01 What makes it unique
Keystone publishes three weights for the Arcadia Select 27SBH: a shipping weight of 7,868 lb, a carrying capacity of 2,032 lb and a hitch weight of 1,520 lb. Those are Keystone’s own terms, and this page keeps them. Keystone does not call the first figure dry or unloaded weight, does not say the hitch figure is measured dry, and publishes no GVWR for any Arcadia Select floorplan, so none of the three is renamed here and no loaded rating is worked out from them. The trailer’s own federal weight label, inside the door, is the document that carries its UVW, cargo capacity and GVWR.
Tank capacities are 54 gal fresh, 60 gal gray and 30 gal waste, as Keystone lists them. Fresh water weighs about 8.3 lb per US gallon, so a full fresh tank is roughly 448 lb on the road before anything else is loaded. The tire size Keystone lists is ST225/75R15E; a fifth wheel puts its pin load into the truck bed, so it counts against the truck’s payload rather than its tow rating.
Against the 3 Arcadia Select floorplans profiled here, this one is the 2nd by Keystone’s shipping weight, in a range from 7,413 lb (25SRD) to 7,960 lb (28SLS). Every figure in that comparison comes from the same Keystone page type for the same model year, so the comparison inside the series is like for like.
Every number on this page was read on 4 Nov 2026 from Keystone’s own floorplan page for the Arcadia Select 27SBH. That page carries no model year, so the year comes from the roster page that links it, which lists the Arcadia Select floorplans under the heading “2027 Floorplans”. Keystone notes that its website reflects the most recent production run and that features and specifications change during the year.
How the 27SBH differs from the other two Arcadia Select floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Hitch weight as a share of shipping weight, 19.3%: smallest of three; next is the 25SRD (19.6%).
- Length, 32 ft 8 in: longest of three; next is the 28SLS (32 ft 7 in).
- Sleeping capacity, 8: largest of three; next is the 25SRD (5).
- Shipping weight (Keystone’s term), 7,868 lb: second-lightest of three, between the 25SRD (7,413 lb) and the 28SLS (7,960 lb).
- Carrying capacity (Keystone’s term), 2,032 lb: second-smallest of three, between the 28SLS (1,940 lb) and the 25SRD (2,487 lb).
- Hitch weight as Keystone lists it, 1,520 lb: second-lightest of three, between the 25SRD (1,455 lb) and the 28SLS (1,690 lb).
Next to the 25SRD, the nearest lighter floorplan by shipping weight, the 27SBH is 455 lb heavier by shipping weight, has 455 lb less carrying capacity, has a hitch weight 65 lb heavier, is 3 ft 6 in longer and sleeps three more; the two publish the same exterior height, fresh tank and grey tank.
Next to the 28SLS, the nearest heavier floorplan by shipping weight, the 27SBH is 92 lb lighter by shipping weight, has 92 lb more carrying capacity, has a hitch weight 170 lb lighter, is 1 in longer and sleeps four more; the two publish the same exterior height, fresh tank and grey tank.

Towing it
Can’t check: Keystone publishes no GVWR. A tow check needs the GVWR, the most the trailer may weigh loaded, and Keystone prints none for this floorplan, so this site does not work one out. Read the GVWR on the trailer’s own federal weight label and hold it against your tow vehicle’s ratings.
03 The Arcadia Select floorplan family
Keystone lists 4 Arcadia Select floorplans for 2027. 3 have a complete Keystone figure set and no existing page here, and are profiled, from 7,413 lb to 7,960 lb shipping weight; the others are catalogued on this page with the reason against each. Keystone publishes shipping weight, carrying capacity and hitch weight for these trailers, and no GVWR.

04 Notes on this floorplan
What Keystone does not publish for the Arcadia Select
No GVWR, no unloaded (dry) weight under that name, no dry hitch weight and no exterior width appear on Keystone’s floorplan pages for this series, so those rows read as not published. Nothing is filled from a sibling floorplan, a different model year or a dealer listing.
Read the label on the trailer
Federal rules put a load-carrying label inside every RV trailer: its unloaded weight with full propane, its cargo carrying capacity and its GVWR (49 CFR 571.110 and 571.120). On a Arcadia Select those figures come from the trailer, not from this page, and they govern the towing decision.
05 How it compares
7,413 lb shipping weight against this plan’s 7,868 lb (Keystone’s figures, same series, same model year).
7,960 lb shipping weight and 1,940 lb carrying capacity, against this plan’s 7,868 lb and 2,032 lb.

11 NHTSA safety record
NHTSA holds 5 recall campaigns and 6 owner complaints (model years 2005 on) against the Arcadia line (a recall and a complaint are not the same thing).
Too few reports to show a pattern. 6 complaints have been filed on this line — not enough to say what fails most often. They cover service brakes and engine.
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 Arcadia line page.
