01 What makes it unique

The Eagle HT 29RLC is the rear-living half-ton fifth wheel — dual opposing slides open the back of the coach into a wide combined kitchen and living area, with theater seating or a tri-fold sofa facing an entertainment center and fireplace. A private front bedroom with an Olympic queen sits up in the raised nose. It is a genuinely spacious couples’ fifth wheel that still aims at half-ton trucks, in a 34-foot length.

It runs 4-Star Handling — Goodyear Endurance tires, MORryde CRE-3000 suspension — with an 11,200-pound GVWR on a 9,485-pound dry weight, leaving 1,715 pounds of payload. The dry pin weight is about 1,595 pounds, within reach of a properly equipped half-ton, and the build carries the Eagle HT residential touches: Stronghold VBL™ walls, an 8-foot-6 ceiling, a 52-gallon fresh tank, an 82-gallon gray and a 10 cubic-foot refrigerator.

It sleeps four but is really a couples’ coach with room for guests, at an MSRP near $61,000. For buyers who want the open rear-living fifth-wheel experience without a three-quarter-ton truck, the dual-slide 29RLC is the comfort pick of the Eagle HT fifth wheels.

03 The Eagle 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. 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 29RLC 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 half-ton-towable 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 half-ton-rated 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 What owners & reviewers report

Open rear living

Dual opposing slides create a wide combined kitchen and living room across the back — the 29RLC’s signature.

Half-ton-friendly pin

A dry pin near 1,595 lb keeps a well-equipped half-ton in play for a rear-living fifth wheel.

Residential fifth-wheel feel

Raised front bedroom, fireplace and an 8-foot-6 ceiling give it a more home-like feel than a trailer.

Confirm loaded pin

Pin weight climbs with cargo in the front bedroom and storage — weigh loaded and check truck payload.

05 How it compares

↓ Step down
Eagle HT 27MLC

Shorter, single-slide, mid-living — lighter and lower-pin if the open rear layout isn’t needed.

↑ Step up
Eagle 321RSTS

The full-size flagship fifth wheel — far more space and features, with a heavier pin and a 3/4-ton requirement.
