01 What makes it unique

Highland Ridge lists the 2020 Open Range Ultra Lite UT2910RL at 6,815 lb dry, a GVWR of 8,800 lb, a net carrying capacity of 1,985 lb and a tongue weight of 855 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 7 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.

How the UT2910RL differs from the other six Open Range Ultra Lite floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

  • Dry weight, 6,815 lb: heaviest of seven; next is the UT2802BH (6,205 lb).
  • GVWR, 8,800 lb: highest of seven; next is the UT2804RK (7,600 lb).
  • Cargo capacity, 1,985 lb: largest of seven; next is the UT2410RL (1,935 lb).
  • Tongue weight, 855 lb: heaviest of seven; next is the UT2402BH (805 lb).
  • Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 22.6%: second-largest of seven, between the UT2102RB (20.6%) and the UT2410RL (26.1%).
  • Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 12.5%: third-largest of seven, between the UT2804RK (11.4%) and the UT2602RL (12.6%).

Next to the UT2802BH, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the UT2910RL is 610 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 1,350 lb higher, has 740 lb more cargo capacity and has a tongue weight 335 lb heavier; the two publish the same exterior height, interior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Towing it

Tow rating needed8,800 lb
Published tongue weight855 lb
Loaded tongue weight, rule of thumb880–1,320 lb
Receiver hitch rating needed8,800 lb towed / 1,320 lb tongue
Payload check. Budget loaded, not dry: subtract the loaded range, every passenger, the bed and cab load and a weight-distributing hitch from the payload on your tow vehicle’s door-pillar placard (49 CFR 571.110 S4.3).

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 (8,800 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,320 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 Highland Ridge does not publish for the Open Range Ultra Lite UT2910RL

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

Lighter
Highland Ridge Open Range Ultra Lite UT2802BH

6,205 lb dry and 7,450 lb GVWR, against this model’s 6,815 lb and 8,800 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), 21% of the Open Range Ultra Lite UT2910RL’s 1,985 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,562 lb. Across 7 Open Range Ultra Lite floorplans the water share runs 21% to 34%, and this plan’s is the lowest. Nearest on that share: Open Range Ultra Lite UT2410RL at 22%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
