01 What makes it unique
Highland Ridge lists the 2019 Silverstar THX SF383H at 12,425 lb dry, a GVWR of 18,000 lb, a net carrying capacity of 5,525 lb and a pin weight of 2,905 lb. Highland Ridge’s own figures do not add up — a conflict, stated not resolved: 12,425 lb dry plus 5,525 lb carrying capacity is 17,950 lb, against a printed GVWR of 18,000 lb. All three are shown as Highland Ridge prints them and none is corrected; the federal label on the trailer is the one to trust.
It is 157" high. Highland Ridge prints its tanks as 110 gal fresh, 114 gal grey, 82 gal black.
Among the 3 Silverstar THX floorplans Highland Ridge’s Silverstar THX brochure (listed under 2019 in Highland Ridge’s own brochure library; the brochure prints no year) lists with a published dry weight, it is number 2 from the lightest, in a range from 11,250 lb (Silverstar THX SF327G) to 12,500 lb (Silverstar THX SF350H). Every figure in that comparison is Highland Ridge’s, for the same model year.
Every number on this page was read on 6 Nov 2026 from Highland Ridge’s Silverstar THX brochure (listed under 2019 in Highland Ridge’s own brochure library; the brochure prints no year); model year 2019 comes from where the maker files it on its own site, not from the document’s text.
How the SF383H differs from the other two Silverstar THX floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- GVWR, 18,000 lb: highest of three; next is the SF350H (16,905 lb).
- Pin weight as a share of dry weight, 23.4%: largest of three; next is the SF350H (23.2%).
- Dry weight, 12,425 lb: second-lightest of three, between the SF327G (11,250 lb) and the SF350H (12,500 lb).
- Cargo capacity, 5,525 lb: second-smallest of three, between the SF350H (4,405 lb) and the SF327G (5,600 lb).
Next to the SF327G, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the SF383H is 1,175 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 1,150 lb higher, has 75 lb less cargo capacity, has a pin weight 371 lb heavier and has a black tank 41 gal larger; the two publish the same exterior height, interior height, fresh tank and grey tank.
Next to the SF350H, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the SF383H is 75 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 1,095 lb higher and has 1,120 lb more cargo capacity; the two publish the same pin weight, exterior height, interior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

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 (18,000 lb) and the upper loaded pin estimate (4,500 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern. This floorplan’s published dry weight plus cargo capacity comes to 17,950 lb, which is not its published GVWR; the check uses the published GVWR.
Loaded range: 15–25% of GVWR on the pin, a rule of thumb, not a measurement of this unit. No truck ratings or hitch classes (why; NHTSA, DOT HS 809 433). The range starts at the published figure, because loaded is never lighter than that.

04 Notes on this floorplan
What Highland Ridge does not publish for the Silverstar THX SF383H
Highland Ridge prints no 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
11,250 lb dry and 16,850 lb GVWR, against this model’s 12,425 lb and 18,000 lb.
12,500 lb dry and 16,905 lb GVWR, against this model’s 12,425 lb and 18,000 lb.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 110-gallon fresh tank is about 913 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.2), 17% of the Silverstar THX SF383H’s 5,525 lb cargo capacity, leaving 4,612 lb. Across 3 Silverstar THX floorplans the water share runs 16% to 21%, and 1 gives up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Silverstar THX SF327G at 16% and Silverstar THX SF350H at 21%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).
