01 What makes it unique
Heartland lists the 2023 ElkRidge 37RED at 11,848 lb dry, a GVWR of 15,500 lb and a pin weight of 2,626 lb. Heartland prints no cargo carrying capacity for it, so none is given here; the federal label inside the trailer carries one.
It is 41' 7 3/8" long and 13' 4" high. Heartland prints no tank capacity for it.
Among the 8 ElkRidge floorplans Heartland’s 2023 ElkRidge brochure lists with a published dry weight, it is number 3 from the lightest, in a range from 10,607 lb (ElkRidge 32RK) to 13,435 lb (ElkRidge 37DRB). Every figure in that comparison is Heartland’s, for the same model year.
Every number on this page was read on 5 Nov 2026 from Heartland’s 2023 ElkRidge brochure, the maker’s own dated document for model year 2023.
How the 37RED differs from the other seven ElkRidge floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- GVWR, 15,500 lb: second-lowest of eight, between the 32RK (15,000 lb) and the 32RLS, 38FLIK and 38MB (16,000 lb).
- Pin weight as a share of dry weight, 22.2%: second-largest of eight, between the 32RK (21.9%) and the 38FLIK (22.3%).
- Dry weight, 11,848 lb: third-lightest of eight, between the 32RLS (10,788 lb) and the 37BBH (12,287 lb).
- Pin weight, 2,626 lb: third-heaviest of eight, between the 37DRB (2,570 lb) and the 37FBH (2,660 lb).
- Length, 41 ft 7 in: third-shortest of eight, between the 32RK (36 ft 6 in) and the 38FLIK (42 ft 1 in).
Next to the 32RLS, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 37RED is 1,060 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 500 lb lower, has a pin weight 594 lb heavier, is 5 ft 5 in longer and stands 1 in taller.
Next to the 37BBH, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 37RED is 439 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 1,031 lb lower, has a pin weight 95 lb heavier and is 10 in shorter; the two publish the same exterior height.

Towing it
Check your vehicle. Enter the ratings from your owner’s manual and the door-pillar placard.
Compares your figures with this page’s published GVWR (15,500 lb) and the upper loaded pin estimate (3,875 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern.
Loaded range: 15–25% of GVWR on the pin, a rule of thumb, not a measurement of this unit. No truck ratings or hitch classes (why; NHTSA, DOT HS 809 433). The range starts at the published figure, because loaded is never lighter than that.

04 Notes on this floorplan
What Heartland does not publish for the ElkRidge 37RED
Heartland prints no cargo carrying capacity, tire size, interior height, grey-tank, black-tank for this model, so none is given. 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
10,788 lb dry and 16,000 lb GVWR, against this model’s 11,848 lb and 15,500 lb.
12,287 lb dry and 16,531 lb GVWR, against this model’s 11,848 lb and 15,500 lb.
