Jayco White Hawk · 2023–202426FK

The Jayco White Hawk 26FK is a 32' 1" travel trailer in the MY2024 White Hawk roster. Jayco publishes a dry weight of 6,820 pounds against a 8,400-pound GVWR, and the two tie out exactly with the published 1,580-pound cargo carrying capacity — 6,820 + 1,580 = 8,400. That arithmetic is checked on every plan in this catalogue, and a plan whose own figures disagree is catalogued without a page rather than quietly reconciled.

The dry tongue weight is 745 pounds, or 11% of the dry weight. Tongue load transfers to the hitch and the rear axle, and a weight-distributing hitch redistributes it rather than removing it. Payload is 1,580 pounds, 19% of GVWR — that is the ceiling for water, propane, cargo and any dealer-fitted equipment combined. Fresh water alone at 55 gallons is about 459 pounds when full.

Tanks are 55 gallons fresh, 61 grey and 30 black. Interior height is 6' 9" and the exterior measures 8' 0" wide. Jayco publishes two exterior heights for this floorplan: 10' 6" at the roofline and 11' 3" with the air conditioner. Both are printed above, neither is derived from the other, and it is the taller figure that has to clear your garage. This page covers the MY2024 26FK only. Jayco’s figures move between model years — measured on one Jayco floorplan across five consecutive years, 20 of 28 published fields changed, including a 290-pound swing in dry hitch weight — so nothing here is carried over from a neighbouring year, and no year is shown that Jayco has not published for this code.

This floorplan has a verified factory record for 2 model years here, 2023 to 2024, and the specification does not hold still. Across those years GVWR ranges from 8,400 lb in 2024 to 8,500 lb in 2023, a spread of 100 lb; dry weight ranges from 6,820 lb in 2024 to 6,875 lb in 2023, a spread of 55 lb; dry tongue weight ranges from 745 lb in 2024 to 810 lb in 2023, a spread of 65 lb. 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.

White Hawk was Jayco’s luxury lightweight travel trailer, sitting above Jay Feather in the range Jayco ran through MY2024. Jayco’s own floorplan index for the last model year titles it a luxury lightweight travel trailer, and the line does not appear in any model year after 2024. The figures on this page are the last ones Jayco published for this floorplan. The 26FK on this page is highlighted; every other profiled plan links to its own page.

A full 55-gallon fresh tank is about 459 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 29% of the 26FK’s 1,580 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,121 lb (280 lb per rated berth). Across 9 White Hawk floorplans the water share runs 28% to 37%, and 7 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: White Hawk 29BH at 28% and White Hawk 29RL at 29%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).

Closest sibling: the White Hawk 27RK, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 6 of the 9 fields both publish (this plan first): length 32 ft 1 in vs 32 ft 10 in; sleeps 4 vs 6; dry weight 6,820 lb vs 6,500 lb; GVWR 8,400 lb vs 8,000 lb; cargo capacity 1,580 lb vs 1,500 lb; dry hitch weight 745 lb vs 720 lb. They match on fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Either side of it by GVWR: White Hawk 27RK is 400 lb lighter (8,000 lb GVWR); White Hawk 29BH is 100 lb heavier (8,500 lb GVWR).

All 9 White Hawk floorplans: White Hawk line hub.
