2020 Highland RidgeMesa Ridge Conventional MR23RLS

Highland Ridge lists the 2020 Mesa Ridge Conventional MR23RLS at 5,420 lb dry, a GVWR of 6,500 lb, a net carrying capacity of 1,080 lb and a tongue weight of 690 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.

It is 11' 0" high. Highland Ridge prints its tanks as 48 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 9 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.

• Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 16.6%: smallest of fifteen; next is the MR182RB (17.3%).
• Cargo capacity, 1,080 lb: fifth-smallest of fifteen, between the MR20MB (1,065 lb) and the MR180BHS (1,165 lb).
• Tongue weight, 690 lb: fifth-heaviest of fifteen, between the MR282BH (610 lb) and the MR26BHS (720 lb).
• Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 12.7%: shared with the MR21FB; of fifteen, twelve smaller and one larger, nearest the MR26BHS (12.6%) and the MR27RLI (14.4%).
• Dry weight, 5,420 lb: seventh-heaviest of fifteen, between the MR26BH (4,735 lb) and the MR21RBS (5,660 lb).
• Exterior height, 11 ft: shared with the MR32BHS; of fifteen, nine lower and four taller, nearest the MR21RBS (10 ft 9 in) and the MR26BHS (11 ft 1 in).
• GVWR, 6,500 lb: shared with the MR26BH; of fifteen, seven lower and six higher, nearest the MR20FBS and MR21FB (6,000 lb) and the MR21RBS (7,200 lb).

Next to the MR26BH, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the MR23RLS is 685 lb heavier by dry weight, has 685 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 105 lb heavier and stands 6 in taller; the two publish the same GVWR, interior height, fresh tank, grey 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), 37% of the Mesa Ridge Conventional MR23RLS’s 1,080 lb cargo capacity, leaving 682 lb. Across 15 Mesa Ridge Conventional floorplans the water share runs 18% to 37%, and 1 gives up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Mesa Ridge Conventional MR182RB at 29% and Mesa Ridge Conventional MR20MB at 37%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
