2026 East to West Silver Lake2500RD

The Silver Lake 2500RD leaves East to West's factory at 5,913 lbs dry with 1,722 lbs of cargo capacity. East to West publishes no GVWR for this line, so the loaded rating is not quoted on this page and is not computed from the other two figures. What the cargo number covers is defined by the factory: fresh water, gear, food, batteries and every dealer-installed accessory come out of it. Fresh water is 8.3 lb per gallon, so filling the 40-gallon fresh tank spends 332 lbs of the 1,722 lbs before anything else goes in.

Tongue weight is 635 lbs, 11% of the dry weight as published; it rises as the trailer is loaded and counts against the tow vehicle’s tongue-weight and payload limits (tongue weight by size).

Off hookups: 90 gallons of grey and black capacity against 40 gallons of fresh water, so fresh water runs out first (tank sizes by length).

Against the rest of the Silver Lake roster this is the 10th of 13 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 3,149 lbs to 7,518 lbs. It sits in the heavier third of the line.

Plan the tow on loaded weight, not the 5,913 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 6,774 lbs. East to West publishes no loaded rating for this line, so the ceiling is the one on the trailer’s own weight label (how to read trailer weights).

East to West’s line listing and this floorplan’s own factory page agree on all 4 shared figures. No GVWR is published for this line, so dry plus cargo has no rating to check against. A missing row means East to West does not publish that figure (how figures are verified).

East to West 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. 2500RD is a Silver Lake designation and this site does not decode it into a layout claim.

How the 2500RD differs from the other twelve Silver Lake floorplans. Most distinctive first. Sibling pages may cover other model years than this one (2026). How these ranks are worked out.

• Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 10.7%: third-smallest of thirteen, between the 2700BH (10.5%) and the 1800RB and 2300RD (11.4%).
• Dry weight, 5,913 lb: fourth-heaviest of thirteen, between the 1800RB (5,193 lb) and the 2600RB (6,158 lb).
• Tongue weight, 635 lb: fourth-heaviest of thirteen, between the 1800RB (590 lb) and the 2700BH (670 lb).
• Length, 29 ft 10 in: fourth-longest of thirteen, between the 2400BH (28 ft 7 in) and the 2600RB (30 ft 6 in).
• Cargo capacity, 1,722 lb: fifth-largest of thirteen, between the 19SBH (1,666 lb) and the 1800RB (2,397 lb).
• Grey tank, 60 gal: largest of thirteen, level with the 2600RB, 2700BH and 3250QB; next are the 15SRB, 1600RBLE and seven others (30 gal).
• Exterior height, 10 ft 9 in: shared with the 1800RB, 2300RD and three others; of thirteen, six lower and one taller, nearest the 19SBH and 19SBHS (10 ft 4 in) and the 3250QB (10 ft 11 in).

Next to the 1800RB, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 2500RD is 720 lb heavier by dry weight, has 675 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 45 lb heavier, is 4 ft 11 in longer and has a grey tank 30 gal larger; the two publish the same exterior height, fresh tank and black tank.

Next to the 2600RB, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 2500RD is 245 lb lighter by dry weight, has 160 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 85 lb lighter and is 8 in shorter; the two publish the same exterior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Silver Lake is the lightest complete roster on this site from any East to West line, and it is organised around a single split. Three LE plans are single-axle trailers from 3,548 lb dry with 475 to 550 lb on the tongue; the other seven are tandem-axle and run to 7,518 lb dry with 565 to 780 lb on the tongue. Every one of the ten is a bumper pull. The practical read is that the tow rating that matters is the one on your own door sticker, against the loaded weight rather than the dry figure. Cargo capacity runs 1,062 to 3,462 lb.

A full 40-gallon fresh tank is about 332 lb of water, 19% of the 2500RD’s 1,722 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,390 lb. Across 13 Silver Lake floorplans the water share runs 10% to 35%, and 8 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Silver Lake 1800RB at 14% and Silver Lake 19SBH at 20%.
