01 What makes it unique
Outdoors RV lists the Timber Ridge 24RKS at 6,775 lb dry, a net carrying capacity of 3,220 lb and a tongue weight of 800 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 5 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 24RKS, which names no model year; the figures are shown as the maker published them, and no year is claimed for them.
How the 24RKS differs from the other ten Timber Ridge floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Dry weight, 6,775 lb: fifth-lightest of eleven, between the 25SBS (6,700 lb) and the 24BKS (6,800 lb).
- Cargo capacity, 3,220 lb: fifth-largest of eleven, between the 28RES (3,200 lb) and the 25SBS (3,295 lb).
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 11.8%: fifth-largest of eleven, between the 28BKS (11.6%) and the 25SBS (11.9%).
- Length, 28 ft 11 in: shared with the 24BKS; of eleven, three shorter and six longer, nearest the 22MKS (27 ft 2 in) and the 25SBS (29 ft 4 in).
- Tongue weight, 800 lb: shared with the 25RDS and 25SBS; of eleven, four lighter and four heavier, nearest the 22MKS (775 lb) and the 24BKS (850 lb).
Next to the 25SBS, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 24RKS is 75 lb heavier by dry weight, has 75 lb less cargo capacity, is 5 in shorter and has a black tank 10 gal smaller; the two publish the same tongue weight, exterior height, interior height and fresh tank.
Next to the 24BKS, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 24RKS is 25 lb lighter by dry weight, has 25 lb more cargo capacity and has a tongue weight 50 lb lighter; the two publish the same length, exterior height, interior height, fresh tank and black tank.

04 Notes on this floorplan
What Outdoors RV does not publish for the Timber Ridge 24RKS
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.
