2027 Ember E-Series12FK

Ember lists the 2027 E-Series 12FK at 1,855 lb unloaded (UVW), with a GVWR of 3,500 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 1,645 lb and a hitch weight of 295 lb. Its UVW plus its cargo capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.

It is 15' 9" long and 7' 0" high with the air conditioner, with 26 gal fresh (Ember prints no grey or black tank figure for it). Fresh water weighs about 8.3 lb per US gallon, so a full fresh tank uses roughly 216 lb of the cargo capacity before anything else is loaded.

Among the 12 E-Series floorplans Ember lists for 2027 with a published weight, it is number 2 by unloaded weight, in a range from 1,740 lb (12RK) to 6,130 lb (26ETS). Every figure in that comparison is Ember’s, for the same model year.

Every number on this page was read on 5 Nov 2026 from Ember’s own floorplan page for the E-Series 12FK, whose structured data names the model year 2027.
