01 What makes it unique
The Alta 3250KXT leaves East to West's factory at 10,334 lbs dry with 1,366 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 1,366 lbs before anything else goes in.
Dry tongue weight is 1,195 lbs, or 12% 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, 60 grey and 30 black, 90 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 16th of 16 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 3,998 lbs to 10,334 lbs. It is the heaviest plan in the line, so the tow vehicle should be settled before the floorplan is. 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 10,334 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 11,017 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. 3250KXT is a Alta designation and this site does not decode it into a layout claim.

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 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.

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 What owners & reviewers report
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 dry 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
Every figure on this page is a factory publication for a standard build. East to West's own footnote on unloaded weight calls it an estimated average based on a standard build with optional equipment, and options, dealer-installed accessories and the previous owner's additions all move it. The only weight that governs your towing decision is the one under your own trailer on a scale, loaded the way you actually travel.
05 How it compares
8,698 lbs dry against this plan's 10,334 lbs, a difference of 1,636 lbs. Same line, same factory channel, same model year - so the gap is a real one rather than a difference in how two brands measure.
4,222 lbs of cargo capacity, the highest of the 8 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
Fresh water is the single biggest line in this floorplan’s load plan. A full 55-gallon tank is about 34% of the 1,366-pound cargo capacity — enough that whether you tow with water aboard is a real decision on the 3250KXT rather than a detail.
| Weight budget | Figure | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Cargo capacity as published (CCC) | 1,366 lb | Everything you add: gear, water, propane, batteries, food, people’s belongings. |
| Fresh tank filled (55 gal × 8.34 lb) | −459 lb | Water is the heaviest thing most owners add, and it is added first. |
| Cargo budget left with a full fresh tank | 907 lb | 34% of this plan’s capacity is spent before a single bag is loaded. |
The published dry tongue weight of 1,195 pounds is 12% of the 10,334-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 60 grey and 30 black, so waste capacity keeps pace with supply and the fresh tank is the constraint that ends a dry stay.
07 Where this floorplan sits
Of the 8 Alta floorplans profiled here, the 3250KXT carries the highest dry weight at 10,334 pounds. It is the top of the line by weight, which makes tow-vehicle capability the first thing to settle rather than the last.
Either side of it in the same line: Alta 3150KBH is 1,636 pounds lighter at 8,698 lb dry.
| Comparable travel trailers | GVWR (lb) | Dry (lb) | Sleeps | Length |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3250KXT | — | 10,334 | — | 38 ft 5 in |
| Reflection 342BHTS | 11,295 | 10,300 | 7 | 37 ft 9 in |
| Zinger 390DB | 13,200 | 10,517 | 8 | 43 ft 1 in |
| Cherokee Timberwolf 27MDK | 11,924 | 10,124 | — | 35 ft 11 in |
| Salem Villa 40FDEN | — | 10,574 | — | 42 ft 5 in |
| Eagle 312BHOK | 11,995 | 10,015 | 8 | 38 ft 8 in |
| Wildwood Heritage Glen 301FAM | — | 9,893 | — | 38 ft 10 in |
Against the 3250KXT: the Reflection 342BHTS is 34 lb lighter; the Zinger 390DB is 183 lb heavier and 5 ft longer; the Cherokee Timberwolf 27MDK is 210 lb lighter and 2 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 8 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.

08 Common questions about the 3250KXT
How much can the 3250KXT carry?
Cargo carrying capacity is 1,366 pounds. That is the whole budget: water, propane, batteries, gear and everything you bring. Filling the 55-gallon fresh tank uses about 459 pounds of that.
What is the tongue weight of the 3250KXT?
The published dry tongue weight is 1,195 pounds. It is measured empty; loaded, it runs higher, and it comes out of your tow vehicle’s payload rather than its tow rating.
What are the tank capacities on the 3250KXT?
Fresh 55 gallons, grey 60 gallons, black 30 gallons. Tank sizes set how long the floorplan can sit away from hookups, and the smallest of the three is what ends the stay.
How long is the 3250KXT?
Exterior length is 38' 5". Measure against your site length and your storage before committing — the exterior figure is the one that has to fit, and it includes the tongue or pin box.
Every figure in these answers is read from this page’s verified specification table. Where the manufacturer publishes nothing, the question is not answered rather than estimated.
09 What this page publishes, and what it does not
This catalog tracks 18 specification fields per floorplan. Named sources publish 10 of them for the 3250KXT. 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.
