01 What makes it unique
Ember lists the 2027 Touring Edition 2850DBL at 7,395 lb unloaded (UVW), with a GVWR of 9,495 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 2,100 lb and a hitch weight of 860 lb. Its UVW plus its cargo capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 32' 11" long and 11' 4" 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 7 Touring Edition floorplans Ember lists for 2027 with a published weight, it is number 6 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 2850DBL, whose structured data names the model year 2027.
How the 2850DBL differs from the other six Touring Edition floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Cargo capacity, 2,100 lb: largest of seven; next is the 2800ETL (2,015 lb).
- Tongue weight, 860 lb: heaviest of seven; next is the 2800ETL (850 lb).
- Dry weight, 7,395 lb: second-heaviest of seven, between the 2400RKL (6,510 lb) and the 2800ETL (7,480 lb).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 22.1%: third-smallest of seven, between the 2800ETL (21.2%) and the 2200ETL (23.3%).
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 11.6%: fourth-smallest of seven, between the 2100RKL (11.5%) and the 2300MLL (11.8%).
- GVWR, 9,495 lb: highest of seven, level with the 2800ETL; next is the 2400RKL (8,495 lb).
- Length, 32 ft 11 in: longest of seven, level with the 2800ETL; next is the 2500RDL (30 ft 5 in).

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 (9,495 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,424 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 2850DBL
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
6,510 lb UVW and 8,495 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 7,395 lb and 9,495 lb.
7,480 lb UVW and 9,495 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 7,395 lb and 9,495 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), 22% of the 2850DBL’s 2,100 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,644 lb (205 lb per rated berth). Across 7 Touring Edition floorplans the water share runs 22% to 26%, and this plan’s is the lowest. Nearest on that share: Touring Edition 2800ETL at 23%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
