01 What makes it unique
Ember lists the 2027 Overland Series 240TKR at 6,955 lb unloaded (UVW), with a GVWR of 9,995 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 3,040 lb and a hitch weight of 895 lb. Its UVW plus its cargo capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 28' 3" long and 10' 11" high with the air conditioner, with 81 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 672 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 6 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 240TKR, whose structured data names the model year 2027.
How the 240TKR differs from the other five Overland Series floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Dry weight, 6,955 lb: heaviest of six; next is the 221MSL (6,105 lb).
- GVWR, 9,995 lb: highest of six; next are the 220MSL and 221MSL (7,550 lb).
- Cargo capacity, 3,040 lb: largest of six; next is the 220MSL (1,655 lb).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 30.4%: largest of six; next is the 220MSL (21.9%).
- Tongue weight, 895 lb: heaviest of six; next is the 221MSL (800 lb).
- Length, 28 ft 3 in: longest of six; next are the 220MSL and 221MSL (26 ft 1 in).
- Exterior height, 10 ft 11 in: tallest of six; next are the 190MSL, 191MSL and three others (10 ft 9 in).
- Fresh tank, 81 gal: largest of six; next are the 190MSL, 191MSL and three others (55 gal).
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 12.9%: third-smallest of six, between the 201FBQ (12%) and the 190MSL (13%).
Next to the 221MSL, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 240TKR is 850 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 2,445 lb higher, has 1,595 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 95 lb heavier, is 2 ft 2 in longer, stands 2 in taller and has a fresh tank 26 gal larger; the two publish the same 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 (9,995 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,499 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 240TKR
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
6,105 lb UVW and 7,550 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 6,955 lb and 9,995 lb.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 81-gallon fresh tank is about 672 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 22% of the 240TKR’s 3,040 lb cargo capacity, leaving 2,368 lb (395 lb per rated berth). Across 6 Overland Series floorplans the water share runs 22% to 52%, and this plan’s is the lowest. Nearest on that share: Overland Series 220MSL 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 Overland Series 221MSL, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 7 of the 9 fields both publish (this plan first): length 28 ft 3 in vs 26 ft 1 in; sleeps 6 vs 8; dry weight 6,955 lb vs 6,105 lb; GVWR 9,995 lb vs 7,550 lb; cargo capacity 3,040 lb vs 1,445 lb; hitch weight 895 lb vs 800 lb; fresh tank 81 gal vs 55 gal. They match on grey tank and black tank.
