01 What makes the 2021 382FLRB different
The North Point 382FLRB is one of Jayco's North Point luxury full-profile fifth wheels, positioned just below the flagship Pinnacle and above the Eagle fifth wheels. This page covers one model year of it — the 2021 382FLRB, 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 2021 model year Jayco published a 16,995-pound GVWR on a 14,740-pound dry weight, 2,255 pounds of published cargo capacity, a 2,520-pound dry pin weight. A pin weight in that range lands well outside half-ton territory: plan on a three-quarter-ton or larger truck, and check the loaded pin against the truck's payload and rear-axle ratings rather than against the tow rating alone.
This is the earliest 382FLRB 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 2021 coach is 5 model years old as of 2026, which puts it squarely in used-buyer territory. Section 05 sets out what to inspect on a laminated-wall fifth wheel 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.
Truck tow ratings are not listed: one model varies by thousands of pounds across engine, axle ratio, cab and package. The loaded range is the 15–25% pin-weight convention for fifth wheels, applied to this plan’s 16,995 lb GVWR, not a measurement of this unit. Hitch class is not used as a rating (SAE J684 covers trailers to 10,000 lb GVWR); read the rating stamped on your hitch.
03 What changed for the 2021 model year
2021 is the earliest model year of the 382FLRB 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 2021 to 2026; each one is linked below.
| Model year | Dry (UVW) | GVWR | Dry pin | Sleeps | Tire size |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 14,740 | 16,995 | 2,520 | 7 | Not published |
| 2022 | 14,740 | 16,995 | 2,520 | 6 | 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 North Point 382FLRB parent page.
No published field moved
Jayco's published record for the 2021 382FLRB matches the adjacent year field for field.
Where these numbers come from
Every figure on this page is read from Jayco's own 2021 factory brochure for the 382FLRB — one source, one model year, no blending. The all-years parent page sets this year beside every other model year we hold, and where the record this catalogue originally profiled disagrees with Jayco's own model page, both figures are published there and neither is adjusted.
Fields Jayco does not publish for 2021
For this model year the factory record omits: Exterior Width (with slides out), Exterior Height, Tire Size, Propane Unit (lbs), Propane Unit (lbs) (Optional), Water Heater, Furnace BTU, Furnace, Auto-ignition (BTU output), # of outside storage compartments. 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 2021 382FLRB at 5 model years old
Tyres are almost certainly past their service age
At 5 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 2021 model year. A used coach carries its previous owner's additions, and a fifth wheel puts roughly 15-25% of the load through the truck's rear axle. Weigh the loaded rig at a public scale and check it against the truck's payload, rear-axle and hitch ratings.

06 Loading it for a trip
Fresh water is the single biggest line in this floorplan’s load plan. A full 85-gallon tank is about 31% of the 2,255-pound cargo capacity — enough that whether you tow with water aboard is a real decision on the 382FLRB rather than a detail.
| Weight budget | Figure | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Cargo capacity as published (CCC) | 2,255 lb | Everything you add: gear, water, propane, batteries, food, people’s belongings. |
| Fresh tank filled (85 gal × 8.34 lb) | −709 lb | Water is the heaviest thing most owners add, and it is added first. |
| Cargo budget left with a full fresh tank | 1,546 lb | 31% of this plan’s capacity is spent before a single bag is loaded. |
| Per sleeping position, water aboard | 309 lb | A rough share of what is left across the 5 berths this plan sleeps. |
The published dry pin weight of 2,520 pounds is 17% of this floorplan’s 14,740-pound dry weight. Fifth-wheel pin weight rides in the bed of the truck, so it comes off payload rather than off tow rating — and it rises with the trailer as you load it, not in proportion to what you put over the axles.
Nothing above changes the ceiling. Loaded to its 16,995-pound GVWR the 382FLRB is towing 2,255 pounds more than its 14,740-pound dry figure, and that is the number your vehicle has to be rated for — not the brochure weight.
Tank balance is generous here: 85 gallons of fresh against 74 grey and 74 black, so waste capacity keeps pace with supply and the fresh tank is the constraint that ends a dry stay.
07 Where this floorplan sits
| Comparable fifth wheels | GVWR (lb) | Dry (lb) | Sleeps | Length |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 382FLRB | 16,995 | 14,740 | 5 | 43 ft 11 in |
| Model Z 3300 | 16,995 | 13,127 | 6 | 36 ft 7 in |
| Pinnacle 38FLWS | 16,995 | 14,275 | 5 | — |
| Vengeance Rogue 341GS11 | 16,990 | 12,874 | — | 39 ft 11 in |
| Wolf Pack 350PACK15 | 16,960 | 12,263 | — | 45 ft 0 in |
| Seismic 392T | 16,900 | 12,235 | — | 40 ft 11 in |
| Cedar Creek 390RKB | 16,860 | 14,484 | 8 | 43 ft 3 in |
Against the 382FLRB: the Model Z 3300 is 7 ft shorter and sleeps 1 more; the Vengeance Rogue 341GS11 is 5 lb lighter and 4 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 fifth wheels 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 North Point floorplans profiled here run 13,375 to 16,195 pounds dry and 36 to 45 feet of exterior length across 8 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 North Point line hub.
08 Common questions about the 382FLRB
How much does the 382FLRB weigh?
Its published dry weight is 14,740 lb and its GVWR is 16,995 lb, so 2,255 lb separates the empty trailer from its rated maximum. Size the tow vehicle to the 16,995 lb figure, not the dry one.
How much can the 382FLRB carry?
Cargo carrying capacity is 2,255 lb, 13% of the GVWR. Across the 307 fifth wheels on this site that publish both figures, the median share is 19%, so this plan sits 5 points below the median. A full 85-gallon fresh tank is about 709 lb of it (31%), because federal rule counts on-board water as cargo (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.2). The yellow cargo-capacity label inside your own trailer’s entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3) states the figure for that unit as delivered, options included, and it is the one that binds.
What is the pin weight of the 382FLRB?
The published dry pin weight is 2,520 lb, 17% of the dry weight. Across the 386 fifth wheels on this site that publish both figures, the median dry pin share is 19%, so this plan sits 2 points below the median. Loaded, it changes with where the cargo sits, and it is carried by the tow vehicle’s payload, not its tow rating.
What size tow vehicle does the 382FLRB need?
A tow rating of at least 16,995 lb, this floorplan’s GVWR, plus enough payload for the pin load, passengers and cargo. The dry pin weight alone takes 2,520 lb of that payload before anything is loaded. Payload is printed on the tire and loading placard on the tow vehicle’s driver-side door pillar (49 CFR 571.110 S4.3); this site lists no truck ratings because they vary by build.
How many people does the 382FLRB sleep?
It is rated to sleep 5. Rated positions include convertible furniture.
What are the tank capacities on the 382FLRB?
Fresh 85 gallons, grey 74 gallons, black 74 gallons. Combined waste capacity is 148 gallons.
How long is the 382FLRB?
Exterior length is 43' 11". Check it against campsite and storage length; the exterior figure includes the tongue or pin box.
How does the 2021 382FLRB differ from other model years?
Set against the published 2022 382FLRB record, 1 figure differs: sleeping capacity 5 in 2021 against 4 in 2022. 8 other figures both years publish are identical. This floorplan is profiled for 6 model years here (2021 to 2026).
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
Named sources publish 11 of the 18 specification fields this catalogue tracks for the 382FLRB (57% complete on the full field set).
Not published for this floorplan: exterior height, slide count, axle count, tire specification, awning, refrigerator, air conditioning. Those rows are left blank rather than copied from a sibling floorplan.
Sourcing rules: methodology.
11 NHTSA safety record
This floorplan belongs to the North Point line, and NHTSA holds 16 recall campaigns and 27 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 27 complaints filed on this line the most-reported components are suspension (52%), equipment (11%) and wheels (11%). That is where owners of this family have had trouble, so it is where an inspection is worth the time.
Reports that name the 382FLRB
1 of those record name this floorplan specifically rather than the line as a whole.
| Type | Date | Reference | What it says |
|---|---|---|---|
| Complaint | 4 Nov 2024 | ODI 11623373 | The VIN sticker and cargo carrying capacity sticker on my 2022 Jayco North Point 382FLRB have a major discrepancy. The VIN sticker says the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) is 16,995… |
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 North Point line page.
