01 What makes it unique
Highland Ridge lists the 2020 Open Range Ultra Lite UT2402BH at 5,895 lb dry, a GVWR of 7,250 lb, a net carrying capacity of 1,355 lb and a tongue weight of 805 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 11' 1" high. Highland Ridge prints its tanks as 51 gal fresh, 58 gal grey, 29 gal black.
Among the 7 Open Range Ultra Lite floorplans Highland Ridge’s Open Range Ultra Lite brochure (filed under 2020 on its own site; the brochure prints no year) lists with a published dry weight, it is number 3 from the lightest, in a range from 5,465 lb (Open Range Ultra Lite UT2410RL) to 6,815 lb (Open Range Ultra Lite UT2910RL). Every figure in that comparison is Highland Ridge’s, for the same model year.
Every number on this page was read on 5 Nov 2026 from Highland Ridge’s Open Range Ultra Lite brochure (filed under 2020 on its own site; the brochure prints no year); model year 2020 comes from where the maker files it on its own site, not from the document’s text.

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 (7,250 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,088 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 Ultra Lite UT2402BH
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
5,560 lb dry and 7,000 lb GVWR, against this model’s 5,895 lb and 7,250 lb.
6,035 lb dry and 7,400 lb GVWR, against this model’s 5,895 lb and 7,250 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), 31% of the Open Range Ultra Lite UT2402BH’s 1,355 lb cargo capacity, leaving 932 lb. Across 7 Open Range Ultra Lite floorplans the water share runs 21% to 34%, and 1 gives up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Open Range Ultra Lite UT2602RL at 31% and Open Range Ultra Lite UT2802BH at 34%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
