2026 Highland Ridge Open Range Travel Trailer322RLS

The Open Range Travel Trailer 322RLS leaves Highland Ridge's factory at 9,465 lbs dry, with a published GVWR of 11,500 lbs and 2,035 lbs of cargo capacity between the two. Cargo capacity is 18% of the loaded rating, and Highland Ridge's own definition is worth reading before you plan against it: cargo capacity is what remains for fresh water, gear, food, batteries and every dealer-installed accessory. Fresh water alone is 8.3 lb per gallon, so filling this trailer's 5-gallon fresh tank spends 42 lbs of that 2,035 lbs before anything else is loaded.

Dry tongue weight is 1,275 lbs, or 13% of the dry weight. Ten to fifteen percent is the conventional band for a bumper-pull trailer, and this plan sits inside it as published. Tongue weight is not fixed: it moves with how the trailer is loaded, and weight added ahead of the axles raises it. A weight-distribution hitch is the normal fitment at this tongue load, and the tow vehicle's tongue-weight limit is a separate number from its trailer-weight limit.

Tank capacities are 5 gallons fresh, 114 grey and 31 black, 145 gallons of waste capacity against 5 gallons of supply. The ratio is what governs how long the trailer can sit off hookups: waste capacity exceeds fresh, so the fresh tank is the binding constraint and refilling extends the stay. Highland Ridge publishes these three figures per floorplan, and they are the factory's numbers rather than a segment average.

Against the rest of the Open Range Travel Trailer roster this is the 4th of 6 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 4,315 lbs to 10,260 lbs. It sits in the heavier third of the line. Comparing floorplans inside one line is more reliable than comparing across brands, because every figure here comes from the same factory channel on the same day.

A useful way to read the pair of weights is to stop planning against the dry figure. Nobody tows a trailer at 9,465 lbs: that is the weight before water, batteries, propane, bedding, food, tools and anything the dealer bolted on. Load half the published cargo capacity, which is modest for a family trip, and this plan is already near 10,483 lbs on the road. Compare that number against the tow vehicle, not the dry weight, and leave margin on top of it - the published GVWR of 11,500 lbs is a limit rather than a target.

Every number above was read from Highland Ridge's own factory page for this floorplan. It was read once, from that page only, so there is no second factory listing to check it against. Dry weight plus cargo capacity also equals the published GVWR exactly, which is the arithmetic check this site runs on every profiled floorplan. Where a figure is missing from this page it is because Highland Ridge does not publish it in this channel, not because it was hard to find - and the row says so rather than being quietly dropped.

Highland Ridge publishes no floorplan description for this plan in the channel this page is built from - only the numeric specification block. Rather than describe a layout from the floorplan code, which would be a guess dressed as a fact, this page carries what the factory publishes and says where it stops. 322RLS is a Open Range Travel Trailer designation and this site does not decode it into a layout claim.

Open Range is the badge Highland Ridge now trades under, and its travel-trailer roster is the widest spread in the catalogue: six floorplans for 2026 running 4,315 lb dry on a 24-foot 6-inch up to 10,260 lb on a 39-foot 6-inch, with dry tongue weights of 500 to 1,420 lb. That is a mid-size-SUV trailer and a three-quarter-ton trailer on the same roster, so the line name settles nothing about what will tow it. Dry weight plus cargo capacity equals the published GVWR exactly on all six.

A full 5-gallon fresh tank is about 42 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.2), 2% of the 322RLS’s 2,035 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,993 lb. Across 6 Open Range Travel Trailer floorplans the water share runs 2% to 24%, and this plan’s is the lowest. Nearest on that share: Open Range Travel Trailer 338BHS at 18%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).

Closest sibling: the Open Range Travel Trailer 335RBS, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 8 of the 8 fields both publish (this plan first): length 37 ft 9 in vs 39 ft 6 in; dry weight 9,465 lb vs 10,260 lb; GVWR 11,500 lb vs 11,995 lb; cargo capacity 2,035 lb vs 1,735 lb; dry hitch weight 1,275 lb vs 1,385 lb; fresh tank 5 gal vs 43 gal; grey tank 114 gal vs 66 gal; black tank 31 gal vs 33 gal.

Either side of it by GVWR: Open Range Travel Trailer 26RLS is 3,900 lb lighter (7,600 lb GVWR); Open Range Travel Trailer 335RBS is 495 lb heavier (11,995 lb GVWR).
