Jayco Eagle HT · 2024–202629DDB

The Jayco Eagle HT 29DDB is a 34' 6" fifth wheel in the MY2026 Eagle HT roster. Jayco publishes a dry weight of 9,240 pounds against a 10,995-pound GVWR, and the two tie out exactly with the published 1,755-pound cargo carrying capacity — 9,240 + 1,755 = 10,995. 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 1,685 pounds, or 18% 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 1,755 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 434 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' 5" tall — check that height against your own garage, and remember an air-conditioner shroud adds to it. This page covers the MY2026 29DDB 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.

This floorplan has a verified factory record for 3 model years here, 2024 to 2026, and the specification does not hold still. Across those years GVWR ranges from 10,750 lb in 2024 to 10,995 lb in 2026, a spread of 245 lb; dry weight ranges from 8,995 lb in 2025 to 9,240 lb in 2026, a spread of 245 lb; dry pin weight ranges from 1,685 lb in 2026 to 1,770 lb in 2025, a spread of 85 lb. Even the published sleeping capacity moves (10 and 6). That is why each model year has its own page below, carrying only its own published figures. Nothing on a year page 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. 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 29DDB 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 434 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.2), 25% of the 29DDB’s 1,755 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,321 lb (220 lb per rated berth). Across 32 Eagle fifth-wheel floorplans the water share runs 21% to 33%, and 23 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Eagle 27MLC at 24% and Eagle 29RLC at 25%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).

Closest sibling: the Eagle 30RLT, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 6 of the 9 fields both publish (this plan first): length 34 ft 6 in vs 33 ft 9 in; sleeps 6 vs 4; dry weight 9,240 lb vs 9,205 lb; GVWR 10,995 lb vs 10,900 lb; cargo capacity 1,755 lb vs 1,695 lb; dry hitch weight 1,685 lb vs 1,650 lb. They match on fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Either side of it by GVWR: Eagle 29.5BHDS matches it at 10,995 lb GVWR; Eagle 29.5BHOK is 5 lb heavier (11,000 lb GVWR).

All 81 Eagle floorplans: Eagle line hub.

Against the 29DDB: the Reflection 28RL is 4 ft shorter and sleeps 2 fewer; the Cougar 26RKE is 5 lb heavier and 4 ft shorter; the Roamer Light Duty 304BHS is 395 lb lighter.

13 of the 18 fields this catalogue tracks are published for the 29DDB. Not published: slide count, axle count, awning, refrigerator, air conditioning.
