2001 Jayco Eagle 285 BHS Fifth Wheel – One Owner, Used Around Eight to Ten Times – Indoor Stored 20+ Years
$10,000 (open to reasonable offers)
Looking for a solid, well-kept older fifth wheel that hasn’t been beat up by the road or the sun? This is it.
This 2001 Jayco Eagle 285 BHS bunkhouse was bought new by the previous owners who planned to use it a lot more than they did. Her husband passed away about 10 years ago, and so it never got used as much. We bought it with plans to use it part-time on some property, but those plans fell through. No one else has owned it, and it’s never been lived in full-time. Total use is around eight to ten trips — basically a handful of weekends.
What makes it different: It spent over 20 years stored indoors in a climate-controlled shop. It was only moved outside about four months ago. No sun fade on the white aluminum skin, original Eagle graphics still look good, no cracked seals, no leaks. Roof and undercarriage are clean. Age shows in the calendar, not in weather damage or heavy miles. Inside is just as clean — no stains in the carpet, no damage anywhere, just a spotless interior.
Details: • Bunkhouse layout: Queen bed up front (basic mattress), bunks in the rear, dinette • One slide • Full kitchen with appliances + bathroom • Original sofa was removed years ago (reason uncomfortable) — replacement seating was planned but never installed, so the space is open • Tandem axles, rear ladder, spare tire • Leland pin box, 13,000 GVWR • Washington title in hand, RVIA certified • Passed original WA L&I inspection in 2001 • Passed a full inspection this summer — systems came back in good working condition
Tires are original from the long storage period and will need replacing soon. Wheels and brakes are solid.
You’re getting a sound, lightly used shell with working systems and a clean inspection on file. For a 25-year-old trailer, this is about as good as it gets.
$10,000. Open to reasonable offers. Title in hand. Serious inquiries only. Located in the Mount Vernon / Skagit County area. Local meet or we can help arrange transport.
