It is 30' 3" long and 10' 11" high. Gulf Stream prints no tank capacity for it.
Among the 16 Envision floorplans Gulf Stream’s Envision model pages on gulfstreamcoach.com (no model year stated) lists with a published dry weight, it is number 12 from the lightest, in a range from 3,160 lb (Envision 18RBD) to 7,117 lb (Envision 290RL).

Every number on this page was read on 6 Nov 2026 from Gulf Stream’s own Envision model pages on gulfstreamcoach.com (no model year stated) for the Envision 28CRB, which names no model year; the figures are shown as the maker published them, and no year is claimed for them.

No GVWR is printed, so nothing is checked against one. Page footnote: "Specifications are approximate and subject to change. Check the label in your unit for actual weights and capacities."

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.
