WHAT ONE COSTS
—price not published

The maker never published an MSRP for this floorplan. Unknown is not cheap — treat any asking price against comparable models, not against zero.

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~13,150 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 11,925 lb + fresh water (51 gal, full) 425 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb. Brochure dry weight omits water, propane, batteries and your gear; this estimate doesn't.

You want a tow rating around14,615 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)13,950 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~1,759 lb (13%)
Cargo capacity2,025 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS — 20 OF 95

Judged the way the app judges: estimated loaded weight against each vehicle's rating less a 10% margin — per model year, because the 40LOFT's published weights changed mid-run.

FINDING ONE

Common — usually several for sale within a day’s drive. Why: Jayco is a volume manufacturer; 9-year production run. Estimated from build volume and production span — not a count of live listings.

THE READ

The plan that made the Bungalow famous — a full second-storey loft over the bedroom, two A/Cs and eight berths on a single-level site.
