dry weight 16,075 lb + fresh water (106 gal, full) 884 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb. Brochure dry weight omits water, propane, batteries and your gear; this estimate doesn't.

GVWR (the sticker maximum)21,000 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~3,811 lb (21%)
Cargo capacity4,925 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 15 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 395's published weights changed mid-run. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.

FINDING ONE

Common: usually several for sale within a day’s drive. Why: Jayco is a volume manufacturer; still in production. Estimated from build volume and production span, not a count of live listings.

OUR TAKE

13'6" garage and a 21,000 lb GVWR — the heavy hauler of the line, and it needs a dually.
