Highland Ridge lists the 2020 Mesa Ridge Conventional MR27RLI at 7,195 lb dry, a GVWR of 8,995 lb, a net carrying capacity of 1,800 lb and a tongue weight of 1,035 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.

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 14 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 48-gallon fresh tank is about 398 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 22% of the Mesa Ridge Conventional MR27RLI’s 1,800 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,402 lb. Across 15 Mesa Ridge Conventional floorplans the water share runs 18% to 37%, and 10 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Mesa Ridge Conventional MR171RD at 20% and Mesa Ridge Conventional MR26BHS at 22%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
