01 What makes it unique

Grand Design publishes an unloaded vehicle weight (UVW) of 6,218 lb and a GVWR of 7,850 lb for the 2027 Imagine 2300MK, with a hitch weight of 672 lb. It does not publish a cargo carrying capacity on the floorplan page, so none is shown here, and none is worked out by subtracting one published figure from the other. The trailer’s own federal weight label, inside the door, carries its cargo capacity as built.

It is 26' 6" long, 11' 2" high and 8' wide, with 45 gal fresh, 82 gal grey and 45 gal black tanks as Grand Design lists them. Fresh water weighs about 8.3 lb per US gallon, so a full fresh tank adds roughly 374 lb before anything else is loaded.

Among the 7 Imagine floorplans profiled from Grand Design’s 2027 pages, it is number 1 of 7 by unloaded weight, in a range from 6,218 lb to 8,076 lb. Every figure in that comparison comes from the same Grand Design page type for the same model year.

Every number on this page was read on 19 Oct 2026 from Grand Design’s own floorplan page for the Imagine 2300MK, whose structured data names the model year 2027.

How the 2300MK differs from the other fourteen Imagine floorplans. Most distinctive first. Each rank counts only the siblings that publish that field, and a figure most of them share is left out. Not every one of these pages covers the same model years as this one (2027); each figure is the one its own page prints, so a rank compares pages, not one model year.

  • Length, 26 ft 6 in: third-shortest of fifteen, between the 22RBE (25 ft 11 in) and the 2470BH (29 ft).
  • Dry weight, 6,218 lb: fourth-lightest of fifteen, between the 25RLE (6,186 lb) and the 25DBE (6,313 lb).
  • Tongue weight, 672 lb: fifth-lightest of fifteen, between the 25DBE (656 lb) and the 2800BH (729 lb).
  • Slide-out count, 1: fewest of seven, level with the 2470BH and 2600RB; next are the 2700BS, 2810BH and two others (2).
  • Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 10.8%: seventh-largest of fifteen, between the 2700BS and 2970RL (10.6%) and the 3100RD (10.9%).
  • Sleeping capacity, 4: shared with the 17MKE and 22RBE; of fifteen, two smaller and ten larger, nearest the 25RLE (3) and the 2810BH (5).
  • GVWR, 7,850 lb: shared with the 2470BH, 2500RL and 2600RB; of fifteen, two lower and nine higher, nearest the 22RBE (6,995 lb) and the 25DBE and 25RLE (7,995 lb).

Next to the 25RLE (2026 page), the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 2300MK is 32 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 145 lb lower, has a tongue weight 36 lb heavier, is 3 ft 3 in shorter, stands 4 in taller, has a fresh tank 8 gal larger, has a grey tank 37 gal larger, has a black tank 8 gal larger and sleeps one more.

Next to the 25DBE (2026 page), the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 2300MK is 95 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 145 lb lower, has a tongue weight 16 lb heavier, is 3 ft 3 in shorter, stands 4 in taller, has a fresh tank 8 gal larger, has a black tank 8 gal larger and sleeps three fewer; the two publish the same grey tank.

Towing it

Tow rating needed7,850 lb
Published tongue weight672 lb
Loaded tongue weight, rule of thumb785–1,178 lb
Receiver hitch rating needed7,850 lb towed / 1,178 lb tongue
Payload check. Budget loaded, not dry: subtract the loaded range, every passenger, the bed and cab load and a weight-distributing hitch from the payload on your tow vehicle’s door-pillar placard (49 CFR 571.110 S4.3).

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 (7,850 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,178 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).

03 The Imagine floorplan family

Grand Design lists 11 Imagine floorplans for 2027. 7 without an existing page here are profiled from Grand Design’s own floorplan pages, from 6,218 lb to 8,076 lb unloaded; the others link to their existing pages. Grand Design publishes UVW, GVWR and hitch weight for these trailers, and no cargo carrying capacity.

04 Notes on this floorplan

What Grand Design does not publish for the Imagine

No cargo carrying capacity appears on Grand Design’s floorplan pages for this series, so that row reads as not published. 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.

11 NHTSA safety record

NHTSA holds 15 recall campaigns and 65 owner complaints against the Imagine line. They are counted separately: a recall is a confirmed defect with a remedy, a complaint one owner’s unverified account.

What to look at on a used one. Across the 65 complaints filed on this line the most-reported components are tires (20%), suspension (18%) and structure (17%).

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 Imagine line page.
