Jayco White Hawk · 2021–202429BH

The Jayco White Hawk 29BH is a 34' 9" travel trailer in the MY2024 White Hawk roster. Jayco publishes a dry weight of 6,865 pounds against a 8,500-pound GVWR, and the two tie out exactly with the published 1,635-pound cargo carrying capacity — 6,865 + 1,635 = 8,500. 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 815 pounds, or 12% 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 1,635 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' 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 29BH 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 4 model years here, 2021 to 2024, and the specification does not hold still. Across those years dry weight ranges from 6,865 lb in 2024 to 7,200 lb in 2023, a spread of 335 lb; dry tongue weight ranges from 795 lb in 2022 to 860 lb in 2023, a spread of 65 lb. Even the published sleeping capacity moves (10 and 810). 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 29BH on this page is highlighted; every other profiled plan links to its own page.

This floorplan carries its water comfortably. A full 55-gallon fresh tank is roughly 28% of the 1,635-pound cargo capacity, leaving the 29BH with a usable gear budget even when you tow full.

The published dry tongue weight of 815 pounds is 12% of the 6,865-pound dry weight, which sits inside the 10–15% band usually quoted for stable towing. It is still a dry figure: loading the front pass-through and the fresh tank both push it up.

Nothing above changes the ceiling. Loaded to its 8,500-pound GVWR the 29BH is towing 1,635 pounds more than its 6,865-pound dry figure, and that is the number your vehicle has to be rated for — not the brochure weight.

Tank balance is generous here: 55 gallons of fresh against 61 grey and 30 black, so waste capacity keeps pace with supply and the fresh tank is the constraint that ends a dry stay.

Ranked by GVWR, the 29BH sits 5 of 9 in the White Hawk line: 8,500 pounds against a line that runs from 7,500 to 9,750 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: White Hawk 26FK is 100 pounds lighter at 8,400 lb GVWR; and White Hawk 29RL matches it exactly at 8,500 lb GVWR.

1 other White Hawk plan shares this floorplan’s 8,500 lb GVWR, so the ranking above separates plans that tow to the same ceiling. On a shared chassis the figure that actually differs between them is cargo capacity and where the weight sits, not the rating.

Against the 29BH: the Jay Flight 265TH is 4 ft shorter and sleeps 6 fewer; the Jay Flight SLX 286BHSW is 1 ft shorter and sleeps 2 fewer. 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 travel trailers 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 White Hawk floorplans profiled here run 6,195 to 8,200 pounds dry and 31 to 38 feet of exterior length across 9 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 White Hawk line hub.

This catalog tracks 18 specification fields per floorplan. Named sources publish 12 of them for the 29BH. 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: slide count, axle count, tire specification, awning, refrigerator, air conditioning. 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 (100%) 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.
