01 What makes it unique
Starcraft lists the 2019 Autumn Ridge Outfitter 21FB at 4,285 lb dry, a GVWR of 6,000 lb, a net carrying capacity of 1,715 lb and a tongue weight of 545 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 126" high. Starcraft prints its tanks as 48 gal fresh, 32 gal grey, 32 gal black.
Among the 10 Autumn Ridge Outfitter floorplans Starcraft’s Autumn Ridge Outfitter brochure (filed under 2019 on Starcraft’s own site; the brochure prints no year) lists with a published dry weight, it is number 2 from the lightest, in a range from 4,205 lb (Autumn Ridge Outfitter 20FBS) to 7,330 lb (Autumn Ridge Outfitter 27RLI). 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 Autumn Ridge Outfitter brochure (filed under 2019 on Starcraft’s own site; the brochure prints no year); model year 2019 comes from where the maker files it on its own site, not from the document’s text.
How the 21FB differs from the other nine Autumn Ridge Outfitter floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Dry weight, 4,285 lb: second-lightest of ten, between the 20FBS (4,205 lb) and the 26BH (4,650 lb).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 28.6%: second-largest of nine, between the 26BH (28.5%) and the 20FBS (29.9%).
- Tongue weight, 545 lb: second-lightest of ten, between the 20FBS (420 lb) and the 26BH (570 lb).
- Cargo capacity, 1,715 lb: fourth-smallest of ten, between the 21RBS (1,670 lb) and the 26BHS (1,730 lb).
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 12.7%: fourth-largest of ten, between the 26BH (12.3%) and the 26BHS (13.3%).
- GVWR, 6,000 lb: lowest of ten, level with the 20FBS; next is the 26BH (6,500 lb).
- Exterior height, 10 ft 6 in: lowest of nine, level with the 26BH; next is the 24BHS (10 ft 11 in).
Next to the 20FBS, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 21FB is 80 lb heavier by dry weight, has 80 lb less cargo capacity and has a tongue weight 125 lb heavier; the two publish the same GVWR, interior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.
Next to the 26BH, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 21FB is 365 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 500 lb lower, has 135 lb less cargo capacity and has a tongue weight 25 lb lighter; the two publish the same exterior height, interior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

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 Autumn Ridge Outfitter 21FB
Starcraft prints no tire size, sleeping capacity for this model, so none is given. Nothing is filled from a sibling model, 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
4,205 lb dry and 6,000 lb GVWR, against this model’s 4,285 lb and 6,000 lb.
4,650 lb dry and 6,500 lb GVWR, against this model’s 4,285 lb and 6,000 lb.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 48-gallon fresh tank is about 398 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 23% of the Autumn Ridge Outfitter 21FB’s 1,715 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,317 lb. Across 10 Autumn Ridge Outfitter floorplans the water share runs 18% to 26%, and 3 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Autumn Ridge Outfitter 26BHS at 23% and Autumn Ridge Outfitter 21RBS at 24%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
