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 (3,800 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (570 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 Coachmen does not publish for the Remote 16R
Coachmen prints no tire size, 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
2,753 lb dry and 3,800 lb GVWR, against this model’s 2,827 lb and 3,800 lb.
3,077 lb dry and 4,500 lb GVWR, against this model’s 2,827 lb and 3,800 lb.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 52-gallon fresh tank is about 432 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 44% of the Remote 16R’s 973 lb cargo capacity, leaving 541 lb. Across 6 Coachmen Remote floorplans the water share runs 30% to 44%, and this plan’s is the highest. Nearest on that share: Coachmen Remote Remote 14R at 41%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
