04 Notes on this floorplan
What Bontrager does not publish for the Compact 10HD
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
500 lb dry and 1,163 lb GVWR, against this model’s 1,500 lb and 2,340 lb.
1,700 lb dry and 3,140 lb GVWR, against this model’s 1,500 lb and 2,340 lb.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 26-gallon fresh tank is about 216 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 26% of the Compact 10HD’s 840 lb cargo capacity, leaving 624 lb (312 lb per rated berth). Across 3 Compact floorplans the water share runs 15% to 26%, and this plan’s is the highest. Nearest on that share: Compact 12ROK at 17%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
