01 What makes it unique

Bontrager lists the Radical 10RAD at 1,700 lb dry, a GVWR of 3,140 lb, a net carrying capacity of 1,140 lb and a tongue weight of 140 lb. Bontrager’s own figures do not add up — a conflict, stated not resolved: 1,700 lb dry plus 1,140 lb carrying capacity is 2,840 lb, against a printed GVWR of 3,140 lb. All three are shown as Bontrager prints them and none is corrected; the federal label on the trailer is the one to trust.

It is 13' 2" long and 6' 10" high. Bontrager prints its tanks as 26 gal fresh, 0 gal grey, 0 gal black.

Among the 2 Radical floorplans Bontrager’s Radical model pages on bontrageroutdoors.com (no model year stated) lists with a published dry weight, it is number 1 from the lightest, in a range from 1,700 lb (Radical 10RAD) to 2,100 lb (Radical 12RAD). Every figure in that comparison is Bontrager’s, read from the same set of model pages.

Every number on this page was read on 6 Nov 2026 from Bontrager’s own Radical model pages on bontrageroutdoors.com (no model year stated) for the Radical 10RAD, which names no model year; the figures are shown as the maker published them, and no year is claimed for them.

04 Notes on this floorplan

What Bontrager does not publish for the Radical 10RAD

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
