2026 East to West Alta1800MBH-LE

The Alta 1800MBH-LE leaves East to West's factory at 4,284 lbs dry with 1,311 lbs of cargo capacity. East to West publishes no GVWR for this line, so the loaded rating is not quoted on this page and is not computed from the other two figures. What the cargo number covers is defined by the factory: fresh water, gear, food, batteries and every dealer-installed accessory come out of it. Fresh water is 8.3 lb per gallon, so filling the 46-gallon fresh tank spends 382 lbs of the 1,311 lbs before anything else goes in.

Tongue weight is 495 lbs, 12% of the dry weight as published; it rises as the trailer is loaded and counts against the tow vehicle’s tongue-weight and payload limits (tongue weight by size).

Off hookups: 60 gallons of grey and black capacity against 46 gallons of fresh water, so fresh water runs out first (tank sizes by length).

Against the rest of the Alta roster this is the 2nd of 17 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 3,998 lbs to 10,334 lbs. It sits in the lighter third of the line.

Plan the tow on loaded weight, not the 4,284 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 4,940 lbs. East to West publishes no loaded rating for this line, so the ceiling is the one on the trailer’s own weight label (how to read trailer weights).

East to West’s line listing and this floorplan’s own factory page agree on all 4 shared figures. No GVWR is published for this line, so dry plus cargo has no rating to check against. A missing row means East to West does not publish that figure (how figures are verified).

East to West publishes no floorplan description for this plan in the channel this page is built from - only the numeric specification block. Rather than describe a layout from the floorplan code, which would be a guess dressed as a fact, this page carries what the factory publishes and says where it stops. 1800MBH-LE is a Alta designation and this site does not decode it into a layout claim.

How the 1800MBH-LE differs from the other sixteen Alta floorplans. Most distinctive first. Sibling pages may cover other model years than this one (2026). How these ranks are worked out.

• Dry weight, 4,284 lb: second-lightest of seventeen, between the 1600MRB-LE (3,998 lb) and the 1900MMK (5,463 lb).
• Cargo capacity, 1,311 lb: second-smallest of seventeen, between the 3150KBH (1,202 lb) and the 2410KML (1,312 lb).
• Tongue weight, 495 lb: second-lightest of seventeen, between the 1600MRB-LE (470 lb) and the 1900MMK (610 lb).
• Length, 24 ft: second-shortest of seventeen, between the 1600MRB-LE (22 ft 10 in) and the 1900MMK (25 ft).
• Exterior height, 10 ft 7 in: second-lowest of seventeen, between the 1600MRB-LE (10 ft 6 in) and the 1900MMK, 2375KRK and six others (11 ft 2 in).
• Fresh tank, 46 gal: smallest of seventeen, level with the 1600MRB-LE; next is the 1900MMK (48 gal).
• Grey tank, 30 gal: smallest of seventeen, level with the 1600MRB-LE, 1900MMK and 2410KML; next are the 2375KRK, 2400KTH and eight others (60 gal).
• Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 11.6%: shared with the 3250KXT; of seventeen, seven smaller and eight larger, nearest the 2800KBH (11.5%) and the 1600MRB-LE (11.8%).

Next to the 1600MRB-LE, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 1800MBH-LE is 286 lb heavier by dry weight, has 361 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 25 lb heavier, is 1 ft 2 in longer and stands 1 in taller; the two publish the same fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Next to the 1900MMK, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 1800MBH-LE is 1,179 lb lighter by dry weight, has 836 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 115 lb lighter, is 1 ft shorter, stands 7 in lower and has a fresh tank 2 gal smaller; the two publish the same grey tank and black tank.

Alta is the broadest roster East to West publishes, and the spread is the reason to read the table rather than the floorplan numbers. Sixteen floorplans run from 3,998 lb dry on the single-axle LE plans to 10,334 lb at the top, which is not one trailer class but three: a pair of single-axle LE models, ten mainstream tandem-axle trailers, and two toy haulers plus one Xtreme plan at the heavy end. Crucially all of them are bumper pull. Tongue weight runs 470 to 1,350 lb across the whole roster, and even the toy haulers -- which East to West groups separately -- load 1,165 to 1,350 lb onto a ball, not a pin. That matters because a toy hauler badge usually implies a fifth wheel and here it does not. Cargo capacity runs 1,202 to 4,717 lb.

A full 46-gallon fresh tank is about 382 lb of water, 29% of the 1800MBH-LE’s 1,311 lb cargo capacity, leaving 929 lb. Across 17 Alta floorplans the water share runs 13% to 37%, and 4 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Alta 2775KFK at 25% and Alta 2375KRK at 30%.
