01 What makes it unique
Starcraft lists the 2019 Autumn Ridge Outfitter 26BHS at 5,770 lb dry, a GVWR of 7,500 lb, a net carrying capacity of 1,730 lb and a tongue weight of 765 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 133" 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 7 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 26BHS differs from the other nine Autumn Ridge Outfitter floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 23.1%: third-smallest of nine, between the 23RLS (21.7%) and the 282BH (24.2%).
- Tongue weight, 765 lb: third-heaviest of ten, between the 27BHS (750 lb) and the 24BHS (780 lb).
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 13.3%: third-largest of ten, between the 21FB (12.7%) and the 24BHS (13.5%).
- Dry weight, 5,770 lb: fourth-heaviest of ten, between the 24BHS (5,765 lb) and the 27BHS (6,275 lb).
- GVWR, 7,500 lb: fifth-highest of ten, between the 21RBS (7,200 lb) and the 24BHS (7,650 lb).
- Cargo capacity, 1,730 lb: fifth-smallest of ten, between the 21FB (1,715 lb) and the 20FBS (1,795 lb).
- Exterior height, 11 ft 1 in: shared with the 27RLI; of nine, five lower and two taller, nearest the 21RBS and 23RLS (11 ft) and the 27BHS and 282BH (11 ft 2 in).
Next to the 24BHS, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 26BHS is 5 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 150 lb lower, has 155 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 15 lb lighter and stands 2 in taller; the two publish the same interior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.
Next to the 27BHS, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 26BHS is 505 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 1,000 lb lower, has 495 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 15 lb heavier and stands 1 in lower; the two publish the same 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 (7,500 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,125 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). The range starts at the published figure, because loaded is never lighter than that.

04 Notes on this floorplan
What Starcraft does not publish for the Autumn Ridge Outfitter 26BHS
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
5,765 lb dry and 7,650 lb GVWR, against this model’s 5,770 lb and 7,500 lb.
6,275 lb dry and 8,500 lb GVWR, against this model’s 5,770 lb and 7,500 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 26BHS’s 1,730 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,332 lb. Across 10 Autumn Ridge Outfitter floorplans the water share runs 18% to 26%, and 4 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Autumn Ridge Outfitter 20FBS at 22% and Autumn Ridge Outfitter 21FB at 23%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
