2026 East to West Alta2870KTH

The Alta 2870KTH leaves East to West's factory at 8,633 lbs dry with 4,717 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 110-gallon fresh tank spends 913 lbs of the 4,717 lbs before anything else goes in.

Tongue weight is 1,350 lbs, 16% 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 110 gallons of fresh water, so the grey and black tanks fill before the fresh tank empties (tank sizes by length).

Against the rest of the Alta roster this is the 14th of 17 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 3,998 lbs to 10,334 lbs. It sits in the heavier third of the line.

Plan the tow on loaded weight, not the 8,633 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 10,991 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. 2870KTH is a Alta designation and this site does not decode it into a layout claim.

How the 2870KTH 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, 4,717 lb: largest of seventeen; next is the 2400KTH (4,222 lb).
• Tongue weight, 1,350 lb: heaviest of seventeen; next is the 3250KXT (1,195 lb).
• Fresh tank, 110 gal: largest of seventeen; next is the 2400KTH (106 gal).
• Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 15.6%: second-largest of seventeen, between the 3010KBH (13.7%) and the 2400KTH (15.9%).
• Exterior height, 12 ft 5 in: second-tallest of seventeen, between the 2400KTH (12 ft 4 in) and the 3250KXT (12 ft 7 in).
• Dry weight, 8,633 lb: fourth-heaviest of seventeen, between the 3010KBH (7,823 lb) and the 3150KBH (8,698 lb).
• Length, 33 ft 1 in: seventh-longest of seventeen, between the 2775KFK (32 ft) and the 2850KRL (33 ft 7 in).

Next to the 3010KBH, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 2870KTH is 810 lb heavier by dry weight, has 2,740 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 280 lb heavier, is 2 ft 4 in shorter, stands 1 ft 1 in taller and has a fresh tank 57 gal larger; the two publish the same grey tank and black tank.

Next to the 3150KBH, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 2870KTH is 65 lb lighter by dry weight, has 3,515 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 250 lb heavier, is 5 ft shorter, stands 1 ft taller, has a fresh tank 57 gal larger and has a grey tank 30 gal smaller; the two publish the same 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 110-gallon fresh tank is about 913 lb of water, 19% of the 2870KTH’s 4,717 lb cargo capacity, leaving 3,804 lb. Across 17 Alta floorplans the water share runs 13% to 37%, and 11 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Alta 1900MMK at 19% and Alta 3175RK at 20%.
