01 What makes it unique
Outdoors RV lists the Timber Ridge 24BKS at 6,800 lb dry, a net carrying capacity of 3,195 lb and a tongue weight of 850 lb. It prints no GVWR for it.
It is 28'11" long and 11'7" w/AC high. Outdoors RV prints its tanks as 80 gal fresh, 40 gal black.
Among the 11 Timber Ridge floorplans Outdoors RV’s Timber Ridge model pages on outdoorsrvmfg.com (no model year stated) lists with a published dry weight, it is number 6 from the lightest, in a range from 6,300 lb (Timber Ridge 22CE) to 7,800 lb (Timber Ridge 28RES). Every figure in that comparison is Outdoors RV’s, read from the same set of model pages.
Every number on this page was read on 6 Nov 2026 from Outdoors RV’s own Timber Ridge model pages on outdoorsrvmfg.com (no model year stated) for the Timber Ridge 24BKS, which names no model year; the figures are shown as the maker published them, and no year is claimed for them.
How the 24BKS differs from the other ten Timber Ridge floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 12.5%: second-largest of eleven, between the 22MKS (12%) and the 25RLS (12.9%).
- Tongue weight, 850 lb: fourth-heaviest of eleven, between the 24RKS, 25RDS and 25SBS (800 lb) and the 28BKS (875 lb).
- Cargo capacity, 3,195 lb: fifth-smallest of eleven, between the 25RLS (2,995 lb) and the 28RES (3,200 lb).
- Dry weight, 6,800 lb: sixth-lightest of eleven, between the 24RKS (6,775 lb) and the 25RLS (7,000 lb).
- Length, 28 ft 11 in: shared with the 24RKS; of eleven, three shorter and six longer, nearest the 22MKS (27 ft 2 in) and the 25SBS (29 ft 4 in).
Next to the 24RKS, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 24BKS is 25 lb heavier by dry weight, has 25 lb less cargo capacity and has a tongue weight 50 lb heavier; the two publish the same length, exterior height, interior height, fresh tank and black tank.
Next to the 25RLS, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 24BKS is 200 lb lighter by dry weight, has 200 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 50 lb lighter and is 10 in shorter; the two publish the same exterior height, interior height, fresh tank and black tank.

04 Notes on this floorplan
What Outdoors RV does not publish for the Timber Ridge 24BKS
Outdoors RV prints no GVWR, grey-tank, 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.

11 NHTSA safety record
NHTSA holds 3 recall campaigns and 1 owner complaint (model years 2005 on) against the Timber Ridge 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 Timber Ridge line page.
