01 What makes it unique

East to West lists the 2027 Acclaim 18BHS at 3,939 lb dry, a GVWR of 4,900 lb, a net carrying capacity of 961 lb and a tongue weight of 500 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.

It is 23' 3" 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 3rd-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 18BHS, whose heading names the model year 2027.

How the 18BHS differs from the other six Acclaim floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

  • Cargo capacity, 961 lb: smallest of seven; next is the 27BH (1,517 lb).
  • Dry weight, 3,939 lb: third-lightest of seven, between the 16RB (3,279 lb) and the 23RDNS (4,673 lb).
  • GVWR, 4,900 lb: third-lowest of seven, between the 16RB (4,885 lb) and the 23RDNS (7,520 lb).
  • Tongue weight, 500 lb: third-lightest of seven, between the 16RB (485 lb) and the 23RDNS (520 lb).
  • Length, 23 ft 3 in: third-shortest of seven, between the 16RB (21 ft 7 in) and the 23RDNS (26 ft 10 in).
  • Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 19.6%: smallest of seven, level with the 27BH; next is the 24RD (23.8%).
  • Exterior height, 10 ft 4 in: shared with the 16BH; 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 16BH and 16RB; next are the 23RDNS, 24RD and two others (40 gal).
  • Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 12.7%: shared with the 26RB; of seven, three smaller and two larger, nearest the 27BH (12%) and the 16BH (13.2%).

Next to the 16RB, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 18BHS is 660 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 15 lb higher, has 645 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 15 lb heavier, is 1 ft 8 in longer and stands 1 in taller; the two publish the same fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Next to the 23RDNS, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 18BHS is 734 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 2,620 lb lower, has 1,886 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 20 lb lighter, is 3 ft 7 in shorter, stands 6 in lower and has a fresh tank 1 gal larger; the two publish the same grey tank and black tank.

Towing it

Tow rating needed4,900 lb
Published tongue weight500 lb
Loaded tongue weight, rule of thumb500–735 lb
Receiver hitch rating needed4,900 lb towed / 735 lb tongue
Payload check. Budget loaded, not dry: subtract the loaded range, every passenger, the bed and cab load and a weight-distributing hitch from the payload on your tow vehicle’s door-pillar placard (49 CFR 571.110 S4.3).

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 (4,900 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (735 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). The range starts at the published figure, because loaded is never lighter than that.

04 Notes on this floorplan

What East to West does not publish for the Acclaim 18BHS

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.

Across 7 Acclaim floorplans the water share runs 12% to 35%, and this plan’s is the highest. Nearest on that share: Acclaim 27BH at 22%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
