01 What makes it unique
Ember lists the 2027 Touring Edition 2200ETL at 6,135 lb unloaded (UVW), with a GVWR of 7,995 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 1,860 lb and a hitch weight of 690 lb. Its UVW plus its cargo capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 27' 5" long and 11' 4" 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 7 Touring Edition floorplans Ember lists for 2027 with a published weight, it is number 2 by unloaded weight, in a range from 5,915 lb (2100RKL) to 7,480 lb (2800ETL). 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 Touring Edition 2200ETL, whose structured data names the model year 2027.
How the 2200ETL differs from the other six Touring Edition floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 11.2%: smallest of seven; next is the 2800ETL (11.4%).
- Dry weight, 6,135 lb: second-lightest of seven, between the 2100RKL (5,915 lb) and the 2500RDL (6,420 lb).
- GVWR, 7,995 lb: second-lowest of seven, between the 2100RKL (7,795 lb) and the 2300MLL (8,195 lb).
- Cargo capacity, 1,860 lb: second-smallest of seven, between the 2300MLL (1,730 lb) and the 2100RKL (1,880 lb).
- Tongue weight, 690 lb: second-lightest of seven, between the 2100RKL (680 lb) and the 2300MLL (760 lb).
- Length, 27 ft 5 in: second-shortest of seven, between the 2100RKL (25 ft 7 in) and the 2400RKL (28 ft 11 in).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 23.3%: fourth-smallest of seven, between the 2850DBL (22.1%) and the 2400RKL (23.4%).
- Grey tank, 35 gal: smallest of seven, level with the 2100RKL; next are the 2300MLL, 2400RKL and three others (70 gal).
Next to the 2100RKL, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 2200ETL is 220 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 200 lb higher, has 20 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 10 lb heavier and is 1 ft 10 in longer; the two publish the same exterior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.
Next to the 2500RDL, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 2200ETL is 285 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 400 lb lower, has 115 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 150 lb lighter, is 3 ft shorter and has a grey tank 35 gal smaller; the two publish the same exterior height, fresh 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 (7,995 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,199 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 2200ETL
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
5,915 lb UVW and 7,795 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 6,135 lb and 7,995 lb.
6,420 lb UVW and 8,395 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 6,135 lb and 7,995 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), 25% of the 2200ETL’s 1,860 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,404 lb (175 lb per rated berth). Across 7 Touring Edition floorplans the water share runs 22% to 26%, and 1 gives up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Touring Edition 2100RKL at 24% and Touring Edition 2300MLL at 26%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
