Jayco Seismic Travel Trailer 265 vs Outdoors RV Trail Series 25TRX
The difference that matters
Weight and capacity are close on these two cold-weather toy haulers. The Seismic 265 is 32.7 ft, 8,640 lb dry, with a 1,270 lb hitch and 13,250 lb GVWR. The Trail Series 25TRX is 31.25 ft, 8,900 lb dry, with a 1,500 lb hitch and 13,995 lb GVWR. Cargo capacity is 4,610 lb against 5,095.
Power sets them apart. The Seismic carries a 6,000 W NPS generator with a built-in pure sine inverter and 200 W of solar. The 25TRX has a 4K Cummins Onan generator and 400 W of solar. Each has a heated, enclosed underbelly and a big fresh tank of 106 or 100 gal, and the fuel station is 30 gal on the Jayco against 40.
The Jayco adds a king bed, a tankless water heater, inverter pre-wire and sleeps six. The Outdoors RV adds 6,800 lb axles on load-range G tires and a 3,000 lb rated ramp. The Seismic sits lower at 12.7 ft against 13.2.
