01 What makes it unique
Ember lists the 2027 Overland Series 201FBQ at 5,760 lb unloaded (UVW), with a GVWR of 7,250 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 1,490 lb and a hitch weight of 690 lb. Its UVW plus its cargo capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 24' 1" 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 3 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 201FBQ, whose structured data names the model year 2027.
How the 201FBQ differs from the other five Overland Series floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 12%: second-smallest of six, between the 220MSL (11.5%) and the 240TKR (12.9%).
- Dry weight, 5,760 lb: third-lightest of six, between the 191MSL (5,220 lb) and the 220MSL (5,895 lb).
- GVWR, 7,250 lb: third-lowest of six, between the 191MSL (6,105 lb) and the 220MSL and 221MSL (7,550 lb).
- Cargo capacity, 1,490 lb: third-largest of six, between the 221MSL (1,445 lb) and the 220MSL (1,655 lb).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 20.6%: third-largest of six, between the 221MSL (19.1%) and the 220MSL (21.9%).
- Tongue weight, 690 lb: third-lightest of six, between the 220MSL (675 lb) and the 191MSL (695 lb).
- Length, 24 ft 1 in: third-shortest of six, between the 190MSL and 191MSL (22 ft 6 in) and the 220MSL and 221MSL (26 ft 1 in).
Next to the 191MSL, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 201FBQ is 540 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 1,145 lb higher, has 605 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 5 lb lighter and is 1 ft 7 in longer; the two publish the same exterior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.
Next to the 220MSL, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 201FBQ is 135 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 300 lb lower, has 165 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 15 lb heavier and is 2 ft 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 (7,250 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,088 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).

04 Notes on this floorplan
What Ember does not publish for the 201FBQ
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 5,760 lb and 7,250 lb.
5,895 lb UVW and 7,550 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 5,760 lb and 7,250 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), 31% of the 201FBQ’s 1,490 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,034 lb (258 lb per rated berth). Across 6 Overland Series floorplans the water share runs 22% to 52%, and 3 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Overland Series 220MSL at 28% and Overland Series 221MSL at 32%. 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 220MSL, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 6 of the 9 fields both publish (this plan first): length 24 ft 1 in vs 26 ft 1 in; sleeps 4 vs 8; dry weight 5,760 lb vs 5,895 lb; GVWR 7,250 lb vs 7,550 lb; cargo capacity 1,490 lb vs 1,655 lb; hitch weight 690 lb vs 675 lb. They match on fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.
