01 What makes the 2022 340CKTS different
The North Point 340CKTS 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 2022 340CKTS, 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 2022 model year Jayco published a 15,750-pound GVWR on a 12,901-pound dry weight, 2,849 pounds of published cargo capacity, a 2,635-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 340CKTS 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 2022 coach is 4 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 15,750 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. On this plan the convention band’s low end fell below the published dry figure, so the range starts at the published dry weight instead — loaded is never lighter than dry.
03 What changed for the 2022 model year
2022 is the earliest model year of the 340CKTS 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 2022 to 2025; each one is linked below.
| Model year | Dry (UVW) | GVWR | Dry pin | Sleeps | Tire size |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 12,901 | 15,750 | 2,635 | 4 | Not published |
| 2023 | 12,810 | 15,750 | 2,130 | 6 | ST255/85R16'E' |
| 2024 | 13,455 | 16,225 | 2,445 | 5 | 215/75R17.5'H' |
| 2025 | 13,880 | 17,000 | 2,475 | 4 | 215/75R17.5'H' |
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 340CKTS parent page.
No published field moved
Jayco's published record for the 2022 340CKTS matches the adjacent year field for field.
Where these numbers come from
Every figure on this page is read from Jayco's own 2022 factory brochure for the 340CKTS — 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 2022
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 2022 340CKTS at 4 model years old
Tyres are the first thing to age out
RV tyres are usually replaced on age rather than tread, at roughly five to seven years from the DOT date code on the sidewall. On a 4-year-old coach the originals (the factory tire size) may still be fitted — read the four-digit date code, not the tread.
Roof and seam sealant is on a service interval
Laminated-wall fifth wheels rely on sealant at every roof penetration and along the front cap. Inspection is typically annual and re-sealing every few years; ask for the service records rather than assuming.
Weigh it before you tow it
Every weight on this page is a DRY factory figure for the 2022 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
This floorplan carries its water comfortably. A full 87-gallon fresh tank is roughly 25% of the 2,849-pound cargo capacity, leaving the 340CKTS with a usable gear budget even when you tow full.
| Weight budget | Figure | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Cargo capacity as published (CCC) | 2,849 lb | Everything you add: gear, water, propane, batteries, food, people’s belongings. |
| Fresh tank filled (87 gal × 8.34 lb) | −726 lb | Water is the heaviest thing most owners add, and it is added first. |
| Cargo budget left with a full fresh tank | 2,123 lb | 25% of this plan’s capacity is spent before a single bag is loaded. |
| Per sleeping position, water aboard | 708 lb | A rough share of what is left across the 3 berths this plan sleeps. |
The published dry pin weight of 2,635 pounds is 20% of this floorplan’s 12,901-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 15,750-pound GVWR the 340CKTS is towing 2,849 pounds more than its 12,901-pound dry figure, and that is the number your vehicle has to be rated for — not the brochure weight.
Tank balance is generous here: 87 gallons of fresh against 87 grey and 50 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 340CKTS | 15,750 | 12,901 | 3 | 37 ft 10 in |
| Sandstorm 2800 | 15,719 | 10,419 | — | 32 ft 3 in |
| Avenue 38DBL | 15,995 | 12,400 | 5 | 41 ft 11 in |
| Bighorn 31RL | 16,000 | 13,060 | 4 | 36 ft 0 in |
| Paradigm 295MK | 16,000 | 12,567 | 4 | 33 ft 3 in |
| Sandpiper 3710HBFB | 15,500 | 12,649 | 7 | 42 ft 9 in |
| Sierra 3710HBFB | 15,500 | 12,649 | — | 42 ft 9 in |
Against the 340CKTS: the Sandstorm 2800 is 31 lb lighter and 6 ft shorter; the Avenue 38DBL is 245 lb heavier and 4 ft longer and sleeps 2 more; the Bighorn 31RL is 250 lb heavier and 2 ft shorter and sleeps 1 more. 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 340CKTS
How much does the 340CKTS weigh?
Its published dry weight is 12,901 lb and its GVWR is 15,750 lb, so 2,849 lb separates the empty trailer from its rated maximum. Size the tow vehicle to the 15,750 lb figure, not the dry one.
How much can the 340CKTS carry?
Cargo carrying capacity is 2,849 lb, 18% of the GVWR. Across the 307 fifth wheels on this site that publish both figures, the median share is 19%, so this plan sits close to the median. A full 87-gallon fresh tank is about 726 lb of it (25%), 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 340CKTS?
The published dry pin weight is 2,635 lb, 20% 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 above 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 340CKTS need?
A tow rating of at least 15,750 lb, this floorplan’s GVWR, plus enough payload for the pin load, passengers and cargo. The dry pin weight alone takes 2,635 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 340CKTS sleep?
It is rated to sleep 3. Rated positions include convertible furniture.
What are the tank capacities on the 340CKTS?
Fresh 87 gallons, grey 87 gallons, black 50 gallons. The smallest of the three is the black tank, at 50 gallons. Combined waste capacity is 137 gallons.
How long is the 340CKTS?
Exterior length is 37' 10". Check it against campsite and storage length; the exterior figure includes the tongue or pin box.
How does the 2022 340CKTS differ from other model years?
Set against the published 2023 340CKTS record, 5 figures differ: dry weight 12,901 lb in 2022 against 12,810 lb in 2023; cargo capacity 2,849 lb in 2022 against 2,940 lb in 2023; dry hitch weight 2,635 lb in 2022 against 2,130 lb in 2023; fresh tank 87 gal in 2022 against 75 gal in 2023; sleeping capacity 3 in 2022 against 6 in 2023. 4 other figures both years publish are identical. This floorplan is profiled for 4 model years here (2022 to 2025).
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 340CKTS (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.

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.
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.
