01 What makes it unique
Starcraft lists the 2025 Autumn Ridge 20MB at 4,315 lb unloaded (UVW), with a GVWR of 6,000 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 1,685 lb and a hitch weight of 530 lb. Its UVW plus its cargo capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 24' 6" long and 10' 7" 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 8 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 20MB, whose title names the model year 2025.
How the 20MB differs from the other sixteen Autumn Ridge floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 28.1%: sixth-largest of sixteen, between the 20FBS (26.2%) and the 26BH (28.8%).

- Sleeping capacity, 8: shared with the 188BHS; of seventeen, ten smaller and five larger, nearest the 177BH, 180BHS and three others (6) and the 231BH, 26BH and two others (10).
- Grey tank, 39 gal: shared with the 20FBS, 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 20FBS, 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).

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 (6,000 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (900 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 20MB
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
4,200 lb UVW and 5,995 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 4,315 lb and 6,000 lb.
4,615 lb UVW and 6,250 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 4,315 lb and 6,000 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 20MB’s 1,685 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,336 lb (167 lb per rated berth). Across 17 Autumn Ridge floorplans the water share runs 11% to 39%, and 7 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Autumn Ridge 26RLS at 20% and Autumn Ridge 20FBS at 21%. 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 231BH, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 6 of the 9 fields both publish (this plan first): length 24 ft 6 in vs 27 ft 1 in; sleeps 8 vs 10; dry weight 4,315 lb vs 4,200 lb; GVWR 6,000 lb vs 5,995 lb; cargo capacity 1,685 lb vs 1,795 lb; hitch weight 530 lb vs 425 lb. They match on 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.
