01 What makes it unique

Highland Ridge lists the 2020 Mesa Ridge Conventional MR19BH at 3,515 lb dry, a GVWR of 4,450 lb, a net carrying capacity of 935 lb and a tongue weight of 370 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.

It is 10' 5" high. Highland Ridge prints its tanks as 26 gal fresh, 32.5 gal grey, 32.5 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 3 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.

How the MR19BH differs from the other fourteen Mesa Ridge Conventional floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

  • GVWR, 4,450 lb: second-lowest of fifteen, between the MR182RB (4,250 lb) and the MR171RD (4,500 lb).
  • Cargo capacity, 935 lb: second-smallest of fifteen, between the MR182RB (735 lb) and the MR171RD (1,055 lb).
  • Tongue weight, 370 lb: second-lightest of fifteen, between the MR182RB (345 lb) and the MR180BHS (375 lb).
  • Dry weight, 3,515 lb: shared with the MR182RB; of fifteen, one lighter and twelve heavier, nearest the MR171RD (3,445 lb) and the MR180BHS (3,735 lb).
  • Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 21%: sixth-smallest of fifteen, between the MR20MB (20.3%) and the MR21RBS (21.4%).
  • Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 10.5%: sixth-smallest of fifteen, between the MR21RBS (10.2%) and the MR32BHS (11%).
  • Fresh tank, 26 gal: smallest of fifteen, level with the MR171RD, MR180BHS and MR182RB; next are the MR20FBS, MR20MB and nine others (48 gal).
  • Exterior height, 10 ft 5 in: shared with the MR20MB; of fifteen, three lower and ten taller, nearest the MR180BHS (10 ft 3 in) and the MR20FBS, MR21FB and MR26BH (10 ft 6 in).

Next to the MR171RD, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the MR19BH is 70 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 50 lb lower, has 120 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 25 lb lighter, stands 3 in taller, has a grey tank 12.6 gal larger and has a black tank 12.6 gal larger; the two publish the same interior height and fresh tank.

Next to the MR182RB, the floorplan with the same dry weight, the MR19BH has a GVWR 200 lb higher, has 200 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 25 lb heavier, stands 3 in taller, has a grey tank 12.6 gal larger and has a black tank 12.6 gal larger; the two publish the same dry weight, interior height and fresh tank.

Next to the MR180BHS, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the MR19BH is 220 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 450 lb lower, has 230 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 5 lb lighter, stands 2 in taller, has a grey tank 12.6 gal larger and has a black tank 12.6 gal larger; the two publish the same interior height and fresh tank.

Towing it

Published tongue weight370 lb
Loaded tongue weight, rule of thumb445–668 lb
Receiver hitch rating needed4,450 lb towed / 668 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 (4,450 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (668 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).

04 Notes on this floorplan

What Highland Ridge does not publish for the Mesa Ridge Conventional MR19BH

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.
