01 What makes it unique

Highland Ridge lists the 2021 Mesa Ridge Limited MR275RLS at 7,210 lb dry, a GVWR of 8,995 lb, a net carrying capacity of 1,785 lb and a tongue weight of 920 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.

It is 33' 11" long and 11' 3" high. Highland Ridge prints its tanks as 51 gal fresh, 58 gal grey, 29 gal black.

Among the 5 Mesa Ridge Limited floorplans Highland Ridge’s 2021 Mesa Ridge Limited flyer lists with a published dry weight, it is number 2 from the lightest, in a range from 6,180 lb (Mesa Ridge Limited MR260RLS) to 7,965 lb (Mesa Ridge Limited MR312BHS). 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 2021 Mesa Ridge Limited flyer, the maker’s own dated document for model year 2021.

How the MR275RLS differs from the other four Mesa Ridge Limited floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

  • Cargo capacity, 1,785 lb: largest of five; next is the MR312BHS (1,770 lb).
  • Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 19.8%: largest of five; next is the MR260RLS (18.7%).
  • Dry weight, 7,210 lb: second-lightest of five, between the MR260RLS (6,180 lb) and the MR313RLS (7,810 lb).
  • GVWR, 8,995 lb: second-lowest of five, between the MR260RLS (7,600 lb) and the MR313RLS (9,250 lb).
  • Tongue weight, 920 lb: second-heaviest of five, between the MR331BHS (900 lb) and the MR312BHS (1,025 lb).
  • Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 12.8%: second-largest of five, between the MR260RLS (11.6%) and the MR312BHS (12.9%).
  • Length, 33 ft 11 in: second-shortest of five, between the MR260RLS (31 ft 5 in) and the MR313RLS (36 ft 11 in).

Next to the MR260RLS, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the MR275RLS is 1,030 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 1,395 lb higher, has 365 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 205 lb heavier, is 2 ft 6 in longer, stands 1 in taller and has a grey tank 1 gal larger; the two publish the same interior height, fresh tank and black tank.

Towing it

Tow rating needed8,995 lb
Published tongue weight920 lb
Loaded tongue weight, rule of thumb920–1,349 lb
Receiver hitch rating needed8,995 lb towed / 1,349 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 (8,995 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,349 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). The range starts at the published figure, because loaded is never lighter than that.

04 Notes on this floorplan

What Highland Ridge does not publish for the Mesa Ridge Limited MR275RLS

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.
