2021 Jayco Jay Feather Micro 166FBS Off Road Single Axle Travel Trailer at Southern RV McDonough, GA

[@LetsJustGoTravel]

We have this same trailer and have spent over 45 nights in it and towed almost 10000km. Works amazing so far. Been to lots of awesome boondocking off-grid sites and the trailer has held up great! We have a review video up on our channel.

Wish you’d show the usability with the slide closed… For bathroom breaks or overnight at Crack Barrel where you can’t open the slide

[@Southern_RV]

Thanks for watching Luc! In this model you can access pretty much all of the RV with the slide closed.

[@goodbonezz1289]

Great video! Probably the best small RV I’ve seen. I’d definitely get the oven, and as much solar as possible.

[@Southern_RV]

We agree!

[@brycekidd8999]

My wife and I just bought one of these and we love it! On a side note, if you get this, you need a specific adapter to connect the black stone grill that DOES NOT come with the RV. We found out to our disappointment on our first camping trip.

[@Southern_RV]

That's interesting Bryce, ours had all the proper hook ups!

[@brycekidd8999]

@@Southern_RV I guess I should rephrase my post to double check that your unit has the proper hookups before your first trip.

[@Southern_RV]

This is great advice for new campers! Also, make sure you see everything in working order at the dealership during your walk through!

Bought one about two weeks ago. Pros: Tires Ground clearance Solar Storage Jackknife sofa Large tanks Entrance steps Build quality Cons: No rear hitch for bike rack Small kitchen sink

[@Southern_RV]

Thanks for the comment Wes! Glad you like the RV. Have you looked at the Jack-It bike rack that goes over the tongue jack? Might reduce that con list!

[@wes326]

@@Southern_RV Good idea but we are going with a rack that attaches to the ladder. They may have not included a receiver hitch because people might load up a cargo carrier and throw the balance off. Still frustrating, a lot of people already have receiver bike racks.

Nice trailer. Perfect for me and the wife. Hopefully you'll get them back in stock eventually! I'm local, so I'll definitely stop by and check it out in person.

[@Southern_RV]

Hi Danny, thanks for watching! We have one (just one) on the way. It is scheduled to roll off the factory floor on Wed. July 28. It then has to be moved to a transport yard and shipped to us, so we don't have an exact ETA yet. All that said, if you are truly interested in it, the best plan would be to pass off your info to our sales team so that they can let you know when it gets here. Or even better yet, put a hold deposit on it so that you have first right of refusal!

[@aliciababcock-raposo8259]

We have a Jayco popup and have done renovations, but are ready to get a hard-sided camper. This is the first one that has EVERYTHING we both want and its not huge! Im glad it doesnt come with an oven, I also dont need the microwave, but I guess we can store the bread in it :) Im hoping this is available when we are closer to making a decision since it is at the top of our list!

Hey Barry! I’m set on this trailer but is there any wiggle room when it comes to negotiating? I’m hoping to score 1 for closer to 20-21k

[@Southern_RV]

It’s unfortunately not that likely to be out the door at $21k. COVID has done a number on the RV industry. On one hand we had plant closures and parts shortages compounded with shipping issues. On the other hand it’s made a much larger segment of the US population interested in RVing. Those two things combined have brought about numerous new buyers leaving very little available new inventory. Your best bet at buying it close to your price point is to buy soon. The manufacturers have notified us that prices are going up on new incoming inventory. Give our sales team a call at 770-477-0552 and have them put together a quote!

[@bulldawg2764]

[@Southern_RV]

@@Murphy326 many of the manufacturers are also experiencing supply chain issues right now due to COVID. So it's not uncommon for us to see minor model year changes in addition to other substitutions due to availability.

Hi Dagwood, thanks for watching. We don't manufacturer this trailer, we're just presenting it here to give people an informed look at available RV's on today's market. So that said, we aren't in charge of QC when it comes down to the final product.

[@Southern_RV]

Hey T M! Thanks for watching! Unfortunately, a roof top tent will not work due to the AC unit and other components in the way on the roof. Bikes, kayaks, skis, sky boxes and canoes will fit however. A tent would be a little too large for the rack system.

could you recommend some affordable SUV(new) that can tow it? Tow rating 5000lb? assuming regular luggage load for two persons

[@Southern_RV]

We're no auto dealer, but the vehicles we see commonly towing these types of trailers are the Toyota 4Runner, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and the Chevrolet Tahoe. All tow at least 5000 lbs. and the Grand Cherokee is the least expensive with a base MSRP of $32,795.

[@Southern_RV]

The Nissan Pathfinder may not be a bad choice either starting at $31,980 with a towing capacity of 6,000 lbs.

[@rogerhunter6641]

Can I pull this unit with my jeep wrangler 6 cylinder 4 wheel drive?

[@Southern_RV]

The Wrangler does not have the tow capacity to legally tow this camper. The 166FBS has an average dry weight of 4,035 lbs and Wranglers typically only tow between 2,000 and 3,500 lbs depending on how they are equipped.

Thanks for watching Cavok! The AC is definitely in the way of big things, but there is room for a canoe or kayak, or even a couple of bikes. Another popular thing to install in that space would be a rooftop cargo box.
