These Feather Micro ultralite campers by Jayco RV are so much fun the way the "slip in between" so many other campers out there. If you're looking for the features of a big tandem axle camper but you just cannot or don't want to tow something 5,000lbs or more, then THESE are absolutely ideal for you!
They're bigger than most single axles, but they include the space and storage most small RVs simply cannot match PLUS an enclosed underbelly with the largest fresh tank I've ever seen in something this size and class!

That sofa looks like the best to me. I could do a movie night on that. It is cute. I like that it is in front of the tv. I love the storage and the power tower. I think they should use your suggestion for the curtain. I love the fan. I love the decor. I love the air conditioner. I love the lighting. I love the swivel trays. I love the table. They may end up stealing my purchase from GoPro when i retire. I love the cubes. I love the space behind the entertainment improvement. I wouldn’t want the oven but would rather have the convection instead. They would become my footstool. Lol I love the bathroom. I don’t mind the curtain in the bathroom. I didn’t see you mention the fridge. I will watch again. I love the bracket on the steps. I love the tube. I love that the bottom is enclosed. Gotta love that solar. My feet are small. How often are you really on the roof? It even looks fantastic. Excellent video.

I think they hit it out of the park with this one. I would add the second solar panel. They may should think about making the solar panels where they could tilt to one direction or the other. and instead of the roof rack, make a rack for the rear that can fold up or be removed. But all in all it is a nice camper. Looks like it would work great for a small family.

I bought a 2022 unit in Feb. '22 & I absolutely love it. It's a perfect couples camper and also a great beginner camper. I agree no oven needed in such a small rig. It has tons of storage. I love the interior design as well. I plan to add a movable solar panel for times when we want to camp in the shade to stay cool so I'm glad they have a hookup port for that already. We haven't had any problems with it except the sofa arms came loose. All systems and equipment are working fine. Thanks for this thorough review!

The storage cube ottoman things are a great idea, and extend the functionality of the "dinofa" approach wonderfully. As for ovens, it makes sense that you might normally stock them without, but I do think it should be an available option, especially given the off-grid targeting of the large fresh water tank. We could just barely see it at the edge of your shot there, but it appears the solar charge controller was moved in just a smidge since last year so it's now accessible with the slide closed, which I recall griping about on last year's video, so cool!

Excellent review as always. Only things you missed were the optional Jay Command, which adds some really cool features like remote control lighting, dimmable main and awning lighting, tire pressure monitoring, HVAC remote control, tank monitoring and ability to open and close the slide and awning remotely from paired phone or tablet. The other neat feature is the center sofa backrest section folds down to make an armrest and has cupholders, too.

Really nice job on that by Jayco, camping requires adjustments and sacrifices if you want to camp places that let you explore and enjoy the great outdoors. The bed and shower are doable adjustments for me in order to get a little farther out in the wilderness. It seems RVs suffer from the same thing pickups do, once utilitarian they have become luxury money makers for the companies. I prefer something a little simpler and with less things to fail.

Josh, thanks for closing the slides like you always do.....very appreciated! Really neat little trailer! I like the bed direction, leaves more living area space. I wish it did have a oven though. I like making home made rolls and bread (and eating them also) I don't think it would be too hard to retrofit one in though. I always worry though with that kind of sofa. If I wanted to do a replacement it would be a bear!. I like the two ottoman storage boxs....great idea! I would love this about 4ft longer with the dual axle. Also, a better shower arrangement would be good also. Overall.....this would make a great boondocker for a solo or a couple! Love the huge fresh water tank. Only problem if it's full it almost cuts the CCC in half. Thank you Josh for another good video!

Have loved this model since it came out, and I think you're exactly right that it falls squarely between a GeoPro/E-Pro and the Rockwood 2109. And, yes, a twin axle Jay Feather Micro model with a walk-around bed would be awesome...but also pretty much just copy of the 2109. Even better would be a twin axle Jay Feather Micro 199MBS with a walk around bed and with an access door in the rear behind the double bunks in that model...now THAT would be awesome. As for this model, I like the couch color, but not a fan of the "farmhouse" white cabinets. Don't know why they don't just make the curtain store alongside the TV cabinet instead of over by the slide...that would just make more sense. I love the storage cubes that double as footstools, which was a really innovative change from the original under bed drawers in the first iteration of this camper. I do wish it had an oven option as well as an enclosed shower, and the narrow bed is a REAL problem for this model, but I think the biggest shortcoming of the JFM line altogether is the lack of the ShowerMiser. Finally, c'mon Jayco...include a quality made table and not a folding table that looks like it came out of an industrial building's breakroom!!!

For a solo traveler the bed is fine. But for a couple, hard no. Someone has to crawl over the other. And unless both are small, a double is pretty tight. The rest looks great!

I would opt up for 2 items on this. 1 the glass shower enclosure. The added weight wouldn't make much of a difference to 1/2 ton capable vehicles. 2 30# propane tanks. 20# tanks last a while but 2 30# tanks last longer. So many more things could be added to make this one hell of a bug out trailer.

Ok Josh you mentioned a camper like this with that walk around queen bed..what ya got cause i love this lil guy the lay out is perfect.

Love everything about this trailer except the bed. I guess being so small there was no other option except the crawl over bed. I don't want my wife to have to crawl over me in the night to get to the bedroom. Other wise I'd buy this trailer. Keep up the good work Josh.

Tandem axle would be nice for the CCC. I don't care about having a walk around bed. In fact, as a single, the bed that's there is just fine. And I like the cube ottomans. I'd ditch the couch though and put in a tall counter top with storage shelves underneath and add a couple of comfy bar-stools. It'd work great for eating or as a work table/desk. They should put in a flexible shower curtain rod to get the curtain away from your body and then add a magnetic strip around the inside of the bottom of the shower and put in a shower curtain with magnets in the bottom to prevent water from getting out and help keep the shower curtain from coming into the shower and sticking to you. Love the way they did the solar and the brush bars and the steps. I'd buy one of these if the price was right. (And then make those modifications...lol)

I know you mentioned the walk around bed not being important, but try these two: → Rockwood: bit.ly/3CpYtdw → Coachmen: bit.ly/2XqDBU8 They'll get you the tandem axles with a similar layout!

@@JoshtheRVNerd I do like the Rockwoods (several models), this coachman...meh. Not so much. TBH, I'd be thrilled if I could find a light weight tandem axle with a high CCC that has the kitchen, bathroom, and solar....and the rest left wide open so I could finish it to meet my needs. As a writer, I need a good desk area for my computer, printer, etc... and as an artist I need a work bench and storage areas for paints, brushes, paper, canvases, clay, tools, etc... I know, I know...buy a cargo trailer and convert it....but my bad back can't do all that heavy total build stuff. LOL

Could they have fit a full queen in if they made the slide smaller and slid everything 6" to the back? I know that would make the kitchen smaller but it's just a thought. On the other hand it's perfect for solo campers or cuddly couples. If you don't like cuddling anymore throw one on the sofa. Lol I think with little rigs like these most owners would like to be less dependent on campgrounds and hookups so I'd rather see a stove/oven rather than microwave. You could always get a generator if you needed to run the a/c. A second solar panel and battery could surely handle the rest. Love the nerf style bars all around it too.

Cool! Love the 2022 stylings! We love our 166fbs and can’t recommend it enough. Some people have asked if there are things we don’t like about it. Only a couple minor issues: -the position of roof gutters drips right onto the nerf bars when it rains. It can get really loud and makes it hard to sleep sometimes. -the sewer hose holder in the back is practically the lowest point on the camper and we’ve scraped it a couple times backing into boondocking spots. We’ve since just removed it and keep the hose in the bed of the truck. Amazing camper otherwise! We’ve gone all over western Canada with this. It was actually your first prototype video that convinced us to buy it. Thanks Josh you rock !

We love ours, but a few things I would change. The fresh water fill in on the passenger side for some reason, should be on the driver side rear. The pantry door does not open up all the way due to a trim piece. The driver side storage door should have a fastener, not just a lock. The tv latch leaves a lot to be desired. Otherwise I think it's the perfect trailer for us.
