01 What makes it unique
The North Point 383FLRB is on Jayco’s 2027 North Point roster. Jayco’s own floorplan page lists it at 42 ft 2 in pin to bumper, 12 ft 6 in tall (13 ft 4 in with the air conditioner) and 8 ft 6 in wide (14 ft 6 in with the slides out), sleeping up to 6.
Jayco publishes all four weights: an unloaded vehicle weight of 14,840 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 3,160 lb and a GVWR of 18,000 lb (unloaded weight plus cargo capacity equals the GVWR exactly), with a dry hitch weight of 3,035 lb. Tanks are 75 gal fresh, 87 gal grey and 87 gal black.
Nearest on Jayco’s 2027 North Point roster by unloaded weight: 380FBRK (14,810 lb UVW, 3,390 lb CCC) and 381CKRE (14,805 lb UVW, 3,190 lb CCC).
How the 383FLRB 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, 20.5%: largest of fourteen; next is the 381CKRE (20.3%).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 17.6%: fifth-largest of fourteen, between the 391TBBH (17.5%) and the 381CKRE (17.7%).
- Dry pin weight, 3,035 lb: fifth-heaviest of fourteen, between the 381CKRE (3,010 lb) and the 382FLRB (3,045 lb).
- Cargo capacity, 3,160 lb: sixth-largest of fourteen, between the 340CKTS (3,120 lb) and the 381CKRE (3,190 lb).
- Dry weight, 14,840 lb: seventh-lightest of fourteen, between the 387FBTS (14,830 lb) and the 361RLBH (15,260 lb).
- GVWR, 18,000 lb: seventh-lowest of fourteen, between the 381CKRE and 382FLRB (17,995 lb) and the 377RLBH (18,100 lb).
- Exterior height, 12 ft 6 in: lowest of fourteen, level with the 361RLBH, 380FBRK and 381CKRE; next are the 340CKTS, 375TBDB and 391TBBH (12 ft 8 in).
- Length, 42 ft 2 in: shared with the 361RLBH; of fourteen, five shorter and seven longer, nearest the 375TBDB (42 ft 1 in) and the 380FBRK (42 ft 7 in).
- Black tank, 87 gal: shared with the 380FBRK, 387FBTS and two others; of fourteen, seven smaller and two larger, nearest the 382FLRB (74 gal) and the 375TBDB and 390CKDS (100 gal).
- Sleeping capacity, 6: shared with the 361RLBH; of fourteen, six smaller and six larger, nearest the 310RLTS, 340CKTS and three others (4) and the 377RLBH and 390CKDS (7).
Next to the 387FBTS (2021–2026 page), the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 383FLRB is 10 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 350 lb higher, has 340 lb more cargo capacity, has a dry pin weight 260 lb heavier, is 9 in shorter, stands 9 in lower and sleeps two more; the two publish the same fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.
Next to the 361RLBH, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 383FLRB is 420 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 600 lb lower, has 180 lb less cargo capacity, has a dry pin weight 40 lb heavier, has 1 in less interior height and has a black tank 37 gal larger; the two publish the same length, 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 (18,000 lb) and the upper loaded pin estimate (4,500 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 383FLRB 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 383FLRB’s 3,160 lb cargo capacity, leaving 2,538 lb (423 lb per rated berth). Across 14 North Point floorplans the water share runs 18% to 25%, and 8 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: North Point 381CKRE at 20% and North Point 340CKTS at 20%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).

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.
