01 What Outdoors RV publishes for the Black Stone
Outdoors RV Manufacturing lists 7 Black Stone travel trailers in its Black Stone model pages on outdoorsrvmfg.com (no model year stated). Outdoors RV prints a dry weight for every one profiled here, and each has a page of its own. It prints no GVWR for any of them. It prints a net carrying capacity for 7; with no GVWR printed, the check that dry weight plus carrying capacity equals the GVWR cannot be made. (How the data is verified.)

Read from Outdoors RV’s Black Stone model pages on outdoorsrvmfg.com (no model year stated), 6 Nov 2026. “Not published” means the maker prints no figure; nothing is filled from another model, year or dealer.
03 Reading Outdoors RV’s figures
A maker’s published weight is for a base trailer; options and dealer-installed equipment add weight to any particular unit. The federal weight label inside the trailer carries its own unloaded weight, cargo carrying capacity and GVWR (49 CFR 567 and 571.120): read it on the unit itself before any towing decision.

05 Recalls
NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns affecting this line. The earliest was reported 8 Aug 2013 and the most recent 31 Oct 2024.
| Reported | Campaign | Component | What can go wrong |
|---|---|---|---|
| 31 Oct 2024 | 24V813000 | Equipment | An inverted cooktop flame increases the risk of injury or fire. |
| 6 Nov 2015 | 15V737000 | Equipment | If the wires or lines get pinched or scraped, the wires may short or the LP lines may leak. Either condition increases the risk of a fire. |
| 17 Oct 2013 | 13V509000 | Latches/locks/linkages | If the deadbolt jams, the interior side of the door lock may also jam. A person inside the travel trailer at the time will then be locked in and be unable to exit… |
| 8 Aug 2013 | 13V357000 | Equipment | If the motor assembly screws shear, it is possible that the awning can unfurl unexpectedly, either while the vehicle is at rest or while in transit, increasing the… |
Coverage is not complete: this list is a starting point, not a clearance (how it is built), so check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy and again before you tow.
NHTSA files the Black Stone as “Outdoors RV Black Stone” and with Black Stone as the make; both are counted. One 2024 campaign (24V813000, 2025 models) lists floorplan codes only; it is counted here because Outdoors RV sells codes 250RKS and 260KRS only as Black Stone models. One 2024 campaign (24V268000) is filed only under Outdoors RV’s Titanium Series name, which spans several lines; it is not counted here.
06 Owner-reported problems
A sweep of NHTSA’s complete complaint file — every safety-defect complaint NHTSA has received since 1 January 1995, matched on NHTSA’s own model field under every name this site publishes for the line — found no complaint naming this line. Treat that as no report found, not as a clean record: owners file under whatever name they were sold, and a newer or lower-volume line simply has fewer owners to file.
How this count is drawn. A report is counted here only when NHTSA’s own model field names this line. What the owner typed in the description is never used to attribute a report: our line names are ordinary English words, and an owner writing “imagine my surprise when the axle went” or naming the state of Montana is not reporting a Grand Design Imagine or a Keystone Montana.
Read these as reports, not as findings. Complaints are submitted by owners and NHTSA does not verify them; no complaint here has been confirmed as a defect, and none of them is a recall. The sample is also self-selected — only owners motivated to file appear in it — so a high count tracks how many units a line sold at least as much as how well it was built. Use the pattern, not the total: a component that keeps recurring is worth inspecting on any used unit. File or search complaints at NHTSA.
