Really love the floor plan of the Jayco Eagle HT 29.5 BHDS. However the GVWR is just too low. There is one at the local dealership that with all their options only has 950# cargo capacity. I mean holy smokes! The fresh water tank would be 400# of that if I wanted to boondock! Leaving me only 550# for all my gear!?!

I love this floor plan, but come on Jayco! Give it at least the same weight rating as the the Eagle 295 DBOK travel trailer with the same floor plan. That travel trailer has a GVWR of 10950# vs the 5ther version at 9995#.

We love ours. We were not looking at weights when we bought it, just floor plans. The 29.5BHOK had the floor plan we liked. Ours is 11,000 GVWR (2100lb of cargo).

Weight savings. Don't know. Fewer slides? Aluminum frame?

The HT's are basically just an 8" smaller gauge frame verses the 10" on the next line.
My 26.5 has been to Alaska, Yellowstone, Tetons, and back to TN with no problems except some surface rust above the tires, which I sanded and re painted.

Well we have been full timing in our 29.5BHDS
The 30.5 was not available when we purchased or we would have done that one.

So far so good.
