01 What makes it unique
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 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' 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.
How the 29DDB 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.
- Cargo capacity, 1,755 lb: eighth-smallest of 52, between the 29RLC (1,715 lb) and the 27MLC (1,775 lb).
- Exterior height, 12 ft 5 in: thirteenth-tallest of 35, between the 27MLC, 27RL and four others (12 ft 4 in) and the 355MBQS, 370FB and 370FBTS (12 ft 6 in).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 16%: fourteenth-smallest of 51, between the 31QCD (15.9%) and the 30CRT, 317RLOK and three others (16.2%).
- Dry pin weight as a share of dry weight, 18.2%: shared with the 29.5BHOK; of 52, eleven smaller and 39 larger, nearest the 25.5REOK (18.1%) and the 29.5BHDS (18.4%).
- Sleeping capacity, 6: shared with the 27RS, 317RLOK and three others; of 37, 23 smaller and eight larger, nearest the 367TBTS and 370FB (5) and the 31MB, 31MBT and two others (7).
- Dry pin weight, 1,685 lb: eighteenth-lightest of 52, between the 30RLT (1,650 lb) and the 28RKS (1,695 lb).
- Dry weight, 9,240 lb: 21st-lightest of 52, between the 30RLT (9,205 lb) and the 260KC (9,250 lb).
- GVWR, 10,995 lb: shared with the 27RS, 28.5RSTS and 29.5BHDS; of 52, fourteen lower and 34 higher, nearest the 30RLT (10,900 lb) and the 29.5BHOK, 30.5CKTS and 30.5MLOK (11,000 lb).
- Length, 34 ft 6 in: 22nd-shortest of 44, between the 29.5BHDS (34 ft 3 in) and the 29CBD and 325MKTS (34 ft 8 in).
- 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 30RLT (2026–2027 page), the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 29DDB is 35 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 95 lb higher, has 60 lb more cargo capacity, has a dry pin weight 35 lb heavier, is 9 in longer, stands 3 in taller and sleeps two more; the two publish the same interior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.
Next to the 260KC (2027 page), the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 29DDB is 10 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 205 lb lower, has 195 lb less cargo capacity, has a dry pin weight 136 lb lighter, stands 2 in taller and sleeps two more; the two publish the same interior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.
Specifications by model year
This floorplan has a published factory record for 3 model years here, 2024 to 2026. The specification does not hold still: GVWR runs from 10,750 lb (2024) to 10,995 lb (2026); dry weight runs from 8,995 lb (2025) to 9,240 lb (2026); dry pin weight runs from 1,685 lb (2026) to 1,770 lb (2025). The published sleeping capacity changes across the years: up to 10 in 2024–2025, up to 6 in 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.
| Model year | Dry (UVW) | GVWR | Cargo (CCC) | Dry pin | Length | Sleeps | Tire size |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 9,040 | 10,750 | 1,710 | 1,715 | 34' 8" | up to 10 | ST225/75R15'E' |
| 2025 | 8,995 | 10,750 | 1,755 | 1,770 | 34' 8" | up to 10 | ST225/75R15'E' |
| 2026 | 9,240 | 10,995 | 1,755 | 1,685 | 34' 6" | up to 6 | ST225/75R15'E' |
Every row is that model year’s own record from Jayco’s model page for that year. The figures in the tow-critical placard at the top of this page are the 2026 record from the source this catalogue originally profiled. On the weights, overall length and tire size, that record and Jayco’s own 2026 model page agree on every field both of them publish. Exterior height is not compared: Jayco publishes a bare height, a with-A/C height and a with-2nd-A/C height, and the single height row carried here cannot be matched to one of them, so no claim is made either way.

Federal tire recalls naming this size. NHTSA’s recall file names ST225/75R15 in 2 tire recalls: 14T015000 (Dynamic Tire Corp., 2014; make TOWMAX STR; model ST); 17T014000 (Triangle Tire USA, 2017; make TRIANGLE; model TR643). A tire recall covers only the brands, lines and DOT date codes it lists, and this page does not know which brand of tire this trailer was built with, so read the brand and DOT code on your own sidewalls before relying on this list. Only 242 of NHTSA’s 788 tire recalls name a size in their summary, so a size with no match is not a clean record (NHTSA recall file, read 12 Oct 2026).
What changed for the 2024 model year
2024 is the earliest model year of the 29DDB on this site, so there is no earlier record to set it against. Section 01 compares it with 2025.
Source for 2024. Specifications reflect the 2024 model year as published by Jayco on its own 2024 model page for this floorplan, and are dry factory figures for a base unit. Options, dealer-installed equipment and cargo all add weight. A fifth wheel puts its pin load through the tow vehicle's rear axle, so the loaded pin must be checked against the truck's payload, rear-axle and hitch ratings, not against its tow rating. Dry weight plus cargo capacity ties out exactly to the published GVWR for this model year. CamperTrailers.com publishes verified manufacturer data and is not affiliated with Jayco, Inc.

Towing it
Check your vehicle. Enter the ratings from your owner’s manual and the door-pillar placard.
Compares your figures with this page’s published GVWR (10,995 lb) and the upper loaded pin estimate (2,749 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern.
Loaded range: 15–25% of GVWR on the pin, a rule of thumb, not a measurement of this unit. No truck ratings or hitch classes (why; NHTSA, DOT HS 809 433). The range starts at the published dry figure, because loaded is never lighter than dry.
The 2027 model year, as Jayco lists it
For 2027, Jayco’s Eagle Fifth Wheel 29DDB page differs from the 2026 record above in 5 figures: unloaded weight 9,240 lb → 9,160 lb; cargo capacity 1,755 lb → 1,835 lb; hitch weight 1,685 lb → 1,784 lb; fresh tank 52 gal → 51 gal; exterior height 12' 5" → 11' 9". Unchanged: GVWR, grey tank, black tank, width. Jayco prints no overall exterior length for the 2027 plan, only a pin-to-bumper length, which has its own row and is not compared with the overall length above. Jayco’s 2027 page lists this floorplan under the Eagle badge; Eagle HT was renamed Eagle, so the 2027 record belongs on this page (one line, renamed). Unloaded weight plus cargo capacity equals the 2027 GVWR exactly.

03 The Eagle HT floorplan family
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 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.

Eagle HT is Jayco's lighter premium line, sold as both a fifth wheel and a travel trailer on the same residential build. It sits above Jay Feather and below the full-size Eagle. Pin and tongue weights are dry factory figures and climb with cargo — even a light fifth wheel needs its loaded pin checked against the truck's payload and rear-axle rating. Additional Eagle HT floorplans are catalogued on the line hub.
04 Notes on this floorplan
Figures are Jayco’s own, and they tie out
Dry 9,240 lb + cargo 1,755 lb = GVWR 10,995 lb exactly. Nothing on this page is computed from the other two, estimated from the segment, or taken from a dealer listing.
Dry means empty, and you will not tow it empty
9,240 lb is the unit as built, before water, propane, batteries, cargo or dealer-installed options. Weigh the loaded trailer on a public scale before matching it to a tow vehicle.
Pin weight comes out of truck payload
1,685 lb of dry pin sits in the bed and counts against the truck’s payload sticker along with passengers and gear. Loaded pin runs higher than dry pin.
What this page does not publish
Jayco’s factory spec table for this floorplan carries no slide count, no bed size, no refrigerator or air-conditioner spec and no MSRP. Those rows are absent here rather than filled from a sibling floorplan or a second source. Jayco’s published awning length is held in this catalogue’s saved copy of the factory page but not printed, because the catalogue tracks no awning field to print it into.
