01 What makes it unique

Grand Design publishes an unloaded vehicle weight (UVW) of 8,076 lb and a GVWR of 10,195 lb for the 2027 Imagine 3100RD, with a hitch weight of 879 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 35' 11" long, 11' 3" high and 8' wide, with 45 gal fresh, 90 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 7 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 3100RD, whose structured data names the model year 2027. Grand Design marks this floorplan as dealer stock.

How the 3100RD 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.

  • Dry weight, 8,076 lb: second-heaviest of fifteen, between the 2970RL (7,810 lb) and the 3210BH (8,725 lb).
  • Tongue weight, 879 lb: second-heaviest of fifteen, between the 2970RL (830 lb) and the 3210BH (991 lb).
  • Length, 35 ft 11 in: second-longest of fifteen, between the 2970RL (34 ft 2 in) and the 3210BH (36 ft 11 in).
  • Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 10.9%: sixth-largest of fifteen, between the 2300MK (10.8%) and the 2470BH (11.2%).
  • Exterior height, 11 ft 3 in: tallest of fifteen, level with the 2970RL and 3210BH; next are the 2300MK, 2470BH and six others (11 ft 2 in).
  • Grey tank, 90 gal: largest of fifteen, level with the 2700BS, 2970RL and 3210BH; next are the 22RBE, 2300MK and seven others (82 gal).
  • GVWR, 10,195 lb: highest of fifteen, level with the 2670MK, 2700BS and four others; next are the 25DBE and 25RLE (7,995 lb).
  • Sleeping capacity, 6: shared with the 2470BH, 2500RL and three others; of fifteen, six smaller and three larger, nearest the 2810BH (5) and the 25DBE (7).

Next to the 2970RL, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 3100RD is 266 lb heavier by dry weight, has a tongue weight 49 lb heavier and is 1 ft 9 in longer; the two publish the same GVWR, exterior height, fresh tank, grey tank, black tank, sleeping capacity and slide-out count.

Next to the 3210BH (2026 page), the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 3100RD is 649 lb lighter by dry weight, has a tongue weight 112 lb lighter, is 1 ft shorter and sleeps two fewer; the two publish the same GVWR, exterior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Towing it

Tow rating needed10,195 lb
Published tongue weight879 lb
Loaded tongue weight, rule of thumb1,020–1,529 lb
Receiver hitch rating needed10,195 lb towed / 1,529 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 (10,195 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,529 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

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.
