2026 Jayco Eagle HT27MLC

The Eagle HT 27MLC is the smallest Eagle fifth wheel and the one aimed squarely at half-ton trucks. A single slide opens a mid-living layout with a raised front bedroom — the fifth-wheel advantage of a separate, elevated sleeping area — in a 33-foot coach light enough to be towed by a properly equipped half-ton. The Eagle HT build carries through: Stronghold VBL™ laminated walls, an 8-foot-5 main ceiling and Climate Shield insulation.

It rides on 4-Star Handling — Goodyear Endurance tires, MORryde CRE-3000 suspension — with a 10,300-pound GVWR on an 8,525-pound dry weight, leaving 1,775 pounds of payload. The dry pin weight is 1,740 pounds, within half-ton territory when the truck is correctly equipped, and the tanks are generous for the size — a 52-gallon fresh, an 82-gallon gray and a 10 cubic-foot 12-volt refrigerator.

It sleeps two, trading berth count for the comfort and storage of a fifth-wheel layout, at an MSRP near $58,000. For couples who want to move up from a travel trailer to a fifth wheel without buying a three-quarter-ton truck, the 27MLC is the most accessible entry in the Eagle line.

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. The Eagle HT ("half-ton") line is engineered to be towable by a properly equipped half-ton truck, and Jayco offers it as both a fifth wheel and a travel trailer — lighter, 4-Star Handling with Goodyear Endurance tires, and lower pin or tongue weights. The 27MLC 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.
