2026 Passport SL2870RL

The Passport SL 2870RL is a dual opposing-slide rear-living layout with a kitchen island and two awnings — a 32-foot travel trailer aimed at couples who want an open, living-room-forward floorplan. Two slides and two awnings make it live much larger than its single-door footprint suggests.

It carries Keystone's Passport SL build — laminated, gel-coated filon sidewalls, a fully walkable roof, a one-piece polypropylene underbelly, a high-impact thermoset-resin front cap and Dexter torsion rubber-ride axles on Tamarack tires, on tandem axles. At 7,251 pounds dry against a 8,652-pound GVWR it leaves 1,401 pounds of cargo capacity, and the dry tongue weight is 955 pounds. A 10 cu ft refrigerator and 13.5K BTU air conditioning round out the equipment.

A figure worth stating plainly: Dry weight is derived from GVWR minus the RVUSA cargo capacity and is flagged; RVingPlanet lists the WE twin at 7,360 lb. Confirm against the unit's sticker. As with every lightweight trailer, the published tongue weight is a pre-production dry estimate — once water, gear and passengers are aboard, real loaded tongue weight runs higher and lands on the tow vehicle's payload, so weigh the loaded trailer and match it to your truck honestly before relying on the brochure number. For couples who want an open, living-room-forward floorplan, the 2870RL is a well-targeted pick within the Keystone value stack.

Keystone's Passport spans two builds under one nameplate: the ultra-lite Passport SL (Super Lite) line for SUVs and half-tons, and the premium Passport line with a painted fiberglass front cap, vaulted ceilings and a 15K air conditioner. The plan on this page is highlighted; each profiled plan links to its own page. The full Passport catalog runs to dozens of floorplans across both builds — the highest-demand layouts are detailed here and the rest are catalogued on the Passport hub.

Fresh water is the single biggest line in this floorplan’s load plan. A full 54-gallon tank is about 32% of the 1,401-pound cargo capacity — enough that whether you tow with water aboard is a real decision on the 2870RL rather than a detail.

The published dry tongue weight of 955 pounds is 13% of the 7,251-pound dry weight, which sits inside the 10–15% band usually quoted for stable towing. It is still a dry figure: loading the front pass-through and the fresh tank both push it up.

Nothing above changes the ceiling. Loaded to its 8,652-pound GVWR the 2870RL is towing 1,401 pounds more than its 7,251-pound dry figure, and that is the number your vehicle has to be rated for — not the brochure weight.

Tank balance is generous here: 54 gallons of fresh against 76 grey and 38 black, so waste capacity keeps pace with supply and the fresh tank is the constraint that ends a dry stay.

Ranked by GVWR, the 2870RL sits 6 of 9 in the Passport line: 8,652 pounds against a line that runs from 7,179 to 10,571 pounds. That position is the useful thing to know, because the plans immediately either side of it are the real alternatives.

Either side of it in the same line: Passport 2600FK is 157 pounds lighter at 8,495 lb GVWR; and Passport 2605RB is 148 pounds heavier at 8,800 lb GVWR.

Against the 2870RL: the Jay Feather 29RL is 2 lb lighter and 3 ft longer and sleeps 1 more; the Jay Flight 294QBS is 2 lb lighter and 3 ft longer and sleeps 5 more; the Coachmen Catalina 243RBS is 6 lb heavier and 3 ft shorter and sleeps 1 more. Those are differences in the published numbers only — what they cost, how they are built and how they live are separate questions each of those pages answers on its own terms.

Those are the nearest travel trailers from other lines by weight — one per line, picked by proximity on that figure and nothing else. They are listed so the same tow vehicle can be checked against real alternatives, not because they are equivalent inside; layout, build and price diverge sharply across that group.

For scale, the Passport floorplans profiled here run 5,260 to 8,505 pounds dry and 25 to 38 feet of exterior length across 9 plans. Where a floorplan falls in that spread usually says more about which vehicle can tow it, and which site it fits, than the layout name does.

Every profiled floorplan in this line, with the full weight table, is on the Passport line hub.

This catalog tracks 18 specification fields per floorplan. Named sources publish 16 of them for the 2870RL. The rest are not shown, because the alternative is reading a figure across from a sibling floorplan or from what the segment usually does — and a number nobody published is worth less than an admitted gap.

Not published for this floorplan: exterior width, interior height, tire size (a tire description is published, a size is not). If you find one of these in a manufacturer document for this plan, it belongs on this page.

The completeness figure at the foot of this page (86%) measures the same thing on the full field set: it is a measurement of how much this floorplan’s manufacturer publishes, not of how much research went into the page.

Values on this page carrying an asterisk were derived by arithmetic from published figures, or come from a single source, rather than being printed directly by the manufacturer. The flag travels with the number into the downloadable spec sheet.

How every figure here was sourced and checked is set out on the methodology page.
