2020 Highland RidgeMesa Ridge Conventional MR21RBS

Highland Ridge lists the 2020 Mesa Ridge Conventional MR21RBS at 5,660 lb dry, a GVWR of 7,200 lb, a net carrying capacity of 1,540 lb and a tongue weight of 575 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.

It is 10' 9" high. Highland Ridge prints its tanks as 48 gal fresh, 65 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 10 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 MR21RBS differs from the other fourteen Mesa Ridge Conventional floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

• Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 10.2%: fifth-smallest of fifteen, between the MR180BHS (10%) and the MR19BH (10.5%).
• Grey tank, 65 gal: largest of fifteen, level with the MR282BH; next is the MR27RLI (40 gal).
• Dry weight, 5,660 lb: sixth-heaviest of fifteen, between the MR23RLS (5,420 lb) and the MR26BHS (5,725 lb).
• GVWR, 7,200 lb: sixth-highest of fifteen, between the MR23RLS and MR26BH (6,500 lb) and the MR26BHS (7,500 lb).
• Cargo capacity, 1,540 lb: seventh-smallest of fifteen, between the MR180BHS (1,165 lb) and the MR32BHS (1,650 lb).
• Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 21.4%: seventh-smallest of fifteen, between the MR19BH (21%) and the MR171RD (23.4%).
• Exterior height, 10 ft 9 in: seventh-tallest of fifteen, between the MR20FBS, MR21FB and MR26BH (10 ft 6 in) and the MR23RLS and MR32BHS (11 ft).
• Tongue weight, 575 lb: eighth-lightest of fifteen, between the MR21FB (545 lb) and the MR26BH (585 lb).

Next to the MR23RLS, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the MR21RBS is 240 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 700 lb higher, has 460 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 115 lb lighter, stands 3 in lower and has a grey tank 32.5 gal larger; the two publish the same interior height, fresh tank and black tank.

Next to the MR26BHS, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the MR21RBS is 65 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 300 lb lower, has 235 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 145 lb lighter, stands 4 in lower and has a grey tank 32.5 gal larger; the two publish the same interior height, fresh tank and black tank.

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 48-gallon fresh tank is about 398 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 26% of the Mesa Ridge Conventional MR21RBS’s 1,540 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,142 lb. Across 15 Mesa Ridge Conventional floorplans the water share runs 18% to 37%, and 3 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Mesa Ridge Conventional MR32BHS at 24% and Mesa Ridge Conventional MR182RB at 29%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).

The maker’s own owner’s manual for each model year on this page, linked where the maker publishes it. Each link goes to the maker’s file, labelled as the maker labels it; a year with no manual of its own is not filled from another year.

The record at the top of this page is the MR21RBS from 2020. The maker’s own documents for earlier model years also list the MR21RBS, and that year is printed here: 2019. The figures change from year to year, so check the year on the trailer’s own label. A field a year’s brochure does not print reads “Not published” and is never filled from another year.
