Jayco Eagle HT · 2025–202628CRT

The Jayco Eagle HT 28CRT is a 32' 10" fifth wheel in the MY2026 Eagle HT roster. Jayco publishes a dry weight of 9,595 pounds against a 11,400-pound GVWR, and the two tie out exactly with the published 1,805-pound cargo carrying capacity — 9,595 + 1,805 = 11,400. 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 1,990 pounds, or 21% 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 1,805 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' 4" tall — check that height against your own garage, and remember an air-conditioner shroud adds to it. This page covers the MY2026 28CRT 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 28CRT differs from the other 51 Eagle fifth wheels. Most distinctive first. Sibling pages may cover other model years than this one (2025–2026). How these ranks are worked out.

• Dry pin weight as a share of dry weight, 20.7%: fourth-largest of 52, between the 26REC and 335LSTS (20.6%) and the 31QCD and 360DBOK (21.1%).

• GVWR, 11,400 lb: shared with the 28RLT; of 52, 23 lower and 27 higher, nearest the 260KC and 29RLC (11,200 lb) and the 29CBD (11,450 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).

• 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 29CBD (2025 page), the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 28CRT is 70 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 50 lb lower, has 120 lb less cargo capacity, has a dry pin weight 85 lb lighter, is 1 ft 10 in shorter, stands 6 in taller, has 2 ft 3 in more interior height and sleeps five fewer; the two publish the same fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Next to the 31QBH (2027 page), the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 28CRT is 95 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 300 lb lower, has 205 lb less cargo capacity, has a dry pin weight 25 lb heavier, stands 1 ft 9 in taller, has 2 ft 3 in more interior height, has a fresh tank 1 gal larger and sleeps three fewer; the two publish the same grey tank and black tank.

This floorplan has a published factory record for 2 model years here, 2025 to 2026. The specification does not hold still: GVWR runs from 11,350 lb (2025) to 11,400 lb (2026); dry weight runs from 9,515 lb (2025) to 9,595 lb (2026); dry pin weight runs from 1,960 lb (2025) to 1,990 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 28CRT 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 28CRT’s 1,805 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,373 lb (343 lb per rated berth). Across 52 Eagle fifth-wheel floorplans the water share runs 16% to 34%, and 33 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Eagle 31QCD at 23% and Eagle 31RLT at 24%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).
