01 What makes it unique
Patriot Campers lists the ST5 at 4,078 lb dry, a GVWR of 5,732 lb and a tongue weight of 335 lb. Patriot Campers prints no cargo carrying capacity for it, so none is given here; the federal label inside the trailer carries one.
It is 17ft long and 7.2ft high. Patriot Campers prints its tanks as 12 gal grey.
Among the 2 Patriot Campers floorplans Patriot Campers’s Patriot Campers model pages on patriotcampers.com.au (no model year stated) lists with a published dry weight, it is number 1 from the lightest, in a range from 4,078 lb (ST5) to 4,078 lb (ST5 Finke Edition). Every figure in that comparison is Patriot Campers’s, read from the same set of model pages.
Every number on this page was read on 6 Nov 2026 from Patriot Campers’s own Patriot Campers model pages on patriotcampers.com.au (no model year stated) for the ST5, which names no model year; the figures are shown as the maker published them, and no year is claimed for them.
How the ST5 differs from the other Patriot Campers floorplan. How these ranks are worked out.
On every figure compared here the ST5 publishes the same values as the Edition, so on these numbers alone they cannot be told apart.

Axles, wheels and nose shape are schematic; not a floorplan. Data: dataset.
Towing it
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 (5,732 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (860 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 Patriot Campers does not publish for the ST5
Patriot Campers prints no cargo carrying capacity, interior height, black-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.
05 How it compares
4,078 lb dry and 5,732 lb GVWR, against this model’s 4,078 lb and 5,732 lb.
07 Where this floorplan sits
Closest sibling: the Patriot Campers ST5 Finke Edition. The two publish identical figures on all 5 fields both carry (length, dry weight, GVWR, hitch weight, grey tank), so the published record does not tell them apart; what separates them is the floorplan itself.
Either side of it by GVWR: Patriot Campers ST5 Finke Edition matches it at 5,732 lb GVWR.
