2020 Highland RidgeMesa Ridge Conventional MR282BH

Highland Ridge lists the 2020 Mesa Ridge Conventional MR282BH at 6,410 lb dry, a GVWR of 8,500 lb, a net carrying capacity of 2,090 lb and a tongue weight of 610 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.

It is 11' 3" 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 13 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.

• Grey tank, 65 gal: largest of fifteen, level with the MR21RBS; next is the MR27RLI (40 gal).

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), 19% of the Mesa Ridge Conventional MR282BH’s 2,090 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,692 lb. Across 15 Mesa Ridge Conventional floorplans the water share runs 18% to 37%, and 12 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Mesa Ridge Conventional MR180BHS at 19% and Mesa Ridge Conventional MR171RD at 20%. 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 MR282BH from 2020. The maker’s own documents for earlier model years also list the MR282BH, 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.
