01 What makes it unique

Starcraft lists the 2019 Autumn Ridge Outfitter 21RBS at 5,330 lb dry, a GVWR of 7,200 lb, a net carrying capacity of 1,670 lb and a tongue weight of 575 lb. Starcraft’s own figures do not add up — a conflict, stated not resolved: 5,330 lb dry plus 1,670 lb carrying capacity is 7,000 lb, against a printed GVWR of 7,200 lb. All three are shown as Starcraft prints them and none is corrected; the federal label on the trailer is the one to trust.

It is 132" high. Starcraft prints its tanks as 48 gal fresh, 64 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 4 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 21RBS differs from the other nine Autumn Ridge Outfitter floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

  • Cargo capacity, 1,670 lb: third-smallest of ten, between the 27RLI (1,665 lb) and the 21FB (1,715 lb).
  • Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 10.8%: third-smallest of ten, between the 20FBS (10%) and the 23RLS (11.9%).
  • Dry weight, 5,330 lb: fourth-lightest of ten, between the 26BH (4,650 lb) and the 23RLS (5,445 lb).
  • Tongue weight, 575 lb: fourth-lightest of ten, between the 26BH (570 lb) and the 282BH (595 lb).
  • GVWR, 7,200 lb: fifth-lowest of ten, between the 23RLS (6,950 lb) and the 26BHS (7,500 lb).
  • Grey tank, 64 gal: largest of ten, level with the 282BH; next is the 27RLI (40 gal).
  • Exterior height, 11 ft: shared with the 23RLS; of nine, three lower and four taller, nearest the 24BHS (10 ft 11 in) and the 26BHS and 27RLI (11 ft 1 in).

Next to the 26BH, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 21RBS is 680 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 700 lb higher, has 180 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 5 lb heavier, stands 6 in taller and has a grey tank 32 gal larger; the two publish the same interior height, fresh tank and black tank.

Next to the 23RLS, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 21RBS is 115 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 250 lb higher, has 165 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 75 lb lighter and has a grey tank 32 gal larger; the two publish the same exterior height, interior height, fresh tank and black tank.

Source conflict, shown not resolved. Published dry weight plus cargo capacity is 7,000 lbs; the published GVWR is 7,200 lbs. The bar is drawn to the larger so the gap shows. Treat the GVWR as the ceiling. All such plans: published figures that disagree.

Towing it

Tow rating needed7,200 lb
Published tongue weight575 lb
Loaded tongue weight, rule of thumb720–1,080 lb
Receiver hitch rating needed7,200 lb towed / 1,080 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 (7,200 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,080 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern. This floorplan’s published dry weight plus cargo capacity comes to 7,000 lb, which is not its published GVWR; the check uses the published GVWR.

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 21RBS

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

Lighter

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), 24% of the Autumn Ridge Outfitter 21RBS’s 1,670 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,272 lb. Across 10 Autumn Ridge Outfitter floorplans the water share runs 18% to 26%, and 2 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Autumn Ridge Outfitter 21FB at 23% and Autumn Ridge Outfitter 27RLI at 24%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).

09 What this page publishes, and what it does not

11 of the 18 fields this catalogue tracks are published for the Autumn Ridge Outfitter 21RBS. Not published: exterior length, sleeps, slide count, axle count, tire specification, refrigerator, air conditioning.

Sourcing rules: methodology.

11 NHTSA safety record

NHTSA holds 5 recall campaigns and 1 owner complaint (model years 2005 on) against the Autumn Ridge Outfitter line (a recall and a complaint are not the same thing).

Too few reports to show a pattern. 1 complaint has been filed on this line — not enough to say what fails most often. It covers equipment.

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 Outfitter line page.
