Heartland Bighorn 39RK vs Jayco North Point 365RKTS
2026 Fifth Wheel comparison · side-by-side specs, verdict, and who each is best for.
Quick verdict
These two rear-kitchen luxury Fifth Wheel rigs price within $3,143 of each other but split on length and amenity strategy. The Heartland Bighorn 39RK stretches 43.25 feet, weighs 15,200 lb dry, hits 18,200 lb GVWR with 2,960 lb hitch weight, and runs $121,725 with theater seating, residential fridge, four-season prep, and washer/dryer prep. The Jayco North Point 365RKTS is shorter at 40.42 feet, weighs 14,505 lb dry on a 17,300 lb GVWR with 2,695 lb hitch, and prices $124,868 - $3,143 over the Bighorn.
Jayco fills in the gaps the Heartland leaves unpublished: the North Point 365RKTS spec sheet shows 75-gal fresh / 87-gal grey / 50-gal black tanks, 120-gal LP, 400W solar, electric fireplace, full bath, king bed, outdoor kitchen, and 5-Star Handling Package. The Bighorn 39RK leaves slides count, fresh/grey/black gallons, bed config, and solar all blank in its spec sheet - so it's hard to evaluate beyond the headline length and weight numbers.
Verdict: the North Point 365RKTS is the better-documented Fifth Wheel choice with 400W solar, outdoor kitchen, and electric fireplace standard. The Bighorn 39RK earns the nod only if you specifically want the 43.25-foot length advantage.
