Among the 4 Open Range Light floorplans Highland Ridge’s 2025 Open Range Light brochure lists with a published dry weight, it is number 4 from the lightest, in a range from 7,320 lb (Open Range Light 290RLS) to 8,655 lb (Open Range Light 321BHS). Every figure in that comparison is Highland Ridge’s, for the same model year.
Every number on this page was read on 6 Nov 2026 from Highland Ridge’s 2025 Open Range Light brochure, the maker’s own dated document for model year 2025.

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 (9,995 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,499 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 Open Range Light 321BHS
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.
05 How it compares
7,360 lb dry and 8,900 lb GVWR, against this model’s 8,655 lb and 9,995 lb.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 51-gallon fresh tank is about 423 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 32% of the Open Range Light 321BHS’s 1,340 lb cargo capacity, leaving 917 lb. Across 4 Open Range Light floorplans the water share runs 26% to 32%, and this plan’s is the highest. Nearest on that share: Open Range Light 263KBS at 27%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).

11 NHTSA safety record
NHTSA holds 6 recall campaigns and 1 owner complaint (model years 2005 on) against the Open Range Light 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 unknown or other.
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 Open Range Light line page.
