01 What makes it unique

Starcraft lists the 2025 Autumn Ridge 20FBS at 4,615 lb unloaded (UVW), with a GVWR of 6,250 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 1,635 lb and a hitch weight of 480 lb. Its UVW plus its cargo capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.

It is 23' 8" long and 11' 2" high with the air conditioner, with 42 gal fresh, 39 gal grey, 39 gal black. Fresh water weighs about 8.3 lb per US gallon, so a full fresh tank uses roughly 349 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 9 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 20FBS, whose title names the model year 2025.

How the 20FBS differs from the other sixteen Autumn Ridge floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

  • Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 10.4%: fifth-smallest of seventeen, between the 231BH (10.1%) and the 182RB (10.5%).
  • Length, 23 ft 8 in: sixth-shortest of seventeen, between the 182RB (22 ft 11 in) and the 188BHS (23 ft 10 in).
  • Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 26.2%: seventh-largest of sixteen, between the 27BH (25.6%) and the 20MB (28.1%).
  • Tongue weight, 480 lb: seventh-lightest of seventeen, between the 231BH (425 lb) and the 22MLS (500 lb).
  • Exterior height, 11 ft 2 in: shared with the 22MLS, 26RLS and 28BHS; of seventeen, twelve lower and one taller, nearest the 26BHS (11 ft) and the 25TH (13 ft).
  • Sleeping capacity, 4: smallest of seventeen, level with the 173MD, 182RB and two others; next are the 177BH, 180BHS and three others (6).
  • Dry weight, 4,615 lb: ninth-lightest of seventeen, between the 20MB (4,315 lb) and the 26BH (4,875 lb).
  • GVWR, 6,250 lb: ninth-lowest of seventeen, between the 20MB (6,000 lb) and the 22MLS (6,700 lb).
  • Cargo capacity, 1,635 lb: ninth-smallest of seventeen, between the 28BHS (1,570 lb) and the 20MB (1,685 lb).
  • Grey tank, 39 gal: shared with the 20MB, 231BH and four others; of sixteen, seven smaller and two larger, nearest the 26BH and 26BHS (32.5 gal) and the 22MLS and 25TH (40 gal).
  • Black tank, 39 gal: shared with the 20MB, 231BH and four others; of sixteen, seven smaller and two larger, nearest the 26BH and 26BHS (32.5 gal) and the 22MLS and 25TH (40 gal).

Next to the 20MB, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 20FBS is 300 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 250 lb higher, has 50 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 50 lb lighter, is 10 in shorter, stands 7 in taller and sleeps four fewer; the two publish the same fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Next to the 26BH, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 20FBS is 260 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 600 lb lower, has 340 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 165 lb lighter, is 5 ft 10 in shorter, stands 8 in taller, has a grey tank 6.5 gal larger, has a black tank 6.5 gal larger and sleeps six fewer; the two publish the same fresh tank.

Towing it

Loaded tongue weight, rule of thumb625–938 lb
Receiver hitch rating needed6,250 lb towed / 938 lb tongue
Payload check. Budget loaded, not dry: subtract the loaded range, every passenger, the bed and cab load and a weight-distributing hitch from the payload on your tow vehicle’s door-pillar placard (49 CFR 571.110 S4.3).

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 (6,250 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (938 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).

Starcraft lists 18 Autumn Ridge floorplans. Every 2025 plan with a published weight has a page here; the rest are catalogued with the reason against each.

04 Notes on this floorplan

What Starcraft does not publish for the 20FBS

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

Lighter
Autumn Ridge 20MB

4,315 lb UVW and 6,000 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 4,615 lb and 6,250 lb.

Heavier
Autumn Ridge 26BH

4,875 lb UVW and 6,850 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 4,615 lb and 6,250 lb.

06 Loading it for a trip

A full 42-gallon fresh tank is about 349 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 21% of the 20FBS’s 1,635 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,286 lb (322 lb per rated berth). Across 17 Autumn Ridge floorplans the water share runs 11% to 39%, and 6 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Autumn Ridge 20MB at 21% and Autumn Ridge 25TH at 22%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).

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.
