2017 Jayco Freedom RM20-5 Full Description
Compact 2-Berth Motorhome Layout
The Jayco Freedom RM20-5 is designed specifically around comfortable travel for two. At approximately 20.5 feet long, it provides a useful balance between interior living space and manageable road dimensions.
The layout makes effective use of the available floor space, with the lounge and dining area positioned at the front, kitchen through the centre and a full-width bathroom occupying the rear.
Comfortable Front Lounge & Dining
The front lounge provides a welcoming area to sit, relax and enjoy meals while travelling. Walk-through access from the Renault Master cab also creates a more connected feel between the driving and living areas.
When the motorhome is parked, the front living area becomes a versatile space for relaxing, dining or simply enjoying a break from the road.
Clever Drop-Down Bed Design
One of the most notable features of the RM20-5 is its overhead bed. Rather than requiring a permanent rear bedroom, the main bed descends from above the front lounge when it’s time to sleep. During the day, the bed can be raised to return the lounge area to its normal living configuration.
This clever arrangement allows the RM20-5 to provide dedicated sleeping accommodation while retaining valuable living space in a relatively compact motorhome.
Practical Mid-Mounted Kitchen
The centrally positioned kitchen provides a convenient workspace for preparing meals while travelling. Its position between the front lounge and rear bathroom also helps create a natural division between the different areas of the motorhome.
For couples spending extended periods on the road, having a dedicated kitchen inside the motorhome provides the flexibility to prepare meals without relying on cafes or takeaway options at every stop.
Full-Width Rear Ensuite
The full-width rear ensuite is a major advantage of the RM20-5 layout. Positioned across the rear of the motorhome, the bathroom incorporates a shower, toilet and sink within a dedicated space. The full-width design provides a greater sense of separation and privacy than many compact motorhome layouts.
It also means the RM20-5 doesn’t need to compromise its bathroom facilities simply because of its shorter overall length.
Renault Master Chassis
The 2017 Jayco Freedom RM20-5 is built on the Renault Master chassis, providing the foundation for this compact B-Class motorhome.
The cab provides straightforward access to the living area through the internal walk-through, making it easy to move between the driving and accommodation areas without having to step outside.
With 95,505 km travelled, this motorhome has already seen some touring but remains well suited to couples looking for a practical vehicle for future adventures.
Dealer’s Insight
The RM20-5 is a layout that makes a lot of sense when you look at how Jayco has used the available space. Rather than dedicating a large section of the motorhome to a permanent bedroom, the drop-down bed allows the front lounge to serve two purposes. We particularly like the full-width rear ensuite. It gives the back of the motorhome a proper bathroom feel and is one of the features that makes this compact layout stand out. At around 20.5 feet, it’s also a size that should appeal to buyers who want a genuine motorhome with an internal bathroom and comfortable living area, but don’t want to move into one of the larger coachbuilt models. For a couple travelling together, the combination of a manageable overall size, Renault Master cab, internal walk-through, dedicated kitchen and full-width bathroom makes the Freedom RM20-5 a very practical touring layout.
