01 What makes it unique
Ember lists the 2027 E-Series 19ETS at 4,495 lb unloaded (UVW), with a GVWR of 5,995 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 1,500 lb and a hitch weight of 615 lb. Its UVW plus its cargo capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 23' 4" long and 11' 3" high with the air conditioner, with 55 gal fresh, 35 gal grey, 35 gal black. Fresh water weighs about 8.3 lb per US gallon, so a full fresh tank uses roughly 457 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 5 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 19ETS, whose structured data names the model year 2027.
How the 19ETS differs from the other eleven E-Series floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Cargo capacity, 1,500 lb: third-smallest of twelve, between the 26ETS (1,465 lb) and the 18RBE (1,515 lb).
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 13.7%: third-largest of twelve, between the 18RBE (12.9%) and the 12RK (14.7%).
- Dry weight, 4,495 lb: fifth-lightest of twelve, between the 18RBE (4,175 lb) and the 21RKE (4,975 lb).
- GVWR, 5,995 lb: fifth-lowest of twelve, between the 18RBE (5,690 lb) and the 21RKE (6,695 lb).
- Length, 23 ft 4 in: fifth-shortest of twelve, between the 18RBE (21 ft 10 in) and the 21RKE (25 ft 3 in).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 25%: sixth-smallest of twelve, between the 22MLQ (24.2%) and the 21FBE (25.4%).
- Exterior height, 11 ft 3 in: tallest of twelve, level with the 18FBE and 18RBE; next are the 21FBE, 21RKE and five others (11 ft 2 in).
- Tongue weight, 615 lb: shared with the 22ETS; of twelve, seven lighter and three heavier, nearest the 22MLQ (590 lb) and the 24RLD (660 lb).
Next to the 18RBE, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 19ETS is 320 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 305 lb higher, has 15 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 75 lb heavier and is 1 ft 6 in longer; the two publish the same exterior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.
Next to the 21RKE, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 19ETS is 480 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 700 lb lower, has 220 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 80 lb heavier, is 1 ft 11 in shorter and stands 1 in taller; the two publish the same fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

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 (5,995 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (899 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern.
Loaded range: 10–15% of GVWR on the tongue, 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.

Ember lists 12 E-Series floorplans. Every 2027 plan with a published weight has a page here; the rest are catalogued with the reason against each.
04 Notes on this floorplan
What Ember does not publish for the 19ETS
Ember’s page prints no axle count and no interior height against this floorplan, so none is given. 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). Those figures come from the trailer itself and govern the towing decision.
05 How it compares
4,175 lb UVW and 5,690 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 4,495 lb and 5,995 lb.
4,975 lb UVW and 6,695 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 4,495 lb and 5,995 lb.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 55-gallon fresh tank is about 457 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 30% of the 19ETS’s 1,500 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,044 lb (130 lb per rated berth). Across 12 E-Series floorplans the water share runs 13% to 31%, and 2 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: E-Series 18RBE at 30% and E-Series 26ETS at 31%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
07 Where this floorplan sits
Closest sibling: the E-Series 22ETS, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 4 of the 9 fields both publish (this plan first): length 23 ft 4 in vs 27 ft 1 in; dry weight 4,495 lb vs 5,375 lb; GVWR 5,995 lb vs 6,995 lb; cargo capacity 1,500 lb vs 1,620 lb. They match on sleeps, hitch weight, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

09 What this page publishes, and what it does not
12 of the 18 fields this catalogue tracks are published for the 19ETS. Not published: interior height, slide count, axle count, refrigerator, air conditioning, tire size (a description is published, a size is not).
Sourcing rules: methodology.
10 Manuals & documents

11 NHTSA safety record
NHTSA holds 4 recall campaigns and 1 owner complaint (model years 2005 on) against the E-Series line (a recall and a complaint are not the same thing).
Too few reports to show a pattern. 1 complaint has been filed on this line — not enough to say what fails most often. It covers unknown or other.
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 E-Series line page.
