01 What makes it unique

The Jayco White Hawk 29RL is a 35' 9" travel trailer in the MY2024 White Hawk roster. Jayco publishes a dry weight of 6,930 pounds against a 8,500-pound GVWR, and the two tie out exactly with the published 1,570-pound cargo carrying capacity — 6,930 + 1,570 = 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 820 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 1,570 pounds, 18% 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' 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 29RL 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 29RL 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.

  • Cargo capacity, 1,570 lb: third-largest of nine, between the 32QBH (1,550 lb) and the 26FK (1,580 lb).
  • Dry tongue weight, 820 lb: third-heaviest of nine, between the 29BH (815 lb) and the 32BH (965 lb).
  • Dry weight, 6,930 lb: fourth-heaviest of nine, between the 29BH (6,865 lb) and the 32RL (7,530 lb).
  • Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 18.5%: fourth-largest of nine, between the 25MBH (17.4%) and the 26FK and 27RK (18.8%).
  • Dry tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 11.8%: fourth-largest of nine, between the 27RB (11.4%) and the 29BH and 32BH (11.9%).
  • Length, 35 ft 9 in: fourth-longest of nine, between the 29BH (34 ft 9 in) and the 32RL (36 ft 10 in).
  • GVWR, 8,500 lb: shared with the 29BH; of nine, four lower and three higher, nearest the 26FK (8,400 lb) and the 32RL (9,000 lb).
  • Sleeping capacity, 6: shared with the 27RB, 27RK and 32RL; of nine, one smaller and four larger, nearest the 26FK (4) and the 25MBH (8).

Next to the 29BH (2021–2024 page), the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 29RL is 65 lb heavier by dry weight, has 65 lb less cargo capacity, has a dry tongue weight 5 lb heavier, is 1 ft longer and sleeps four fewer; the two publish the same GVWR, exterior height, interior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Next to the 32RL (2021–2024 page), the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 29RL is 600 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 500 lb lower, has 100 lb more cargo capacity, has a dry tongue weight 55 lb heavier, is 1 ft 1 in shorter and has a grey tank 10 gal smaller; the two publish the same exterior height, interior height, fresh tank, black tank and sleeping capacity.

Specifications by model year

This floorplan has a published factory record for 2 model years here, 2023 to 2024. The specification does not hold still: GVWR runs from 8,500 lb (2024) to 8,750 lb (2023); dry weight runs from 6,930 lb (2024) to 7,105 lb (2023); dry tongue weight runs from 820 lb (2024) to 835 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.

20246,9308,5001,57082035' 9"up to 6ST225/75R15'E'

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 2024 record from the source this catalogue originally profiled. On the weights, overall length and tire size, that record and Jayco’s own 2024 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.

Federal tire recalls naming this size. NHTSA’s recall file names ST225/75R15 in 2 tire recalls: 14T015000 (Dynamic Tire Corp., 2014; make TOWMAX STR; model ST); 17T014000 (Triangle Tire USA, 2017; make TRIANGLE; model TR643). A tire recall covers only the brands, lines and DOT date codes it lists, and this page does not know which brand of tire this trailer was built with, so read the brand and DOT code on your own sidewalls before relying on this list. Only 242 of NHTSA’s 788 tire recalls name a size in their summary, so a size with no match is not a clean record (NHTSA recall file, read 12 Oct 2026).

What changed for the 2023 model year

2023 is the earliest model year of the 29RL on this site, so there is no earlier record to set it against. Section 01 compares it with 2024.

Source for 2023. Specifications reflect the 2023 model year as published by Jayco on its own 2023 model page for this floorplan, and are dry factory figures for a base unit. Options, dealer-installed equipment and cargo all add weight. A travel trailer puts its tongue load on the tow vehicle's hitch and through its rear axle, so the loaded tongue must be checked against the receiver's rating and the vehicle's payload, not against its tow rating. Dry weight plus cargo capacity ties out exactly to the published GVWR for this model year. CamperTrailers.com publishes verified manufacturer data and is not affiliated with Jayco, Inc.

Payload check. Budget loaded, not dry: subtract the loaded range, every passenger, the bed and cab load and a weight-distributing hitch from the payload on your tow vehicle’s door-pillar placard (49 CFR 571.110 S4.3).

Check your vehicle. Enter the ratings from your owner’s manual and the door-pillar placard.

Compares your figures with this page’s published GVWR (8,500 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,275 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern.

Loaded range: 10–15% of GVWR on the tongue, a rule of thumb, not a measurement of this unit. No truck ratings or hitch classes (why; NHTSA, DOT HS 809 433).

03 The White Hawk floorplan family

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 29RL on this page is highlighted; every other profiled plan links to its own page.

Rows are White Hawk floorplans profiled on this site, captured from Jayco’s own MY2024 floorplan pages — the last model year Jayco published for this line. A tenth floorplan, 24MRB, is catalogued on the line hub without a page because Jayco publishes no spec table for it. White Hawk is not the same product as Jay Feather and no Jay Feather figure appears on this page.

04 Notes on this floorplan

Figures are Jayco’s own, and they tie out

Dry 6,930 lb + cargo 1,570 lb = GVWR 8,500 lb exactly. Nothing on this page is computed from the other two, estimated from the segment, or taken from a dealer listing.

Dry means empty, and you will not tow it empty

6,930 lb is the unit as built, before water, propane, batteries, cargo or dealer-installed options. Weigh the loaded trailer on a public scale before matching it to a tow vehicle.

Tongue load rides the rear axle

820 lb dry tongue transfers to the hitch and the rear axle. A weight-distributing hitch moves that load around; it does not make it disappear.

MY2024 is the last year Jayco published for this line

Jayco’s own sitemap carries White Hawk for MY2023 and MY2024 and no later model year. This page therefore holds the last record Jayco published for this floorplan, and there is no later year to compare it against. Five White Hawk floorplan codes reappear under the Jay Feather badge from MY2025 — 26FK, 27RK, 29RL, 32QBH and 32RL — and measured against Jayco’s own published records, the exterior length differs on every one of the five. They are not the same trailer, and nothing on this page is carried over from one.

What this page does not publish

Jayco’s factory spec table for this floorplan carries no slide count, no bed size, no refrigerator or air-conditioner spec, no tire size and no MSRP. Those rows are absent here rather than filled from a sibling floorplan or a second source. Jayco’s published awning length is held in this catalogue’s saved copy of the factory page but not printed, because the catalogue tracks no awning field to print it into.

06 Loading it for a trip

A full 55-gallon fresh tank is about 457 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 29% of the 29RL’s 1,570 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,114 lb (186 lb per rated berth). Across 9 White Hawk floorplans the water share runs 28% to 37%, and 6 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: White Hawk 26FK at 29% and White Hawk 32QBH at 29%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).

07 Where this floorplan sits

Closest sibling: the White Hawk 27RK, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 5 of the 9 fields both publish (this plan first): length 35 ft 9 in vs 32 ft 10 in; dry weight 6,930 lb vs 6,500 lb; GVWR 8,500 lb vs 8,000 lb; cargo capacity 1,570 lb vs 1,500 lb; hitch weight 820 lb vs 720 lb. They match on sleeps, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

11 NHTSA safety record

NHTSA holds 19 recall campaigns and 32 owner complaints (model years 2005 on) against the White Hawk line (a recall and a complaint are not the same thing).

What to look at on a used one. Across the 32 complaints filed on this line the most-reported components are suspension (28%), equipment (19%) and service brakes (12%).

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 White Hawk line page.
