01 What makes it unique
The North Point 381CKRE is on Jayco’s 2027 North Point roster. Jayco’s own floorplan page lists it at 40 ft 9 in pin to bumper, 12 ft 6 in tall (13 ft 3 in with the air conditioner) and 8 ft 6 in wide (13 ft 7 in with the slides out), sleeping up to 4.
Jayco publishes all four weights: an unloaded vehicle weight of 14,805 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 3,190 lb and a GVWR of 17,995 lb (unloaded weight plus cargo capacity equals the GVWR exactly), with a dry hitch weight of 3,010 lb. Tanks are 75 gal fresh, 87 gal grey and 50 gal black, with 120 lb of propane.
Nearest on Jayco’s 2027 North Point roster by unloaded weight: 380FBRK (14,810 lb UVW, 3,390 lb CCC) and 383FLRB (14,840 lb UVW, 3,160 lb CCC).
How the 381CKRE differs from the other thirteen North Point floorplans. Most distinctive first. Each rank counts only the siblings that publish that field, and a figure most of them share is left out. Not every one of these pages covers the same model years as this one (2027); each figure is the one its own page prints, so a rank compares pages, not one model year.
- Dry pin weight as a share of dry weight, 20.3%: second-largest of fourteen, between the 391TBBH (20.2%) and the 383FLRB (20.5%).
- Dry weight, 14,805 lb: fourth-lightest of fourteen, between the 365RKTS (14,505 lb) and the 380FBRK (14,810 lb).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 17.7%: fourth-largest of fourteen, between the 383FLRB (17.6%) and the 361RLBH (18%).
- Length, 40 ft 9 in: fourth-shortest of fourteen, between the 365RKTS (40 ft 4 in) and the 375TBDB (42 ft 1 in).
- Cargo capacity, 3,190 lb: fifth-largest of fourteen, between the 383FLRB (3,160 lb) and the 375TBDB (3,265 lb).
- Dry pin weight, 3,010 lb: sixth-heaviest of fourteen, between the 361RLBH (2,995 lb) and the 383FLRB (3,035 lb).
- Interior height, 8 ft 7 in: tallest of eight, level with the 361RLBH and 375TBDB; next are the 340CKTS, 380FBRK and three others (8 ft 6 in).
- Exterior height, 12 ft 6 in: lowest of fourteen, level with the 361RLBH, 380FBRK and 383FLRB; next are the 340CKTS, 375TBDB and 391TBBH (12 ft 8 in).
- GVWR, 17,995 lb: shared with the 382FLRB; of fourteen, four lower and eight higher, nearest the 387FBTS (17,650 lb) and the 383FLRB (18,000 lb).
- Black tank, 50 gal: smallest of fourteen, level with the 310RLTS, 340CKTS and three others; next is the 382FLRB (74 gal).
- Sleeping capacity, 4: shared with the 310RLTS, 340CKTS and two others; of fourteen, one smaller and eight larger, nearest the 365RKTS (3) and the 361RLBH and 383FLRB (6).
Next to the 365RKTS (2025–2027 page), the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 381CKRE is 300 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 695 lb higher, has 395 lb more cargo capacity, has a dry pin weight 315 lb heavier, is 5 in longer, stands 10 in lower, has a grey tank 37 gal larger and sleeps one more; the two publish the same fresh tank and black tank.
Next to the 380FBRK, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 381CKRE is 5 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 205 lb lower, has 200 lb less cargo capacity, has a dry pin weight 155 lb heavier, is 1 ft 10 in shorter, has 1 in more interior height and has a black tank 37 gal smaller; the two publish the same exterior height, fresh tank, grey tank and sleeping capacity.

Towing it
Check your vehicle. Enter the ratings from your owner’s manual and the door-pillar placard.
Compares your figures with this page’s published GVWR (17,995 lb) and the upper loaded pin estimate (4,499 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern.
Loaded range: 15–25% of GVWR on the pin, a rule of thumb, not a measurement of this unit. No truck ratings or hitch classes (why; NHTSA, DOT HS 809 433). The range starts at the published dry figure, because loaded is never lighter than dry.
03 The North Point floorplan family
North Point is Jayco's second luxury full-profile fifth wheel, positioned just below the flagship Pinnacle — a cross-shop against Keystone's Montana, Grand Design's Reflection, Forest River's Cedar Creek and Sabre and Alliance's Avenue. Every floorplan with a page here is linked below. The 381CKRE on this page is highlighted.

North Point is Jayco's second luxury full-profile fifth wheel, positioned just below the flagship Pinnacle on the same 102-inch wide-body Magnum Truss XL6 platform. Every North Point rides a 12-inch steel I-beam with an 8/10-inch monster-beam drop frame, on Dexter axles with ABS, 17.5-inch 16-ply H-rated tires with SpartanLync TPMS, a MORryde CRE-3000 rubberized suspension (the flagship Pinnacle uses the heavier LRE-4000) and a MORryde rubber pin box, with six-point hydraulic auto-leveling, Stronghold VBL laminated fiberglass walls, a Magnum Truss XL6 roof, Climate Shield zero-degree insulation and an enclosed heated underbelly. The residential package is standard: a GE 21-cubic-foot 12-volt refrigerator, a GE Profile 24-inch range and 30-inch convection microwave, solid-surface counters, two 15,000-BTU Whisper Quiet air conditioners, a 40,000-BTU furnace, an on-demand tankless water heater, a central vacuum, the Overlander II solar package and JAYCOMMAND smart controls. Dry weight, GVWR, CCC and pin are the factory figures and dry weight plus CCC equals GVWR exactly on every plan. Real loaded pin weights run higher — always weigh the loaded coach and confirm against your truck's payload and rear-axle ratings.

06 Loading it for a trip
A full 75-gallon fresh tank is about 622 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.2), 20% of the 381CKRE’s 3,190 lb cargo capacity, leaving 2,568 lb (642 lb per rated berth). Across 14 North Point floorplans the water share runs 18% to 25%, and 9 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: North Point 375TBDB at 19% and North Point 383FLRB at 20%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).
07 Where this floorplan sits
Closest sibling: the North Point 340CKTS, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 5 of the 9 fields both publish (this plan first): length 40 ft 9 in vs 37 ft 10 in; dry weight 14,805 lb vs 13,880 lb; GVWR 17,995 lb vs 17,000 lb; cargo capacity 3,190 lb vs 3,120 lb; hitch weight 3,010 lb vs 2,475 lb.

11 NHTSA safety record
NHTSA holds 16 recall campaigns and 27 owner complaints (model years 2005 on) against the North Point line. They are counted separately: a recall is a confirmed defect with a remedy, a complaint one owner’s unverified account.
What to look at on a used one. Across the 27 complaints filed on this line the most-reported components are suspension (52%), equipment (11%) and wheels (11%).
Recall coverage here is not complete, and complaints are owners’ unverified reports (how this record is built). Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the North Point line page.
