01 What makes it unique
Highland Ridge lists the 2024 Range Lite Air 19MBH at 4,480 lb dry, a GVWR of 5,500 lb, a net carrying capacity of 1,020 lb and a tongue weight of 650 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 23' 6" long and 10' 5" high. Highland Ridge prints its tanks as 61 gal fresh, 30 gal grey, 30 gal black.
Among the 4 Range Lite Air floorplans Highland Ridge’s 2024 Range Lite Air brochure lists with a published dry weight, it is number 4 from the lightest, in a range from 3,915 lb (Range Lite Air 16FBS) to 4,480 lb (Range Lite Air 19MBH). Every figure in that comparison is Highland Ridge’s, for the same model year.
Every number on this page was read on 6 Nov 2026 from Highland Ridge’s 2024 Range Lite Air brochure, the maker’s own dated document for model year 2024.

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 (5,500 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (825 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). The range starts at the published figure, because loaded is never lighter than that.

04 Notes on this floorplan
What Highland Ridge does not publish for the Range Lite Air 19MBH
Highland Ridge prints no sleeping capacity for this model, so none is given. Nothing is filled from a sibling model, 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
4,250 lb dry and 5,300 lb GVWR, against this model’s 4,480 lb and 5,500 lb.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 61-gallon fresh tank is about 506 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 50% of the Range Lite Air 19MBH’s 1,020 lb cargo capacity, leaving 514 lb. Across 4 Range Lite Air floorplans the water share runs 47% to 55%, and 1 gives up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Range Lite Air 17MDS at 48% and Range Lite Air 18RBS at 55%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).

Too few reports to show a pattern. 1 complaint has been filed on this line — not enough to say what fails most often. It covers unknown or other.
Recall coverage here is not complete, and complaints are owners’ unverified reports (how this record is built). Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Range Lite Air line page.
