Jayco Eagle HT · 2025–202630CRT

The Jayco Eagle HT 30CRT is a 34' 0" fifth wheel in the MY2026 Eagle HT roster. Jayco publishes a dry weight of 9,725 pounds against a 11,600-pound GVWR, and the two tie out exactly with the published 1,875-pound cargo carrying capacity — 9,725 + 1,875 = 11,600. 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 1,915 pounds, or 20% 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 1,875 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' 6" and the exterior measures 8' 1" wide by 12' 3" tall — check that height against your own garage, and remember an air-conditioner shroud adds to it. This page covers the MY2026 30CRT 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 2 model years here, 2025 to 2026, and the specification does not hold still. Across those years GVWR ranges from 11,500 lb in 2025 to 11,600 lb in 2026, a spread of 100 lb; dry weight ranges from 9,565 lb in 2025 to 9,725 lb in 2026, a spread of 160 lb; dry pin weight ranges from 1,845 lb in 2025 to 1,915 lb in 2026, a spread of 70 lb. Even the published sleeping capacity moves (4 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 30CRT 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.

This floorplan carries its water comfortably. A full 52-gallon fresh tank is roughly 23% of the 1,875-pound cargo capacity, leaving the 30CRT with a usable gear budget even when you tow full.

The published dry pin weight of 1,915 pounds is 20% of this floorplan’s 9,725-pound dry weight. Fifth-wheel pin weight rides in the bed of the truck, so it comes off payload rather than off tow rating — and it rises with the trailer as you load it, not in proportion to what you put over the axles.

Nothing above changes the ceiling. Loaded to its 11,600-pound GVWR the 30CRT is towing 1,875 pounds more than its 9,725-pound dry figure, and that is the number your vehicle has to be rated for — not the brochure weight.

Tank balance is generous here: 52 gallons of fresh against 82 grey and 45 black, so waste capacity keeps pace with supply and the fresh tank is the constraint that ends a dry stay.

Ranked by GVWR, the 30CRT sits 20 of 37 in the Eagle line: 11,600 pounds against a line that runs from 8,400 to 15,200 pounds. That position is the useful thing to know, because the plans immediately either side of it are the real alternatives.

Either side of it in the same line: Eagle 31RLT matches it exactly at 11,600 lb GVWR; and Eagle 31QBH is 100 pounds heavier at 11,700 lb GVWR.

1 other Eagle plan shares this floorplan’s 11,600 lb GVWR, so the ranking above separates plans that tow to the same ceiling. On a shared chassis the figure that actually differs between them is cargo capacity and where the weight sits, not the rating.

Against the 30CRT: the Blackthorn 279BH is 80 lb lighter and 1 ft shorter; the Arctic Wolf 331BH is 245 lb heavier and 4 ft longer and sleeps 6 more; the Reflection 32BH is 395 lb heavier and 2 ft longer and sleeps 3 more. Those are differences in the published numbers only — what they cost, how they are built and how they live are separate questions each of those pages answers on its own terms.

Those are the nearest fifth wheels from other lines by weight — one per line, picked by proximity on that figure and nothing else. They are listed so the same tow vehicle can be checked against real alternatives, not because they are equivalent inside; layout, build and price diverge sharply across that group.

For scale, the Eagle floorplans profiled here run 6,560 to 12,830 pounds dry and 28 to 43 feet of exterior length across 37 plans. Where a floorplan falls in that spread usually says more about which vehicle can tow it, and which site it fits, than the layout name does.

Every profiled floorplan in this line, with the full weight table, is on the Eagle line hub.

This catalog tracks 18 specification fields per floorplan. Named sources publish 13 of them for the 30CRT. The rest are not shown, because the alternative is reading a figure across from a sibling floorplan or from what the segment usually does — and a number nobody published is worth less than an admitted gap.

Not published for this floorplan: slide count, axle count, awning, refrigerator, air conditioning. If you find one of these in a manufacturer document for this plan, it belongs on this page.

The completeness figure at the foot of this page (100%) measures the same thing on the full field set: it is a measurement of how much this floorplan’s manufacturer publishes, not of how much research went into the page.

How every figure here was sourced and checked is set out on the methodology page.
