01 What makes it unique
Starcraft lists the 2025 Autumn Ridge 180BHS at 3,785 lb unloaded (UVW), with a GVWR of 4,995 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 1,210 lb and a hitch weight of 405 lb. Its UVW plus its cargo capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 22' 2" long and 10' 7" high with the air conditioner, with 20 gal fresh, 20 gal grey, 20 gal black. Fresh water weighs about 8.3 lb per US gallon, so a full fresh tank uses roughly 166 lb of the cargo capacity before anything else is loaded.
Among the 18 Autumn Ridge floorplans Starcraft lists for 2025 with a published weight, it is number 5 by unloaded weight, in a range from 3,135 lb (173MD) to 6,330 lb (28BHS). Every figure in that comparison is Starcraft’s, for the same model year.
Every number on this page was read on 5 Nov 2026 from Starcraft’s own floorplan page for the Autumn Ridge 180BHS, whose title names the model year 2025.
How the 180BHS differs from the other sixteen Autumn Ridge floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Length, 22 ft 2 in: third-shortest of seventeen, between the 173MD and 177BH (21 ft 3 in) and the 19BH (22 ft 4 in).
- Cargo capacity, 1,210 lb: fourth-smallest of seventeen, between the 182RB (1,045 lb) and the 188BHS (1,355 lb).
- Dry weight, 3,785 lb: fifth-lightest of seventeen, between the 182RB (3,605 lb) and the 188BHS (4,145 lb).
- Tongue weight, 405 lb: fifth-lightest of seventeen, between the 19BH (395 lb) and the 231BH (425 lb).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 24.2%: seventh-smallest of sixteen, between the 182RB and 26RLS (22.5%) and the 188BHS (24.6%).
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 10.7%: seventh-smallest of seventeen, between the 182RB (10.5%) and the 19BH (11.2%).
- Fresh tank, 20 gal: smallest of seventeen, level with the 182RB, 188BHS and 19BH; next are the 173MD and 177BH (30 gal).
- GVWR, 4,995 lb: shared with the 19BH; of seventeen, three lower and twelve higher, nearest the 182RB (4,650 lb) and the 188BHS (5,500 lb).
- Grey tank, 20 gal: smallest of sixteen, level with the 173MD, 177BH and two others; next are the 26BH and 26BHS (32.5 gal).
- Black tank, 20 gal: smallest of sixteen, level with the 173MD, 177BH and two others; next are the 26BH and 26BHS (32.5 gal).
- Exterior height, 10 ft 7 in: shared with the 188BHS, 19BH and 20MB; of seventeen, seven lower and six taller, nearest the 182RB, 263TH and two others (10 ft 6 in) and the 26BHS (11 ft).
- Sleeping capacity, 6: shared with the 177BH, 19BH and two others; of seventeen, five smaller and seven larger, nearest the 173MD, 182RB and three others (4) and the 188BHS and 20MB (8).
Next to the 182RB, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 180BHS is 180 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 345 lb higher, has 165 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 25 lb heavier, is 9 in shorter, stands 1 in taller and sleeps two more; the two publish the same fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.
Next to the 188BHS, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 180BHS is 360 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 505 lb lower, has 145 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 130 lb lighter, is 1 ft 8 in shorter and sleeps two fewer; the two publish the same exterior height and fresh tank.

How these published figures sit against the rest of the catalogue: travel trailer tongue weight by size; fresh, grey and black tank sizes; camper trailer size chart.
Federal tire recalls naming this size. NHTSA’s recall file names ST225/75R15 in 2 tire recalls: 14T015000 (Dynamic Tire Corp., 2014; make TOWMAX STR; model ST); 17T014000 (Triangle Tire USA, 2017; make TRIANGLE; model TR643). A tire recall covers only the brands, lines and DOT date codes it lists, and this page does not know which brand of tire this trailer was built with, so read the brand and DOT code on your own sidewalls before relying on this list. Only 242 of NHTSA’s 788 tire recalls name a size in their summary, so a size with no match is not a clean record (NHTSA recall file, read 12 Oct 2026).

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 (4,995 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (749 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern.
Loaded range: 10–15% of GVWR on the tongue, a rule of thumb, not a measurement of this unit. No truck ratings or hitch classes (why; NHTSA, DOT HS 809 433).

04 Notes on this floorplan
What Starcraft does not publish for the 180BHS
Starcraft’s page prints no axle count and no interior height against this floorplan, so none is given. Nothing is filled from a sibling floorplan, 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
3,605 lb UVW and 4,650 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 3,785 lb and 4,995 lb.
4,145 lb UVW and 5,500 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 3,785 lb and 4,995 lb.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 20-gallon fresh tank is about 166 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 14% of the 180BHS’s 1,210 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,044 lb (174 lb per rated berth). Across 17 Autumn Ridge floorplans the water share runs 11% to 39%, and 14 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Autumn Ridge 188BHS at 12% and Autumn Ridge 263TH at 15%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
07 Where this floorplan sits
Closest sibling: the Autumn Ridge 19BH, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 4 of the 9 fields both publish (this plan first): length 22 ft 2 in vs 22 ft 4 in; dry weight 3,785 lb vs 3,540 lb; cargo capacity 1,210 lb vs 1,455 lb; hitch weight 405 lb vs 395 lb. They match on sleeps, GVWR, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

11 NHTSA safety record
NHTSA holds 18 recall campaigns and 14 owner complaints (model years 2005 on) against the Autumn Ridge line (a recall and a complaint are not the same thing).
What to look at on a used one. Across the 14 complaints filed on this line the most-reported components are equipment (36%), electrical system (14%) and latches/locks/linkages (14%).
Recall coverage here is not complete, and complaints are owners’ unverified reports (how this record is built). Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Autumn Ridge line page.
