2026 East to West Alta3175RK

The Alta 3175RK leaves East to West's factory at 9,133 lbs dry with 2,247 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 55-gallon fresh tank spends 457 lbs of the 2,247 lbs before anything else goes in.

Dry tongue weight is 1,180 lbs, or 13% of the dry weight. Ten to fifteen percent is the conventional band for a bumper-pull trailer, and this plan sits inside it as published. Tongue weight is not fixed: it moves with how the trailer is loaded, and weight added ahead of the axles raises it. A weight-distribution hitch is the normal fitment at this tongue load, and the tow vehicle's tongue-weight limit is a separate number from its trailer-weight limit.

Tank capacities are 55 gallons fresh, 90 grey and 30 black, 120 gallons of waste capacity against 55 gallons of supply. The ratio is what governs how long the trailer can sit off hookups: waste capacity exceeds fresh, so the fresh tank is the binding constraint and refilling extends the stay. East to West publishes these three figures per floorplan, and they are the factory's numbers rather than a segment average.

Against the rest of the Alta roster this is the 15th of 16 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. Comparing floorplans inside one line is more reliable than comparing across brands, because every figure here comes from the same factory channel on the same day.

A useful way to read these figures is to stop planning against the dry weight. Nobody tows a trailer at 9,133 lbs: that is the weight before water, batteries, propane, bedding, food, tools and anything the dealer bolted on. Load half the published cargo capacity and this plan is already near 10,257 lbs on the road. Because East to West publishes no loaded rating for this line, the ceiling has to come from the trailer's own weight label rather than from this page, and the comparison you make against the tow vehicle should use the loaded figure.

Every number above was captured twice from East to West and checked against itself before it was published. The line roster block and the individual floorplan page are two separate factory renderings of the same trailer, and this plan's 4 shared figures agree exactly on both. There is no published GVWR on this line, so the usual arithmetic check - dry plus cargo equals the rating - has nothing to test against here. Where a figure is missing from this page it is because East to West does not publish it in this channel, not because it was hard to find - and the row says so rather than being quietly dropped.

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. 3175RK is a Alta designation and this site does not decode it into a layout claim.

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 LE models light enough to sit behind a mid-size SUV, 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.

This floorplan carries its water comfortably. A full 55-gallon fresh tank is roughly 20% of the 2,247-pound cargo capacity, leaving the 3175RK with a usable gear budget even when you tow full.

The published dry tongue weight of 1,180 pounds is 13% of the 9,133-pound dry weight, which sits inside the 10–15% band usually quoted for stable towing. It is still a dry figure: loading the front pass-through and the fresh tank both push it up.

Tank balance is generous here: 55 gallons of fresh against 90 grey and 30 black, so waste capacity keeps pace with supply and the fresh tank is the constraint that ends a dry stay.

Ranked by dry weight, the 3175RK sits 14 of 15 in the Alta line: 9,133 pounds against a line that runs from 3,998 to 10,334 pounds. That position is the useful thing to know, because the plans immediately either side of it are the real alternatives.

Either side of it in the same line: Alta 3150KBH is 435 pounds lighter at 8,698 lb dry; and Alta 3250KXT is 1,201 pounds heavier at 10,334 lb dry.

Against the 3175RK: the Coachmen Catalina 323MAZE is 3 lb lighter; the Sandstorm 2600 is 4 lb lighter and 3 ft shorter; the Momentum 30G is 6 lb heavier and 3 ft shorter. Those are differences in the published numbers only — what they cost, how they are built and how they live are separate questions each of those pages answers on its own terms.

Those are the nearest travel trailers from other lines by weight — one per line, picked by proximity on that figure and nothing else. They are listed so the same tow vehicle can be checked against real alternatives, not because they are equivalent inside; layout, build and price diverge sharply across that group.

For scale, the Alta floorplans profiled here run 3,998 to 10,334 pounds dry and 23 to 38 feet of exterior length across 15 plans. Where a floorplan falls in that spread usually says more about which vehicle can tow it, and which site it fits, than the layout name does.

Every profiled floorplan in this line, with the full weight table, is on the Alta line hub.

This catalog tracks 18 specification fields per floorplan. Named sources publish 10 of them for the 3175RK. The rest are not shown, because the alternative is reading a figure across from a sibling floorplan or from what the segment usually does — and a number nobody published is worth less than an admitted gap.

Not published for this floorplan: GVWR, interior height, sleeps, slide count, axle count, tire specification, refrigerator, air conditioning. If you find one of these in a manufacturer document for this plan, it belongs on this page.

The completeness figure at the foot of this page (83%) measures the same thing on the full field set: it is a measurement of how much this floorplan’s manufacturer publishes, not of how much research went into the page.

How every figure here was sourced and checked is set out on the methodology page.
