01 What makes it unique
Northwood lists the Nash 25DS at 6,845 lb dry, a GVWR of 9,200 lb, a net carrying capacity of 2,355 lb and a tongue weight of 755 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 29’2″ long and 11’6″ incl. AC high. Northwood prints its tanks as 80 gal fresh, 40 gal grey, 35 gal black.
Among the 9 Nash floorplans Northwood’s Nash model pages on northwoodmfg.com (no model year stated) lists with a published dry weight, it is number 8 from the lightest, in a range from 4,766 lb (Nash 17K) to 6,950 lb (Nash 25KT). Every figure in that comparison is Northwood’s, read from the same set of model pages.
Every number on this page was read on 6 Nov 2026 from Northwood’s own Nash model pages on northwoodmfg.com (no model year stated) for the Nash 25DS, which names no model year; the figures are shown as the maker published them, and no year is claimed for them.
How the 25DS differs from the other eight Nash floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Length, 29 ft 2 in: longest of nine; next is the 24B (28 ft 8 in).
- Dry weight, 6,845 lb: second-heaviest of nine, between the 23CK (6,691 lb) and the 25KT (6,950 lb).
- Grey tank, 40 gal: second-smallest of eight, between the 17K (35 gal) and the 23D, 24B and 24SD (42 gal).
- Sleeping capacity, 6: second-largest of nine, between the 17K, 18FM and five others (4) and the 24B (8).
- Tongue weight, 755 lb: third-heaviest of nine, between the 25KT (660 lb) and the 24B (758 lb).
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 11%: fourth-largest of nine, between the 23D (10.6%) and the 24B (11.7%).
- Cargo capacity, 2,355 lb: fifth-smallest of nine, between the 25KT (2,250 lb) and the 23CK (2,509 lb).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 25.6%: fifth-smallest of nine, between the 25KT (24.5%) and the 23CK (27.3%).
- Fresh tank, 80 gal: smallest of nine, level with the 17K, 24SD and 25KT; next are the 18FM, 19BS and three others (82 gal).
Next to the 23CK, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 25DS is 154 lb heavier by dry weight, has 154 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 71 lb lighter, is 1 ft 6 in longer, has a fresh tank 2 gal smaller, has a grey tank 7 gal smaller, has a black tank 1 gal smaller and sleeps two more; the two publish the same GVWR and exterior height.
Next to the 25KT, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 25DS is 105 lb lighter by dry weight, has 105 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 95 lb heavier, is 9 in longer and sleeps two more; the two publish the same GVWR, exterior height, fresh tank and black tank.

How these published figures sit against the rest of the catalogue: travel trailer tongue weight by size; fresh, grey and black tank sizes; camper trailer size chart.
Federal tire recalls naming this size. NHTSA’s recall file names ST235/80R16 in one tire recall: 21T018000 (Sailun Tire Americas, Inc., 2021; make SAILUN; models BLACKHAWK, BLACKLION, IRONHEAD, ROADX, SAILUN). A tire recall covers only the brands, lines and DOT date codes it lists, and this page does not know which brand of tire this trailer was built with, so read the brand and DOT code on your own sidewalls before relying on this list. Only 242 of NHTSA’s 788 tire recalls name a size in their summary, so a size with no match is not a clean record (NHTSA recall file, read 12 Oct 2026).

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 (9,200 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,380 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 Northwood does not publish for the Nash 25DS
Northwood prints no interior height 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
6,691 lb dry and 9,200 lb GVWR, against this model’s 6,845 lb and 9,200 lb.
6,950 lb dry and 9,200 lb GVWR, against this model’s 6,845 lb and 9,200 lb.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 80-gallon fresh tank is about 664 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 28% of the Nash 25DS’s 2,355 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,691 lb (282 lb per rated berth). Across 9 Nash floorplans the water share runs 24% to 43%, and 4 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Nash 23CK at 27% and Nash 25KT at 30%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
07 Where this floorplan sits
Closest sibling: the Nash 24B, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 7 of the 9 fields both publish (this plan first): length 29 ft 2 in vs 28 ft 8 in; sleeps 6 vs 8; dry weight 6,845 lb vs 6,460 lb; cargo capacity 2,355 lb vs 2,740 lb; hitch weight 755 lb vs 758 lb; fresh tank 80 gal vs 82 gal; grey tank 40 gal vs 42 gal. They match on GVWR and black tank.

11 NHTSA safety record
NHTSA holds 3 recall campaigns and 1 owner complaint (model years 2005 on) against the Nash line (a recall and a complaint are not the same thing).
Too few reports to show a pattern. 1 complaint has been filed on this line — not enough to say what fails most often. It covers trailer hitches.
Recall coverage here is not complete, and complaints are owners’ unverified reports (how this record is built). Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Nash line page.
