In the video below, Mike Drudge from Vogt RV provides a tour of the 2024 Jayco Redhawk 29XK Class C motorhome, an especially good choice for familiesy.
Sporting a modern farmhouse décor, the dinette and the sofa are both inside the slide, which gives this coach lots of interior space.
I especially love the enormous pass-through storage area in the back. It’s big enough to store a bunch of bikes or other toys. Heck, it’s big enough to be an extra bedroom!
Speaking of bedrooms, the over-cab bunk is rated for 750 lbs., so it’s not just for kids. This area also sports a large window with power shades that lets you gaze at the stars from bed.
Kitchen in the Jayco Redhawk 29XK Class C
I love that the kitchen has a large amount of counter and food prep space. You’ll also find a double stainless steel sink, although from the video it seems a little small. My current travel trailer has one large and one smaller sink. This for me is the optimal kitchen sink setup, but I rarely (never?) see it in new RVs.
The kitchen also sports a 3-burner cooktop, oven, residential-sized microwave, and a large 12-volt fridge. Our host says that gas/electric fridges are on their way out. This, to my mind, is not an improvement, but it does seem to be the way the industry is moving. On the plus side, it is bigger than most gas/electric fridges, and the compressor makes it cool much quicker.
I also like the large, comfortable dinette with its large rotating table. Of course, the dinette converts to a sleeping area, as does the small two-seater sofa in the living area.
I was surprised to see two air conditioners on a rig with 30-amp power, but Jayco installs these with a soft start power saver in order to properly manage the energy draw.
The split bathroom offers additional functions. Mike is more than 6 feet tall and he still had plenty of extra headroom in the shower. The rack to hang wet clothes in the shower is a nice little touch.
The bedroom has a full walk-around queen-sized bed with a quality Serta mattress. While there is a hanging closet, they have a ladder stored in it. I would have liked to see another hanging closet on the other side.

I wish folks who review RVs would list the GVWR, GCWR, and CCC from the RV sticker. Showing ‘gross weight’ without specifying GVRW or GCWR can make the reader draw completely different conclusions on how much stuff they can put in the RV if they are towing. Listing the hitch rating on a motor home can be very deceiving, including this RV being reviewed. I have seen this across multiple manufacturer brochures and then sales people say: It has an xxx hitch rating – you will be fine. For many motor homes, if you tow up the hitch rating, you may find your remaining carry capacity for people, water, pets and ‘stuff’ is reduced to a number you may not be able to manage to.
The Serta mattress that came in the 2021 Jayco TT I had was terrible.
Thank you, Cheri! 🙂 Well, at least the fresh water volume was a bit larger than the gray tank volume. 🙂 I wonder if that 2-year warranty is Jayco’s or Vogt’s? If it is written with Thor’s new language, then the paper on which it is printed may be more valuable than the warranty itself. Thanks again, have a great day, safe travels, and safe stays! 🙂
