01 What makes the 2020 312BHOK different
The Eagle 312BHOK sits in Jayco's Eagle travel-trailer range, the towable-behind-a-half-ton side of the Eagle name, below the Eagle fifth wheels and above the lighter Jay Feather. This page covers one model year of it — the 2020 312BHOK, exactly as Jayco published it — because the numbers that decide whether your truck can pull this trailer are not the same from one year to the next.
For the 2020 model year Jayco published a 11,300-pound GVWR on a 9,515-pound dry weight, 1,785 pounds of published cargo capacity, a 1,085-pound dry tongue weight. That dry tongue is 11% of the dry weight, inside the 10–15% band conventionally quoted for a bumper-pull trailer. Tongue weight is not fixed — it moves with how the trailer is loaded, and weight added ahead of the axles raises it. A tongue load in that range wants a weight-distribution hitch, and the tow vehicle's tongue-weight limit is a separate number from its trailer-weight limit — check the loaded tongue against the hitch receiver's rating and the vehicle's payload, not against the tow rating alone.
This is the earliest 312BHOK model year with a verified factory record in this catalogue. Later years are linked at the foot of the page, each with its own published figures.
A 2020 trailer is 6 model years old as of 2026, which puts it squarely in used-buyer territory. Section 05 sets out what to inspect on a travel trailer of this age — tyre date codes, roof and seam sealant, slide seals, and the soft-floor and delamination checks that separate a tidy coach from an expensive one.
Specifications by model year
2020 is the only model year this catalogue holds a verified factory record for the 312BHOK. That record is published here on its own, and it is not a general specification for the floorplan: Jayco revises published weights, ratings and even tire sizes from one model year to the next, so every figure below is evidence about 2020 and about no other year.
| Model year | Dry (UVW) | GVWR | Cargo (CCC) | Dry tongue | Sleeps | Tire size |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 9,515 | 11,300 | 1,785 | 1,085 | Not published | Not published |
The row above is the 2020 model year’s own record from Jayco’s model page for that year. When a second model year is sourced for this floorplan, it joins the table above on this same page and at this same address — nothing moves and no link breaks. The figures in the tow-critical placard at the top of this page are that same 2020 record. On the weights, overall length and tire size, that record and Jayco’s own 2020 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.

What it takes to tow this
Built from this floorplan’s verified weights. We publish the trailer side only.
Truck tow ratings are not listed: one model varies by thousands of pounds across engine, axle ratio, cab and package. The loaded range is the 10–15% tongue-weight convention for travel trailers, applied to this plan’s 11,300 lb GVWR, not a measurement of this unit. Hitch class is not used as a rating (SAE J684 covers trailers to 10,000 lb GVWR); read the rating stamped on your hitch.
04 Buying a 2020 312BHOK at 6 model years old
Tyres are almost certainly past their service age
At 6 years old, the original the factory tire size will be well beyond the five-to-seven-year age window RV tyres are normally replaced on, regardless of tread depth. Budget for a full set plus the spare unless there is a dated receipt.
Water is what kills these, and it is the cheapest thing to check
Press the walls and floor around the entry, the slide openings, the rear wall and under the front cap. Soft spots, a wavy or rippled sidewall, or a stained ceiling are delamination and water ingress, and they are structural rather than cosmetic.
Appliance and component life
Absorption fridges, water heaters and A/C units commonly need attention somewhere in the second decade. Run every appliance on both gas and mains before agreeing a price.
Weigh it before you tow it
Every weight on this page is a DRY factory figure for the 2020 model year. A used trailer carries its previous owner's additions, and a travel trailer puts its tongue load on the tow vehicle's hitch and through its rear axle. Weigh the loaded rig at a public scale and check it against the tow vehicle's payload, rear-axle and hitch ratings.
05 How it compares
Every Eagle floorplan this catalogue holds a verified factory record for, with its own published weights.
06 Loading it for a trip
Cargo capacity on the 312BHOK is 1,785 pounds — the entire budget for gear, water, propane, batteries and everything else you put aboard.
| Weight budget | Figure | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Cargo capacity as published (CCC) | 1,785 lb | Everything you add: gear, water, propane, batteries, food, people’s belongings. |
The published dry tongue weight of 1,085 pounds is 11% of the 9,515-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 11,300-pound GVWR the 312BHOK is towing 1,785 pounds more than its 9,515-pound dry figure, and that is the number your vehicle has to be rated for — not the brochure weight.
07 Where this floorplan sits
Ranked by GVWR, the 312BHOK sits 39 of 81 in the Eagle line: 11,300 pounds against a line that runs from 8,400 to 15,400 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 29RLC is 100 pounds lighter at 11,200 lb GVWR; and Eagle 28CRT is 100 pounds heavier at 11,400 lb GVWR.
| Comparable travel trailers | GVWR (lb) | Dry (lb) | Sleeps | Length |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 312BHOK | 11,300 | 9,515 | — | 33 ft 7 in |
| Cherokee Timberwolf Black Label 16MLBL | 11,300 | 7,404 | — | 27 ft 9 in |
| Reflection 312BHTS | 11,295 | 9,800 | 6 | 37 ft 4 in |
| Puma 32BHFS | 11,308 | 9,608 | 11 | 38 ft 9 in |
| Cherokee Wolf Den Black Label 304SRBL | 11,314 | 9,120 | — | 38 ft 11 in |
| Wolf Pack 26-13.5 | 11,315 | 6,688 | — | 31 ft 9 in |
| Longitude 310RL | 11,280 | 7,708 | — | 35 ft 10 in |
Against the 312BHOK: the Cherokee Timberwolf Black Label 16MLBL is 6 ft shorter; the Reflection 312BHTS is 5 lb lighter and 4 ft longer; the Puma 32BHFS is 8 lb heavier and 5 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 13,030 pounds dry and 28 to 43 feet of exterior length across 81 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?
Its published dry weight is 9,515 lb and its GVWR is 11,300 lb, so 1,785 lb separates the empty trailer from its rated maximum. By GVWR it is the 39th-lightest of the 81 Eagle floorplans profiled here that publish a GVWR (8,400 lb to 15,400 lb). Size the tow vehicle to the 11,300 lb figure, not the dry one.
How much can the 312BHOK carry?
Cargo carrying capacity is 1,785 lb, 16% of the GVWR. Across the 958 travel trailers on this site that publish both figures, the median share is 23%, so this plan sits 7 points below the median. The yellow cargo-capacity label inside your own trailer’s entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3) states the figure for that unit as delivered, options included, and it is the one that binds.
What is the tongue weight of the 312BHOK?
The published dry tongue weight is 1,085 lb, 11% of the dry weight. Across the 1,148 travel trailers on this site that publish both figures, the median dry tongue share is 12%, so this plan sits close to the median. Loaded, it changes with where the cargo sits, and it is carried by the tow vehicle’s payload, not its tow rating.
What size tow vehicle does the 312BHOK need?
A tow rating of at least 11,300 lb, this floorplan’s GVWR, plus enough payload for the tongue load, passengers and cargo. The dry tongue weight alone takes 1,085 lb of that payload before anything is loaded. Payload is printed on the tire and loading placard on the tow vehicle’s driver-side door pillar (49 CFR 571.110 S4.3); this site lists no truck ratings because they vary by build.
How long is the 312BHOK?
Exterior length is 33' 7". That makes it the 23rd-shortest of the 75 Eagle floorplans profiled here that publish an exterior length (27 ft 7 in to 43 ft 1 in). Check it against campsite and storage length; the exterior figure 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
Named sources publish 8 of the 18 specification fields this catalogue tracks for the 312BHOK (43% complete on the full field set).
Not published for this floorplan: exterior height, fresh tank, grey tank, sleeps, slide count, axle count, tire specification, awning, refrigerator, air conditioning. Those rows are left blank rather than copied from a sibling floorplan.
Sourcing rules: methodology.
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.
