Jayco Eagle HT 5th Wheel reviews

We purchased this 5th Wheel in August of 2022, used it for 2 weeks and had to take it back to the shop (mid September) for 12 different warranty repairs. It took until April 2023 to receive parts. One of the issues is the pantry door, it did not stay latched and warped. Our dealership repaired the door back to Jayco Specs, but added additional latches to keep secured and leveled. The Jayco magnet does not do that. After just using the RV again a week ago, the pantry door has warped again and the hinges are hard to open. Also, 3 of the drawers in the bunk portion continue to fall apart and will not stay shut while driving, this interferes with extending the slide out. Show less

This camper has been a joy to pull and camp in with our kids. Since family is growing we need to get a bigger camper, for we are going to be making extended stays out west and south. This is the only reason for selling current camper we just need more room for a growing family. Show less

Bought our 2022 28.5RSTS new in July 2022. The Eagle series used to be upper level, that is no longer the case. That being said overall the quality is decent for a lighter weight 5th wheel. My biggest complaints are the poor sealing of the undercarriage. Mouse access holes galore! I spent countless hours sealing holes in the under fabric from wire routing, and just poor sealing. The other big complaint is insulation, it has none. Definitely not the all season rig it's advertised as. Awning is nearly useless, terrible design. Outside weather proofing is other wise excellent. Tows well, and interior amenities function as intended. Show less

I bought this 2014 year-model in 2017 used from a non-Jayco dealer. My previous experience was with pop-up tent trailers. My wife requested that I upgrade to have HVAC and a bathroom. When my SUV died and I bought a Tundra V-8, I anticipated pulling a travel trailer, not a 5th wheel. So, when I decided I would rather have a 5th wheel, my research led me to this Jayco model as one of a few that the Tundra, equipped with a sliding hitch, was rated to handle, even when fully loaded. It is a good pairing; and I once had the occasion to pass a slower moving truck at 75 MPH as I neared the top of a long, steep, climb over a mountain, without the Tundra over-working. Especially given the light-weight construction of the Eagle HT26.5RLS, it has been very durable and is in pretty good shape after being driven about 3,500 miles on a total of 18 trips including 113 nights over the six years we have had it since buying it used. I love the floor plan, which speaks for itself. This is ideal for taking a long weekend or a week at time with my wife, but if I intended to travel with kids and/or take a longer trip of mostly one-night stops, I would choose a different model with more space and/or automatic levelling. The floorplan speaks for itself and is a matter of personal opinion, but I wouldn’t change a thing. We often remove one of the recliner chairs and leave it at home to create more room. As for rating the manufacturer, it was out of warranty when I bought it, but Jayco corporate was easy to deal with and helpful on things such as getting detailed wiring diagrams and ordering parts. I have absolutely no regrets, which is rare for RV owners! Show less

I am so not impressed, bought used thinking surly a 4 year old 5th wheel would be much better than my 91 Fleetwood Wilderness. Wow was I wrong. Furnace issues, fridge issues. Bad wiring, also 14ga. For outlets, lights flash when Furnace attempts to light. Research online has revealed thats lots of others have the same issues. Infact so far the only thing that seems to work as it should is the television. If this is the norm. Stay away from Jayco. Show less

This has been a fabulous rig for our family. We have been especially happy with the outdoor kitchen and entertainment center. We downsized from a Class A pusher upon our retirement, and are now looking to upgrade back to a pusher to become snowbirds! No complaints or issues with this 5th wheel at all. Show less

These are wonderful 5th wheels and tow easily behind my F-150. I have towed it behind the V-6 Ecoboost as well as the V-8 502 and never had any problem. The best thing is that it is EASILY towable with a short bed truck with the Reese Revolution hitch which I highly recommend! Show less

Bought brand new from a local dealer. Have had some issues but the service and support from both the dealer and Jayco has been second to none. I've looked at other manufactures, I think Jayco build is much better. When you purchase a camper, these campers are basically hand built with many components. The warranty that Jayco offers is one of the best. Show less

Well,we were volunteering at a federal park and we decided we needed to upgrade are 8 year old Winnebago travel trailer because not enough storage and livable space. Found this camper at a Tampa bay rv show and knew JAYCO eagles at the top for campers,well… light switch above dining table stopped working at switch but through jaycommand could still control, then it rained and we didn’t notice it burnt a hole through the slide above the light,it must of shorted. Faucet sprayer never worked/ black drain valve doesn’t open or close all the way/ water leaking somewhere under kitchen sink / fireplace fan making noises / latch that holds the screen door to the main door is stripped/ wrong ac Manuel with all other Manuel’s. And we’ve had camper for less than 2 months. Maybe we’ve noticed all this because we have been living in it. Hopefully they fix it all with no issues. That will be my follow up after I drop it off in Ohio so they can take time to fix. Show less
