dry weight 11,560 lb + fresh water (52 gal, full) 434 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb. Brochure dry weight omits water, propane, batteries and your gear; this estimate doesn't.

Tongue weight, loaded~1,804 lb (14%)
Cargo capacity1,940 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS — 23 OF 95

Judged the way the app judges: estimated loaded weight against each vehicle's rating less a 10% margin — per model year, because the 40RLTS's published weights changed mid-run.

FINDING ONE

Common — usually several for sale within a day’s drive. Why: Jayco is a volume manufacturer; 12-year production run. Estimated from build volume and production span — not a count of live listings.

THE READ

Rear living, twin sofas, twelve model years — the couples Bungalow, and the one that kept selling long enough to be renumbered 402RLTS for 2027.
