01 What makes it unique
The Alta 3150KBH leaves East to West's factory at 8,698 lbs dry with 1,202 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 1,202 lbs before anything else goes in.
Tongue weight is 1,100 lbs, 13% 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: 120 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 15th 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 8,698 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 9,299 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. 3150KBH is a Alta designation and this site does not decode it into a layout claim.
How the 3150KBH 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, 1,202 lb: smallest of seventeen; next is the 1800MBH-LE (1,311 lb).
- Length, 38 ft 1 in: second-longest of seventeen, between the 3175RK (37 ft 11 in) and the 3250KXT (38 ft 5 in).
- Dry weight, 8,698 lb: third-heaviest of seventeen, between the 2870KTH (8,633 lb) and the 3175RK (9,133 lb).
- Exterior height, 11 ft 5 in: fourth-tallest of seventeen, between the 3010KBH and 3175RK (11 ft 4 in) and the 2400KTH (12 ft 4 in).
- Tongue weight, 1,100 lb: fifth-heaviest of seventeen, between the 3010KBH (1,070 lb) and the 2400KTH (1,165 lb).
- Grey tank, 90 gal: largest of seventeen, level with the 2775KFK and 3175RK; next are the 2375KRK, 2400KTH and eight others (60 gal).
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 12.6%: seventh-largest of seventeen, between the 1600MRB-LE (11.8%) and the 2375KRK (12.7%).
Next to the 2870KTH, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 3150KBH is 65 lb heavier by dry weight, has 3,515 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 250 lb lighter, is 5 ft longer, stands 1 ft lower, has a fresh tank 57 gal smaller and has a grey tank 30 gal larger; the two publish the same black tank.
Next to the 3175RK, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 3150KBH is 435 lb lighter by dry weight, has 1,045 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 80 lb lighter, is 2 in longer, stands 1 in taller and has a fresh tank 2 gal smaller; the two publish the same grey tank and black tank.

The 2027 model year, as East to West lists it
East to West’s own floorplan page lists the 2027 Alta 3150KBH with the figures below (read 23 Oct 2026). They are that year’s record. The specifications above are the 2026 record; the two are not merged, and neither fills a gap in the other. Against the 2026 record above, these figures differ: hitch weight 1,100 lb in 2026, 1,265 lb in 2027; unloaded vehicle weight 8,698 lb in 2026, 9,163 lb in 2027; cargo carrying capacity 1,202 lb in 2026, 2,137 lb in 2027. East to West publishes no GVWR for this floorplan, so none is shown and none is computed.

03 The Alta floorplan family
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.
| Floorplan | Nominal | Dry weight (lb) | Cargo, CCC (lb) | Notable |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1600MRB-LE | 22' 10" | 3,998 | 1,672 | LE Travel Trailers |

| 3250KXT | 38' 5" | 10,334 | 1,366 | Xtreme Travel Trailers |
Alta is East to West's core travel-trailer line, published across sixteen floorplans for 2026 in four groupings: LE travel trailers, travel trailers, toy haulers and one Xtreme plan. East to West publishes dry weight, cargo capacity, hitch weight, all three exterior dimensions and all three tank capacities for every plan on the roster. It publishes no GVWR for any of the sixteen, so the loaded rating row reads not published rather than showing dry weight plus cargo capacity added together -- that sum is an inference, not a rating, and a trailer's real limit can sit below it. One plan, 2810KIK, is marked dealer stock only and is catalogued with its weights rather than profiled. East to West is a Forest River company, but Alta is not a Forest River-badged trailer and its specifications come from East to West's own channel.
04 Notes on this floorplan
What East to West does not publish for this line
Sleeping capacity, axle count, tire size and MSRP are absent from East to West's specification channel for Alta, so they are absent here. They are not estimated from the segment, not carried over from a sibling floorplan, and not taken from a dealer listing quoting itself. A tire size in particular is a safety-relevant number that differs between two codes a digit apart, and this site does not guess one.
There is no factory GVWR for this trailer
East to West publishes dry weight, cargo capacity and tongue weight for every Alta floorplan and publishes no GVWR for any of them. The factory's own glossary defines cargo capacity as GVWR minus UVW, which means the rating can be worked out - and a figure you worked out is not a figure the manufacturer published, so this page does not print one. Use the weight label on the trailer itself, which every East to West unit carries.
Weigh it before you tow it
East to West calls its unloaded weight an estimated average for a standard build, and options and dealer add-ons change it, so weigh your own trailer loaded the way you travel (how figures are verified).
05 How it compares
8,633 lbs dry against this plan's 8,698 lbs, a difference of 65 lbs.
9,133 lbs dry, 435 lbs more than this plan, and 2,247 lbs of cargo capacity against this one's 1,202 lbs.
4,717 lbs of cargo capacity, the highest of the 17 Alta floorplans profiled here. If payload rather than length is the binding constraint, that is the plan to compare against.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 53-gallon fresh tank is about 440 lb of water, 37% of the 3150KBH’s 1,202 lb cargo capacity, leaving 762 lb. Across 17 Alta floorplans the water share runs 13% to 37%, and this plan’s is the highest. Nearest on that share: Alta 2410KML at 34%.
07 Where this floorplan sits
Closest sibling: the Alta 3175RK, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 5 of the 7 fields both publish (this plan first): length 38 ft 1 in vs 37 ft 11 in; dry weight 8,698 lb vs 9,133 lb; cargo capacity 1,202 lb vs 2,247 lb; hitch weight 1,100 lb vs 1,180 lb; fresh tank 53 gal vs 55 gal. They match on grey tank and black tank.

11 NHTSA safety record
NHTSA holds 8 recall campaigns and 2 owner complaints (model years 2005 on) against the Alta line (a recall and a complaint are not the same thing).
Too few reports to show a pattern. 2 complaints have been filed on this line — not enough to say what fails most often. They cover power train and unknown or other.
Recall coverage here is not complete, and complaints are owners’ unverified reports (how this record is built). Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Alta line page.
