2027 Jayco Eagle31RLT

The Jayco Eagle 31RLT is a fifth wheel in the MY2027 Eagle roster. Jayco publishes a dry weight of 9,800 pounds against a 11,600-pound GVWR, and the two tie out exactly with the published 1,800-pound cargo carrying capacity — 9,800 + 1,800 = 11,600. 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 1,900 pounds, or 19% 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 1,800 pounds, 16% of GVWR — that is the ceiling for water, propane, cargo and any dealer-fitted equipment combined. Fresh water alone at 52 gallons is about 432 pounds when full.

Tanks are 52 gallons fresh, 82 grey and 45 black, and the factory lists ST225/75R15'E' tires. Interior height is 8' 5" and the exterior measures 8' 1" wide by 12' 2" tall — check that height against your own garage, and remember an air-conditioner shroud adds to it. This page covers the MY2027 31RLT 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 32' 11" 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 31RLT 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.

• Pin-to-bumper length, 32 ft 11 in: third-shortest of eight, between the 260KC (30 ft 9 in) and the 28BHU (33 ft 5 in); across Jayco’s eighteen MY2027 fifth wheels that print it, two shorter and fifteen longer.
• Exterior height, 12 ft 2 in: shared with the 30RLT, 31QCD and 34MBL; of 35, two lower and 29 taller, nearest the 29CBD (11 ft 10 in) and the 24MLE, 25RUC and eight others (12 ft 3 in).
• Cargo capacity, 1,800 lb: tenth-smallest of 52, between the 27MLC (1,775 lb) and the 28CRT (1,805 lb).
• Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 15.5%: tenth-smallest of 51, between the 29RLC (15.3%) and the 30RLT (15.6%).
• Dry pin weight as a share of dry weight, 19.4%: 22nd-largest of 52, between the 28RLT, 327CKTS and 370FBTS (19.3%) and the 325BHQS, 325MKTS and 367TBTS (19.5%).
• Dry weight, 9,800 lb: 24th-heaviest of 52, between the 30CRT (9,725 lb) and the 34MBL (9,810 lb).
• Sleeping capacity, 4: shared with the 24MLE, 25RUC and fifteen others; of 37, three smaller and sixteen larger, nearest the 26REC, 27MLC and 325MKTS (2) and the 367TBTS and 370FB (5).
• Dry pin weight, 1,900 lb: 26th-heaviest of 52, between the 28RLT (1,825 lb) and the 30CRT (1,915 lb).
• GVWR, 11,600 lb: shared with the 30CRT; of 52, 26 lower and 24 higher, nearest the 29CBD (11,450 lb) and the 31QBH, 31QCD and 34MBL (11,700 lb).
• Interior height, 8 ft 5 in: shared with the 24MLE, 25RUC and ten others; of 46, eighteen lower and fifteen taller, nearest the 26RU and 27RS (8 ft 4 in) and the 29RLC and 30CRT (8 ft 6 in).
• Fresh tank, 52 gal: shared with the 24MLE, 25RUC and thirteen others; of 52, thirteen smaller and 23 larger, nearest the 28BHU, 28RKS and 31QBH (51 gal) and the 325BHQS, 327CKTS and 339FLQS (75 gal).
• Grey tank, 82 gal: shared with the 24MLE, 25RUC and eighteen others; of 52, fourteen smaller and seventeen larger, nearest the 27RL and 27RS (80 gal) and the 317RLOK, 319MLOK and thirteen others (87 gal).
• Black tank, 45 gal: shared with the 24MLE, 25RUC and eighteen others; of 52, fourteen smaller and seventeen larger, nearest the 27RL and 27RS (43 gal) and the 317RLOK, 319MLOK and nine others (50 gal).

Next to the 30CRT (2025–2026 page), the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 31RLT is 75 lb heavier by dry weight, has 75 lb less cargo capacity, has a dry pin weight 15 lb lighter, stands 1 in lower and has 1 in less interior height; the two publish the same GVWR, fresh tank, grey tank, black tank and sleeping capacity.

Next to the 34MBL, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 31RLT is 10 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 100 lb lower, has 90 lb less cargo capacity, has a dry pin weight 80 lb heavier and sleeps four fewer; the two publish the same exterior height, interior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

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 31RLT 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.

A full 52-gallon fresh tank is about 432 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.2), 24% of the 31RLT’s 1,800 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,368 lb (342 lb per rated berth). Across 52 Eagle fifth-wheel floorplans the water share runs 16% to 34%, and 32 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Eagle 28CRT at 24% and Eagle 27MLC at 24%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).
