East to WestAlta

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.

01 What Alta is

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.

Across the whole Alta roster the published dry weights run from 3,998 lbs to 10,334 lbs, cargo capacities from 1,202 lbs to 4,717 lbs, and tongue weights from 470 lbs to 1,350 lbs. Exterior lengths run 22 to 38 feet. Those are East to West's figures for a standard build, captured from the factory line listing and confirmed against each floorplan's own factory page.

There is one thing to know before comparing Alta against anything else: East to West publishes no GVWR for this line. Dry weight, cargo capacity and tongue weight are published for every floorplan; the loaded rating is not. The factory's own glossary defines cargo capacity as GVWR minus unloaded weight, so the rating can be worked out - and a figure worked out is not a figure the manufacturer published, so this site does not print one as though it were. The weight label on the trailer itself carries the real number.

02 Floorplans profiled in depth

15 of the 16 Alta floorplans are profiled in full below, each on its own page with the complete factory weight, dimension and tank block. The profiled set is spread across the weight range rather than taken from one end of it, so the lightest and heaviest plans in the line are both represented. Every plan profiled here publishes a full field set and, where East to West publishes a GVWR, passes the dry-plus-cargo arithmetic check.

Every figure in this table is a East to West factory publication for 2026, captured twice - from the line listing and from each floorplan's own factory page - and cross-checked field by field. East to West publishes no sleeping capacity, axle count, tire size or MSRP for this line, so there are no columns for them.

03 Also in the 2026 line

The remaining 1 Alta floorplan is catalogued here from the factory's published figures. 1 of them are East to West dealer-stock-only plans, which are real floorplans but are not orderable through the normal channel. A plan is catalogued rather than profiled when the factory has not yet published its full field set, when its own published figures disagree with each other, or simply because the profiled set is capped. Nothing in this table is estimated.

Catalogued plans carry the factory figures East to West publishes and nothing else. A row reading “Not published” means the factory does not publish that field for that plan - it is never a placeholder for a figure this site could not be bothered to find.

M27 The 2027 Alta roster

East to West’s 2027 Alta roster, read 23 Oct 2026: eighteen floorplans. It is a separate record from the 2026 sections above and nothing is merged between them. Fourteen 2026 floorplans carry over and keep their pages, each now showing its 2027 record in a block of its own. 2410KML, 2650KRD are new for 2027 and profiled. The rest are listed with the reason against each. East to West publishes no GVWR for this line.

04 How to choose

Sort this line by the constraint you actually have. If the tow vehicle is fixed, start at the weight column: the lightest plan in the roster is the 1600MRB-LE at 3,998 lbs dry and the heaviest is the 3250KXT at 10,334 lbs, and that spread is wide enough that the two ends are not the same buying decision. If the tow vehicle is not fixed, sort by cargo capacity instead - the 2870KTH carries the most at 4,717 lbs, and payload is the number that runs out first on a long trip.

Do not sort by floorplan number. East to West's codes encode length loosely and layout not at all, and this site does not decode them into layout claims. Two plans with adjacent numbers in this roster can differ by hundreds of pounds of dry weight and by more than that in tongue weight, which is the figure that determines what the tow vehicle has to be.

Where East to West publishes a floorplan description it is quoted on the plan page and identified as factory marketing copy rather than a specification. Where it publishes none, the plan page says so instead of describing a layout that nobody has verified. That is the difference between a catalogue and a brochure.

05 What to weigh before buying

What this line is

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.

Five fields East to West does not publish, and GVWR is one of them

Sleeping capacity, axle count, tire size, MSRP and GVWR are all absent from East to West's specification channel for Alta. The GVWR absence is the unusual one and it is not an omission on this page: the factory spec block runs tongue weight, unloaded weight, cargo capacity, dimensions and tanks, and stops. Any GVWR you see quoted for a Alta came from somewhere other than East to West's own channel.

Match the tow vehicle honestly

The plans here run from 3,998 lbs to 10,334 lbs dry with tongue weights of 470 lbs to 1,350 lbs. Dry weight is not towing weight - water, batteries, propane, gear and dealer-installed accessories all sit on top of it, and tongue weight rises with them. East to West's own footnote calls unloaded weight an estimated average for a standard build. Read your own door sticker rather than a brochure maximum, and weigh the trailer loaded the way you actually travel.

Coverage is not complete: this list is a starting point, not a clearance (how it is built), so check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy and again before you tow.

How this count is drawn. A report is counted here only when NHTSA’s own model field names this line. What the owner typed in the description is never used to attribute a report: our line names are ordinary English words, and an owner writing “imagine my surprise when the axle went” or naming the state of Montana is not reporting a Grand Design Imagine or a Keystone Montana.

Read these as reports, not as findings. Complaints are submitted by owners and NHTSA does not verify them; no complaint here has been confirmed as a defect, and none of them is a recall. The sample is also self-selected — only owners motivated to file appear in it — so a high count tracks how many units a line sold at least as much as how well it was built. Use the pattern, not the total: a component that keeps recurring is worth inspecting on any used unit. File or search complaints at NHTSA.
