01 What makes it unique
Highland Ridge lists the 2022 Silverstar XLT 294RLS at 9,870 lb dry, a GVWR of 12,000 lb, a net carrying capacity of 2,130 lb and a pin weight of 2,000 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 34' 5" long and 12' 3" high. Highland Ridge prints its tanks as 81 gal fresh, 97 gal grey, 40 gal black.
Among the 4 Silverstar XLT floorplans Highland Ridge’s 2022 Silverstar XLT brochure lists with a published dry weight, it is number 2 from the lightest, in a range from 9,700 lb (Silverstar XLT 264RLS) to 11,210 lb (Silverstar XLT 354MBH). 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 2022 Silverstar XLT brochure, the maker’s own dated document for model year 2022.

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 (12,000 lb) and the upper loaded pin estimate (3,000 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern.
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 XLT 294RLS
Highland Ridge prints no interior height, 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
9,700 lb dry and 11,500 lb GVWR, against this model’s 9,870 lb and 12,000 lb.
11,020 lb dry and 13,500 lb GVWR, against this model’s 9,870 lb and 12,000 lb.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 81-gallon fresh tank is about 672 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.2), 32% of the Silverstar XLT 294RLS’s 2,130 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,458 lb. Across 4 Silverstar XLT floorplans the water share runs 27% to 37%, and 1 gives up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Silverstar XLT 354MBH at 29% and Silverstar XLT 264RLS at 37%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).
