Jayco Eagle HT · 2024–202625RUC

The Jayco Eagle HT 25RUC is a 29' 9" fifth wheel in the MY2026 Eagle HT roster. Jayco publishes a dry weight of 8,120 pounds against a 9,800-pound GVWR, and the two tie out exactly with the published 1,680-pound cargo carrying capacity — 8,120 + 1,680 = 9,800. 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 1,640 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 1,680 pounds, 17% 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' 0" wide by 12' 3" tall — check that height against your own garage, and remember an air-conditioner shroud adds to it. This page covers the MY2026 25RUC 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.

How the 25RUC differs from the other 51 Eagle fifth wheels. Most distinctive first. Sibling pages may cover other model years than this one (2024–2026). How these ranks are worked out.

• GVWR, 9,800 lb: second-lowest of 52, between the 24MLE (9,500 lb) and the 24.5KTS (9,950 lb).

Next to the 27.5RLTS (2019–2020 page), the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 25RUC is 20 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 195 lb lower, has 215 lb less cargo capacity, has a dry pin weight 55 lb heavier, is 11 in shorter, has 2 ft 3 in more interior height, has a fresh tank 4 gal larger, has a grey tank 17 gal larger and has a black tank 12.5 gal larger.

Next to the 28RKS (2026 page), the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 25RUC is 230 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 195 lb lower, has 35 lb more cargo capacity, has a dry pin weight 55 lb lighter, is 1 ft shorter, has 2 ft 2 in more interior height and has a fresh tank 1 gal larger; the two publish the same exterior height, grey tank, black tank and sleeping capacity.

This floorplan has a published factory record for 3 model years here, 2024 to 2026. The specification does not hold still: GVWR runs from 9,500 lb (2024) to 9,800 lb (2026); dry weight runs from 8,010 lb (2024) to 8,120 lb (2026); dry pin weight runs from 1,610 lb (2024) to 1,640 lb (2026). Each year’s complete record is printed separately below, carrying only that year’s own published figures and source. Nothing is copied across from a neighbouring year.

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 25RUC 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 571.110 S9.3.2), 26% of the 25RUC’s 1,680 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,248 lb (312 lb per rated berth). Across 52 Eagle fifth-wheel floorplans the water share runs 16% to 34%, and 25 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Eagle 355MBQS at 26% and Eagle 28RKS at 26%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
