01 What makes it unique

Keystone publishes three weights for the Redwood 420FL: a shipping weight of 17,655 lb, a carrying capacity of 3,345 lb and a hitch weight of 3,710 lb. Those are Keystone’s own terms, and this page keeps them. Keystone does not call the first figure dry or unloaded weight, does not say the hitch figure is measured dry, and publishes no GVWR for any Redwood floorplan, so none of the three is renamed here and no loaded rating is worked out from them. The trailer’s own federal weight label, inside the door, is the document that carries its UVW, cargo capacity and GVWR.

Tank capacities are 54 gal fresh, 88 gal gray and 44 gal waste, as Keystone lists them. Fresh water weighs about 8.3 lb per US gallon, so a full fresh tank is roughly 448 lb on the road before anything else is loaded. The tire size Keystone lists is ST235/80R16G; a fifth wheel puts its pin load into the truck bed, so it counts against the truck’s payload rather than its tow rating.

Against the 3 Redwood floorplans profiled here, this one is the 3rd by Keystone’s shipping weight, in a range from 15,656 lb (401LK) to 17,655 lb (420FL). Every figure in that comparison comes from the same Keystone page type for the same model year, so the comparison inside the series is like for like.

Every number on this page was read on 5 Nov 2026 from Keystone’s own floorplan page for the Redwood 420FL. That page carries no model year, so the year comes from the roster page that links it, which lists the Redwood floorplans under the heading “2027 Floorplans”. Keystone notes that its website reflects the most recent production run and that features and specifications change during the year.

How the 420FL differs from the other two Redwood floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

  • Shipping weight (Keystone’s term), 17,655 lb: heaviest of three; next is the 412GK (17,110 lb).
  • Carrying capacity (Keystone’s term), 3,345 lb: smallest of three; next is the 401LK (3,844 lb).
  • Hitch weight as Keystone lists it, 3,710 lb: heaviest of three; next is the 401LK (3,684 lb).
  • Sleeping capacity, 6: largest of three; next are the 401LK and 412GK (4).
  • Hitch weight as a share of shipping weight, 21%: second-smallest of three, between the 412GK (20.6%) and the 401LK (23.5%).

Next to the 412GK, the nearest lighter floorplan by shipping weight, the 420FL is 545 lb heavier by shipping weight, has 545 lb less carrying capacity, has a hitch weight 185 lb heavier and sleeps two more; the two publish the same length, exterior height, fresh tank and grey tank.

Towing it

Can’t check: Keystone publishes no GVWR. A tow check needs the GVWR, the most the trailer may weigh loaded, and Keystone prints none for this floorplan, so this site does not work one out. Read the GVWR on the trailer’s own federal weight label and hold it against your tow vehicle’s ratings.

03 The Redwood floorplan family

Keystone lists 3 Redwood floorplans for 2027. 3 have a complete Keystone figure set and no existing page here, and are profiled, from 15,656 lb to 17,655 lb shipping weight; the others are catalogued on this page with the reason against each. Keystone publishes shipping weight, carrying capacity and hitch weight for these trailers, and no GVWR.

04 Notes on this floorplan

What Keystone does not publish for the Redwood

No GVWR, no unloaded (dry) weight under that name, no dry hitch weight and no exterior width appear on Keystone’s floorplan pages for this series, so those rows read as not published. Nothing is filled from a sibling floorplan, 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). On a Redwood those figures come from the trailer, not from this page, and they govern the towing decision.

09 What this page publishes, and what it does not

11 NHTSA safety record

NHTSA holds 14 recall campaigns and 6 owner complaints (model years 2005 on) against the Walkabout & Redwood line (a recall and a complaint are not the same thing).

Too few reports to show a pattern. 6 complaints have been filed on this line — not enough to say what fails most often. They cover suspension, unknown or other and structure.

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 Walkabout & Redwood line page.
