01 What makes it unique
Starcraft lists the 2025 Autumn Ridge 27BH at 5,210 lb unloaded (UVW), with a GVWR of 7,000 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 1,790 lb and a hitch weight of 670 lb. Its UVW plus its cargo capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 30' 7" long and 10' 6" high with the air conditioner, with 84 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 697 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 11 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 27BH, whose title names the model year 2025.
How the 27BH differs from the other sixteen Autumn Ridge floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Sleeping capacity, 12: largest of seventeen; next are the 231BH, 26BH and two others (10).
- Length, 30 ft 7 in: third-longest of seventeen, between the 263TH (30 ft 4 in) and the 26BHS (30 ft 8 in).
- Fresh tank, 84 gal: largest of seventeen, level with the 25TH; next are the 20FBS, 20MB and seven others (42 gal).
- GVWR, 7,000 lb: sixth-highest of seventeen, between the 26BH (6,850 lb) and the 26BHS (7,500 lb).
- Cargo capacity, 1,790 lb: sixth-largest of seventeen, between the 26RLS (1,710 lb) and the 231BH (1,795 lb).
- Tongue weight, 670 lb: sixth-heaviest of seventeen, between the 26BH (645 lb) and the 26BHS (730 lb).
- Dry weight, 5,210 lb: seventh-heaviest of seventeen, between the 26BH (4,875 lb) and the 22MLS (5,265 lb).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 25.6%: eighth-largest of sixteen, between the 188BHS (24.6%) and the 20FBS (26.2%).
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 12.9%: shared with the 188BHS; of seventeen, twelve smaller and three larger, nearest the 26RLS (12.7%) and the 26BH (13.2%).
- Exterior height, 10 ft 6 in: shared with the 182RB, 263TH and 26BH; of seventeen, three lower and ten taller, nearest the 231BH (10 ft 5 in) and the 180BHS, 188BHS and two others (10 ft 7 in).
- Grey tank, 39 gal: shared with the 20FBS, 20MB 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, 20MB 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 26BH, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 27BH is 335 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 150 lb higher, has 185 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 25 lb heavier, is 1 ft 1 in longer, has a fresh tank 42 gal larger, has a grey tank 6.5 gal larger, has a black tank 6.5 gal larger and sleeps two more; the two publish the same exterior height.
Next to the 22MLS, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 27BH is 55 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 300 lb higher, has 355 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 170 lb heavier, is 3 ft 2 in longer, stands 8 in lower, has a fresh tank 42 gal larger, has a grey tank 1 gal smaller, has a black tank 1 gal smaller and sleeps eight more.

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 (7,000 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,050 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 27BH
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
4,875 lb UVW and 6,850 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 5,210 lb and 7,000 lb.
5,265 lb UVW and 6,700 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 5,210 lb and 7,000 lb.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 84-gallon fresh tank is about 697 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 39% of the 27BH’s 1,790 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,093 lb (91 lb per rated berth). Across 17 Autumn Ridge floorplans the water share runs 11% to 39%, and this plan’s is the highest. Nearest on that share: Autumn Ridge 173MD at 33%. 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 26BH, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 9 of the 9 fields both publish (this plan first): length 30 ft 7 in vs 29 ft 6 in; sleeps 12 vs 10; dry weight 5,210 lb vs 4,875 lb; GVWR 7,000 lb vs 6,850 lb; cargo capacity 1,790 lb vs 1,975 lb; hitch weight 670 lb vs 645 lb; fresh tank 84 gal vs 42 gal; grey tank 39 gal vs 32.5 gal; black tank 39 gal vs 32.5 gal.

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.
