01 What makes it unique
The Springdale 220ML is a front private king bedroom with a rear corner bath and rear kitchen, under a single slide — a 26-foot travel trailer aimed at couples and small families who want a standard king bed and a large rear bath on a steel-framed value trailer. A standard king bed is unusual at this size and price, and the large rear corner bath pairs a separate shower with vanity storage; a tri-fold sleeper sofa and theater seating extend sleeping to six under panoramic windows.
It carries Springdale's value build — a powder-coated I-beam steel frame with stamped cross-members and outriggers, laminated sidewalls and a walkable roof membrane, with a 15,000-BTU ducted air conditioner standard, on tandem axles. At 5,499 pounds dry against a 7,500-pound GVWR it leaves 2,001 pounds of cargo capacity, and the dry tongue weight is 665 pounds. A 10 cu ft refrigerator and 15K BTU air conditioning round out the equipment.
A figure worth stating plainly: Dry weight (5,499 lb) is from RVingPlanet's 2026 220ML (no West-edition twin exists for this plan). GVWR (7,500) is derived as dry plus the RVUSA cargo capacity (2,001 lb), and matches an independently listed 2024 220ML GVWR of 7,500. MSRP is not published on RVUSA; the price is dealer-quoted. RVUSA lists a king bed and sleeping capacity 6; a prior-model-year dealer listing described a queen and sleeping 4. As with every lightweight trailer, the published tongue weight is a pre-production dry estimate — once water, gear and passengers are aboard, real loaded tongue weight runs higher and lands on the tow vehicle's payload, so weigh the loaded trailer and match it to your truck honestly before relying on the brochure number. For couples and small families who want a standard king bed and a large rear bath on a steel-framed value trailer, the 220ML is a well-targeted pick within the Keystone value stack.

These graphics are generated from the same verified record that builds the table above, and are published under this site’s own licence — nothing here is traced from, or derived from, a manufacturer drawing or photo. Where a figure is not published for this plan, the graphic that would need it is omitted rather than estimated. The full record is in the published dataset.
What it takes to tow this
Built from this floorplan’s verified weights. We publish the trailer side only.
We do not publish tow ratings for specific trucks. A single model can vary by thousands of pounds depending on engine, axle ratio, cab, drivetrain and package — the only authoritative figure is the one on your own door jamb. Loaded tongue percentages are industry convention for travel trailers (10–15% of loaded weight), not a measurement of this unit. Hitch classes are not used here as a rating: SAE J684 covers trailers to 10,000 lb GVWR and does not define Class V, and capacity boundaries differ between manufacturers — read the rating stamped on your hitch.
03 The Springdale floorplan family
Keystone's Springdale is a broad lightweight line built on a powder-coated I-beam steel frame with a 15,000-BTU ducted air conditioner standard. The plan on this page is highlighted; each profiled plan links to its own page. The full Springdale catalog runs to many floorplans — the highest-demand layouts are detailed here and the rest are catalogued on the Springdale hub.

Figures for profiled plans are verified against RVUSA structured spec records (2026); MSRP is dealer-quoted where RVUSA omits it, and dry weight is reconciled against the RVUSA cargo capacity. Options affect final weights — always confirm against the unit's own weight sticker.
04 What owners & reviewers report
Front private king bedroom
A front-bedroom couples' travel trailer with a king bed and a roomy rear corner bath: a single-slide Springdale in just over 26 feet, sleeping up to six on an I-beam steel frame with a 15K A/C standard.
Built for couples and small families who want a standard king bed and a large rear bath on a steel-framed value trailer
A standard king bed is unusual at this size and price, and the large rear corner bath pairs a separate shower with vanity storage; a tri-fold sleeper sofa and theater seating extend sleeping to six under panoramic windows.
Verify the loaded tongue weight before you tow
Keystone publishes tongue weight as a pre-production dry estimate; real loaded tongue weight runs higher and lands on the tow vehicle's payload. Weigh the loaded trailer and check it against your truck's rating before relying on the brochure figure.
On the weight figures
Dry weight (5,499 lb) is from RVingPlanet's 2026 220ML (no West-edition twin exists for this plan). GVWR (7,500) is derived as dry plus the RVUSA cargo capacity (2,001 lb), and matches an independently listed 2024 220ML GVWR of 7,500. MSRP is not published on RVUSA; the price is dealer-quoted. RVUSA lists a king bed and sleeping capacity 6; a prior-model-year dealer listing described a queen and sleeping 4.
05 How it compares
The line's other front-bedroom rear-bath couples' plan — similar size and a full rear bath, a queen rather than a king and a slightly different galley.
A lighter, shorter rear-living couples' plan — an open rear lounge instead of a rear corner bath and kitchen.
The family bunkhouse of the line — bunks and a far bigger payload for families rather than couples.
06 Loading it for a trip
This floorplan carries its water comfortably. A full 46-gallon fresh tank is roughly 19% of the 2,001-pound cargo capacity, leaving the 220ML with a usable gear budget even when you tow full.
| Weight budget | Figure | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Cargo capacity as published (CCC) | 2,001 lb | Everything you add: gear, water, propane, batteries, food, people’s belongings. |
| Fresh tank filled (46 gal × 8.34 lb) | −384 lb | Water is the heaviest thing most owners add, and it is added first. |
| Cargo budget left with a full fresh tank | 1,617 lb | 19% of this plan’s capacity is spent before a single bag is loaded. |
| Per sleeping position, water aboard | 270 lb | A rough share of what is left across the 6 berths this plan sleeps. |
The published dry tongue weight of 665 pounds is 12% of the 5,499-pound dry weight, which sits inside the 10–15% band usually quoted for stable towing. It is still a dry figure: loading the front pass-through and the fresh tank both push it up.
Nothing above changes the ceiling. Loaded to its 7,500-pound GVWR the 220ML is towing 2,001 pounds more than its 5,499-pound dry figure, and that is the number your vehicle has to be rated for — not the brochure weight.
Tank balance is generous here: 46 gallons of fresh against 39 grey and 39 black, so waste capacity keeps pace with supply and the fresh tank is the constraint that ends a dry stay.
07 Where this floorplan sits
Ranked by GVWR, the 220ML sits 3 of 12 in the Springdale line: 7,500 pounds against a line that runs from 6,500 to 9,820 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: Springdale 2120RKS matches it exactly at 7,500 lb GVWR; and Springdale 2100RL is 20 pounds heavier at 7,520 lb GVWR.
1 other Springdale plan shares this floorplan’s 7,500 lb GVWR, so the ranking above separates plans that tow to the same ceiling. On a shared chassis the figure that actually differs between them is cargo capacity and where the weight sits, not the rating.
| Comparable travel trailers | GVWR (lb) | Dry (lb) | Sleeps | Length |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 220ML | 7,500 | 5,499 | 6 | 26 ft 2 in |
| Coachmen Freedom Express Ultra Lite 245RKS | 7,500 | 5,980 | 4 | 28 ft 5 in |
| Hideout 212RKS | 7,500 | 5,360 | 3 | 25 ft 6 in |
| Jay Feather 22BH | 7,500 | 5,565 | 7 | 28 ft 10 in |
| Jay Flight 236TH | 7,500 | 5,060 | 4 | 28 ft 4 in |
| North Trail 250CK | 7,500 | 5,925 | 4 | 30 ft 1 in |
| White Hawk 25MBH | 7,500 | 6,195 | 8 | 30 ft 8 in |
Against the 220ML: the Coachmen Freedom Express Ultra Lite 245RKS is 2 ft longer and sleeps 2 fewer; the Hideout 212RKS sleeps 3 fewer; the Jay Feather 22BH is 3 ft longer and sleeps 1 more. 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 travel trailers 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 Springdale floorplans profiled here run 4,647 to 7,815 pounds dry and 25 to 36 feet of exterior length across 12 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 Springdale line hub.
08 Common questions about the 220ML
How much does the 220ML weigh?
It leaves the factory at 5,499 pounds dry, and its manufacturer-set loaded ceiling (GVWR) is 7,500 pounds. Real towing weight lands between the two and depends entirely on what you load. Use the GVWR when matching a tow vehicle; the dry figure is only useful for comparing floorplans against each other.
How much can the 220ML carry?
Cargo carrying capacity is 2,001 pounds. That is the whole budget: water, propane, batteries, gear and everything you bring. Filling the 46-gallon fresh tank uses about 384 pounds of that.
What is the tongue weight of the 220ML?
The published dry tongue weight is 665 pounds. It is measured empty; loaded, it runs higher, and it comes out of your tow vehicle’s payload rather than its tow rating.
What size tow vehicle does the 220ML need?
Your vehicle needs a tow rating of at least 7,500 pounds — this floorplan’s GVWR — and enough payload left over for the hitch load, passengers and anything in the bed. This site does not publish tow ratings for specific vehicles, because one truck model varies by thousands of pounds across engine, axle ratio, cab and package. The figure that governs is the payload sticker on your own door jamb.
How many people does the 220ML sleep?
It is rated to sleep 6. Rated sleeping positions include convertible furniture, so count the beds against how you actually travel rather than against the number.
What are the tank capacities on the 220ML?
Fresh 46 gallons, grey 39 gallons, black 39 gallons. Tank sizes set how long the floorplan can sit away from hookups, and the smallest of the three is what ends the stay.
How long is the 220ML?
Exterior length is 26' 2". Measure against your site length and your storage before committing — the exterior figure is the one that has to fit, and it includes the tongue or pin box.
Every figure in these answers is read from this page’s verified specification table. Where the manufacturer publishes nothing, the question is not answered rather than estimated.
09 What this page publishes, and what it does not
This catalog tracks 18 specification fields per floorplan. Named sources publish 15 of them for the 220ML. 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: exterior width, interior height, tire specification. 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 (88%) 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.
11 NHTSA safety record
This floorplan belongs to the Springdale line, and NHTSA holds 31 recall campaigns and 48 owner complaints against that line. They are separate records and are not added together — a recall is a manufacturer-confirmed defect with a remedy; a complaint is one owner’s account, which NHTSA does not verify.
What to look at on a used one. Across the 48 complaints filed on this line the most-reported components are equipment (33%), structure (19%) and tires (17%). That is where owners of this family have had trouble, so it is where an inspection is worth the time.
Recall coverage is not complete — our harvest of NHTSA’s recall API ran 1,556 queries, of which 0 failed and 242 returned an explicit zero. A line can still be under-reported where NHTSA files a roster under a parent name, or where a match rests on the wording of the recall rather than its model field. Complaints come from the complete bulk file but are unverified and self-selected: a high count tracks how many units a line sold at least as much as how well it was built. Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Springdale line page.
