01 What makes it unique
Heartland lists the 2024 Milestone 386BH at 12,456 lb dry, a GVWR of 15,000 lb and a pin weight of 2,233 lb. Heartland prints no cargo carrying capacity for it, so none is given here; the federal label inside the trailer carries one.
It is 43' 3" long and 13' 3" high. Heartland prints no tank capacity for it.
Among the 6 Milestone floorplans Heartland’s 2024 Milestone brochure lists with a published dry weight, it is number 3 from the lightest, in a range from 10,845 lb (Milestone 321FL) to 12,865 lb (Milestone 380DSL). Every figure in that comparison is Heartland’s, for the same model year.
Every number on this page was read on 5 Nov 2026 from Heartland’s 2024 Milestone brochure, the maker’s own dated document for model year 2024.
How the 386BH differs from the other five Milestone floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Pin weight as a share of dry weight, 17.9%: smallest of six; next is the 377MB (20.2%).
- Pin weight, 2,233 lb: second-lightest of six, between the 321FL (2,225 lb) and the 333MB (2,405 lb).
- Dry weight, 12,456 lb: third-lightest of six, between the 333MB (11,800 lb) and the 377MB (12,511 lb).
- Length, 43 ft 3 in: third-longest of six, between the 377MB (42 ft 11 in) and the 380DSL (43 ft 4 in).
- Exterior height, 13 ft 3 in: lowest of six, level with the 370FLMB and 380DSL; next are the 321FL and 333MB (13 ft 4 in).
Next to the 333MB, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 386BH is 656 lb heavier by dry weight, has a pin weight 172 lb lighter, is 5 ft 5 in longer and stands 1 in lower; the two publish the same GVWR.
Next to the 377MB, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 386BH is 55 lb lighter by dry weight, has a pin weight 295 lb lighter, is 4 in longer and stands 3 in lower; the two publish the same GVWR.

Axles, wheels and nose shape are schematic; not a floorplan. Data: dataset.
Towing it
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 (15,000 lb) and the upper loaded pin estimate (3,750 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern.
Loaded range: 15–25% of GVWR on the pin, 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 Heartland does not publish for the Milestone 386BH
Heartland prints no cargo carrying capacity, tire size, interior height, grey-tank, black-tank 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.
05 How it compares
11,800 lb dry and 15,000 lb GVWR, against this model’s 12,456 lb and 15,000 lb.
12,511 lb dry and 15,000 lb GVWR, against this model’s 12,456 lb and 15,000 lb.
07 Where this floorplan sits
