Fleetwood Flair 28A vs Jayco Alante SE 27ASE
2027 Class A comparison · side-by-side specs, verdict, and who each is best for.
Quick verdict
Both 2027 model-year gas Class A coaches use the Ford 7.3L V8 on Ford F-53 chassis, 18,000 lb GVWR, and king beds - the head-to-head splits on slides, amp service, and tank size. The Fleetwood Flair 28A is 29.25 feet, two slides, 50-amp service, residential fridge, 4,000-watt generator, 1,000-watt inverter, 50-gal fresh, 14-gal LP, sleeps 4, $183,760. The Jayco Alante SE 27ASE is 29.92 feet, single slide, 30-amp service, 4,000-watt generator, no inverter listed, 72-gal fresh, 56-gal LP, sleeps 5, $161,693.
The Flair 28A's electrical advantage is the standout - 50-amp service enables dual A/C, residential fridge runs cleanly, and the 1,000-watt inverter handles small loads off-grid. The Alante SE 27ASE counters with a 22-gallon larger fresh tank (72 vs 50), 4x larger LP (56 vs 14 - meaningful for cold-weather furnace use), and sleeps 5. Both are same-model-year, so it's pure spec trade.
Verdict: Flair 28A for 50-amp service plus two slides at $22,067 more; Alante SE 27ASE for bigger plumbing, more LP, and the lower price.

Pick the Fleetwood Flair 28A if…

Best for hot-climate campers who need dual A/C, plus buyers wanting more interior expansion and residential fridge in a Ford-F53 gas Class A.
Pick the Jayco Alante SE 27ASE if…
Pick the 2027 Jayco Alante SE 27ASE if larger plumbing matters more than 50-amp service - the 72-gallon fresh tank (22 more than Flair) and 56-gallon LP capacity (4x the Flair) extend dry-camp duration and cold-weather furnace runtime substantially. The Alante SE 27ASE sleeps 5 vs the Flair's 4, includes solar prep, and lists $161,693 - $22,067 below the Flair 28A. Best for buyers who'd trade dual-A/C capability for the bigger tanks, more LP, and lower entry price.
