01 What makes the 2022 321RSTS different
The Eagle 321RSTS sits in the full-size tier of Jayco's Eagle fifth wheels, above the half-ton Eagle HT and below the luxury North Point and Pinnacle coaches.
Across the 9 model years of the 321RSTS on this site (2018 to 2027), the 2022 record has dry weight 10,580 lbs, between 10,310 lbs (2018) and 11,145 lbs (2026); the lowest GVWR, 12,700 lbs (level with 2018, 2020 and 2021); cargo capacity 2,120 lbs, between 1,885 lbs (2020) and 2,390 lbs (2018); dry pin weight 1,995 lbs, between 1895 lbs (2020) and 2,270 lbs (2026); the shortest exterior length, 36' 2".
Against the 2023 321RSTS, the next model year on this site, 9 of the 12 fields both records publish differ: dry weight 10,580 lbs to 10,740 lbs (+160 lb); GVWR 12,700 lbs to 12,900 lbs (+200 lb); cargo capacity 2,120 lbs to 2,160 lbs (+40 lb); dry pin weight 1,995 lbs to 1,980 lbs (-15 lb); exterior length 36' 2" to 36' 4" (+2 in); height with A/C 12' 9" to 12' 10" (+1 in); fresh tank 87 gal to 81.0 gal (-6 gal); black tank 50 gal to 59.0 gal (+9 gal); sleeping count 4-6 to up to 6. Written differently but the same figure: grey tank.
Among the 5 Jayco Eagle fifth wheels with a 2022 page on this site, the 321RSTS is the lightest of 5 by dry weight; the lowest of 5 by GVWR; the largest of 5 by cargo capacity; the shortest of 5 by exterior length. By dry weight, the heaviest is the 355MBQS at 13,250 lbs.

Towing it
Loaded range: 15–25% of GVWR on the pin, a rule of thumb, not a measurement of this unit. No truck ratings or hitch classes (why; NHTSA, DOT HS 809 433). The range starts at the published dry figure, because loaded is never lighter than dry.
03 What changed for the 2022 model year
Between the 2021 and 2022 321RSTS, 4 of the 9 fields both records publish differ: dry weight, dry pin weight, exterior length and fresh tank. Unchanged: GVWR, height with A/C, interior height, black tank and sleeping count.

| Dry / unit base weight (UVW) | 10,870 lbs | 10,580 lbs | -290 lb |

Where these numbers come from
Every figure on this page is read from the 2022 Jayco Eagle Fifth Wheels factory brochure (RVUSA brochure library) (how sources are handled).
Fields Jayco does not publish for 2022
For this model year the factory record has no width with slides out, exterior height, tire size, propane, optional propane, water heater, furnace output, auto-ignition furnace and outside storage compartments. Those rows read “Not published” and are not filled in from another year.
04 Buying a 2022 321RSTS at 4 model years old
Its age, and the date on its label
A 2022 321RSTS is 4 model years old in 2026. Its build month is on the certification label (49 CFR 567.4(g)(2)), not in the model year.
Tires: size and date code
Jayco publishes no tire size for 2022, so read the size off the sidewalls. Read the four-digit date code at the end of each tire's identification number, spare included (49 CFR 574.5(b)(3)).
NHTSA record for model year 2022
For model year 2022, NHTSA's files hold 3 recall campaigns and 1 owner complaint under the Jayco Eagle name (see Jayco Eagle year by year). Campaigns by component: Structure (22V571000); Equipment (22V054000, 21V685000). Complaints on 2022 units name Structure (1). They are filed against the line, not this floorplan alone.
05 How it compares — and to its other years
Differs from 2022 on dry weight, dry pin weight, exterior length and fresh tank.
Differs from 2022 on 9 of 12 shared fields, dry weight, GVWR and cargo capacity among them.
Model years 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026 and 2027, side by side.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 87-gallon fresh tank is about 726 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.2), 34% of the 321RSTS’s 2,120 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,394 lb (349 lb per rated berth). Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).
