Jayco White Hawk · 2023–202427RK

The Jayco White Hawk 27RK is a 32' 10" travel trailer in the MY2024 White Hawk roster. Jayco publishes a dry weight of 6,500 pounds against a 8,000-pound GVWR, and the two tie out exactly with the published 1,500-pound cargo carrying capacity — 6,500 + 1,500 = 8,000. 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 720 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 1,500 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 457 pounds when full.

Tanks are 55 gallons fresh, 61 grey and 30.5 black. Interior height is 6' 10" and the exterior measures 8' 0" wide. Jayco publishes two exterior heights for this floorplan: 10' 7" 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 27RK 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.

How the 27RK differs from the other eight White Hawk floorplans. Most distinctive first. Sibling pages may cover other model years than this one (2023–2024). How these ranks are worked out.

• Dry weight, 6,500 lb: second-lightest of nine, between the 25MBH (6,195 lb) and the 27RB (6,750 lb).
• Dry tongue weight, 720 lb: second-lightest of nine, between the 25MBH (695 lb) and the 26FK (745 lb).
• Dry tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 11.1%: third-smallest of nine, between the 26FK (10.9%) and the 25MBH (11.2%).
• Cargo capacity, 1,500 lb: fifth-smallest of nine, between the 32RL (1,470 lb) and the 32QBH (1,550 lb).
• Interior height, 6 ft 10 in: tallest of nine, level with the 27RB; next are the 25MBH, 26FK and five others (6 ft 9 in).
• GVWR, 8,000 lb: shared with the 27RB; of nine, one lower and six higher, nearest the 25MBH (7,500 lb) and the 26FK (8,400 lb).
• Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 18.8%: shared with the 26FK; of nine, six smaller and one larger, nearest the 29RL (18.5%) and the 29BH (19.2%).
• Length, 32 ft 10 in: shared with the 27RB; of nine, two shorter and five longer, nearest the 26FK (32 ft 1 in) and the 29BH (34 ft 9 in).
• Sleeping capacity, 6: shared with the 27RB, 29RL and 32RL; of nine, one smaller and four larger, nearest the 26FK (4) and the 25MBH (8).

Next to the 25MBH (2024 page), the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 27RK is 305 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 500 lb higher, has 195 lb more cargo capacity, has a dry tongue weight 25 lb heavier, is 2 ft 2 in longer, stands 1 in taller, has 1 in more interior height, has a grey tank 31 gal larger, has a black tank 0.5 gal larger and sleeps two fewer; the two publish the same fresh tank.

Next to the 27RB (2021–2024 page), the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 27RK is 250 lb lighter by dry weight, has 250 lb more cargo capacity, has a dry tongue weight 50 lb lighter and stands 1 in lower; the two publish the same GVWR, length, interior height, fresh tank, grey tank, black tank and sleeping capacity.

This floorplan has a published factory record for 2 model years here, 2023 to 2024. The specification does not hold still: GVWR runs from 8,000 lb (2024) to 8,200 lb (2023); dry weight runs from 6,500 lb (2024) to 6,655 lb (2023); dry tongue weight runs from 720 lb (2024) to 785 lb (2023). Each year’s complete record is printed separately below, carrying only that year’s own published figures and source. Nothing 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 27RK on this page is highlighted; every other profiled plan links to its own page.

A full 55-gallon fresh tank is about 457 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 30% of the 27RK’s 1,500 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,044 lb (174 lb per rated berth). Across 9 White Hawk floorplans the water share runs 28% to 37%, and 4 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: White Hawk 32QBH at 29% and White Hawk 32RL at 31%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
