01 What makes it unique

The Cougar 364BHL is the big-family flagship of the line — a two-bedroom, bath-and-a-half fifth wheel that keeps its overall length under 40 feet. A rear bunk room with its own half-bath functions as a second bedroom for the kids, a private front bedroom up in the raised nose adds a wardrobe slide for storage, and three slide-outs open the main living level between them. It sleeps ten, and an outside kitchen with a refrigerator and griddle, an automotive windshield bringing natural light into the nose, and oversized exterior storage under the rear bed make it a coach built for families who travel often and stay a while.

This is the heaviest coach in the Cougar line profiled here, and the build is full residential: a five-sided aluminum superstructure, laminated HyperCore composite sidewalls, a walkable one-piece TPO roof under a lifetime limited roofing warranty, and a heated, enclosed underbelly under the Climate Guard package tested 0 to 110 degrees. Tandem 5,100-pound axles ride on H-rated 16-ply tires, four-point auto-leveling handles setup, and the equipment matches: a 16-cubic-foot 12-volt refrigerator, a 33,000-BTU dual-A/C system, a tankless water heater and a 76-gallon black tank sized for a bath-and-a-half and a full family.

At 11,625 pounds dry against a 14,000-pound GVWR it leaves 2,375 pounds of payload, sized for a family's gear, and its 2,380-pound dry pin weight is the highest of any Cougar profiled here — it lands directly on the tow vehicle and rises loaded, so the 364BHL squarely needs a properly equipped three-quarter-ton or one-ton truck, with a one-ton the safer choice once loaded. At 13′4″ tall and nearly 40 feet long it asks for route, clearance and site-length planning. For families who want two real bedrooms, a bath and a half and an outside kitchen in a fifth wheel that still fits most sites under 40 feet, the 364BHL is the top of the Cougar family range.

Loaded weight budget

Loaded weight budget for the 364BHLHorizontal bar. Dry weight 11,625 pounds, then cargo capacity 2,375 pounds, against a GVWR of 14,000 pounds. Dry pin weight 2,380 pounds on the same scale.GVWR 14,000 lbsDry 11,625 lbsCargo capacity 2,375 lbsDry pin weight 2,380 lbs — same scale
Drawn from this page’s published figures. The bar runs from empty to GVWR: the dark band is dry weight, the light band is everything you are allowed to add — water, propane, batteries and gear all come out of it.

Overall length and height are drawn true to scale from the published figures, no exterior width is published for this plan, so no end view is drawn. Axle count is as published; axle position, wheel size and the nose profile are schematic. This is a size drawing, not a floorplan, and not a claim about body shape.

Holding tanks

Published tank capacities on one scale. A full fresh tank is about 626 lbs of water — roughly 26% of this plan’s 2,375 lb cargo capacity, before you load anything else.

These graphics are generated from the same verified record that builds the table above, and are published under this site’s own licence — nothing here is traced from, or derived from, a manufacturer drawing or photo. Where a figure is not published for this plan, the graphic that would need it is omitted rather than estimated. The full record is in the published dataset.

What it takes to tow this

Built from this floorplan’s verified weights. We publish the trailer side only.

Minimum tow rating your vehicle needs14,000 lb
Published dry pin weight2,380 lb
Loaded pin weight, typical range2,380–3,500 lb
Minimum in-bed fifth-wheel hitch capacity14,000 lb towed / 3,500 lb pin
The pin weight above is dry. It is the figure the manufacturer publishes for an empty trailer. Loaded — with water, propane, batteries and your gear — it runs higher, which is why the range row uses loaded weight. Sizing your truck off the dry number under-budgets your payload.
The arithmetic that actually binds. Open your driver’s door and read the payload figure on the yellow-and-white sticker — that number is specific to your truck as built. Subtract from it: loaded pin weight (use the range above), every passenger, everything in the bed and cab. What is left is your margin. Payload, not tow rating, is what most half-ton owners run out of first.

We do not publish tow ratings for specific trucks. A single model can vary by thousands of pounds depending on engine, axle ratio, cab, drivetrain and package — the only authoritative figure is the one on your own door jamb. Loaded pin percentages are industry convention for fifth wheels (15–25% of loaded weight), not a measurement of this unit. Hitch classes are not used here as a rating: SAE J684 covers trailers to 10,000 lb GVWR and does not define Class V, and capacity boundaries differ between manufacturers — read the rating stamped on your hitch. On this plan the convention band’s low end fell below the published dry figure, so the range starts at the published dry weight instead — loaded is never lighter than dry.

03 The Cougar floorplan family

Keystone's Cougar splits into two families. The full-size Cougar is the heavier flagship fifth wheel — 5,100-pound axles, H-rated tires and roughly 13′4″ of height. The Cougar Half-Ton line is engineered to be towable by a properly equipped half-ton truck, and Keystone offers it as both a fifth wheel and a travel trailer — lighter 4,400-pound axles, Goodyear Endurance tires, and lower pin or tongue weights. The 364BHL on this page is highlighted; each other profiled plan links to its own page. The full Cougar catalogue runs to dozens of floorplans across both families; the highest-demand layouts are detailed here and the rest are catalogued on the line hub.

Every full-size Cougar fifth wheel carries a 5-sided aluminum superstructure, laminated HyperCore composite sidewalls, a walkable one-piece TPO roof under a lifetime limited roofing warranty, a heated and enclosed underbelly (Climate Guard, tested 0–110°F), 5,100-pound axles on H-rated 16-ply tires, a 16-cubic-foot 12-volt refrigerator, 50-amp service and four-point auto-leveling. Lengths, weights and equipment change with options and model year — always confirm against the unit's own weight sticker. Additional Cougar and Cougar Half-Ton floorplans are documented on the line hub.

04 What owners & reviewers report

Two real bedrooms and a bath-and-a-half under 40 feet

A rear bunk room with its own half-bath plus a private front bedroom — the 364BHL functions as a two-bedroom coach while staying under 40 feet overall.

Built for families who stay a while

An outside kitchen with refrigerator and griddle, an automotive windshield for natural light, oversized rear exterior storage and a 76-gallon black tank — equipment sized for a full family on long trips.

The highest pin weight in the line here — plan the truck

At 2,380 lb dry the pin weight is the highest of any Cougar profiled here, lands directly on the truck and rises loaded; the 364BHL needs a properly equipped 3/4-ton, with a one-ton the safer choice loaded. Match it to your truck's ratings.

Plan for length and height

At nearly 40 feet long and 13' 4" tall the 364BHL asks for route, clearance and campsite-length planning — confirm site maximums and travel routes before booking.

06 Loading it for a trip

This floorplan carries its water comfortably. A full 75-gallon fresh tank is roughly 26% of the 2,375-pound cargo capacity, leaving the 364BHL with a usable gear budget even when you tow full.

The published dry pin weight of 2,380 pounds is 20% of this floorplan’s 11,625-pound dry weight. Fifth-wheel pin weight rides in the bed of the truck, so it comes off payload rather than off tow rating — and it rises with the trailer as you load it, not in proportion to what you put over the axles.

Nothing above changes the ceiling. Loaded to its 14,000-pound GVWR the 364BHL is towing 2,375 pounds more than its 11,625-pound dry figure, and that is the number your vehicle has to be rated for — not the brochure weight.

Tank balance is generous here: 75 gallons of fresh against 76 grey and 76 black, so waste capacity keeps pace with supply and the fresh tank is the constraint that ends a dry stay.

07 Where this floorplan sits

Of the 5 Cougar floorplans profiled here that publish a GVWR, the 364BHL carries the highest GVWR at 14,000 pounds. It is the top of the line by weight, which makes tow-vehicle capability the first thing to settle rather than the last.

Either side of it in the same line: Cougar 316RLS is 1,100 pounds lighter at 12,900 lb GVWR.

Against the 364BHL: the Eagle 370FB is 1 ft longer and sleeps 5 fewer; the Avenue 32RLS is 5 lb lighter and 4 ft shorter and sleeps 6 fewer; the Model Z 2670 is 5 lb lighter and 9 ft shorter and sleeps 3 fewer. Those are differences in the published numbers only — what they cost, how they are built and how they live are separate questions each of those pages answers on its own terms.

Those are the nearest fifth wheels from other lines by weight — one per line, picked by proximity on that figure and nothing else. They are listed so the same tow vehicle can be checked against real alternatives, not because they are equivalent inside; layout, build and price diverge sharply across that group.

For scale, the Cougar floorplans profiled here run 6,640 to 11,625 pounds dry and 28 to 39 feet of exterior length across 8 plans. Where a floorplan falls in that spread usually says more about which vehicle can tow it, and which site it fits, than the layout name does.

Every profiled floorplan in this line, with the full weight table, is on the Cougar line hub.

08 Common questions about the 364BHL

How much does the 364BHL weigh?

It leaves the factory at 11,625 pounds dry, and its manufacturer-set loaded ceiling (GVWR) is 14,000 pounds. Real towing weight lands between the two and depends entirely on what you load. Use the GVWR when matching a tow vehicle; the dry figure is only useful for comparing floorplans against each other.

How much can the 364BHL carry?

Cargo carrying capacity is 2,375 pounds. That is the whole budget: water, propane, batteries, gear and everything you bring. Filling the 75-gallon fresh tank uses about 626 pounds of that.

What is the pin weight of the 364BHL?

The published dry pin weight is 2,380 pounds. It is measured empty; loaded, it runs higher, and it comes out of your tow vehicle’s payload rather than its tow rating.

What size tow vehicle does the 364BHL need?

Your vehicle needs a tow rating of at least 14,000 pounds — this floorplan’s GVWR — and enough payload left over for the hitch load, passengers and anything in the bed. This site does not publish tow ratings for specific vehicles, because one truck model varies by thousands of pounds across engine, axle ratio, cab and package. The figure that governs is the payload sticker on your own door jamb.

How many people does the 364BHL sleep?

It is rated to sleep 10. Rated sleeping positions include convertible furniture, so count the beds against how you actually travel rather than against the number.

What are the tank capacities on the 364BHL?

Fresh 75 gallons, grey 76 gallons, black 76 gallons. Tank sizes set how long the floorplan can sit away from hookups, and the smallest of the three is what ends the stay.

How long is the 364BHL?

Exterior length is 39' 0". Measure against your site length and your storage before committing — the exterior figure is the one that has to fit, and it includes the tongue or pin box.

Every figure in these answers is read from this page’s verified specification table. Where the manufacturer publishes nothing, the question is not answered rather than estimated.

09 What this page publishes, and what it does not

This catalog tracks 18 specification fields per floorplan. Named sources publish 16 of them for the 364BHL. The rest are not shown, because the alternative is reading a figure across from a sibling floorplan or from what the segment usually does — and a number nobody published is worth less than an admitted gap.

Not published for this floorplan: exterior width, interior height, tire size (a tire description is published, a size is not). If you find one of these in a manufacturer document for this plan, it belongs on this page.

The completeness figure at the foot of this page (99%) measures the same thing on the full field set: it is a measurement of how much this floorplan’s manufacturer publishes, not of how much research went into the page.

How every figure here was sourced and checked is set out on the methodology page.

11 NHTSA safety record

This floorplan belongs to the Cougar line, and NHTSA holds 47 recall campaigns and 148 owner complaints against that line. They are separate records and are not added together — a recall is a manufacturer-confirmed defect with a remedy; a complaint is one owner’s account, which NHTSA does not verify.

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%). That is where owners of this family have had trouble, so it is where an inspection is worth the time.

Recall coverage is not complete — our harvest of NHTSA’s recall API ran 1,556 queries, of which 0 failed and 242 returned an explicit zero. A line can still be under-reported where NHTSA files a roster under a parent name, or where a match rests on the wording of the recall rather than its model field. Complaints come from the complete bulk file but are unverified and self-selected: a high count tracks how many units a line sold at least as much as how well it was built. Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Cougar line page.
