01 What makes it unique
Black Series lists the 2027 TH22 at 6,847 lb dry, a GVWR of 10,000 lb and a tongue weight of 900 lb. Black Series prints no cargo carrying capacity for it, so none is given here; the federal label inside the trailer carries one.
It is 28.2 ft long. Black Series prints its tanks as 31.7 gal fresh, 13.2 gal grey, 13.2 gal black.
Among the 8 models Black Series lists for 2027 with a published dry weight, it is number 6 from the lightest, in a range from 5,080 lb (HQ12) to 7,247 lb (HQ21 Balcony). Every figure in that comparison is Black Series’, for the same model year.
Every number on this page was read on 5 Nov 2026 from Black Series’ 2027 Spec & Pricing Guide, the maker’s own dated document for model year 2027.
How the TH22 differs from the other seven Black Series floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Length, 28 ft 2 in: longest of eight; next is the Balcony (27 ft).
- Fresh tank, 31.7 gal: smallest of eight; next are the HQ15, HQ17 and HQ21 (63.4 gal).
- Grey tank, 13.2 gal: smallest of eight; next are the Balcony, HQ12 and two others (26 gal).
- Black tank, 13.2 gal: smallest of eight; next are the Balcony, HQ12 and two others (26 gal).
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 13.1%: second-largest of six, between the HQ12, HQ15 and two others (10%) and the TH19 (14.6%).
- Dry weight, 6,847 lb: third-heaviest of eight, between the HQ19 (6,525 lb) and the HQ21 (7,187 lb).
- Tongue weight, 900 lb: heaviest of six, level with the TH19; next is the HQ21 (718 lb).
- Sleeping capacity, 6: largest of eight, level with the TH19; next is the HQ17 (5).

Towing it
Check your vehicle. Enter the ratings from your owner’s manual and the door-pillar placard.
Compares your figures with this page’s published GVWR (10,000 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,500 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern.
Loaded range: 10–15% of GVWR on the tongue, a rule of thumb, not a measurement of this unit. No truck ratings or hitch classes (why; NHTSA, DOT HS 809 433).

04 Notes on this floorplan
What Black Series does not publish for the TH22
Black Series prints no cargo carrying capacity, tire size, interior height for this model, so none is given. Nothing is filled from a sibling model, 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). Those figures come from the trailer itself and govern the towing decision.
05 How it compares
6,525 lb dry and 10,000 lb GVWR, against this model’s 6,847 lb and 10,000 lb.
7,187 lb dry and 10,000 lb GVWR, against this model’s 6,847 lb and 10,000 lb.

11 NHTSA safety record
NHTSA holds 1 recall campaign and 2 owner complaints (model years 2005 on) against the Black Series line (a recall and a complaint are not the same thing).
Too few reports to show a pattern. 2 complaints have been filed on this line — not enough to say what fails most often. They cover electrical system.
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 Black Series line page.
