2025 Jayco Comet Class B Van - Full Product Walkthrough - Jayco RV

0:03 [Music] hi I'm Cory weatherton director of product development here at Jacob motorhomes and I've got something special for you today it is the 2025 ja Comet and this floor plan is the 18c comet currently it's our only floor plan that we have on this coach so it's not going to be hard for you to find it on our website want to talk to you today about what makes the Jo Comet the J Comet also some of the things we're doing differently than our competition first and foremost this is on a Ram 1500 promas chassis has a 3 l V6 engine with a 9-speed transmission the hitch we're putting on the rear is a 3500 lb hitch so it is a great Chassy has uh some safety features added to it I'd

0:49 encourage you to go to our website uh because in all honesty it's it's too numerous to mention on this video but this comet is a great motor home from the standpoint of it is under 188 ft long if you're looking for something Nimble something to be able to park parallel park on a city Side Street this is the unit for me and you last year uh in downtown Elkart Indiana we did a marketing promotional video for this and I was The Stunt Driver on it we were driving around side streets we had a drone overhead and this coach is easy to parallel park in most cities and that's what I love about this it's Nimble you can navigate the streets well and you can get get into typ places that a lot of your pro masters today will not get into so again under 18 ft long and it's

1:37 the Ram ProMaster 1500 chassis so let's talk about some of the outside features of this coach uh first and foremost let's talk about things on the roof that you cannot see this has a wi guard 2.0 connect in it it's a 4G LTE hotspot and also a Wi-Fi Range Extender the Wi-Fi Range Extender is a great feature because you can be parked outside of your favorite coffee shop be getting that weaker free signal that Wine Guard 2.0 will grab that signal and intensify it and then you'll be able to work from the interior of your motor home without any problem so that is a free feature that comes with wiu guard it's already integrated into it but let's say you're driving and doing a lot of uh business work on the road that's where the 4G LTE

2:24 hotspot comes into play to where whether it's through Wine Guard or most cell providers you can get a SIM card it'll be installed in that Wine Guard and you can have a 4G LTE hotspot going down the road a lot like your vehicles du today if you pay for that subscription so it's a great feature uh the first the Wi-Fi Range Extender is is really free it's it's part of the build but then that 4G LTE Hotpot is an additional on the roof as well 200 watts of solar so that 200 watt of solar is going to be a great feature for you the end user from the standpoint of this has two 12vt AGM batteries uh the motor home does and so that uh 200 W panel will keep those batteries topped off while the unit is

3:09 in storage if it's sitting outside obviously if you're in a warehouse or in your garage uh it needs solar uh sunrays so that's where it's key it'll keep those batteries topped off and really help maintain the life of those batteries it also comes with a dual controller to where to where it will help monitor your chassis battery so that's a great feature uh you're not going to have a dead battery when it's time to load up take off if this has been sitting for a little while also on the roof you'll have a 13,500 BTU air conditioner now this is going to be unique with this product in the marketplace today because a lot of our competitors uh simply because of cost they only have an 11,000 BTU air conditioner and in reality we could probably get away with an 11,000 BT air conditioner in this jco Comet however

3:57 we've chosen to put a 135 in it because we know that you can never have enough air conditioning when you're in those Southern climates or Southwest climates folks it gets hot in the Southern United States this 13,500 BTU air conditioner will be a great feature for you also this has the a hydronic heating system in it so this has the Aqua Hot gen one hydronic heating system in it and so great thing about that is it runs off of your 24g chassis fuel tank so this Aqua Hot system runs off of gasoline it Heats your your hot water for your shower for your drinking water Etc but then also it is your internal furnace on this coach uh through heat exchangers so this Aqua hot heat exchanger uh hydronic heating

4:43 system it's a great upgraded benefit for you what I love about it is like I said it's plumbed to your chassis so the benefit of that is every time I refill my chassis with gasoline I'm refilling my my Aqua Hot system so I don't have to go searching for propane uh to get propane on this coach filled because there's no propane on this coach that's what I love about this it's very convenient for the end user whether it's driving or even fuel sources it's great you have a full length Tuli awning here um this Tuli awning will come out it'll extend approximately 8 to 10 ft or so uh it does have integrated LED lights on it so it will light up my campsite areas uh sufficiently and then also uh I'll be able to as it's getting dark uh be able

5:29 to continue playing my my card games with that picnic table as well on the opposite side of the coach you will find that all of our hookups are convenient whether it's uh satellite cable from the RV park whether it's my black tank flush um we have an LED integrated light into the sidewall to help with your hookups if it's at night so this coach being 18 ft long it is packed on the exterior with features let's go inside this jacob Comet and check out the floor plan so we are inside the 18 see at this point and I am in the bathroom area what I love about this is that it's like I said 18 ft long but we're giving you amenities inside this bathroom that you will find in our longer floor plans within our B van range um we're not skimping either

6:15 you're going to notice this this uh cassette toilet is a fford branded cassette toilet the black tank inside of that is 4.75 gallons what I love about a cassette toilet and and I get cassette toilets can be LoveHate but what I love about it is that it's actually a portable black tank so if I if this is full or getting to be full I can stop at a rest area I can stop at an RV park I can stop anywhere and without having to hook up hoses I can simply pull out the suitcase of the black tank and even dump it down a toilet at a rest stop so that's what I love about this is it's very easy to dump and very convenient for you as the end user also inside this coach you will not that we have

7:00 installed a shower Miser this would be more of our base trim level coach but inside this 18c you will notice we have a shower Miser So within bans the freshwater tank capacity is generally smaller than our our class C's or our class A's so as a result we want to conserve water as much as possible so this uh the shower Miser is set up in such a way that I can create a an a closed loop within my fresh tank and it essentially res Cycles water when this blue disc uh turns an opaque white this means that my shower temperature is is or my water temperatures at shower temperature so when that turns opaque white I can go ahead and open up that closed loop and then shower at that

7:45 point so we are conserving water this is a nice feature that we're putting in our higher end products as well and I think you're going to love it you're going to notice that we do have the flip down sink what I love about these flip down sinks is it just maximizes the space in your bathroom uh so your faucet uh will tilt up I can utilize everything in that now a key thing about these fold down sinks is that it does store your water in the bowl so when it comes time when it's full or when it's time to uh to drain it the key thing is is to slowly slowly lift it up if you go too quick you're going to splash water inside your bathroom but that's how these are designed for space saving so I just wanted to throw that out there just just slowly close it so that draining your water out into your gray tank at that

8:32 point you will notice we do have a medicine cabinet with a a mirror also a a shower curtain that will totally enclose me in my shower and then also a lot of storage in the rear end here so we do have uh three drawers these are are nice size drawers for this size of a coach um all of them are are equal in size and then we have a nice wardrobe back here so a common question is uh Cory this this this is a wood product how do you install it in a bathroom like this without causing problems uh we do have an overhead vent to uh exhaust moisture out of here but then also my enclosed uh shower curtain will take care of the rest as I mentioned this is a wardrobe it's also convenient because it it does house your uh your table that

9:18 is for your kitchen we do have two mounts inside of this that you are able to offer a different seating positions so this has been the bathroom area of this 18c floor plan let's swing around and check out the main living area I think you're going to love what you see so we are in the main living area of this 18c Comet and there is a lot to love about it first of all we'll start in this kitchen area you will notice solid surface countertop uh the solid surface countertop it is not wrapped it's not pressed this equals longevity so I think you're going to love this you'll notice that we do have a sink cover over our sink it does open up a larger working station when my sink cover is over the sink but you'll notice that there's not a cooktop mounted into this kitchen countertop and that's on purpose in a lot of our smaller floor plans we have intentionally chosen to do

10:05 an induction cook top that is portable why is that because in reality you'll be utilizing your cook top area approximately 20 to 30 minutes a day at the most however this countertop space you're going to utilize it really 20 hours out of the day so you need this nice work area so we have chosen to do an induction portable cooktop in this 18c and the cooktop is housed below this bench seat in a little cubby hole uh so this is this is a nice feature we love it we've gotten great customer reviews uh from owners who who love the the massive amounts of workspace without a cooktop interfering with anything you'll notice overhead we do have a little Mount here what is that Mount all of uh our 18 C's do come with a JBL Flip 6

10:54 speaker it's a portable Bluetooth speaker that way you can use it inside the coach you can use it outside of the coach you can even take it kayaking with you if that's the on the agenda for the day or or hiking or backpacking uh so that will go inside of this Mount you will notice overhead we do have cabinets um that are European style uh we love this look inside of this this uh this 18c it is a smaller coach and so we've intentionally went with lighter colors inside of this to help open it up and feel brighter and then a full bank of drawers down below uh you will notice that we do have um oversized drawer fronts so that the visible styles are reduced so it does feel a little bit more residential than traditional and you'll notice our our cabinet size uh

11:40 drawer size is is very deep on all of these drawers so love that over here in the in the other part of the kitchen area we do have a very large 3 cubic foot uh refrigerator with an ice chest up above and then you will find your overhead microwave here so our Engineers as they laid this out they they Envision this as technically your kitchen area so I'm doing my work prep I'm utilizing this other portion of my kitchen and uh everything is is convenient to reach you will notice here that we do have a a pullout countertop extension for added workspace and then below the extension we do have an area for silverware or even spatulas or anything of that nature so uh I think this has been thoughtfully appointed by our Engineers uh as I mentioned this is run the Heat and water

12:27 inside of this is run by that aqua hot gen one gasoline hydronic heating system you will notice we do have night roller shades for complete blackout and then as we move forward uh this this sofa area what I love about this sofa area is it actually converts to a 54x 72 in bed so inside of an 18t motor home this is 54 in wide there's two seat belts integrated into it and this will expand out and you do have a nice sleeping area in such a small motor home so I love that about this coach as I mentioned we've got a jump seat over here with storage underneath uh there are two Lagoon table mounts inside of this coach giving you flexibility

13:12 whether you want your table mounted here or up front uh so this has been a look at the main living area of this 18c uh let's Push pause for a moment let's flip around I want to talk about the cab area all righty so we are in the the entry area SL cab area of this 18c some of the things I love about UPF front uh we do have a close-off screen door to allow more ventilation inside of this coach you will notice that there is a total blackout privacy uh Snap-on shade that we have for the door itself uh there is a nice power station here so both of these front seats do swivel around when they swivel around we have our table Mount here so a nice work area for computers USB charging as well and a cup holder as we come over to uh this side

13:58 of the coach you will notice the beautiful 10.1 in U connect that ProMaster has provided us what I love about this this chassis cab area is it feels a lot like our vehicles at home so as I'm sitting in my driver's seat I have plenty of legro plenty of Headroom same is true for the passenger seat and it's very ergonomically designed for those long uh drives across the country if you're utilizing this in this in this application now overhead here you will notice we do have a large 32in pull out television uh so this is going to be unique within our product so this 18c uh this length of Coach uh this General layout this is going to be unique with us uh this is an LED television what I love about it is I can use it or I can

14:43 just store it away and I don't have to use it so as I mentioned there's a lot to love about this small 18t coach and uh this has been a look at the inside we last but not least we cannot uh forget about these overhead cabinets as I mentioned a lot of abundant storage in such a small footprint inside of this coach so 18c you're going to love it get to your dealers lot and check it out as I mentioned inside of this Jaco Comet you need to get down to your dealer's lot and check this out put your hands on it I'll walk through it see if it's the right floor plan the right length for you I do believe it it's right for a number of you we introduced this model last year in calendar year 2023 and the feedback we've received has been exceptional you know we want to we want
