01 What makes it unique

Highland Ridge lists the 2020 Mesa Ridge Conventional MR32BHS at 7,600 lb dry, a GVWR of 9,250 lb, a net carrying capacity of 1,650 lb and a tongue weight of 835 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 15 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 MR32BHS differs from the other fourteen Mesa Ridge Conventional floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

  • Dry weight, 7,600 lb: heaviest of fifteen; next is the MR27RLI (7,195 lb).
  • GVWR, 9,250 lb: highest of fifteen; next is the MR27RLI (8,995 lb).
  • Tongue weight, 835 lb: second-heaviest of fifteen, between the MR27BHS (775 lb) and the MR27RLI (1,035 lb).
  • Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 17.8%: third-smallest of fifteen, between the MR182RB (17.3%) and the MR27RLI (20%).
  • Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 11%: seventh-smallest of fifteen, between the MR19BH (10.5%) and the MR171RD (11.5%).
  • Cargo capacity, 1,650 lb: eighth-smallest of fifteen, between the MR21RBS (1,540 lb) and the MR20FBS (1,720 lb).
  • Exterior height, 11 ft: shared with the MR23RLS; of fifteen, nine lower and four taller, nearest the MR21RBS (10 ft 9 in) and the MR26BHS (11 ft 1 in).

Next to the MR27RLI, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the MR32BHS is 405 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 255 lb higher, has 150 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 200 lb lighter, stands 2 in lower and has a grey tank 7.5 gal smaller; the two publish the same interior height, fresh tank and black tank.

Towing it

Tow rating needed9,250 lb
Published tongue weight835 lb
Loaded tongue weight, rule of thumb925–1,388 lb
Receiver hitch rating needed9,250 lb towed / 1,388 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 (9,250 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,388 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 MR32BHS

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.
