When it comes to hitting the open road, few brands inspire confidence and excitement like Jayco. Known for their high-quality RVs, Jayco offers a wide range of models to suit every adventurer’s needs. In our Eagle review, we’re taking a look at comparing our Eagle fifth wheels and travel trailers for sale to help you decide which is the perfect fit for your next adventure.
The Beauty of Jayco Eagle Fifth Wheels
Our Jayco Eagle fifth wheels are the epitome of luxury and convenience. These RVs are designed with a raised forward section that creates a bi-level floorplan, offering more living space and better weight distribution. The fifth wheel’s hitch design also provides greater stability and a smoother towing experience, which is perfect for those long cross-country trips.
Some of the features included in the 5-Star Handling Package include:
- Dexter® ABS brake system with anti-sway
- Dexter® Axles with NEV-R-Adjust® brakes and E-Z Lube® hubs
- Goodyear® Endurance® tires (load range E)
- MORryde® CRE-3000™ rubberized suspension
- Wet bolt fasteners with bronze bushings
Inside, you’ll find spacious living areas, high-end appliances, and thoughtful details like large windows for natural light and panoramic views. Features like the Jayco-exclusive HELIX Cooling System ensure you stay comfortable, no matter the weather. Plus, the ample storage space allows you to bring all your essentials without feeling cramped.
Some of the interior features you’ll enjoy include:
- 43” – 50” 4K Ultra LED HD Smart TV in living room Bathroom skylight
- Bedroom TV prep
- P.A.P. prepped bedroom

The Versatility of Jayco Eagle Travel Trailers
Our Jayco Eagle travel trailers are perfect for those who value flexibility and ease of use. Unlike fifth wheels, travel trailers hitch to the back of your tow vehicle, making them compatible with a wider range of vehicles. This can be a significant advantage for those who don’t want to invest in a heavy-duty truck.
Just a few of the exterior and construction features include:
- Climate Shield™ zero-degree tested weather protection:
- Fully enclosed and heated underbelly (ducted)
- 35,000 BTU furnace
- Double layer fiberglass batt insulation in ceiling and floor
- Double sided radiant barrier insulation (roof, floor and behind cap)
- PEX plumbing
- HELIX Cooling System™ (industry exclusive):

- Directional and closeable A/C vents
- Larger return air vents with user accessible filters
These travel trailers offer a range of floorplans to suit different needs, from cozy two-person layouts to family-friendly models with bunk beds and multiple sleeping areas. Despite being more compact than fifth wheels, Jayco Eagle travel trailers don’t skimp on luxury. You’ll find many of the same high-end features, such as residential-style kitchens, entertainment systems, and plush furnishings.
Depending on which floor plan you choose, your Eagle may include the following interior features:
- Blackout roller shades with reflective side throughout
- GE 10 cu. ft. 12V refrigerator
- GE 30 in. over-the-range black and stainless microwave with exhaust fan
- Stainless steel kitchen sink
- Matte black kitchen faucet with pull-out sprayer
- JAYCOMMAND® “Smart RV System”
- Washer/dryer prep
Key Differences to Consider
When choosing between a Jayco Eagle fifth wheel and a travel trailer, consider your towing vehicle, space needs, and travel style. Fifth wheels generally require a larger, more powerful truck, but they offer more living space and stability on the road. Travel trailers are more versatile in terms of towing, making them a great option for those who want flexibility.
Think about how you plan to use your RV. If you’re looking for extended stays or full-time living, a fifth wheel’s extra space and amenities might be worth the investment. For shorter trips and easy maneuverability, a travel trailer could be the better choice.
