2020 Highland RidgeMesa Ridge Conventional MR180BHS

Highland Ridge lists the 2020 Mesa Ridge Conventional MR180BHS at 3,735 lb dry, a GVWR of 4,900 lb, a net carrying capacity of 1,165 lb and a tongue weight of 375 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.

It is 10' 3" high. Highland Ridge prints its tanks as 26 gal fresh, 19.9 gal grey, 19.9 gal black.

Among the 15 Mesa Ridge Conventional floorplans Highland Ridge’s Mesa Ridge Conventional brochure (filed under 2020 on its own site; the brochure prints no year) lists with a published dry weight, it is number 4 from the lightest, in a range from 3,445 lb (Mesa Ridge Conventional MR171RD) to 7,600 lb (Mesa Ridge Conventional MR32BHS). Every figure in that comparison is Highland Ridge’s, for the same model year.

Every number on this page was read on 5 Nov 2026 from Highland Ridge’s Mesa Ridge Conventional brochure (filed under 2020 on its own site; the brochure prints no year); model year 2020 comes from where the maker files it on its own site, not from the document’s text.

Highland Ridge’s Mesa Ridge Conventional brochure (filed under 2020 on its own site; the brochure prints no year) lists 15 Mesa Ridge Conventional floorplans; every one with a printed weight has a page here.

A full 26-gallon fresh tank is about 216 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 19% of the Mesa Ridge Conventional MR180BHS’s 1,165 lb cargo capacity, leaving 949 lb. Across 15 Mesa Ridge Conventional floorplans the water share runs 18% to 37%, and 13 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Mesa Ridge Conventional MR27BHS at 18% and Mesa Ridge Conventional MR282BH at 19%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
