2026 East to West Longitude255BH

The Longitude 255BH leaves East to West's factory at 6,068 lbs dry, with a published GVWR of 7,650 lbs and 1,582 lbs of cargo capacity between the two. Cargo capacity is 21% of the loaded rating, and East to West's own definition is worth reading before you plan against it: cargo capacity is what remains for fresh water, gear, food, batteries and every dealer-installed accessory. Fresh water alone is 8.3 lb per gallon, so filling this trailer's 53-gallon fresh tank spends 440 lbs of that 1,582 lbs before anything else is loaded.

Tongue weight is 650 lbs, 11% of the dry weight as published; it rises as the trailer is loaded and counts against the tow vehicle’s tongue-weight and payload limits (tongue weight by size).

Off hookups: 90 gallons of grey and black capacity against 53 gallons of fresh water, so fresh water runs out first (tank sizes by length).

Against the rest of the Longitude roster this is the 2nd of 8 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 5,293 lbs to 8,033 lbs. It sits in the lighter third of the line.

Plan the tow on loaded weight, not the 6,068 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 6,859 lbs, and the published GVWR of 7,650 lbs is the limit (how to read trailer weights).

East to West’s line listing and this floorplan’s own factory page agree on all 4 shared figures. Dry weight plus cargo capacity equals the published GVWR exactly. A missing row means East to West does not publish that figure (how figures are verified).

East to West publishes no floorplan description for this plan in the channel this page is built from - only the numeric specification block. Rather than describe a layout from the floorplan code, which would be a guess dressed as a fact, this page carries what the factory publishes and says where it stops. 255BH is a Longitude designation and this site does not decode it into a layout claim.

How the 255BH differs from the other seven Longitude floorplans. Most distinctive first. Sibling pages may cover other model years than this one (2026). How these ranks are worked out.

• GVWR, 7,650 lb: lowest of eight; next is the 250RD (7,705 lb).
• Tongue weight, 650 lb: lightest of eight; next is the 250RD (705 lb).
• Dry weight, 6,068 lb: second-lightest of eight, between the 185RB (5,293 lb) and the 250RD (6,103 lb).
• Cargo capacity, 1,582 lb: second-smallest of eight, between the 315FB (1,367 lb) and the 250RD (1,602 lb).
• Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 20.7%: second-smallest of eight, between the 315FB (14.5%) and the 250RD (20.8%).
• Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 10.7%: second-smallest of eight, between the 315FB (10.5%) and the 310RL (11.4%).
• Length, 30 ft 6 in: fourth-shortest of eight, between the 250RD (30 ft) and the 285BH (33 ft 9 in).

Next to the 185RB, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 255BH is 775 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 90 lb lower, has 865 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 90 lb lighter and is 6 ft 5 in longer; the two publish the same exterior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Next to the 250RD (2027 page), the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 255BH is 35 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 55 lb lower, has 20 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 55 lb lighter, is 6 in longer and has a fresh tank 7 gal larger; the two publish the same exterior height, grey tank and black tank.

Longitude is the only East to West line on this site that publishes a GVWR, and it is worth saying plainly what that buys you: on all seven plans where East to West publishes one, dry weight plus cargo capacity equals the published GVWR exactly. That arithmetic tying out is the difference between a loaded rating you can plan a tow around and a number somebody added up. GVWR runs 7,650 to 11,335 lb across the seven, against dry weights of 5,293 to 8,033 lb and cargo capacity of 1,367 to 3,572 lb. Tongue weight runs 650 to 935 lb, all bumper pull. Three more floorplans are published on the roster with no weights at all yet, and they are listed as announced rather than given specifications they do not have.

A full 53-gallon fresh tank is about 440 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 28% of the 255BH’s 1,582 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,142 lb. Across 8 Longitude floorplans the water share runs 12% to 28%, and this plan’s is the highest. Nearest on that share: Longitude 250RD at 24%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
