01 What makes it unique
The Eagle HT 312BHOK is the largest Eagle HT travel trailer and the one built for families who want premium finish at bunkhouse capacity. Three slides and a near-39-foot length make room for a private front bedroom, a rear bunk area and a full living room, while an outside kitchen moves cooking into the open. It sleeps eight in Eagle HT’s residential build — the most family-capable trailer in the line that still tows on a bumper hitch.
It rides on 4-Star Handling — Goodyear Endurance tires, MORryde suspension — with an 11,995-pound GVWR on a 10,015-pound dry weight, leaving 1,980 pounds of payload. The 1,380-pound dry tongue weight is the heaviest of the Eagle HT trailers and wants a well-equipped half-ton or a three-quarter-ton. A 52-gallon fresh tank, 74-gallon gray and 10 cubic-foot refrigerator carry a family through a long stay.
It is a big, premium family trailer at an MSRP near $64,000 — above the mid bunkhouses in both finish and price. For families who want Eagle build and an outdoor kitchen but prefer a conventional trailer to a fifth wheel, the triple-slide 312BHOK is the top of the Eagle HT travel-trailer range.

These graphics are generated from the same verified record that builds the table above, and are published under this site’s own licence — nothing here is traced from, or derived from, a manufacturer drawing or photo. Where a figure is not published for this plan, the graphic that would need it is omitted rather than estimated. The full record is in the published dataset.
What it takes to tow this
Built from this floorplan’s verified weights. We publish the trailer side only.
We do not publish tow ratings for specific trucks. A single model can vary by thousands of pounds depending on engine, axle ratio, cab, drivetrain and package — the only authoritative figure is the one on your own door jamb. Loaded tongue percentages are industry convention for travel trailers (10–15% of loaded weight), not a measurement of this unit. Hitch classes are not used here as a rating: SAE J684 covers trailers to 10,000 lb GVWR and does not define Class V, and capacity boundaries differ between manufacturers — read the rating stamped on your hitch. On this plan the convention band’s low end fell below the published dry figure, so the range starts at the published dry weight instead — loaded is never lighter than dry.
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 312BHOK 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
Premium family bunkhouse
Eagle HT finish at sleeps-eight capacity, with an outside kitchen — the family flagship of the HT trailers.
Outside kitchen for long trips
Moves cooking and cleanup outdoors — the feature large families value most on extended stays.
Still bumper-pull
Sleeps eight and runs 39 feet while keeping a conventional hitch — no in-bed fifth-wheel setup needed.
Heaviest tongue in the HT line
A 1,380-lb dry tongue and 10,015-lb dry weight want a well-equipped half-ton or a 3/4-ton — verify payload.
05 How it compares
Shorter, couples-and-small-family, no outside kitchen — lighter if bunkhouse capacity isn’t needed.
Jayco’s mid bunkhouse with an outdoor kitchen — lighter and cheaper, with less premium finish.
The half-ton fifth-wheel alternative — a more planted tow if a 5W hitch is an option.
06 Loading it for a trip
This floorplan carries its water comfortably. A full 52-gallon fresh tank is roughly 22% of the 1,980-pound cargo capacity, leaving the 312BHOK with a usable gear budget even when you tow full.
| Weight budget | Figure | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Cargo capacity as published (CCC) | 1,980 lb | Everything you add: gear, water, propane, batteries, food, people’s belongings. |
| Fresh tank filled (52 gal × 8.34 lb) | −434 lb | Water is the heaviest thing most owners add, and it is added first. |
| Cargo budget left with a full fresh tank | 1,546 lb | 22% of this plan’s capacity is spent before a single bag is loaded. |
| Per sleeping position, water aboard | 193 lb | A rough share of what is left across the 8 berths this plan sleeps. |
The published dry tongue weight of 1,380 pounds is 14% of the 10,015-pound dry weight, which sits inside the 10–15% band usually quoted for stable towing. It is still a dry figure: loading the front pass-through and the fresh tank both push it up.
Nothing above changes the ceiling. Loaded to its 11,995-pound GVWR the 312BHOK is towing 1,980 pounds more than its 10,015-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 74 grey and 37 black, so waste capacity keeps pace with supply and the fresh tank is the constraint that ends a dry stay.
07 Where this floorplan sits
Ranked by GVWR, the 312BHOK sits 24 of 37 in the Eagle line: 11,995 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 31QCD is 295 pounds lighter at 11,700 lb GVWR; and Eagle 31MBT is 755 pounds heavier at 12,750 lb GVWR.
| Comparable travel trailers | GVWR (lb) | Dry (lb) | Sleeps | Length |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 312BHOK | 11,995 | 10,015 | 8 | 38 ft 8 in |
| Reflection 345RLTS | 11,995 | 10,275 | 6 | 38 ft 10 in |
| Jay Flight 401FLTS | 12,000 | 10,355 | 4 | 40 ft 4 in |
| Puma Vista 39DBT | 12,000 | 10,162 | — | 42 ft 4 in |
| Cherokee Timberwolf 27MDK | 11,924 | 10,124 | — | 35 ft 11 in |
| Cyclone 2214 | 11,700 | 7,445 | 4 | 28 ft 1 in |
| Seismic 214 | 11,700 | 7,445 | 6 | — |
Against the 312BHOK: the Reflection 345RLTS sleeps 2 fewer; the Jay Flight 401FLTS is 5 lb heavier and 2 ft longer and sleeps 4 fewer; the Puma Vista 39DBT is 5 lb heavier and 4 ft longer. 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 travel trailers 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.
08 Common questions about the 312BHOK
How much does the 312BHOK weigh?
It leaves the factory at 10,015 pounds dry, and its manufacturer-set loaded ceiling (GVWR) is 11,995 pounds. Real towing weight lands between the two and depends entirely on what you load. Use the GVWR when matching a tow vehicle; the dry figure is only useful for comparing floorplans against each other.
How much can the 312BHOK carry?
Cargo carrying capacity is 1,980 pounds. That is the whole budget: water, propane, batteries, gear and everything you bring. Filling the 52-gallon fresh tank uses about 434 pounds of that.
What is the tongue weight of the 312BHOK?
The published dry tongue weight is 1,380 pounds. It is measured empty; loaded, it runs higher, and it comes out of your tow vehicle’s payload rather than its tow rating.
What size tow vehicle does the 312BHOK need?
Your vehicle needs a tow rating of at least 11,995 pounds — this floorplan’s GVWR — and enough payload left over for the hitch load, passengers and anything in the bed. This site does not publish tow ratings for specific vehicles, because one truck model varies by thousands of pounds across engine, axle ratio, cab and package. The figure that governs is the payload sticker on your own door jamb.
How many people does the 312BHOK sleep?
It is rated to sleep 8. Rated sleeping positions include convertible furniture, so count the beds against how you actually travel rather than against the number.
What are the tank capacities on the 312BHOK?
Fresh 52 gallons, grey 74 gallons, black 37 gallons. Tank sizes set how long the floorplan can sit away from hookups, and the smallest of the three is what ends the stay.
How long is the 312BHOK?
Exterior length is 38' 8". Measure against your site length and your storage before committing — the exterior figure is the one that has to fit, and it includes the tongue or pin box.
Every figure in these answers is read from this page’s verified specification table. Where the manufacturer publishes nothing, the question is not answered rather than estimated.
09 What this page publishes, and what it does not
This catalog tracks 18 specification fields per floorplan. Named sources publish 17 of them for the 312BHOK. 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: awning. 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 (97%) 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.
11 NHTSA safety record
This floorplan belongs to the Eagle line, and NHTSA holds 44 recall campaigns and 114 owner complaints against that line. They are separate records and are not added together — a recall is a manufacturer-confirmed defect with a remedy; a complaint is one owner’s account, which NHTSA does not verify.
What to look at on a used one. Across the 114 complaints filed on this line the most-reported components are tires (23%), structure (18%) and equipment (13%). That is where owners of this family have had trouble, so it is where an inspection is worth the time.
Recall coverage is not complete — our harvest of NHTSA’s recall API ran 1,556 queries, of which 0 failed and 242 returned an explicit zero. A line can still be under-reported where NHTSA files a roster under a parent name, or where a match rests on the wording of the recall rather than its model field. Complaints come from the complete bulk file but are unverified and self-selected: a high count tracks how many units a line sold at least as much as how well it was built. Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Eagle line page.
