PERFECT for a Big Family! Amazingly Small Jayco Eagle HT 29.5BHDS

what's going on guys so today we are out here on Hoover RV and marine in Corpus Christi Texas and I am going to show you one of the most unique compact 5th wheel floor plans I have ever had a chance to view this is really cool you're not going to want to miss it hang tight I'll be right back [Music] so you were looking at the Jayco Eagle HT this is the 29.5 VHDs this is really cool no slides on this side but I think you're going to be pretty impressed with the floorplan before we hop inside let's take a look at the numbers on this so this fifth wheel is going to be only about 34 feet long so it's not a very long fifth wheel taking a look at the numbers this is gonna have a gross vehicle weight rating of ten thousand nine hundred and ninety five pounds this is gonna ride on fifty one hundred and forty five pound rated axles and it has a cargo capacity of one thousand five hundred and nineteen pounds relatively light relatively short fifth wheel this is a pretty cool fifth wheel and you can see on this side there are two slides you have a Schwinn tech slide up front which is gonna be a front bedroom wardrobe slide and then you also have a standard rack and pinion slide right here looking underneath this has an 8-inch eye beam frame that's a suitable frame for this just because it is a relatively light fifth wheel and because this is a Jayco product you're gonna see that it has the goodyear endurance tires Jayco partnered with goodyear to essentially put endurance tires on every RV that they produce that's a good thing and it's a bad thing in some ways it's a good thing because on a relatively light fifth wheel like this you have a very solid good load rated tire but when you get up to your really large toy haulers that's where you start kind of seeing the limitation of the endurance it's a great tire but they don't make a G rated tire so you're pretty much stuck with an e rated tire on an RV that should probably have a few rated tire you can see how they have a boxed section below the i-beam here basically that's to increase the height of the RV so you get the overhang clearance you're looking for you can see that you have the Cree 3,000 suspension system which I also like on a relatively light trailer like this you typically don't see an upgraded suspension so to have the more I'd Cree 3000 is very nice again very good axle specs for this trailer very good tires very good suspension now this fifth wheel does have the Thetford SantaCon turbo waist evacuation system basically grinds all that stuff up and helps it go out much smoother or less chance of clogging up 50 amp connection here the back and you have rear storage as well as half pass-through storage on this side I say half because it only goes about halfway and you'll see why once we get to the interior of this specific unit walking around to the back you'll see it has all LED lighting it is wired for a Furion wireless backup camera you see the rear hatch which also accesses this side storage plus you have a trailer receiver that is rated for towing you have your lights connection as well as your chain hookups right there now something that's unique that Jayco and only a few other manufacturers do is they use this turn signal technology where whenever you turn your turn signal on pretty much all the lights on the side are gonna flash with that turn signal which gives you better visibility especially if you're gonna be crossing an intersection or you're gonna be making a wide turn you can see it also has frameless windows coming around to this side let's take a look at this outside kitchen area so one thing I like about their outside kitchen is that they use a really thick baggage doors these are pretty much the same thickness of baggage doors you get on a D RV or a much higher end unit so that's really nice plus nice hydraulic arms this is where you would mount a TV you also have some connections up here as well you have a sink out here a place for storage as well as a nice cooktop this is a very good size outside kitchen it's probably one of the largest outside kitchens I've seen the only thing I don't see is a place for a refrigerator and you really can't fit one right here so my theory is that they put it right here so that's really cool so you have a huge outside kitchen on this Jayco Eagle HT the fact that you have all that countertop space you have a second little hatch just for the refrigerator plus storage next to it very very nice this is probably one of the nicest outside kitchen areas I've seen simply because they give you everything they give you a compact sink a place for your TV a nice awning area essentially a cover in case you're cooking out here a cooktop itself bottle opener storage huge countertop space large refrigerator this is a very large external refrigerator it's still considered compact but it's good plus additional storage next to it I absolutely love this outside kitchen you can see back here has the ground control 3.0 Auto leveling have a little closer look at your tires right here again a Goodyear endurance pre 3000 suspension this is gonna be the back of your water heater this is gonna be the back of your refrigerator coming around let's take a look at the pass-through storage so something that is interesting is that you have the thicker baggage sure on the back but you have the thinner baggage drawers up here but they appear to be much more dense so the material appears to be a denser material it's definitely a heavier weight foam looking underneath here you have your pass-through storage you have your cable antenna plug plus your 110 outlet for a TV if you mount one out here now they do have some plumbing lines that run through this pass-through storage area they're not too bad you can definitely kind of use them to prop up things like chairs and such if you want to put things here on the side so they're not necessarily in the way but they could be if you have larger containers that you want to have a slide in here now you have about a foot and a half of height in here and then the overall width if those weren't there is gonna be about three feet wide narrows down to about two feet ten inches probably on the other side over there plus of course you see the aluminum bath deck up here aluminum framing none of this right here is structural to the frame this is only designed to hold up the flooring system above it which is usually a bathroom or sink something like that and then you have your radiant barrier up there as well I do like the use of dual slam latches here you have your outside speakers right here plus you have an awning appears to be a 20-foot awning that extends over this side right up until you get to the back outside kitchen right here which then kind of takes over with that little lid over the kitchen area this is going to have a standard pin box on the front so you can upgrade it to your favorite pin box on these lower profile units the only thing you really have to be cautious of when you're towing them is that you get the correct bed height clearance right here because these are going to sit a little bit lower than a larger unit the larger units are generally going to have a couple of inches height difference on this overhang so you do want to take that into consideration let's go and take a look inside of this 29.5 VHDs from Jacob has the more I'd step above flip up step plus they give you the little grab handle right here which a lot of people ask about so this helps you stabilize yourself as you're walking up I do like that the doors are friction hinge doors which is really nice coming up inside this is a very very cool floorplan and you can probably see right off the bat why alright so first painting over here to the right you see you have these two huge mirrors and this is just gonna be like a coat closet so you can see inside it's only about three inches deep but you can definitely hang some light coats right there coming around this is simply a big mirror that doesn't open like me over here you have a booth style dinette this could seat four people pretty easily and this does convert into a bed plus you have storage underneath it as well which is very nice some RVs don't do that I don't understand why right here you have theater style seating which do have some controls on the side for heat as well as lighting that's really cool any USB port made by Stacy Stuart over here you have your entertainment and I love the fact that they place it in front of the seating area so if you're gonna be watching TV in here that's really nice you have a very nice laid out kitchen and which is typical to a lot of these Jayco eagles now you see the mixtures of color so you have your darker tones for cabinetry things like that over here you have the lighter tones for trimming around the slides plus you have the cabinetry here which is dark again you kind of have the mixture for the window valances lighter kitchen lighter cabinets a lot of drawers good amount of countertop space considering the size of this fifth wheel quickly look at the price that has an MSRP of sixty-five thousand two hundred and sixty one and it has a sale price of $46.95 awesome you can basically unclip this from the door and now you have the ability to close off the bunk area completely from the living room area that is the first time I've seen this specific type of layout and that is really cool I also like how they use the darker door and it contrasts with the trimming around the awning but taking a look at the bunk area look at that full size bed you know storage you have power outlets lighting its own window then above it you have another bunk more storage power outlets you have a connection for TV and a place to mount it ducted AC through out here plus you have drawers cabinet space this is really nice and storage underneath so they utilized just about all the space that they could for storage this is a very very cool floorplan and I think a lot of people will like this floorplan it is a great combination of living kitchen and bunk house space especially in a relatively compact fifth wheel actually very compact fifth wheel so coming around let's go up the stairs so here is the bathroom area you can see the nice vanity good size medicine cabinet has a good size cornered shower you could be probably around six foot two to fit comfortably in here it is a relatively short fifth wheel for ceiling height in here because it is a mid profile unit so the overall ceiling height isn't quite as tall you can definitely see the amount of space between the ceiling and the roof itself and a lot of that is going to be stuffed full of insulation as well as radiant barrier nice cornered toilet you have about two feet of space from the front of the toilet to the shower stall so you've got plenty of room and because they cornered it you have plenty of room on each side this is your wardrobe slide and your second entrance into the bathroom takes you also into the bedroom nice depth to these little pockets in the side of the cabinet right here you're going to have more storage nice little area to hang clothes over here you have more storage another drawer underneath here nice little shelf right there you have cabinets on each side of the bed as well as more cabinets below nice lighting there you can see how the ceiling slopes down pretty heavily right here that's gonna make it lower profile but if you're getting into bed you can pretty much duct your head down anyways you have your second air conditioning system over here and you have all your wiring for your TV and all which one out right here I like the fact that they use a real door in the bedroom and a real door for the bathroom coming down here you have all your controls it is pre-wired for a 30 amp solar and you have your fuse panel and your breakers down there in this cabinet Jayco is definitely known for trimming off this area very well that's cool that they include a tire pressure gauge all your controls for your lighting your tanks our slides as well as your gauges to determine how full your tanks are you have a dimmer switch right here which is also really nice and one thing I didn't point out earlier this has a whisper quiet air conditioning system for the living area so that is really nice and again something you typically don't see in this price point and in this size of fifth wheel so Jayco has done a really good job with this i absolutely believe this is a great floor plan it is absolutely set up well for a family whether it's a large family or a small family sleeping accommodations - in the bedroom - here in the dinette area so that's for then you could probably have two on each one of those bunks right there because they're each full-size bunks so that's up to eight people sleeping in here that is really cool especially considering it only has one real main slide the other slide is a much smaller wardrobe slide over although I'd love your opinion on this I absolutely love it I think this is a great floorplan Jake oh definitely hit this one out of the park in terms of size and amenities and overall tones and features especially having the whisper quiet a/c anyways guys I hope you enjoyed this video if you haven't had a chance please take
