East to WestAhara

Ahara is East to West's full-size fifth wheel, and it is a truck decision before it is a floorplan decision. Nine floorplans run 11,759 to 15,794 lb dry across 34ft 5in to 44ft 1in of exterior length, and the pin loads run 2,310 to 3,220 lb on the seven profiled plans. Pin weight is the number to read first, because unlike a tongue load it sits directly on the tow vehicle's payload rating rather than being partly carried by the trailer's own axles -- and 3,220 lb of pin comes off that payload before any passengers or gear are added. Cargo capacity runs 2,731 to 4,401 lb. Two further plans are sold dealer stock only and are catalogued rather than profiled.

Across the whole Ahara roster the published dry weights run from 11,759 lbs to 15,794 lbs, cargo capacities from 2,731 lbs to 4,401 lbs, and pin weights from 2,185 lbs to 3,220 lbs. Exterior lengths run 34 to 44 feet. Those are East to West's figures for a standard build, captured from the factory line listing and confirmed against each floorplan's own factory page.

There is one thing to know before comparing Ahara against anything else: East to West publishes no GVWR for this line. Dry weight, cargo capacity and pin weight are published for every floorplan; the loaded rating is not. The factory's own glossary defines cargo capacity as GVWR minus unloaded weight, so the rating can be worked out - and a figure worked out is not a figure the manufacturer published, so this site does not print one as though it were. The weight label on the trailer itself carries the real number.

7 of the 9 Ahara floorplans are profiled in full below, each on its own page with the complete factory weight, dimension and tank block. The profiled set is spread across the weight range rather than taken from one end of it, so the lightest and heaviest plans in the line are both represented. Every plan profiled here publishes a full field set and, where East to West publishes a GVWR, passes the dry-plus-cargo arithmetic check.

The remaining 2 Ahara floorplans are catalogued here from the factory's published figures. 2 of them are East to West dealer-stock-only plans, which are real floorplans but are not orderable through the normal channel. A plan is catalogued rather than profiled when the factory has not yet published its full field set, when its own published figures disagree with each other, or simply because the profiled set is capped. Nothing in this table is estimated.

East to West’s 2027 Ahara roster, read 23 Oct 2026: eight floorplans. It is a separate record from the 2026 sections above and nothing is merged between them. Six 2026 floorplans carry over and keep their pages, each now showing its 2027 record in a block of its own. 382LK is new for 2027 and profiled. The rest are listed with the reason against each. East to West publishes no GVWR for this line.

Sort this line by the constraint you actually have. If the truck is fixed, start at the weight column: the lightest plan in the roster is the 325RL - DSO at 11,759 lbs dry and the heaviest is the 395FB at 15,794 lbs, and that spread is wide enough that the two ends are not the same buying decision. If the truck is not fixed, sort by cargo capacity instead - the 380FL carries the most at 4,401 lbs, and payload is the number that runs out first on a long trip.

Do not sort by floorplan number. East to West's codes encode length loosely and layout not at all, and this site does not decode them into layout claims. Two plans with adjacent numbers in this roster can differ by hundreds of pounds of dry weight and by more than that in pin weight, which is the figure that determines what the truck has to be.

Where East to West publishes a floorplan description it is quoted on the plan page and identified as factory marketing copy rather than a specification. Where it publishes none, the plan page says so instead of describing a layout that nobody has verified. That is the difference between a catalogue and a brochure.
