01 What makes it unique
Keystone publishes three weights for the Cougar Half-Ton 29RLP: a shipping weight of 8,465 lb, a carrying capacity of 2,785 lb and a hitch weight of 1,060 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 Cougar Half-Ton 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, 80 gal gray and 40 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 11 Cougar Half-Ton floorplans profiled here, this one is the 8th by Keystone’s shipping weight, in a range from 6,090 lb (21LBK) to 9,590 lb (30REP). 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 19 Oct 2026 from Keystone’s own floorplan page for the Cougar Half-Ton 29RLP. That page carries no model year, so the year comes from the roster page that links it, which lists the Cougar Half-Ton 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 29RLP differs from the other six Cougar Half-Ton travel trailers. Most distinctive first. Each rank counts only the siblings that publish that field, and a figure most of them share is left out.
- Shipping weight (Keystone’s term), 8,465 lb: heaviest of seven; next is the 29RKE (8,385 lb).
- Carrying capacity (Keystone’s term), 2,785 lb: largest of seven; next is the 29RKE (2,740 lb).
- Hitch weight as Keystone lists it, 1,060 lb: heaviest of seven; next is the 25FKD (970 lb).
- Length, 33 ft 9 in: second-longest of seven, between the 26LBW (30 ft 10 in) and the 29RKE (33 ft 10 in).
- Hitch weight as a share of shipping weight, 12.5%: shared with the 21LBK; of seven, three smaller and two larger, nearest the 25MLE (12.1%) and the 26LBW (12.7%).
Next to the 29RKE, the nearest lighter floorplan by shipping weight, the 29RLP is 80 lb heavier by shipping weight, has 45 lb more carrying capacity, has a hitch weight 135 lb heavier and is 1 in shorter; the two publish the same exterior height, fresh tank, grey tank and sleeping capacity.

04 Notes on this floorplan
What Keystone does not publish for the Cougar Half-Ton
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 Cougar Half-Ton those figures come from the trailer, not from this page, and they govern the towing decision.
05 How it compares
8,385 lb shipping weight against this plan’s 8,465 lb (Keystone’s figures, same series, same model year).
9,179 lb shipping weight and 1,821 lb carrying capacity, against this plan’s 8,465 lb and 2,785 lb.

NHTSA holds 47 recall campaigns and 148 owner complaints against the Cougar line. They are counted separately: a recall is a confirmed defect with a remedy, a complaint one owner’s unverified account.
What to look at on a used one. Across the 148 complaints filed on this line the most-reported components are tires (34%), structure (16%) and equipment (15%).
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 Cougar line page.
