Pick the Highland Ridge Open Range 322RLS if…
Full-time or extended-stay campers who still move their rig several times a year. The Open Range 322RLS gives you a 1,800W inverter, 114 gal grey, 50A shore service, four-season construction and an off-road rating in a 37.75 ft package that's $7K cheaper than the Bungalow. The king bed and theater seating handle couple-plus-guest use. Skip it if you want a true park-model feel with 96-inch ceilings or plan to drop it on a seasonal site and never move it.
Pick the Jayco Jay Flight Bungalow 40RLTS if…
Seasonal site owners who want park-model living without going to a 14-foot-tall true park trailer. The Jay Flight Bungalow 40RLTS gives you 96-inch interior ceilings, 102-inch wide body, washer/dryer prep, dual 15K BTU A/Cs and a residential king-bed layout for snowbird or destination use. The 13,500 lb GVWR and 1,630 lb hitch weight need a heavy-duty truck. Skip it if you tow it frequently or want off-road capability.
Frequently asked
Which has more interior headroom?
The Jay Flight Bungalow 40RLTS at 96 inches (8 ft) is a full foot taller inside than the Open Range 322RLS at 84 inches (7 ft). That difference creates a noticeably more residential feel.
Can the Highland Ridge Open Range 322RLS really go off-road?
It carries an off-road rating per its spec sheet, but with 100-inch width and 11.75 ft height it's not a true expedition trailer. Think gravel forest roads and dispersed sites, not rock crawling.
Do either have laundry?
The Jayco Jay Flight Bungalow 40RLTS has washer/dryer prep (you supply the unit). The Highland Ridge Open Range 322RLS has none. Neither ships with a washer/dryer installed.
