01 What makes it unique
Northwood lists the Nash Camp 17K at 4,760 lb dry, a GVWR of 7,400 lb, a net carrying capacity of 2,640 lb and a tongue weight of 605 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 11’1″ incl. AC high. Northwood prints its tanks as 80 gal fresh, 35 gal grey, 36 gal black.
Among the 10 Nash Camp floorplans Northwood’s Nash Camp model pages on northwoodmfg.com (no model year stated) lists with a published dry weight, it is number 1 from the lightest, in a range from 4,760 lb (Nash Camp 17K) to 7,275 lb (Nash Camp 29S). 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 Camp model pages on northwoodmfg.com (no model year stated) for the Nash Camp 17K, which names no model year; the figures are shown as the maker published them, and no year is claimed for them.
How the 17K differs from the other nine Nash Camp floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Dry weight, 4,760 lb: lightest of ten; next is the 18FM (5,645 lb).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 35.7%: largest of ten; next is the 24SD (34.2%).
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 12.7%: largest of ten; next is the 23CK (12.3%).
- Exterior height, 11 ft 1 in: lowest of ten; next are the 18FM, 19BS and seven others (11 ft 6 in).
- Grey tank, 35 gal: smallest of nine; next are the 25DS and 29S (40 gal).
- Tongue weight, 605 lb: fourth-lightest of ten, between the 24SD (590 lb) and the 23D (650 lb).
- Cargo capacity, 2,640 lb: fifth-smallest of ten, between the 25KT (2,550 lb) and the 25DS (2,665 lb).
- GVWR, 7,400 lb: lowest of ten, level with the 18FM and 19BS; next is the 23D (7,500 lb).
- Fresh tank, 80 gal: smallest of ten, level with the 24SD, 25DS and 25KT; next are the 18FM, 19BS and four others (82 gal).
- Black tank, 36 gal: shared with the 18FM and 23CK; of ten, six smaller and one larger, nearest the 23D, 24B and four others (35 gal) and the 19BS (42 gal).
- Sleeping capacity, 4: shared with the 19BS, 23CK and two others; of ten, one smaller and four larger, nearest the 24SD (2) and the 25DS (6).
Next to the 18FM, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 17K is 885 lb lighter by dry weight, has 885 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 65 lb heavier, stands 5 in lower, has a fresh tank 2 gal smaller, has a grey tank 12 gal smaller and sleeps four fewer; the two publish the same GVWR 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 ST225/75R15 in 2 tire recalls: 14T015000 (Dynamic Tire Corp., 2014; make TOWMAX STR; model ST); 17T014000 (Triangle Tire USA, 2017; make TRIANGLE; model TR643). 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 (7,400 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,110 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 Camp 17K
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
5,645 lb dry and 7,400 lb GVWR, against this model’s 4,760 lb and 7,400 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), 25% of the Nash Camp 17K’s 2,640 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,976 lb (494 lb per rated berth). Across 10 Nash Camp floorplans the water share runs 20% to 40%, and 4 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Nash Camp 25DS at 25% and Nash Camp 25KT at 26%. 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 Camp 25KT, nearest on the published figures.
