01 What makes it unique
The Jayco Eagle 31QBH is a fifth wheel in the MY2027 Eagle roster. Jayco publishes a dry weight of 9,690 pounds against a 11,700-pound GVWR, and the two tie out exactly with the published 2,010-pound cargo carrying capacity — 9,690 + 2,010 = 11,700. That arithmetic is checked on every plan in this catalogue, and a plan whose own figures disagree is catalogued without a page rather than quietly reconciled.
The dry pin weight is 1,965 pounds, or 20% of the dry weight. Fifth-wheel pin loads land in the truck bed and count against payload, not against the receiver rating, so the number that matters is your truck’s remaining payload with passengers and gear aboard. Payload is 2,010 pounds, 17% of GVWR — that is the ceiling for water, propane, cargo and any dealer-fitted equipment combined. Fresh water alone at 51 gallons is about 423 pounds when full.
Tanks are 51 gallons fresh, 82 grey and 45 black, and the factory lists ST225/75R15'E' tires. Interior height is 6' 2" and the exterior measures 8' 1" wide by 10' 7" tall — check that height against your own garage, and remember an air-conditioner shroud adds to it. This page covers the MY2027 31QBH only. Jayco’s figures move between model years — measured on one Eagle floorplan across five consecutive years, 20 of 28 published fields changed, including tire size and a 290-pound swing in dry pin weight — so nothing here is carried over from a neighbouring year, and no year is shown that Jayco has not published for this code. Jayco publishes no overall exterior length for this floorplan in MY2027; it prints a pin-to-bumper length of 35' 5" instead, which has its own row and is left out of every overall-length comparison on this site. The exterior-length row says so rather than carrying the figure from a sibling floorplan or from another model year — measured on this same line, published fields move year to year, so a neighbour’s number is a guess wearing a measurement’s clothes.
How the 31QBH differs from the other 51 Eagle fifth wheels. Most distinctive first. Sibling pages may cover other model years than this one (2027). How these ranks are worked out.
- Exterior height, 10 ft 7 in: lowest of 35; next is the 29CBD (11 ft 10 in).
- Pin-to-bumper length, 35 ft 5 in: shared with the 321RSTS; of eight, four shorter and two longer, nearest the 28BHU (33 ft 5 in) and the 335LSTS (37 ft 4 in); across Jayco’s eighteen MY2027 fifth wheels that print it, five shorter and eleven longer.
- Sleeping capacity, 7: shared with the 31MB, 31MBT and 31QCD; of 37, 29 smaller and four larger, nearest the 27RS, 29DDB and four others (6) and the 28BHU, 34MBL and 355MBQS (8).

How these published figures sit against the rest of the catalogue: fifth wheel pin weight and payload; fresh, grey and black tank sizes; camper trailer size chart.
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
Check your vehicle. Enter the ratings from your owner’s manual and the door-pillar placard.
Compares your figures with this page’s published GVWR (11,700 lb) and the upper loaded pin estimate (2,925 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern.
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 The Eagle Fifth Wheel floorplan family
Jayco's Eagle is the brand's premium towable family, and it splits three ways. The full-size Eagle is the flagship fifth wheel — Stronghold VBL™ laminated walls, 5-Star Handling, the HELIX dual-15,000-BTU cooling system and a 16 cubic-foot residential refrigerator. Jayco offers the Eagle HT line as both a fifth wheel and a travel trailer — lighter, 4-Star Handling with Goodyear Endurance tires, and lower pin or tongue weights. The 31QBH on this page is highlighted; each other profiled plan links to its own page. The full Eagle catalogue runs to dozens of floorplans across all three; the highest-demand layouts are detailed here and the rest are catalogued on the line hub.

The full-size Eagle is offered only as a fifth wheel. Above it sit Jayco's luxury North Point and Pinnacle fifth wheels; below it, the lighter Eagle HT line in both fifth-wheel and travel-trailer form. Eagle fifth-wheel pin weights are factory dry figures from Jayco's 2026 brochure and climb with cargo — always weigh the loaded coach and confirm your truck's payload, rear-axle and hitch ratings. Additional Eagle floorplans are catalogued on the line hub.
04 Notes on this floorplan
Figures are Jayco’s own, and they tie out
Dry 9,690 lb + cargo 2,010 lb = GVWR 11,700 lb exactly. Nothing on this page is computed from the other two, estimated from the segment, or taken from a dealer listing.
Dry means empty, and you will not tow it empty
9,690 lb is the unit as built, before water, propane, batteries, cargo or dealer-installed options. Weigh the loaded trailer on a public scale before matching it to a tow vehicle.
Pin weight comes out of truck payload
1,965 lb of dry pin sits in the bed and counts against the truck’s payload sticker along with passengers and gear. Loaded pin runs higher than dry pin.
What this page does not publish
Jayco’s factory spec table for this floorplan carries no slide count, no bed size, no refrigerator or air-conditioner spec and no MSRP. Those rows are absent here rather than filled from a sibling floorplan or a second source. Jayco’s published awning length is held in this catalogue’s saved copy of the factory page but not printed, because the catalogue tracks no awning field to print it into.
The one figure Jayco does not publish here
Jayco’s MY2027 spec table for this floorplan carries no Exterior Length (overall). It is left unpublished on this page. Read directly off the saved factory page, not inferred from a blank field: a sibling floorplan in the same line and model year does publish the label, which is what rules out a reading error. Every other dimension, every tank and all four weights are Jayco’s own.
05 How it compares
Dry 9,800 lb against this plan’s 9,690 lb — 110 lb more to tow.
Every Eagle, Eagle HT and Eagle SLE floorplan catalogued here, with the plans this site refuses to publish and the reason for each.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 51-gallon fresh tank is about 423 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.2), 21% of the 31QBH’s 2,010 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,587 lb (227 lb per rated berth). Across 52 Eagle fifth-wheel floorplans the water share runs 16% to 34%, and 41 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Eagle 27.5RLTS at 21% and Eagle 29.5FBDS at 22%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).
07 Where this floorplan sits
Closest sibling: the Eagle 31QCD, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 4 of the 8 fields both publish (this plan first): dry weight 9,690 lb vs 9,835 lb; cargo capacity 2,010 lb vs 1,865 lb; hitch weight 1,965 lb vs 2,080 lb; fresh tank 51 gal vs 52 gal. They match on sleeps, GVWR, grey tank and black tank.
