01 What makes the 2019 272RBOK different
The Eagle 272RBOK sits in Jayco's Eagle travel-trailer range, the towable-behind-a-half-ton side of the Eagle name, below the Eagle fifth wheels and above the lighter Jay Feather. This page covers one model year of it — the 2019 272RBOK, exactly as Jayco published it — because the numbers that decide whether your truck can pull this trailer are not the same from one year to the next.
For the 2019 model year Jayco published a 9,995-pound GVWR on a 7,515-pound dry weight, 2,480 pounds of published cargo capacity, a 825-pound dry tongue weight. That dry tongue is 11% of the dry weight, inside the 10–15% band conventionally quoted for a bumper-pull trailer. Tongue weight is not fixed — it moves with how the trailer is loaded, and weight added ahead of the axles raises it. A tongue load in that range wants a weight-distribution hitch, and the tow vehicle's tongue-weight limit is a separate number from its trailer-weight limit — check the loaded tongue against the hitch receiver's rating and the vehicle's payload, not against the tow rating alone.
This is the earliest 272RBOK model year with a verified factory record in this catalogue. Later years are linked at the foot of the page, each with its own published figures.
A 2019 trailer is 7 model years old as of 2026, which puts it squarely in used-buyer territory. Section 05 sets out what to inspect on a travel trailer of this age — tyre date codes, roof and seam sealant, slide seals, and the soft-floor and delamination checks that separate a tidy coach from an expensive one.

What it takes to tow this
Built from this floorplan’s verified weights. We publish the trailer side only.
We do not publish tow ratings for specific trucks. A single model can vary by thousands of pounds depending on engine, axle ratio, cab, drivetrain and package — the only authoritative figure is the one on your own door jamb. Loaded tongue percentages are industry convention for travel trailers (10–15% of loaded weight), not a measurement of this unit. Hitch classes are not used here as a rating: SAE J684 covers trailers to 10,000 lb GVWR and does not define Class V, and capacity boundaries differ between manufacturers — read the rating stamped on your hitch.
03 What changed for the 2019 model year
2019 is the earliest model year of the 272RBOK that this catalogue has a verified factory record for, so there is no earlier year here to compare it against. The years we do publish run 2019 to 2020; each one is linked below.
| Model year | Dry (UVW) | GVWR | Dry tongue | Sleeps | Tire size |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 7,515 | 9,995 | 825 | Not published | Not published |
| 2020 | 7,515 | 9,995 | 825 | Not published | Not published |
Every row is that model year's own factory record. The all-years overview for this floorplan, with the family history and the full line, is on the Jayco Eagle 272RBOK parent page.
No published field moved
Jayco's published record for the 2019 272RBOK matches the adjacent year field for field.
Where these numbers come from
Every figure on this page is read from Jayco's own 2019 model page for the 272RBOK — one source, one model year, no blending. This year's figures are read from Jayco's own model-year brochure for the line, named on the page; where a second publisher holds a figure for the same field it is shown beside it rather than replacing it
Fields Jayco does not publish for 2019
For this model year the factory record omits: Exterior Width (with slides out), Exterior Height, Tire Size, Fresh Water Capacity (gals), Gray Water Capacity (gals), Propane Unit (lbs), Propane Unit (lbs) (Optional), Water Heater, Furnace BTU, Furnace, Auto-ignition (BTU output), # of outside storage compartments, Sleeps. Those rows read “Not published” on this page. They are deliberately not filled in from an adjacent model year — a neighbouring year's figure is an inference about this one, not a measurement of it.
04 Buying a 2019 272RBOK at 7 model years old
Tyres are almost certainly past their service age
At 7 years old, the original the factory tire size will be well beyond the five-to-seven-year age window RV tyres are normally replaced on, regardless of tread depth. Budget for a full set plus the spare unless there is a dated receipt.
Water is what kills these, and it is the cheapest thing to check
Press the walls and floor around the entry, the slide openings, the rear wall and under the front cap. Soft spots, a wavy or rippled sidewall, or a stained ceiling are delamination and water ingress, and they are structural rather than cosmetic.
Appliance and component life
Absorption fridges, water heaters and A/C units commonly need attention somewhere in the second decade. Run every appliance on both gas and mains before agreeing a price.
Weigh it before you tow it
Every weight on this page is a DRY factory figure for the 2019 model year. A used trailer carries its previous owner's additions, and a travel trailer puts its tongue load on the tow vehicle's hitch and through its rear axle. Weigh the loaded rig at a public scale and check it against the tow vehicle's payload, rear-axle and hitch ratings.

06 Loading it for a trip
Cargo capacity on the 272RBOK is 2,480 pounds — the entire budget for gear, water, propane, batteries and everything else you put aboard.
| Weight budget | Figure | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Cargo capacity as published (CCC) | 2,480 lb | Everything you add: gear, water, propane, batteries, food, people’s belongings. |
The published dry tongue weight of 825 pounds is 11% of the 7,515-pound dry weight, which sits inside the 10–15% band usually quoted for stable towing. It is still a dry figure: loading the front pass-through and the fresh tank both push it up.
Nothing above changes the ceiling. Loaded to its 9,995-pound GVWR the 272RBOK is towing 2,480 pounds more than its 7,515-pound dry figure, and that is the number your vehicle has to be rated for — not the brochure weight.
07 Where this floorplan sits
| Comparable travel trailers | GVWR (lb) | Dry (lb) | Sleeps | Length |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 272RBOK | 9,995 | 7,515 | — | 32 ft 6 in |
| Campsite Reserve 29TJ | 9,995 | 7,353 | — | 36 ft 11 in |
| Cascade 29TEC | 9,995 | 6,943 | — | 36 ft 6 in |
| Cherokee Grey Wolf 27RR | 9,995 | 6,924 | — | 34 ft 2 in |
| Jay Flight SLX 32BHDS | 9,995 | 7,935 | — | 36 ft 2 in |
| Seismic 260 | 9,995 | 6,260 | — | 30 ft 5 in |
| Palomino Puma 31QBBH | 9,995 | 8,231 | — | 37 ft 10 in |
Against the 272RBOK: the Campsite Reserve 29TJ is 4 ft longer; the Cascade 29TEC is 4 ft longer; the Cherokee Grey Wolf 27RR is 2 ft longer. Those are differences in the published numbers only — what they cost, how they are built and how they live are separate questions each of those pages answers on its own terms.
Those are the nearest travel trailers from other lines by weight — one per line, picked by proximity on that figure and nothing else. They are listed so the same tow vehicle can be checked against real alternatives, not because they are equivalent inside; layout, build and price diverge sharply across that group.
For scale, the Eagle floorplans profiled here run 6,560 to 13,030 pounds dry and 28 to 43 feet of exterior length across 81 plans. Where a floorplan falls in that spread usually says more about which vehicle can tow it, and which site it fits, than the layout name does.
Every profiled floorplan in this line, with the full weight table, is on the Eagle line hub.
08 Common questions about the 272RBOK
How much does the 272RBOK weigh?
It leaves the factory at 7,515 pounds dry, and its manufacturer-set loaded ceiling (GVWR) is 9,995 pounds. Real towing weight lands between the two and depends entirely on what you load. Use the GVWR when matching a tow vehicle; the dry figure is only useful for comparing floorplans against each other.
How much can the 272RBOK carry?
Cargo carrying capacity is 2,480 pounds. That is the whole budget: water, propane, batteries, gear and everything you bring.
What is the tongue weight of the 272RBOK?
The published dry tongue weight is 825 pounds. It is measured empty; loaded, it runs higher, and it comes out of your tow vehicle’s payload rather than its tow rating.
What size tow vehicle does the 272RBOK need?
Your vehicle needs a tow rating of at least 9,995 pounds — this floorplan’s GVWR — and enough payload left over for the hitch load, passengers and anything in the bed. This site does not publish tow ratings for specific vehicles, because one truck model varies by thousands of pounds across engine, axle ratio, cab and package. The figure that governs is the payload sticker on your own door jamb.
How long is the 272RBOK?
Exterior length is 32' 6". Measure against your site length and your storage before committing — the exterior figure is the one that has to fit, and it includes the tongue or pin box.
Every figure in these answers is read from this page’s verified specification table. Where the manufacturer publishes nothing, the question is not answered rather than estimated.
09 What this page publishes, and what it does not
This catalog tracks 18 specification fields per floorplan. Named sources publish 8 of them for the 272RBOK. The rest are not shown, because the alternative is reading a figure across from a sibling floorplan or from what the segment usually does — and a number nobody published is worth less than an admitted gap.
Not published for this floorplan: exterior height, fresh tank, grey tank, sleeps, slide count, axle count, tire specification, awning, refrigerator, air conditioning. If you find one of these in a manufacturer document for this plan, it belongs on this page.
The completeness figure at the foot of this page (43%) measures the same thing on the full field set: it is a measurement of how much this floorplan’s manufacturer publishes, not of how much research went into the page.
How every figure here was sourced and checked is set out on the methodology page.
11 NHTSA safety record
This floorplan belongs to the Eagle line, and NHTSA holds 44 recall campaigns and 114 owner complaints against that line. They are separate records and are not added together — a recall is a manufacturer-confirmed defect with a remedy; a complaint is one owner’s account, which NHTSA does not verify.
What to look at on a used one. Across the 114 complaints filed on this line the most-reported components are tires (23%), structure (18%) and equipment (13%). That is where owners of this family have had trouble, so it is where an inspection is worth the time.
Recall coverage is not complete — our harvest of NHTSA’s recall API ran 1,556 queries, of which 0 failed and 242 returned an explicit zero. A line can still be under-reported where NHTSA files a roster under a parent name, or where a match rests on the wording of the recall rather than its model field. Complaints come from the complete bulk file but are unverified and self-selected: a high count tracks how many units a line sold at least as much as how well it was built. Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Eagle line page.
