01 What makes it unique
Cruiser RV lists the 2025 Shadow Cruiser 300RLS at 7,440 lb dry, a GVWR of 9,890 lb and a net carrying capacity of 2,418 lb. It prints no hitch weight for it. Cruiser RV’s own figures do not add up — a conflict, stated not resolved: 7,440 lb dry plus 2,418 lb carrying capacity is 9,858 lb, against a printed GVWR of 9,890 lb. All three are shown as Cruiser RV prints them and none is corrected; the federal label on the trailer is the one to trust.
It is 34' 11" long and 11' 6" high. Cruiser RV prints no tank capacity for it.
Among the 8 Shadow Cruiser floorplans Cruiser RV’s 2025 Shadow Cruiser brochure lists with a published dry weight, it is number 7 from the lightest, in a range from 5,284 lb (Shadow Cruiser 235RBS) to 8,049 lb (Shadow Cruiser 330BHS). Every figure in that comparison is Cruiser RV’s, for the same model year.
Every number on this page was read on 5 Nov 2026 from Cruiser RV’s 2025 Shadow Cruiser brochure, the maker’s own dated document for model year 2025.

04 Notes on this floorplan
What Cruiser RV does not publish for the Shadow Cruiser 300RLS
Cruiser RV prints no hitch weight, tire size, interior height, grey-tank, black-tank 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
6,932 lb dry and 9,470 lb GVWR, against this model’s 7,440 lb and 9,890 lb.
8,049 lb dry and 9,995 lb GVWR, against this model’s 7,440 lb and 9,890 lb.
06 Loading it for a trip
Cargo capacity on the Shadow Cruiser 300RLS is 2,418 lb.
No source publishes a tongue weight for the Shadow Cruiser 300RLS, so its hitch load has to come from a scale ticket taken with the trailer hitched.
