2026 East to West Alta2850KRL

The Alta 2850KRL leaves East to West's factory at 6,851 lbs dry with 2,727 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 53-gallon fresh tank spends 440 lbs of the 2,727 lbs before anything else goes in.

Tongue weight is 778 lbs, 11% 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: 90 gallons of grey and black capacity against 53 gallons of fresh water, so fresh water runs out first (tank sizes by length).

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

Plan the tow on loaded weight, not the 6,851 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 8,215 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. 2850KRL is a Alta designation and this site does not decode it into a layout claim.

How the 2850KRL 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.

• Cargo capacity, 2,727 lb: sixth-largest of seventeen, between the 3175RK (2,247 lb) and the 2800KBH (2,772 lb).
• Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 11.4%: sixth-smallest of seventeen, between the 1900MMK (11.2%) and the 2800KBH (11.5%).
• Length, 33 ft 7 in: sixth-longest of seventeen, between the 2870KTH (33 ft 1 in) and the 2800KBH (33 ft 8 in).
• Tongue weight, 778 lb: seventh-lightest of seventeen, between the 2650KRD (750 lb) and the 2800KBH (784 lb).
• Dry weight, 6,851 lb: eighth-heaviest of seventeen, between the 2800KBH (6,812 lb) and the 2400KTH (7,343 lb).
• Exterior height, 11 ft 2 in: shared with the 1900MMK, 2375KRK and five others; of seventeen, two lower and seven taller, nearest the 1800MBH-LE (10 ft 7 in) and the 2410KML (11 ft 3 in).

Next to the 2800KBH, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 2850KRL is 39 lb heavier by dry weight, has 45 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 6 lb lighter and is 1 in shorter; the two publish the same exterior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Next to the 2400KTH, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 2850KRL is 492 lb lighter by dry weight, has 1,495 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 387 lb lighter, is 5 ft 6 in longer, stands 1 ft 2 in lower and has a fresh tank 53 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 53-gallon fresh tank is about 440 lb of water, 16% of the 2850KRL’s 2,727 lb cargo capacity, leaving 2,287 lb. Across 17 Alta floorplans the water share runs 13% to 37%, and 13 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Alta 2800KBH at 16% and Alta 1900MMK at 19%.
