2026 Highland Ridge Roamer264RLS

The Roamer 264RLS leaves Highland Ridge's factory at 9,735 lbs dry, with a published GVWR of 11,800 lbs and 2,065 lbs of cargo capacity between the two. Cargo capacity is 18% of the loaded rating, and Highland Ridge's own definition is worth reading before you plan against it: cargo capacity is what remains for fresh water, gear, food, batteries and every dealer-installed accessory. Fresh water alone is 8.3 lb per gallon, so filling this trailer's 75-gallon fresh tank spends 622 lbs of that 2,065 lbs before anything else is loaded.

Dry pin weight is 1,790 lbs, which is 18% of the dry weight. That figure lands on the truck's rear axle and comes straight off its payload rating - not its towing rating, which is the number most often quoted and the wrong one for this decision. Pin weight rises as the trailer is loaded, and a fifth wheel loaded toward its cargo capacity will put substantially more than 1,790 lbs over the bed. Read the payload figure on your own door sticker rather than a brochure maximum for the model.

Tank capacities are 75 gallons fresh, 97 grey and 40 black, 137 gallons of waste capacity against 75 gallons of supply. The ratio is what governs how long the trailer can sit off hookups: waste capacity exceeds fresh, so the fresh tank is the binding constraint and refilling extends the stay. Highland Ridge publishes these three figures per floorplan, and they are the factory's numbers rather than a segment average.

Against the rest of the Roamer roster this is the 2nd of 4 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 8,555 lbs to 13,125 lbs. It sits in the middle of the line by weight. Comparing floorplans inside one line is more reliable than comparing across brands, because every figure here comes from the same factory channel on the same day.

A useful way to read the pair of weights is to stop planning against the dry figure. Nobody tows a trailer at 9,735 lbs: that is the weight before water, batteries, propane, bedding, food, tools and anything the dealer bolted on. Load half the published cargo capacity, which is modest for a family trip, and this plan is already near 10,767 lbs on the road. Compare that number against the tow vehicle, not the dry weight, and leave margin on top of it - the published GVWR of 11,800 lbs is a limit rather than a target.

Every number above was captured twice from Highland Ridge and checked against itself before it was published. The line roster block and the individual floorplan page are two separate factory renderings of the same trailer, and this plan's 0 shared figures agree could not be compared on both. Dry weight plus cargo capacity also equals the published GVWR exactly, which is the arithmetic check this site runs on every profiled floorplan. Where a figure is missing from this page it is because Highland Ridge does not publish it in this channel, not because it was hard to find - and the row says so rather than being quietly dropped.

Highland Ridge publishes no floorplan description for this plan in the channel this page is built from - only the numeric specification block. Rather than describe a layout from the floorplan code, which would be a guess dressed as a fact, this page carries what the factory publishes and says where it stops. 264RLS is a Roamer designation and this site does not decode it into a layout claim.

Roamer is Highland Ridge's fifth-wheel line. Four floorplans are published for 2026 and all four are profiled, running 8,555 lb dry on a 32-foot 8-inch to 13,125 lb on a 42-foot 1-inch, with dry pin weights of 1,665 to 2,535 lb. Those pin figures are the number that decides the truck: 2,535 lb dry is already past what many half-tons carry in the bed once passengers and a hitch are in it. Dry weight plus cargo capacity equals the published GVWR exactly on all four.

Fresh water is the single biggest line in this floorplan’s load plan. A full 75-gallon tank is about 30% of the 2,065-pound cargo capacity — enough that whether you tow with water aboard is a real decision on the 264RLS rather than a detail.

The published dry pin weight of 1,790 pounds is 18% of this floorplan’s 9,735-pound dry weight. Fifth-wheel pin weight rides in the bed of the truck, so it comes off payload rather than off tow rating — and it rises with the trailer as you load it, not in proportion to what you put over the axles.

Nothing above changes the ceiling. Loaded to its 11,800-pound GVWR the 264RLS is towing 2,065 pounds more than its 9,735-pound dry figure, and that is the number your vehicle has to be rated for — not the brochure weight.

Tank balance is generous here: 75 gallons of fresh against 97 grey and 40 black, so waste capacity keeps pace with supply and the fresh tank is the constraint that ends a dry stay.

Ranked by GVWR, the 264RLS sits 2 of 4 in the Roamer line: 11,800 pounds against a line that runs from 10,400 to 15,400 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: Roamer 27RKSS is 1,400 pounds lighter at 10,400 lb GVWR; and Roamer 32RLTS is 1,400 pounds heavier at 13,200 lb GVWR.

Against the 264RLS: the Eagle 31QBH is 100 lb lighter; the Reflection 32BH is 195 lb heavier and 3 ft longer; the Blackthorn 279BH is 280 lb lighter. 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 fifth wheels 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 Roamer floorplans profiled here run 8,555 to 13,125 pounds dry and 33 to 42 feet of exterior length across 4 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 Roamer line hub.

This catalog tracks 18 specification fields per floorplan. Named sources publish 11 of them for the 264RLS. 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: interior height, sleeps, slide count, axle count, tire specification, refrigerator, air conditioning. 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 (100%) 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.

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