2027 Keystone Arcadia Select28SLS

Keystone publishes three weights for the Arcadia Select 28SLS: a shipping weight of 7,960 lb, a carrying capacity of 1,940 lb and a hitch weight of 1,690 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 3rd 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 28SLS. 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 28SLS differs from the other two Arcadia Select floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

• Shipping weight (Keystone’s term), 7,960 lb: heaviest of three; next is the 27SBH (7,868 lb).
• Carrying capacity (Keystone’s term), 1,940 lb: smallest of three; next is the 27SBH (2,032 lb).
• Hitch weight as Keystone lists it, 1,690 lb: heaviest of three; next is the 27SBH (1,520 lb).
• Hitch weight as a share of shipping weight, 21.2%: largest of three; next is the 25SRD (19.6%).
• Sleeping capacity, 4: smallest of three; next is the 25SRD (5).
• Length, 32 ft 7 in: second-shortest of three, between the 25SRD (29 ft 2 in) and the 27SBH (32 ft 8 in).

Next to the 27SBH, the nearest lighter floorplan by shipping weight, the 28SLS is 92 lb heavier by shipping weight, has 92 lb less carrying capacity, has a hitch weight 170 lb heavier, is 1 in shorter and sleeps four fewer; the two publish the same exterior height, fresh tank and grey tank.

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.
