01 What makes it unique
Ember lists the 2027 Overland Series 190MSL at 4,945 lb unloaded (UVW), with a GVWR of 5,930 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 985 lb and a hitch weight of 645 lb. Its UVW plus its cargo capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 22' 6" long and 10' 9" 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 6 Overland Series floorplans Ember lists for 2027 with a published weight, it is number 1 by unloaded weight, in a range from 4,945 lb (190MSL) to 6,955 lb (240TKR). 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 Overland Series 190MSL, whose structured data names the model year 2027.
How the 190MSL differs from the other five Overland Series floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Dry weight, 4,945 lb: lightest of six; next is the 191MSL (5,220 lb).
- GVWR, 5,930 lb: lowest of six; next is the 191MSL (6,105 lb).
- Tongue weight, 645 lb: lightest of six; next is the 220MSL (675 lb).
- Cargo capacity, 985 lb: second-smallest of six, between the 191MSL (885 lb) and the 221MSL (1,445 lb).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 16.6%: second-smallest of six, between the 191MSL (14.5%) and the 221MSL (19.1%).
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 13%: third-largest of six, between the 240TKR (12.9%) and the 221MSL (13.1%).
- Length, 22 ft 6 in: shortest of six, level with the 191MSL; next is the 201FBQ (24 ft 1 in).
Next to the 191MSL, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 190MSL is 275 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 175 lb lower, has 100 lb more cargo capacity and has a tongue weight 50 lb lighter; the two publish the same length, 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 (5,930 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (890 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.

04 Notes on this floorplan
What Ember does not publish for the 190MSL
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
5,220 lb UVW and 6,105 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 4,945 lb and 5,930 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), 46% of the 190MSL’s 985 lb cargo capacity, leaving 528 lb (66 lb per rated berth). Across 6 Overland Series floorplans the water share runs 22% to 52%, and 1 gives up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Overland Series 221MSL at 32% and Overland Series 191MSL at 52%. 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 Overland Series 191MSL, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 5 of the 9 fields both publish (this plan first): sleeps 8 vs 6; dry weight 4,945 lb vs 5,220 lb; GVWR 5,930 lb vs 6,105 lb; cargo capacity 985 lb vs 885 lb; hitch weight 645 lb vs 695 lb. They match on length, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.
