01 What makes it unique
Keystone publishes three weights for the Coleman Lantern 28RKS: a shipping weight of 7,586 lb, a carrying capacity of 2,134 lb and a hitch weight of 920 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 Coleman Lantern 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.
Keystone’s 2027 floorplan drawing for the 28RKS shows, at the front, a king bed between nightstands and wardrobes, beside a shower bath with linen storage. Mid-coach: a day bed, a pantry, a 15.6-cubic-foot refrigerator and theater seating in a slide, and a booth dinette with an entertainment center with a fireplace and TV over hidden storage in a second slide. At the rear: a kitchen along the rear wall with an air fryer, a knife block and a sink. It draws two slide-outs and 9-foot and 9-foot awnings. Outside it labels an outdoor kitchen and pass-through storage. Layouts change with options; check the unit itself.
Keystone’s 2027 floorplan page for the 28RKS lists 74 standard and optional items in 8 groups. Systems and running gear it lists as standard: I-beam frame with stamped steel cross-members & outriggers; 15,000 BTU ducted A/C; 50 AMP service with 2nd A/C prep; 30,000 BTU furnace; 42,000 BTU Suburban tankless water heater; 65" LED Smart TV; USB A + C plugs; Air fryer/convection/microwave; 16 cubic foot 12V refrigerator; Flex Fry; 2 burner flush mount gas range with glass cover and built in Air Fryer; and Interior and exterior LED lighting. Standard on the 28RKS but not on every Coleman Lantern floorplan page Keystone publishes (8 compared): 2.6 cubic foot outside refrigerator; Day Bed; 72" slide height; Theater seating; Electric fireplace; Hidden pantry; and Extra large 30x40 shower. Marked optional: Spare tire kit.
Tank capacities are 54 gal fresh, 68 gal gray and 34 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.
Against the 2 Coleman Lantern floorplans profiled here, this one is the 2nd by Keystone’s shipping weight, in a range from 5,898 lb (25RK) to 7,586 lb (28RKS). 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 2 Nov 2026 from Keystone’s own floorplan page for the Coleman Lantern 28RKS. That page carries no model year, so the year comes from the roster page that links it, which lists the Coleman Lantern 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 28RKS differs from the other six Coleman Lantern floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Shipping weight (Keystone’s term), 7,586 lb: second-heaviest of seven, between the 29RKS (7,019 lb) and the 32BHS (7,639 lb).
- Carrying capacity (Keystone’s term), 2,134 lb: second-largest of seven, between the 25REX (2,103 lb) and the 25RBS (2,135 lb).
- Hitch weight as Keystone lists it, 920 lb: third-heaviest of seven, between the 25RBS (766 lb) and the 29RKS (992 lb).
- Hitch weight as a share of shipping weight, 12.1%: third-largest of seven, between the 25RBS (12%) and the 32BHS (13.1%).
- Length, 32 ft 11 in: shared with the 28BHS; of seven, three shorter and two longer, nearest the 25RBS, 25REX and 25RK (29 ft 11 in) and the 29RKS (33 ft 11 in).
- Sleeping capacity, 4: shared with the 29RKS; of seven, three smaller and two larger, nearest the 25RBS, 25REX and 25RK (3) and the 28BHS and 32BHS (8).
Next to the 29RKS, the nearest lighter floorplan by shipping weight, the 28RKS is 567 lb heavier by shipping weight, has 153 lb more carrying capacity, has a hitch weight 72 lb lighter and is 1 ft shorter; the two publish the same exterior height, fresh tank, grey tank and sleeping capacity.
Next to the 32BHS, the nearest heavier floorplan by shipping weight, the 28RKS is 53 lb lighter by shipping weight, has 73 lb more carrying capacity, has a hitch weight 78 lb lighter, is 4 ft shorter and sleeps four fewer; 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 Coleman Lantern floorplan family
Keystone lists 8 Coleman Lantern floorplans for 2027. 2 have a complete Keystone figure set and no existing page here, and are profiled, from 5,898 lb to 7,586 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 Coleman Lantern
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 Coleman Lantern those figures come from the trailer, not from this page, and they govern the towing decision.
05 How it compares
5,898 lb shipping weight against this plan’s 7,586 lb (Keystone’s figures, same series, same model year).
07 Where this floorplan sits
Closest sibling: the Coleman Lantern 29RKS, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 2 of the 5 fields both publish (this plan first): length 32 ft 11 in vs 33 ft 11 in; hitch weight 920 lb vs 992 lb. They match on sleeps, fresh tank and grey tank.

11 NHTSA safety record
NHTSA holds 11 recall campaigns and 2 owner complaints (model years 2005 on) against the Coleman 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 structure.
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 Coleman line page.
