- In this video Susan and I tour and review 3 Jayco Class C Motorhomes that are all 2024 models. All three of these Jayco RVs are under 30 feet long!
If you have ever wondered if Jayco makes a Class C motorhome or which Class C motorhome is best for beginners, then this video will answer all your questions.
In this video, we tour and review the top of the line Jayco Class C RVs listed below:
0:00 Intro
1:07 Jayco Redhawk SE 22A
14:55 Jayco Melbourne 24L
26:31 Jayco Greyhawk 27U
Hi Everyone,
We hope you enjoyed our video! Which small Class C by Jayco did you like best? Do you prefer a travel trailer, motorhome or 5th wheel? Please say hello by leaving a comment below and sharing your opinion about these RV floor plans.
The cabinet with grommet that has a hole in it is for a CPAP machine hose.
@@robinmann5626 we thought it was for a CPAP. Thank you for confirming.
@@robinmann5626 Ahhh....why didn't I think of that! Thanks for letting me know!
Re: Bedroom windows, YES! If the weather is good, the more open windows the better!
Agree, can't have too many windows. Might need some reflective material if it's at the head of the bed if you get the morning sun. Unless you're an early riser😂. Thanks Erin!
You do an excellent job of showing the RVs!
Thank you so much. So glad you find our videos helpful! We appreciate your support!
I really appreciate your views and walkthroughs very informative 💯
Thank you so much for the kind words. We love being able to share and learn with the RV community. Thank you for watching our RV tour videos and commenting. We appreciate your support!
Thanks Mike and Susan…….ya gotta LOVE the Class C’s
You know it! Always love the ease and convenience of a Class C! Thanks Kevin!!!
I would rather have recliners than the dinnett.
After hiking its nice to relax with your feet up.
Have you ever done videos on truck campers?
I would be interested in those as well.
Which do you prefer to drive the A or C
Great video!
I'm with you about the recliners vs dinette! We have made a few videos about truck campers th-cam.com/video/btsdQlrSblY/w-d-xo.html this is one. We have another coming out in a couple weeks. The Class C was certainly easier to drive )at first) esp since it's much smaller. There is a lot more planning involved when we drive the A when it comes to roads, gas stations etc. Overall, we love both very much but for different reasons. 😂
@@RVBlogger thank you. I did watch the truck camper video very nice. If you were go to recommend an RV for your wife to travel solo which would you pick for her. Thank you
@@tinacathey8241 we would recommend a 24' Class C without slide outs. That length is easy to drive (even on city streets) and fits in any campground on state park. It is not intimidating to drive at all. The "no slide outs" is because though they offer more living space, they also will require maintenance or even break. As a solo RVer I don't think you would need the additional space as much. With a motorhome that size you can still tow a 2 door Jeep Wrangler. So now you could have separate transportation. And there is usually a great deal of storage in this size Class C, unlike a Class B where there is no storage. We also recommend getting it inspected (even new) by a third party inspector (not the dealership) to guarantee everything is good. And getting an extended warranty (3rd party not dealership) is a great idea, though it's a big out of pocket expense. As a solo female RVer, you'll want the added protection of a warranty for when things break and they will. We call a mobile tech, get the job done and only pay a $200 deductible versus $1,000s. I know this was a lot of information so please feel free to ask any other questions. Hope this is helpful.
Maybe its just me? I have an intense dislike of slideouts.❤
Ditto. They make me very uneasy.
I don't like them either.
When they work - they are awesome but when they do not it's expensive.
I don’t like them and plan on never having them.
We love ours!
Thanks Mike and Susan. Your videos are always great.
Thank you so much! We truly appreciate your support!💚💛
You are always in my feed. I think because I always watch your videos. Love how you measure spaces and are articulate. Not sure what took me so long to subscribe but BOOM! I did it...Thanks for the well informed videos.
Thank you so much for the kinds words and subscribing! We love being able to share this information with our RV community and it's brings us such joy to know we can be helpful. We appreciate your support!💛💚
Saved the best for last I liked the last option the most. It made the most sense.
The Jayco Greyhawk 27U is a great floor plan. Love all the storage in the bedroom! Thanks MadeUpLikeADoll!
@@RVBlogger You’re welcome ☺️ You’re channel is not only informative but entertaining. I will be an educated shopper when I go in to purchase my very first RV/Camper.
Favorite is the Melbourne
Yes! A walk around bed in a motorhome 25' long is awesome! Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
Love the look of the Greyhawk 27U until you get to the bathroom, the 14" step up is a killer for someone like me that has bad knees and balance issues. Keep up the great videos and look forward to the next one.
Completely agree! That was a huge step up and not easy for some! Thank you so much for your support!
I really like the JAYCO Melbourne 24L! Too numerous to write all my likes but, I love a window in the bathroom and the curved curtain shower, Nice roomy bath! The slide 'walk around bed' is what I'd need, don't particularly like corner beds! Yes, I'd add shelves to the bathroom cabinet, also love the mirrored chest, pull spice, etc rack, and overhead storage places also underneath the bed, but alas, the interior wood color I'd change to a cute honey brown! 👍♥️👏
We loved the Melbourne too! You can't beat a walk around bed in a motorhome thats 25'. Jayco did a great job. Thank you for your support!💛💚
You guys do such a nice job.
Thank you so much!! We feel so blessed to love what we do and be able to share this information to help others! Thank you for your support! 💚💛
Hi Mike and Susan! Great video. My likes are the second Jayco and the Greyhawk. I liked the size if the bedrooms and the closets/ wardrobe space and the bigger microwaves. I love both the dinettes and bunks. Thank you Mike and Susan. Hope you both have a great week.
Definitely prefer the bed situation in the Melbourne and Greyhawk. Not a fan of the corner bed in the Redhawk. Jayco did a great job with floor plan and features convenience. Hope you have a great week too! Thanks Sheri!
@@RVBlogger
I agree with you on Jayco doing a better job on the Greyhawk and Melbourne.
i love the layouts, but for putting my kids in seats, I want a bench seat that is not in the slide and facing forward/backward not side to side to buckle them in. I feel like the slide in any crash would just become a mess.
I'm so glad they have included the car seat tether in motorhomes now. (Back in my day we didn't even wear seatbelts...let alone a car seat 🤣). Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
All three are awesome! 👍
It’s a 39 minute video, posted 16 minutes ago and you posted 13 minutes in. Color me impressed! 😂
@@Erin-Thor probably watches like we do at 2x's the normal speed 😂
So glad you like them all. Nice variety of floor plans. Thank you for watching and commenting. We appreciate your support!
@@Erin-Thor Lol. I watch the videos at a faster speed and was trying to help them with the TH-cam algorithm. 😉
@@RoadtrippinwithTakacs - I do too, I just found it interesting you liked all three before you watched all three. 👍🏾🥰👍🏼
Mike why worry about the elbow room ? People read everything on their phones no more newspapers 😂😂😂😂
😂 Very true. I think an outlet might be more important! Can't have low battery when you need it the most!🤣
😂😂@@RVBlogger
Thanks Susan and Mike, great video. What I mean is great camera work, editing and commentary. Personally I would not buy a new Thor product so . . . .I just looked at 18 acres of really nice wooded land that is 176k. I'd do that before a Thor product. Maybe something used, 3 or 4 years old, maybe. Not new. Keep up the great work and stay safe out there. I watched this one because I like to support your channel. Also also, none of them have a proper food prep area in the kitchen area.
Thank you Tuvia! We always appreciate your support! 💚💛 We encourage buying used all the time. (But get an inspection and an extended warranty). You avoid that initial depreciation and get a great deal. Btw, 18 wooded acres sounds amazing! How peaceful! 😍
love window headboard.
That's a really nice feature!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Mike
The power and the hole in the cabinets above the bed is for CPAP users. Yes of course you can use it with other things, charging a tablet etc.
We thought that was probably designed for a CPAP. Thank you! And thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
In the bedroom of the 24L the plug in the overhead cabinet would be for a C-pap
We thought that was probably why. Thank you. And thank you for watching our RV tour videos and commenting. We appreciate your support!
I prefer the 27U because I want a walk around bed. I don't know how well I would like that folded mattress, though. If I couldn't feel the fold, it would be OK. I would prefer one big kitchen sink but having a divided sink isn't a deal beaker for me.
I think the fold wouldn't be felt as much since there seemed to be a thin layer of mattress still attached. Agree with you about the single vs double bowl sink. Thank you for watching our RV tour videos and commenting. We appreciate your support!
The plug and hole in the cabinet over the bed are for a CPAP
We kinda thought that was the possibility. Thank you for responding and thank you for watching our RV tour video. We appreciate your support!
We have the 2019 Jayco Redhawk (24B?) and wish they had installed the tile backsplash around the stove, and find the location of the toilet impossible to use with the door closed, so we have to make accommodations when anyone is using it. I love all the storage we have but the door closing mechanisms had to be reinforced as the doors open up when driving. Our shower is bigger and taller, required for my 6’5” husband. Overall I’m pretty happy with our choice after scaling down from a 40’ Itasca.
I'm sure that had to be a big adjustment from 40'! We have the bathroom door issue with our Class C. I had to leave every time Mike had to go to the bathroom 🤣! That's a shame you had to reinforce the doors! Despite all that, I'm glad you are enjoying your Redhawk. Thank you for sharing your experience! And thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
Double bowl is what we like
A double bowl has its advantages. We put our dish drain in the second bowl. Thank you for watching our RV tour videos and commenting. We appreciate your support!
@@RVBlogger Single bowl is better
@@klega2000 a single bowl is great for washing larger dishes that is for sure! Thank you!
I'd go for the first one, smaller and practical for one person which I am!
The Redhawk is a great floor plan. I love the modification they made to make the bathroom more comfortable! Thanks Britt!
The Greyhawk is pretty perfect. I would opt for a one bowl sink though, and have extra counter space. Two bowls are not necessary. Thanks Mike.
Agree about the sink. If it's too small it's too awkward. Thank you for your support!
How much does it cost for the Greyhawk 24 ft .motor home
Can I do a trade in pickup truck and then make monthly payments until it's all payed off give me a price could you on second hand Greyhawk or Redhawks jayco Redhawks do you have any with a washer an dryer
@@user-tv8st6gu8t the Greyhawk in this video is almost 30' and the MSRP is around $168k.
@@user-tv8st6gu8t sorry we are not RV sales people. We tour and review a variety of RV floor plans for those looking to buy RVs. We are for research only.
My favorite was the Jayce Greyhawk, however there are two things I would change in it to entice me to buy it. I would change the trifold sofa out to theater seating, and put a televator across from it with a 40”tv.
A televator is such a smart design. A trifold sofa will definitely increase your sleeping options. Both great mods. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
Thank you for talking about whether or not the slide out would impede the use of the rv. That's one of my biggest complaints about slides.
You are welcome blessedveteran! We tried to include that information in some of our newer tours. Thank you!💛💚
Loved the RedHawk just right for me and the price isn’t to bad . I like the layout, big fridge but I would have to have an oven .
Glad you liked the Redhawk. An oven is pretty important to some, understandable. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
Mike and Susan, would love to see a review of the Entegra Odyssey 30Z
Ok. If we spot one in our travels we check it out. Thank you for the suggestion. And thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
We own the Melbourne and LOVE it. However, ours has the recliners instead of the dinette and we do not really care for those. It is perfect for two people, yet roomy enough that if our grown children camp with us there is room. We have quite a few storage hacks that make it more usable for us. We do have a foam mattress topper on it as the folding mattress was uncomfortable to us.
So glad you love your Melbourne. I think the factory recliners can be less comfortable...our isn't comfy! Same goes with the mattress. We replaced our Class C mattress with a Tochta mattress and love it. They make special sizes and cuts, we love that about them. We are about to receive a Brooklyn Bedding mattress for our Class A...we'll keep you posted! Thank you for sharing your experience for others to read. We appreciate your support!💚💛
I do not like that LARGE Step to get in and of the shower! I can just imagine trying to step out of there with wet feet! 😳
I do Love the large front window in the bunk, that gives a wonderful open feel.
Agree with both. That step is dangerous, esp with wet feet! Love that large window. Really helps to bring the outside in. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
How big are the tanks, does it have an arctic package, what size is the fridge ?
Hello👋. Our tours typically cover the RVs floor plan and basic features. We don't go too in depth since we tour 3 RVs in each video and don't want the video to be too long. Our hope is that if someone sees a floor plan they like they can check out the manufacturers website for other details. Thank you for watching our RV tour videos and commenting. We appreciate your support!
Ya me too
27U: Window for a headboard means you have to lean against the window if you want to sit up in bed to read. Reading lights are useless unless you can sit up.
Great point! We have a window at the head of the bed in our Class C and do not like it. On a hot summer morning we are roasting. 🥵 Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
In the second one, is the hole in the cabinet large enough for a c pac hose? I am not a fan of slides. Maybe a swallow one.
We think it was designed for a C-Pap machine. Understandable about the slides. They offer a lot more living space but also more maintenance! Thank you for watching our RV tour videos and commenting. We appreciate your support!
Where are the sink covers. I like the double sink. I like the window headboard for the light. If someone wants it dark, they can get blackout curtains. I love the 27U. I have for 8 years. It’s perfect for a female solo traveller who loves to do crafts. I could have a craft buddy with me. Is the toilet still porcelain? Thank you for not getting rid of the oven. I might be confused but I thought with the mattress having to fold that it was up by the pillow area. Is there a door for the bedroom? I hope this model still has auto levelling. That emptying the tanks is a simple process. It was at one time that the only options for this motor home had to do with the batteries and solar. Nowadays I think solar is important to have.
Thank you to Mike and Susan for your videos.
Sometimes, at RV shows, the sink covers are not in the RV for display. The toilet is still porcelain. There is a sliding barn door at the bedroom. Solar has it's value even if it's an overnight stay at a Cracker Barrel! Glad you like the Jayco Greyhawk floor plan. It definitely has some great features. Thank you for watching our RV tour videos and commenting. We appreciate your support!
With the slide out in, can you access the bathroom? what does it look like with the slide out in?
Yes, in all 3 motorhomes you can access the bathroom with the slides in. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
Large single bowl sink!
Pretty nice!
Any RV with a folding bed or a gigantic full wall slide-out is a no-go for me. so two of these are a deal breaker. I like the Jayco Redhawk (especially the outside storage) but it doesn't have enough kitchen space to comfortably cook.
Those are all fair points. The Redhawk does have limited kitchen space. There is always something that gets a bit of sacrifice. Thank you for watching our RV tour videos and commenting. We appreciate your support!
RV BLOGGER Matrix moment, 15:45 Mike is narrating inside but also walking outside!
Is it a glitch in the Matrix or did I clone him?! 😂
@@RVBlogger If you did clone him will we now get two videos a week?
@@josephfoster1445 you'll have to clone me too!😂 (editor)
@@RVBlogger True! Not a bad thing... You guys are the best!
@@josephfoster1445 thank you! We always appreciate your support! 💛💚
We always need to know cargo carrying capacity. The cabinet over the bed with outlet and hole is for a CPAP machine. That "spice rack" is the pantry.
It's not easy to find the CCC of a motorhome. Manufacturers do not list that information on their website. We thought that was the reason for the hole in the cabinet. Thank you for watching our RV tour videos and commenting. We appreciate your support!
The CCC should be listed on one of the three doors to a class C. I would not buy an RV that would be overweight with more than two people, one dog, a full tank of gas and half tank of water (without yet adding food, clothes, grill, etc.). And, that could be a problem if the CCC was only ~1,700 pounds, which is often the case for today's equipment- and slide-loaded RVs. If a wreck occurred, the insurance company would be all over that, looking for an excuse not to pay.
I have to admit, though, that my idea of camping is a microwave (not a tent). However, I can do without the slides.
Thank you to the builders for continuing to move away from absorption refrigerators (I had the Norcold fire). @@RVBlogger
@@terrysandiego unfortunately not all RVs will include that sticker of information...drives us crazy! I completely understand about the lack of CCC being a deal breaker and a huge risk. I guarantee 90% of all RVs are over their GVWR! We have an absorption fridge in our 2008 Class C. We have to drive out onto the road to level up and plug the RV in overnight to get the fridge cold by morning!😫
Like it except it needs it has to have an oven like the two bass sink
An oven is a nice feature to have in a motorhome. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
You left out their newest model: the Granite Ridge II. An EKko clone with some significant upgrades from the Ekko
We actually included the Granite Ridge 22T in this video th-cam.com/video/kc57ozhu30M/w-d-xo.html all about motorhomes with twin beds. Jayco did a great job with that floor plan! Thank you for watching our RV tour videos and commenting. We appreciate your support!
On the first one, it looked nice but totally disliked the front bed area. No windows at all! I have to have at least one window on every side!
That's reasonable. I enjoy the natural lighting and cross breeze too! Thank you for watching our RV tour videos and commenting. We appreciate your support!
That's me too, I like a window in the cab over!
Camp queen beds for the most part, are too short for me since I’m 6’ 2”. Most RV beds are too short for me
Hi Lawrence,
Check out this video we made for taller folks looking for trailers:

Don’t like the window in bedroom for headboard.
Can get pretty hot on a warm summer morning! 🥵. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
That is what we have in the Jayco Redhawk (2019) and it gets bloody cold on a fall evening… Since it’s our emergency exit there is no solution that would work.
@@ABirdWoman We bought a roll of reflective material and put it on our window to help with heat and cold. It's temporary so we can take it down during the day if we want the sunlight or view. Here's a link to our blog post. (That's me in the picture 🤣) rvblogger.com/blog/rv-window-insulation/
Me too dont like slide outs
They offer so much more living space but are a nightmare when they break! Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
Single bowl sink
Seems to be what most people like...
Thanks for sharing your comment!
Mike
t least they have the 12v fridge. Now they need to move on to the induction cooktop.
Hi Janice,
We have an induction cooktop and a two burner gas stove. We only ever use the gas cooktop. I even unplugged the induction cooktop. Have you ever cooked on an induction cooktop stove before? Any advantages or disadvantages?
Thanks,
Mike
@@RVBlogger I have cooked on an induction cooktop and can’t tell any difference from an electric cooktop. My main interest in the portable cooktop for a class c or small travel trailer, which I have, is more counter space for a coffee pot, toaster, etc. Plus, you can use a portable induction cooktop outside.
@@janicecrockett1400 I (Susan) agree that a portable induction cooktop is great for creating more counter space. And creating more usable space is super important.
great 2 air conditioners
2 A/Cs are definitely better than one!
I don’t like that the newer RVs are all electric.. having a propane fridge when traveling is essential unless you want to carry extra batteries… no dry camping.
The absorption (propane) fridge is great for traveling and boondocking. It would be nice him manufacturers could always offer both options.
Instead of measuring the beds just lay down on it. We know you are 5’11” so we know about how big it will be.
Great point! I might have a hard time getting him up!😂
@@RVBlogger never thought of that. Lol
@@RVBlogger We need to measure everything, that's why I loved your channel

@@bagelsandmash Mike grew up in the Randallstown area - high school in Carroll County, UMBC. I grew up in Pasadena, Salisbury U. We currently own a home in Pasadena. Don't recall the Charm City Comedy Club.
Need solar
What for?
In the Jayco Redhaw, I would store paper plates, napkins or paper towels in the compartment above the microwave.
That's a great idea! Thanks for the suggestion. We appreciate your support!
I would download your TH-cam videos and store them above the microwave. I suspect it's intended for table setting
Jayco well 1. Nope 2. Mercedes really big no 3.Ford / yes No they have to do better on the overhead bed? 4. Nope. Ok we are small 5'7 and 5'1 so we need our microwave on the bottom and we like the twin Ricky and Lucy beds! In a Class C
I can tell you are not a Jayco fan 😂. Have you check out our video about motorhomes with twin beds. We love this option! th-cam.com/video/6Ltr4DaIdFQ/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/kc57ozhu30M/w-d-xo.html Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
Do people really like this type of beds? You have to crawl in and out of them so I would never buy this kind of set up. First thing I would do is remove that bed frame and replace it with a twin size bed. Other than that I like the layout on number one
I don't think anyone really likes them but they do allow you to fit features nicely in a small Class C. We have one in ours (no slides) and not a big fan. Thought about modifying it but we have a great deal of storage under the bed that we would lose. You win some you lose some! Thanks BarTGila!
Know i dont like the window foŕ a headboard i just dont like it
Same here👍. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
Cpap
I don't know why you wrote Cpap but I'm guessing I mis spoke somewhere in the video?
Decent video guys. Still, could do w a little less about drawers or time on storage item ideas and hear about the coach more, feels like a miss. Fuel tank size is more important to me then where a baking sheet may go or opening 5drawers of equal size ! Always good to see you both 🎩
We understand. Sorry we don't deviate from the format when it comes to motorhomes. If we ever consider changing to one RV per video we would include more details. We do appreciate your support!💛💚
@RVBlogger Hey guys ! I understand your logic and respect your format fully. Maybe I've just been watching too long ! Keep on keeping on !
@@petepaul615 I can see where the format can be dull to some of our loyal subscribers. Don't give up on us. 😂
