suppliers, and customers to the community.

Blending Old World Amish craftsmanship with innovative technology, Jayco is the nation's largest family-owned and operated RV manufacturer today. Every unit built is still guided by Lloyd's vision and a desire to help make it easier for families to explore together and relax together. This commitment separates Jayco from other RV manufacturers and continues to make Jayco America's Most Liveable RVs.
