It also features both A-frame and roof-mounted solar prep, so a customer has the opportunity to go more “off-grid.” There is a camp-side exterior baggage door that will house the optional exterior grill or it will fit a standard size porti-potty, which I know is a nice added feature. are protected from the elements & road debris. We’re very proud of the fact that we’re putting American-made tires on all of our Jayco travel trailer and Fifth Wheel brands as they carry the highest speed and load ratings in the industry–and I know our customers feel safer towing with Goodyear tires!! All 10RK’s have a standard enclosed underbelly with an added layer of AstroFoil insulation, so better MPG’s with less wind drag and any wire runs, tanks, etc.
JAYCO HUMMINGBIRD TRAVEL TRAILER FULL
John Fisher: The Jayco 2-Year Warranty is always an awesome feature and one of the most important things we offer, giving our campers 2 full camping seasons of protection!! 15″ American-made, nitro-filled Goodyear Endurance radial mudder tires with self-adjusting electric brakes are standard. The Exterior of the Hummingbird 10RK RVFTA: What exterior features are included or available?

JAYCO HUMMINGBIRD TRAVEL TRAILER TV
The 10RK is 13 feet long and 90 inches high to the top of the TV antenna, which is a key feature allowing the model to be put in a garage as long as the doors are 8 feet or higher. They wanted to have another option for those campers that weren’t interested in a camping trailer. John Fisher: Our Sales Team came to me months ago asking for a smaller trailer that would appeal to the Jeep Wrangler type of customer that has a towing capacity of approximately 2000 pounds. Give us some basic specs on this trailer–weight, height, length–and what type of consumer do you think will buy it? RVFTA: The new Hummingbird 10RK is getting a lot of buzz among tiny trailer fans. It was a no-brainer for Jayco to enter this market, so we targeted the 2017 model year as the debut for our new brand, the Hummingbird, and brought it to market May 1, 2016. With the growing demand for smaller light-weight trailers I approached management in 2015 with a market study showing the upward trends of the expanding tear drop market along with our Product Development Team’s design input & plan. John Fisher: I’m the Senior Director of Product Development for the Jayco Light-Weight brands, which includes the White Hawk, Jay Feather, Hummingbird & Jay Sport camping trailer. Meet John Fisher RVFTA: Tell us about your position at Jayco and what role you played in bringing the Hummingbird line to market. Maybe I can talk Stephanie into buying one for a rental unit or to use for occasional weekend getaways without the kids.Įither way, we thought it would be a good time to check back in with John Fisher, and learn all about the newest entry into the Hummingbird line. We are fascinated by them because they look like so much fun! You can take them just about anywhere, and tow them with so many different vehicles. Tiny trailers have always been a kind of forbidden fruit for us. Not because it makes sense for our family of five (six including Maggie the Camping Dog!) but precisely because it doesn’t make sense for us at all. The latest entry into the lineup, the Hummingbird 10RK, really grabbed our attention. Since then, sales of the Hummingbird line exploded and the variety of floor plans has expanded. We had a great time talking to John and learning all about his plans for the Hummingbird line. So we asked to interview the product manager behind the debut, John Fisher. We have owned three different Jayco RV’s and Jayco sponsors both the RV Family Travel Atlas and Campground of the Week podcasts.Īt that time the brand new Jayco Hummingbird (a stylish, lightweight teardrop) was getting a lot of buzz among tiny trailer fans. Two years ago, on our way out to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, we stopped at the Jayco campus in Middlebury, Indiana to check out some of their newest RV’s. Have you seen the new Jayco Hummingbird 10RK? Tiny trailers are all the rage right now, and this is just the latest example of innovation in this RV segment.
