01 What makes it unique
East to West lists the 2027 Acclaim 16BH at 3,149 lb dry, a GVWR of 4,815 lb, a net carrying capacity of 1,666 lb and a tongue weight of 415 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 20' 4" long and 10' 4" high. East to West prints its tanks as 41 gal fresh, 30 gal grey, 30 gal black.
Among the 7 Acclaim floorplans East to West’s 2027 Acclaim floorplan pages list with a published dry weight, it is the lightest, in a range from 3,149 lb (Acclaim 16BH) to 6,233 lb (Acclaim 27BH). Every figure in that comparison is East to West’s, for the same model year.
Every number on this page was read on 8 Nov 2026 from East to West’s own 2027 Acclaim floorplan page for the Acclaim 16BH, whose heading names the model year 2027.

- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 34.6%: second-largest of seven, between the 16RB (32.9%) and the 23RDNS (37.9%).
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 13.2%: second-largest of seven, between the 18BHS and 26RB (12.7%) and the 16RB (14.8%).
- Cargo capacity, 1,666 lb: fourth-smallest of seven, between the 16RB (1,606 lb) and the 24RD (1,802 lb).
- Exterior height, 10 ft 4 in: shared with the 18BHS; of seven, one lower and four taller, nearest the 16RB (10 ft 3 in) and the 23RDNS, 24RD and two others (10 ft 10 in).
- Fresh tank, 41 gal: largest of seven, level with the 16RB and 18BHS; next are the 23RDNS, 24RD and two others (40 gal).

Towing it
Check your vehicle. Enter the ratings from your owner’s manual and the door-pillar placard.
Compares your figures with this page’s published GVWR (4,815 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (722 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern.
Loaded range: 10–15% of GVWR on the tongue, a rule of thumb, not a measurement of this unit. No truck ratings or hitch classes (why; NHTSA, DOT HS 809 433).

04 Notes on this floorplan
What East to West does not publish for the Acclaim 16BH
East to West prints no tire size, interior height and sleeping capacity for this model, so none is given. Nothing is filled from a sibling model, a different model year or a dealer listing.
Read the label on the trailer
The weight label every RV trailer carries by law (49 CFR 571.110 and 571.120) governs the towing decision, not this page.
05 How it compares
3,279 lb dry and 4,885 lb GVWR, against this model’s 3,149 lb and 4,815 lb.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 41-gallon fresh tank is about 340 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 20% of the Acclaim 16BH’s 1,666 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,326 lb. Across 7 Acclaim floorplans the water share runs 12% to 35%, and 3 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Acclaim 24RD at 18% and Acclaim 16RB at 21%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
