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.
| Model year | Dry (UVW) | GVWR | Cargo (CCC) | Dry pin | Sleeps | Tire size |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 14,010 | 16,600 | 2,590 | 2,887 | 34 | Not published |
| 2024 | 14,525 | 17,350 | 2,825 | 2,785 | 4 | 215/75R17.5'H' |
| 2025 | 14,670 | 17,650 | 2,980 | 2,775 | 4 | 215/75R17.5'H' |
| 2026 | 14,830 | 17,650 | 2,820 | 2,775 | 4 | 215/75R17.5'H' |
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.

Towing it
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. 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.
| Floorplan | Nominal | Sleeps | Notable |
|---|---|---|---|
| 310RLTS | 36 ft | 4 | Rear living, tri-fold sofa, roll-top dinette |
| 365RKTS | 40 ft | 3 | Rear kitchen, L-shaped |
| 377RLBH | 42 ft | 7 | Rear living, mid bonus room + loft + bunks |
| 387FBTS | 42 ft | 4 | Front bath, theater seats |
| 381CKRE | 43 ft | 4 | Center kitchen, rear entertainment |
| 382FLRB | 43 ft | 8 | Front living, dual sink, rear bath |
| 390CKDS | 43 ft | 7 | Center kitchen, two bedrooms/two baths |
| 395DSDB | 44 ft | 8 | Two bedrooms, double bunk |
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.
04 Notes on this floorplan
Private front master bath
A full ‘FB’ bath up front off the raised king suite, with a rear living area and theater seating.
Generous holding tanks
87-gallon grey and 87-gallon black tanks give long stretches between dumps for a couples’ coach.
Full luxury equipment
Carries the complete North Point standard package on the 102-inch wide-body chassis.
Wants a three-quarter-ton+ truck
A 17,650-pound-GVWR full-profile fifth wheel — confirm a properly rated three-quarter-ton or one-ton truck’s payload and rear axle.
05 How it compares
Forest River’s Sabre — a full-profile fifth wheel in the same length and tier.
Keystone’s rear-living Montana — a mainstream-luxury full-profile fifth wheel.
The flagship Pinnacle’s front-bath plan — a heavier LRE-4000 suspension and higher trim.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 75-gallon fresh tank is about 626 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.2), 22% of the 387FBTS’s 2,820 lb cargo capacity, leaving 2,194 lb (549 lb per rated berth). Across 8 North Point floorplans the water share runs 20% to 25%, and 5 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: North Point 395DSDB at 22% and North Point 365RKTS at 22%. 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 6 of the 9 fields both publish (this plan first): length 42 ft 11 in vs 37 ft 10 in; dry weight 14,830 lb vs 13,880 lb; GVWR 17,650 lb vs 17,000 lb; cargo capacity 2,820 lb vs 3,120 lb; dry hitch weight 2,775 lb vs 2,475 lb; black tank 87 gal vs 50 gal. They match on sleeps, fresh tank and grey tank.

11 NHTSA safety record
NHTSA holds 16 recall campaigns and 27 owner complaints 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.
