2019 Jayco Eagle284BHOK

The Eagle 284BHOK 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 284BHOK, 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 7,990-pound dry weight, 2,005 pounds of published cargo capacity, a 985-pound dry tongue weight. That dry tongue is 12% 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 284BHOK 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.

2019 is the earliest model year of the 284BHOK 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.

Cargo capacity on the 284BHOK is 2,005 pounds — the entire budget for gear, water, propane, batteries and everything else you put aboard.

The published dry tongue weight of 985 pounds is 12% of the 7,990-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 284BHOK is towing 2,005 pounds more than its 7,990-pound dry figure, and that is the number your vehicle has to be rated for — not the brochure weight.

Against the 284BHOK: the Campsite Reserve 29TJ is 2 ft longer; the Cascade 29TEC is 1 ft longer; the Cherokee Grey Wolf 27RR is 1 ft shorter. 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.

Named sources publish 8 of the 18 specification fields this catalogue tracks for the 284BHOK (43% complete on the full field set).

Not published for this floorplan: exterior height, fresh tank, grey tank, sleeps, slide count, axle count, tire specification, awning, refrigerator, air conditioning. Those rows are left blank rather than copied from a sibling floorplan.
