01 What makes it unique
Ember lists the 2027 E-Series 24RLD at 5,725 lb unloaded (UVW), with a GVWR of 7,395 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 1,670 lb and a hitch weight of 660 lb. Its UVW plus its cargo capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 28' 7" long and 11' 2" high with the air conditioner, with 55 gal fresh, 70 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 10 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 24RLD, whose structured data names the model year 2027.
How the 24RLD differs from the other eleven E-Series floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 22.6%: second-smallest of twelve, between the 26ETS (19.3%) and the 22ETS (23.2%).
- Dry weight, 5,725 lb: third-heaviest of twelve, between the 22ETS (5,375 lb) and the 25RUD (5,780 lb).
- GVWR, 7,395 lb: third-highest of twelve, between the 22ETS and 22MLQ (6,995 lb) and the 25RUD and 26ETS (7,595 lb).
- Tongue weight, 660 lb: third-heaviest of twelve, between the 19ETS and 22ETS (615 lb) and the 26ETS (665 lb).
- Length, 28 ft 7 in: third-longest of twelve, between the 22ETS and 22MLQ (27 ft 1 in) and the 25RUD (30 ft 1 in).
- Cargo capacity, 1,670 lb: sixth-largest of twelve, between the 12FK (1,645 lb) and the 22MLQ (1,695 lb).
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 11.5%: sixth-largest of twelve, between the 18FBE, 21FBE and 22ETS (11.4%) and the 25RUD (12.2%).
- Grey tank, 70 gal: largest of ten, level with the 25RUD and 26ETS; next are the 18FBE, 18RBE and five others (35 gal).
Next to the 22ETS, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 24RLD is 350 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 400 lb higher, has 50 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 45 lb heavier, is 1 ft 6 in longer and has a grey tank 35 gal larger; the two publish the same exterior height, fresh tank and black tank.
Next to the 25RUD, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 24RLD is 55 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 200 lb lower, has 145 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 45 lb lighter and is 1 ft 6 in shorter; the two publish the same exterior height, 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 (7,395 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,109 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).

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 24RLD
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
5,375 lb UVW and 6,995 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 5,725 lb and 7,395 lb.
5,780 lb UVW and 7,595 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 5,725 lb and 7,395 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), 27% of the 24RLD’s 1,670 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,214 lb (303 lb per rated berth). Across 12 E-Series floorplans the water share runs 13% to 31%, and 5 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: E-Series 22MLQ at 27% and E-Series 22ETS at 28%. 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 25RUD, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 5 of the 9 fields both publish (this plan first): length 28 ft 7 in vs 30 ft 1 in; dry weight 5,725 lb vs 5,780 lb; GVWR 7,395 lb vs 7,595 lb; cargo capacity 1,670 lb vs 1,815 lb; hitch weight 660 lb vs 705 lb. They match on sleeps, 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 24RLD. Not published: interior height, slide count, axle count, refrigerator, air conditioning, tire size (a description is published, a size is not).

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.
