01 What makes it unique

The 387FBTS puts a private ‘FB’ master bath up front, off the raised king bedroom over the hitch, with a rear living area featuring theater seating and a roll-top dinette, and the kitchen amidships. It runs three slide-outs and sleeps four. The equipment is the standard North Point package: a GE 21-cubic-foot 12-volt residential refrigerator, a GE Profile 24-inch range and 30-inch convection microwave, solid-surface counters and a central vacuum, on the 102-inch wide-body chassis with Dexter axles, six-point hydraulic auto-leveling and a MORryde CRE-3000 suspension.

Jayco publishes a 17,650-pound GVWR against the 14,830-pound dry weight, leaving a 2,820-pound cargo capacity and a 2,775-pound dry pin. Two 15,000-BTU Whisper Quiet air conditioners, a 40,000-BTU furnace, an on-demand tankless water heater, the Overlander II solar package and 75/87/87-gallon fresh/grey/black tanks — with generous grey and black capacity — are standard. At a starting MSRP around $123,000, with street pricing below placard, the 387FBTS is the front-bath North Point for a couple who wants a private front master bath and a theater-seat rear lounge in a mid-length luxury coach.

Specifications by model year

This floorplan has a verified factory record for 4 model years here, 2021 to 2026, and the specification does not hold still. Across those years GVWR ranges from 16,600 lb in 2021 to 17,650 lb in 2025, a spread of 1,050 lb; dry weight ranges from 14,010 lb in 2021 to 14,830 lb in 2026, a spread of 820 lb; dry pin weight ranges from 2,775 lb in 2025 to 2,887 lb in 2021, a spread of 112 lb. Even the published sleeping capacity moves (34 and 4). That is why each model year has its own page below, carrying only its own published figures. Nothing on a year page is copied across from a neighbouring year.

Every row is that model year’s own record from Jayco’s model page for that year. The figures in the tow-critical placard at the top of this page are the 2026 record from the source this catalogue originally profiled. On the weights, overall length and tire size, that record and Jayco’s own 2026 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.

Verified specs, drawn to scale

Original graphics built from this floorplan’s own verified figures.

Loaded weight budget

Loaded weight budget for the 387FBTSHorizontal bar. Dry weight 14,830 pounds, then cargo capacity 2,820 pounds, against a GVWR of 17,650 pounds. Dry pin weight 2,775 pounds on the same scale.GVWR 17,650 lbsDry 14,830 lbsCargo capacity 2,820 lbsDry pin weight 2,775 lbs — same scale
Drawn from this page’s published figures. The bar runs from empty to GVWR: the dark band is dry weight, the light band is everything you are allowed to add — water, propane, batteries and gear all come out of it.

Overall length and height are drawn true to scale from the published figures, and the end view uses the same scale. Axle count is as published; axle position, wheel size and the nose profile are schematic. This is a size drawing, not a floorplan, and not a claim about body shape.

Published tank capacities on one scale. A full fresh tank is about 626 lbs of water — roughly 22% of this plan’s 2,820 lb cargo capacity, before you load anything else.

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.

Minimum tow rating your vehicle needs17,650 lb
Published dry pin weight2,775 lb
Loaded pin weight, typical range2,775–4,412 lb
Minimum in-bed fifth-wheel hitch capacity17,650 lb towed / 4,412 lb pin
The pin weight above is dry. It is the figure the manufacturer publishes for an empty trailer. Loaded — with water, propane, batteries and your gear — it runs higher, which is why the range row uses loaded weight. Sizing your truck off the dry number under-budgets your payload.
The arithmetic that actually binds. Open your driver’s door and read the payload figure on the yellow-and-white sticker — that number is specific to your truck as built. Subtract from it: loaded pin weight (use the range above), every passenger, everything in the bed and cab. What is left is your margin. Payload, not tow rating, is what most half-ton owners run out of first.

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 pin percentages are industry convention for fifth wheels (15–25% 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 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. The 2026 line runs to eight floorplans; the six profiled in full are linked below and the two catalogued plans are shown muted. The 387FBTS 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. The 2026 line runs to eight floorplans; the six broadest-appeal layouts are profiled here in full and the remaining two are catalogued from published specifications below. 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

This floorplan carries its water comfortably. A full 75-gallon fresh tank is roughly 22% of the 2,820-pound cargo capacity, leaving the 387FBTS with a usable gear budget even when you tow full.

Cargo budget left with a full fresh tank2,194 lb22% of this plan’s capacity is spent before a single bag is loaded.
Per sleeping position, water aboard549 lbA rough share of what is left across the 4 berths this plan sleeps.

The published dry pin weight of 2,775 pounds is 19% of this floorplan’s 14,830-pound dry weight. Fifth-wheel pin weight rides in the bed of the truck, so it comes off payload rather than off tow rating — and it rises with the trailer as you load it, not in proportion to what you put over the axles.

Nothing above changes the ceiling. Loaded to its 17,650-pound GVWR the 387FBTS is towing 2,820 pounds more than its 14,830-pound dry figure, and that is the number your vehicle has to be rated for — not the brochure weight.

Tank balance is generous here: 75 gallons of fresh against 87 grey and 87 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 387FBTS sits 4 of 8 in the North Point line: 17,650 pounds against a line that runs from 16,000 to 18,850 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: North Point 365RKTS is 350 pounds lighter at 17,300 lb GVWR; and North Point 382FLRB is 345 pounds heavier at 17,995 lb GVWR.

Against the 387FBTS: the Pinnacle 36SSWS is 3 ft shorter; the Model Z 3420 is 45 lb heavier and 3 ft shorter and sleeps 3 more; the Cyclone 3511 is 150 lb heavier and 2 ft shorter and sleeps 2 more. 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 fifth wheels 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 North Point floorplans profiled here run 13,375 to 16,195 pounds dry and 36 to 45 feet of exterior length across 8 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 North Point line hub.

08 Common questions about the 387FBTS

How much does the 387FBTS weigh?

It leaves the factory at 14,830 pounds dry, and its manufacturer-set loaded ceiling (GVWR) is 17,650 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 387FBTS carry?

Cargo carrying capacity is 2,820 pounds. That is the whole budget: water, propane, batteries, gear and everything you bring. Filling the 75-gallon fresh tank uses about 626 pounds of that.

What is the pin weight of the 387FBTS?

The published dry pin weight is 2,775 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 387FBTS need?

Your vehicle needs a tow rating of at least 17,650 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 387FBTS sleep?

It is rated to sleep 4. 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 387FBTS?

Fresh 75 gallons, grey 87 gallons, black 87 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 387FBTS?

Exterior length is 42' 11". 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 387FBTS. 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: interior height, tire size (a tire description is published, a size is not). 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 (95%) 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 North Point line, and NHTSA holds 16 recall campaigns and 27 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 27 complaints filed on this line the most-reported components are suspension (52%), equipment (11%) and wheels (11%). 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 North Point line page.
