Cut Above Luxury Series!! 2022 Eagle 284BHOK

[@EBKRV412]

This rig WAS top on my families list for our next rig to purchase (and most likely from Haylett) but now it wouldn't even be on any list as that 2nd door is gone for bedroom access. Been RVing a lifetime and over 20 years with my own family now and that bedroom access for packing, roadside stops, and slide failure access is an absolute must for us. For this price point I personally think this was the worst decision Jayco could have ever made with this unit. Now we crossed Jayco off this list completely for now unless they go back to the 2 door access.

[@rhutchski]

I really love the light-colored look of The Farmhouse look. It really lightens and brightens the entire inside and makes it look more welcoming, inviting and cleaner.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I do agree. It works REALLY well with a few customer-added pillows or throw blankets for a little "pop" of color as well But that Craftsman look has really grown on me quickly lately. I'm really split 50/50 Which one I like better varies a little bit by how it "works" on the floor plan

[@tedcharp]

I love everything they done but second door is a must. It wouldn’t stop me from getting one if I had a bigger truck. Love the floor plan and I’ll go with farmhouse. Thanks for sharing Josh👍👍

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Thx Ted!!

[@dianedenham5259]

I agree about you, Josh, can't understand why people wouldn't want a 2nd door. Safer and convenient. I like to shake my bedding out, easier than carrying it through the camper. And of course, for travel mode.

[@JandARVReviews]

We use our bedroom door for packing things up without moving the slide out. 👍

[@Murphy326]

We don’t like it when there’s a second door on most campers. As a security thing, the lady doesn’t like an entrance door in the bedroom and typically I think there can be more storage options if there’s not a second entrance door

[@JeremyAkersInAustin]

@@Murphy326 I don't get the security concern. The door deadbolts. And the law requires RVs to either include a door or to have some sort of emergency escape from the bedroom in case a fire (or slideout) blocks you into the bedroom in an emergency. That means if they remove the door they have to make one of those windows swing open as an emergency escape opening. Now which do you think is easier to break into? A metal deadbolted door or a glass window designed to pop all the way open for emergency access?

[@Murphy326]

@@JeremyAkersInAustin I guess as far as security is concerned, a door is much easier to get into than a window. The windows on the models we like are up higher and I don’t think it’s feasible for someone to break open and jump up into

[@Spoolingturbski]

I’d go with the Farm House decor, it really opens up and modernizes the coach. I really love the strong contrasts between the dark wood and white cabinetry. One thing I’d prefer available is the dark gray furniture from the American craftsman in the Farm House. Also what a beautiful trailer in the sunrise shot! Great Video Josh Thanks!

We have a White Hawk 29BH and I couldn't live without our 2nd (bedroom) door! We frequently have kids/grandkids and it really helps having both doors. Also, when we bought ours a year ago it came with the cheaper Capital Grille and we bought our own Blackstone. I'm bummed that now Blackstones come standard and ours just missed out on that... but glad we have one!

[@carlwooten6771]

I loved this trailer and wanted one for a long time. I finally was going to get one and one with the configuration I wanted. The store I had looking for it found one being built for another location and had it redirected for me. After paying the deposit I realized it would be a 2022. Their website had not updated yet so I figured not much would change. I saw a 2022 video posted and thought it was the wrong trailer because of the missing door. Turns out that wasn't the only change. I was so upset they change so many things that I was not made aware of. I still like my trailer but I would choose a 2021 over this one. This one is missing the bedroom door which has been a real pain. The outside TV storage that we loved is gone. The drop frame is gone and the front storage is less. Mine does not weigh less because of it and it is certainly not easier to hook up a weight distribution hitch. The hitch ball is now at the bottom of the frame which made my weigh safe distribution hitch almost not work. There is no small closet in the entry way anymore which would be great for shoes and jackets. Behind the TV is not convenient for that stuff. There is no power outlet on the kitchen wall anymore. The bathroom cabinets are blue with black trim which looks terrible in my opinion. And my bunks have no power outlets or USB's. These in this video looks like they have USB's. How is it possible that mine does not. I actually liked the built grill outside also. Now I have to store the bracket and grill in my smaller storage. Overall, I wish I had waited or was made aware of the changes. Camping World could not have been more difficult, uneducated or less friendly to work with. They then couldn't have cared less about the changes we and they didn't know about. Very disappointed with the changes and buying experience. If anyone has a 2021 and likes tge 2022 more, let's talk.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I figured a few people would think this way about it. Appreciate you sharing. Hopefully you’re able to find what you seek

[@FarReach01]

That outdoor tv storage is soo much more. I can fit several full size fishing poles, camp chairs, ice maker, etc. Thats a bummer they lost that.

[@JeremyAkersInAustin]

I am in exactly the same boat. I saw Josh's video, and then looked at a 2021 and I was ready to buy. But then they told me that you could only order the 2022 models now, and when I actually saw a 2022 in person I was so disappointed for many of the same reasons you listed. I agree I would rather have that extra outdoor storage than a walk in pantry. I know they have those lips on there to keep things from falling, but stuff is still going to slide around like crazy on those shelves.

[@SmithFarmTilton]

Normally, I barely pay attention to model year changes, but the 284BHOK is at the top of the list as we are contemplating a larger trailer. I am incredibly disappointed that Jayco cheapened up the 284 by removing two of the top features that made it so great. 1) the exterior door into the master bedroom 2) the front drop frame that gave it the 'fifth wheel-like storage". I mean seriously..... what are they doing to this for 2023??? Delete the rear cargo door?? And it's not like they lowered the price to compensate. Did I mention how disappointed I am with Jayco ?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

[@JeremyAkersInAustin]

So glad to finally see the video for this floorplan. I also went and looked at one of these in person and I really have to say I was so disappointed with these 4 changes from the 2021 model: 1.) The elimination of the drop frame. That front pass through compartment on the 2021 model was 29 inches tall (and flat) all the way through. It was so nice. The hieght on the new 2022 model without the drop frame is only 20 inches tall. That's a loss of 9 inches! That's a huge difference. 2.) The elimination of the bedroom entry door. I do not buy the "people complained" argument. Why does every other Jayco trailer where the slideout blocks access to the main bedroom *still* have a 2nd door? And if it really was customer complaints, then why not just make it an option that people could choose to order without the door? 3.) They eliminated the storage above the sofa to make room for bigger windows. But why do I want bigger windows on the side of my trailer facing away from my campsite? I actually suspect this may be why they eliminated the 2nd entry door. Since these trailers are 0 degree rated, moving to bigger windows, which have very little R value, probably means they had to make up for that loss somewhere else. Since doors are the next biggest place for heat to be lost they probably had to eliminate the door to maintain their 0 degree rating. 4.) I haven't seen the 2021 model with leveling jacks, so I'm not 100% sure this was a "change", but I suspect the change in frame is what caused this: On the 2022 model with the auto leveling jacks: The front jacks stick down *really* far from the bottom of the unit. They extend 17 inches down from the bottom of the RV. That's just begging to get ripped off going over any kind of hump, or railroad tracks, or any kind of steep driveway entrance. My other theory on the 2nd bedroom door is that the change in frame moved things around in a way that the door (or the stairs underneath the door) would no longer fit. There's no way they removed it because people complained. Because by that logic they would have removed the master bedroom entry doors from the other half dozen or so floorplans that have one. I was literally in the process of reaching out to dealers and getting quotes to order one of these, but after looking at the 2022 model I decided to hold off. I *SO* wish I would have ordered a 2021 before these changes were made.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Appreciate all this. Seems to be in line with much of what others have stated Regarding the jacks: That's always been an option. Manual jacks are and have always been standard on these. Power jacks do remain an available option

[@JeremyAkersInAustin]

@@JoshtheRVNerd Hey Josh, appreciate the response. I think you may have misunderstood my comment about the jacks though. What I was saying is that, on the 2022 model I looked at, the power leveling jacks, which is an option I really wanted, hung down dangerously low to the ground even when they were fully retracted. I've owned five (5) different RVs over the years. Four of those were travel trailers (And one of those was an Eagle) but my current rig is a Jayco Seneca motorhome. One major reason for moving from a TT to a motorhome is because of how much of a pain it is to level a TT. Overall I prefer a TT to a motorhome because it's a lot less to maintain, but I've had to set up my TT in the rain enough times to realize how valuable it is to be able to level the coach without having to play "guess how many blocks I need to put under the tires" game. So when I saw that the Eagle's now had the option for power leveling jacks which could actually *level* the unit side to side, rather than just stabilize it (And that I could do this from my phone, while seated inside the comfort of my truck, or inside the coach), that's what made me really start looking at going back to a TT. But the fact that the front jacks protrude down 17 inches is just insane. Did the front jacks on the 2021 models stick down that far as well or did you guys just stick to the models with the stabilizer jacks vs the "auto leveling" jacks? My thinking is that the change to the "non-drop" frame may have negatively impacted where/how they mounted the jacks, but I never actually got to see a 2021 with the power auto level jacks so I'm not 100% sure.

That door is certainly thinner than the rest of the RV. There will be more of a temp swing there. Sort of like if you were sitting by the window in a restaurant on a cold day. You'll feel "okay" inside, but you'll know it's colder out there if that makes sense.

I prefer the theatre seating.🙂

🙋UK! spoiled by US style trailers from before we moved, and so planning to ship one out here...although they don't have black tank dump stations here......not sure what to do there - but we'll figure it out!

[@sarahebainbridge]

oh and love the tile on the first one you showed, but love the cabinets on the 2nd. they could go even whiter imo!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

really?! I did not realize that

[@johnnylusk3387]

Nice trailer. Better haircut! 😂 Seriously though I really like it just wish it had better travel access. We just bought a no slide because we have kids and worried about it.

[@AuntieEm30805]

This Craftsman decor is very relaxing. Wood tones are rich looking here. Too many of the old wood interiors looked cheap. I like it! But the slide trim looks to be another color. Too many.

[@robertsitch1415]

I know that pressed wood with fake grain was common on cheaper trailers in much of the late 20th century.

We just purchased this exact unit and picked it up on October 9th up in Alberta. Went with the American Farmhouse. Did not have the Blackstone griddle but came with a voucher and we ordered it. Supposed to arrive in January after they unpack it off that container ship..lol..Also we were quite disappointed that our 284BHOK didn't come with the ladder on the back as I notice the one in this vid is equipped with. Our dealer didn't seem to have an answer for us about getting one installed when they are in stock. Josh does Haylett do this? Maybe models destined for Canada were the ones that took the ladder shortage hit first ? We pulled the unit over to BC with our Titan Platinum diesel. It is rated as a half ton but pulls like a 5/8 ton. It towed beautifully. We love everything about this trailer and I think the lack of second bedroom entry gives it a sleeker look and some weight advantage also. Looking forward to many years of fun. Great Vid Josh. You funny guy!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

We *can* install one but I am not sure on Jayco’s policy of whether or not clients will receive an after the build install

[@danbrett7246]

@@JoshtheRVNerd Ok thanks. I guess I'll pack a folding ladder around as I have always done. I was so stoked to finally own a trailer equipped with one.

Do you have outlets on the kitchen counter?

@@nerdyeevideos1879 Our outlets are under the cabinet next to microwave. No outlets on back splash or counters.

One more question. We just picked up ours and brought it home. I have found that the jack cannot lift the camper to level without blocks. Do you have the same issue?

Farm house but with the other sofa style and with this u-shape dinette.

Growing up Farming I always thought. If I could just combine the attributes of our quality John Deere equipment with some of the good ideas of our neighbors IH red equipment, I'd have a perfect machine. My green planter needed the single large seed tank that the Red machine had. Todays green planters have it now. Our green combine needed the axial flow thresher of the red machine. The green combines have there version of it now. And now that I'm looking at travel trailers I'm running into a similar problem. With a family of 5. I really want/ need a bunk house. Yet while looking at different manufactures we find an awesome new concept to the bunk house in the Keystone Cougar 30BHS...The bunks are in the back, and the wife and I have bed room in front, with a king bed. Also the pass through bathroom concept works perfectly to give her the connected facilities she needs to get ready for her day with 3 boys in the house. Although after looking them over up close. It's very apparent the JAYCO eagle is a higher quality built unit. I just wish I could combine that cougar 30BHS floor plan on the Eagle HT and I'd buy one this second.....

Would this be towable with an f350 srw with the 7.3 gas?

Most likely. I generally refrain from definitive advisory without actual specs but generally speaking yeah -- that'll do it

My thoughts: I swear you just did a Rocky Horror reference a few days ago, but there's not anything wrong with that! Also I might be mistaken because I sometimes bounce around and watch an old video here and there, so who knows! I prefer the darker craftsman decor. Either way, it's quite the looker. Way out of my price and size range however! I like those plastic totes inside the cabinets under the dinette. That is a great idea, and if I end up with a trailer with those style cabinets, I'll try to source an appropriately sized plastic tote to provide that same functionality. Silfie! I'm glad I'm not alone in doing this. You know what my big one is? Suretainly. My brain mangles sure and certainly together. I say it all the time and people look at me like I have 3 heads. Also not alone with the ringing ears I see. Too many years of basement punk shows for me! I definitely appreciate that you go up on those roofs to show us around. I think you're right, I haven't seen anyone else do that.

Not good placement of heater vent right in front of the stove where you stand. I feel that would cause issues over time.

[@patriciahogan4705]

With only two adults camping and not being able to crawl into the bunk, I'd remove the top bunk and cut the bottom one in half length wise.

Hands down I would go with the Farmhouse decor and theater seating. I would also prefer the 280RSOK since I don't need the extra sleeping capacity. I also don't know why the 2nd door was eliminated. It's a blank wall anyway.

[@philipraithel2700]

I like the craftsmen over the farmhouse, but still dislike the transition of cabinets to the entertainment center. I don't like the mismatched cabinets look in the smaller room of an RV. Personal preference would be the regular sofa and queen bed for more walk-around room. Also like the rain blocker fan. Great options. With no access to bedroom without the door would be a no go for us, need the turtle friendly access, but would almost prefer a smaller kitchen counter to gain bedroom access than a 2nd door.
