01 What makes the 2024 29BH different
The White Hawk 29BH is one of Jayco's White Hawk travel trailers, the more-featured slot in Jayco's range before Jay Feather was moved up into it.
Across the 4 model years of the 29BH on this site (2021 to 2024), the 2024 record has the lightest dry weight, 6,865 lbs; the same GVWR as every other year that publishes one (8,500 lbs); the largest cargo capacity, 1,635 lbs; dry tongue weight 815 lbs, between 795 lbs (2022) and 860 lbs (2023); the same exterior length as every other year that publishes one (34' 9"). It is the latest of them.
Among the 8 Jayco White Hawk travel trailers with a 2024 page on this site, the 29BH is 4th lightest of 8 by dry weight; joint 4th highest of 8 by GVWR; the largest of 8 by cargo capacity; 4th shortest of 8 by exterior length. By dry weight, the lightest is the 27RK at 6,500 lbs and the heaviest is the 32QBH at 8,200 lbs.

Federal tire recalls naming this size. NHTSA’s recall file names ST225/75R15 in 2 tire recalls: 14T015000 (Dynamic Tire Corp., 2014; make TOWMAX STR; model ST); 17T014000 (Triangle Tire USA, 2017; make TRIANGLE; model TR643). A tire recall covers only the brands, lines and DOT date codes it lists, and this page does not know which brand of tire this trailer was built with, so read the brand and DOT code on your own sidewalls before relying on this list. Only 242 of NHTSA’s 788 tire recalls name a size in their summary, so a size with no match is not a clean record (NHTSA recall file, read 12 Oct 2026).

Towing it
Loaded range: 10–15% of GVWR on the tongue, a rule of thumb, not a measurement of this unit. No truck ratings or hitch classes (why; NHTSA, DOT HS 809 433).
03 What changed for the 2024 model year
Between the 2023 and 2024 29BH, 4 of the 19 fields both records publish differ: dry weight, cargo capacity, dry tongue weight and height with A/C. The other 15 match, including GVWR.

Where these numbers come from
Every figure on this page is read from Jayco's own 2024 model page for this floorplan (how sources are handled).
Fields Jayco does not publish for 2024
For this model year the factory record has no optional propane and auto-ignition furnace. Those rows read “Not published” and are not filled in from another year.
04 Buying a 2024 29BH at 2 model years old
Its age, and the date on its label
A 2024 29BH is 2 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 lists ST225/75R15'E' as the 2024 factory tire size. 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 2024
The federal record on Jayco White Hawk year by year runs from model year 2005 to 2023, so it holds nothing for 2024 yet.
05 How it compares — and to its other years
Differs from 2024 on dry weight, cargo capacity, dry tongue weight and height with A/C.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 55-gallon fresh tank is about 459 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 28% of the 29BH’s 1,635 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,176 lb (118 lb per rated berth). Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
