01 What makes the 2025 295RUCD different
The Eagle 295RUCD 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 2025 295RUCD, 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. Jayco publishes it at 8' 1" wide closed and 10' 11" with the slide-outs run out for the 2025 model year, which is the measurement that matters for a site pitch as well as for the road.
For the 2025 model year Jayco published a 10,250-pound GVWR on a 8,200-pound dry weight, 2,050 pounds of published cargo capacity, a 1,000-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. The 2025 trailer left the factory on ST225/75R15'E' tyres; the load range in that code is part of the axle rating and a replacement set has to match it.
Against the 2024 build of the same floorplan, 6 published fields moved. The full comparison is in section 02, and it is drawn from two separate verified factory records rather than from one record and an assumption about the other.
A 2025 trailer is close to current as of 2026, but section 05 still applies: check it against its build date rather than its model year. Jayco commonly builds a model year well before the calendar year turns, and the tyre date codes have to be read against the build month, not the badge.

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 10–15% tongue-weight convention for travel trailers, applied to this plan’s 10,250 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 2025 model year
Jayco changed 6 of the published fields between the 2024 and 2025 295RUCD. Every figure in both columns is that model year's own factory record — nothing here is carried across from the other year.
| Field | 2024 | 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dry weight (UVW) | 8,282 | 8,200 | -82 lb |
| Cargo capacity (CCC) | 1,968 | 2,050 | +82 lb |
| Dry tongue weight | 1,046 | 1,000 | -46 lb |
| Exterior width, slides out | 11' 0" | 10' 11" | — |
| Fresh tank | 81.0 | 52.0 | -29 gal |
| Furnace output | Not published | 35000 | — |
| Model year | Dry (UVW) | GVWR | Dry tongue | Sleeps | Tire size |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 8,282 | 10,250 | 1,046 | 6 | ST225/75R15'E' |
| 2025 | 8,200 | 10,250 | 1,000 | 6 | ST225/75R15'E' |
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 Eagle 295RUCD parent page.
Dry tongue weight changed for 2025
Dry tongue weight was 1,046 for 2024 and is 1,000 for 2025 (-46 lb). Both figures are the manufacturer's own for their year.
Where these numbers come from
Every figure on this page is read from Jayco's own 2025 model page for the 295RUCD — one source, one model year, no blending. This year's figures are read from Jayco's own model-year brochure for the line, named on the page; where a second publisher holds a figure for the same field it is shown beside it rather than replacing it
Fields Jayco does not publish for 2025
For this model year the factory record omits: Propane Unit (lbs) (Optional), Furnace, Auto-ignition (BTU output). 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 2025 295RUCD at 1 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 1-year-old trailer the originals (ST225/75R15'E') may still be fitted — read the four-digit date code, not the tread.
Roof and seam sealant is on a service interval
Travel trailers rely on sealant at every roof penetration, along the front cap and around every window and marker light. 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 2025 model year. A used trailer carries its previous owner's additions, and a travel trailer puts its tongue load on the tow vehicle's hitch and through its rear axle. Weigh the loaded rig at a public scale and check it against the tow vehicle's payload, rear-axle and hitch ratings.

06 Loading it for a trip
This floorplan carries its water comfortably. A full 52-gallon fresh tank is roughly 21% of the 2,050-pound cargo capacity, leaving the 295RUCD with a usable gear budget even when you tow full.
| Weight budget | Figure | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Cargo capacity as published (CCC) | 2,050 lb | Everything you add: gear, water, propane, batteries, food, people’s belongings. |
| Fresh tank filled (52 gal × 8.34 lb) | −434 lb | Water is the heaviest thing most owners add, and it is added first. |
| Cargo budget left with a full fresh tank | 1,616 lb | 21% of this plan’s capacity is spent before a single bag is loaded. |
| Per sleeping position, water aboard | 269 lb | A rough share of what is left across the 6 berths this plan sleeps. |
The published dry tongue weight of 1,000 pounds is 12% of the 8,200-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 10,250-pound GVWR the 295RUCD is towing 2,050 pounds more than its 8,200-pound dry figure, and that is the number your vehicle has to be rated for — not the brochure weight.
Tank balance is generous here: 52 gallons of fresh against 74 grey and 37 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 travel trailers | GVWR (lb) | Dry (lb) | Sleeps | Length |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 295RUCD | 10,250 | 8,200 | 6 | 33 ft 10 in |
| Jay Flight SLX 31QBDS | 10,250 | 7,625 | — | 35 ft 10 in |
| Puma Tracks 3380RLBT | 10,260 | 8,298 | — | 37 ft 8 in |
| Imagine 2670MK | 10,195 | 7,487 | 6 | 32 ft 3 in |
| Aurora 32RLTS | 10,342 | 8,842 | 3 | 35 ft 10 in |
| Jay Flight 340RLK | 10,350 | 8,890 | 4 | 37 ft 10 in |
| Access 32BR | 10,400 | 8,008 | 8 | 37 ft 11 in |
Against the 295RUCD: the Jay Flight SLX 31QBDS is 2 ft longer; the Puma Tracks 3380RLBT is 10 lb heavier and 4 ft longer; the Imagine 2670MK is 55 lb lighter and 2 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.
08 Common questions about the 295RUCD
How much does the 295RUCD weigh?
Its published dry weight is 8,200 lb and its GVWR is 10,250 lb, so 2,050 lb separates the empty trailer from its rated maximum. Size the tow vehicle to the 10,250 lb figure, not the dry one.
How much can the 295RUCD carry?
Cargo carrying capacity is 2,050 lb, 20% of the GVWR. Across the 958 travel trailers on this site that publish both figures, the median share is 23%, so this plan sits 3 points below the median. A full 52-gallon fresh tank is about 434 lb of it (21%), 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 tongue weight of the 295RUCD?
The published dry tongue weight is 1,000 lb, 12% of the dry weight. Across the 1,148 travel trailers on this site that publish both figures, the median dry tongue share is 12%, so this plan sits close to 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 295RUCD need?
A tow rating of at least 10,250 lb, this floorplan’s GVWR, plus enough payload for the tongue load, passengers and cargo. The dry tongue weight alone takes 1,000 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 295RUCD sleep?
It is rated to sleep 6. Rated positions include convertible furniture.
What are the tank capacities on the 295RUCD?
Fresh 52 gallons, grey 74 gallons, black 37 gallons. The smallest of the three is the black tank, at 37 gallons. Combined waste capacity is 111 gallons.
How long is the 295RUCD?
Exterior length is 33' 10". Check it against campsite and storage length; the exterior figure includes the tongue or pin box.
How does the 2025 295RUCD differ from other model years?
Set against the published 2024 295RUCD record, 4 figures differ: dry weight 8,200 lb in 2025 against 8,282 lb in 2024; cargo capacity 2,050 lb in 2025 against 1,968 lb in 2024; dry hitch weight 1,000 lb in 2025 against 1,046 lb in 2024; fresh tank 52 gal in 2025 against 81 gal in 2024. 5 other figures both years publish are identical. This floorplan is profiled for 2 model years here (2024 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 13 of the 18 specification fields this catalogue tracks for the 295RUCD (90% complete on the full field set).
Not published for this floorplan: slide count, axle count, 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 Eagle line, and NHTSA holds 44 recall campaigns and 114 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 114 complaints filed on this line the most-reported components are tires (23%), structure (18%) and equipment (13%). 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 Eagle line page.
