Living in the 2024 Jay Feather 173MRB
The Jay Feather 173MRB has a cozy living space. It features a large campside window, which makes the area cooler and brighter when needed.
The dinette overlooks the window and can fold down into a sleeper, perfect for a big dog or a small kid.
The decor has been updated to a lighter, brighter “Vintage Farmhouse” style, which gives the interior a more modern and cohesive look.
Kitchen Space of the 2024 Jay Feather 173MRB
Jayco didn’t skimp on the kitchen in this model. They’ve upgraded to a bigger refrigerator this year, so you’ll have more space to store food.
While a countertop extension would be a nice addition, the space is still quite functional, with room for a large waste basket and essential kitchen amenities.
You can click the lights on and off with the touch (or push) of your hand!
Bathroom of the 2024 Jay Feather 173MRB
At the rear of the RV, you’ll find a surprisingly spacious bathroom. It includes a tankless on-demand water heater – a big plus for continuous hot showers.
There’s great storage too, which is often lacking in single-axle campers.
The toilet area is a bit cramped, especially for taller individuals, and could benefit from a few design tweaks for more comfort.
There’s great shower space for tall people like Josh the RV Nerd!
Bedroom of the 2024 Jay Feather 173MRB
A 60″ x 75″ Murphy bed fits this RV’s compact design. If you’re tall you might find it a bit short, but it’s a comfortable option for many.
The bed also converts into a sofa, so you’ll have flexibility depending on your needs at different times of the day.
It’s a short queen but not too short! The murphy bed works great!
Traveling in the 2024 Jay Feather 173MRB
One of the best features of the Jay Feather Micro 173MRB is its ‘always road-ready’ design. Without a slide-out, the RV maintains its compact profile, making it easy to maneuver and park. This simplicity is a big plus for those who prefer a straightforward, no-fuss camping experience.
Azdel composites give a more sturdy structure for those “Micro” adventures!

Features on the Outside of the 2024 Jay Feather 173MRB
The 173MRB exterior sports modern graphics and a neat layout.
The griddle station and included picnic table are fantastic for outdoor cooking and dining.
This model offers double the propane capacity of most single-axle trailers, and you can even add more if needed.
The awning size is limited due to the RV’s compact dimensions.
Potential Problems with the 2024 Jay Feather 173MRB
The dinette table, while unique in its sawhorse-style design, is a bit heavy to move around. The bathroom, while spacious overall, has a toilet area that’s tight for larger individuals.
