2019 JaycoHummingbird 17MBS

Jayco lists the 2019 Hummingbird 17MBS at 2,990 lb dry, a GVWR of 3,950 lb, a net carrying capacity of 960 lb and a hitch weight of 280 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.

It is 19' 10" long and 9' 0" high. Jayco prints its tanks as 31.6 gal fresh, 25.4 gal grey, 25.4 gal black.

Among the 7 Hummingbird floorplans Jayco’s 2019 Hummingbird brochure lists with a published dry weight, it is number 6 from the lightest, in a range from 1,545 lb (Hummingbird 10RK) to 3,015 lb (Hummingbird 17BH). Every figure in that comparison is Jayco’s, for the same model year.

Every number on this page was read on 5 Nov 2026 from Jayco’s 2019 Hummingbird brochure, the maker’s own dated document for model year 2019.

How the 17MBS differs from the other six Hummingbird floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

• Dry weight, 2,990 lb: second-heaviest of seven, between the 17RK (2,980 lb) and the 17BH (3,015 lb).
• Exterior height, 9 ft: second-lowest of seven, between the 10RK (7 ft 8 in) and the 16MRB, 17FD and 17RB (9 ft 1 in).
• Cargo capacity, 960 lb: third-largest of seven, between the 17BH (935 lb) and the 16MRB and 17RK (970 lb).
• Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 24.3%: third-largest of seven, between the 17FD (24.1%) and the 17RK (24.6%).
• GVWR, 3,950 lb: highest of seven, level with the 17BH and 17RK; next are the 16MRB, 17FD and 17RB (3,750 lb).

Next to the 17RK, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 17MBS is 10 lb heavier by dry weight, has 10 lb less cargo capacity and stands 2 in lower; the two publish the same GVWR, length, interior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Next to the 17BH, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 17MBS is 25 lb lighter by dry weight, has 25 lb more cargo capacity and stands 2 in lower; the two publish the same GVWR, length, interior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Jayco’s 2019 Hummingbird brochure lists 7 Hummingbird floorplans; every one with a printed weight has a page here.

A full 31.6-gallon fresh tank is about 262 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 27% of the Hummingbird 17MBS’s 960 lb cargo capacity, leaving 698 lb (349 lb per rated berth). Across 7 Hummingbird floorplans the water share runs 27% to 47%, and 4 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Hummingbird 16MRB at 27% and Hummingbird 17BH at 28%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).

No source publishes a tongue weight for the Hummingbird 17MBS, so its hitch load has to come from a scale ticket taken with the trailer hitched.
