01 What makes it unique

Starcraft lists the 2019 Autumn Ridge Outfitter 282BH at 6,445 lb dry, a GVWR of 8,500 lb, a net carrying capacity of 2,055 lb and a tongue weight of 595 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.

It is 134" 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 9 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 282BH differs from the other nine Autumn Ridge Outfitter floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

  • Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 9.2%: smallest of ten; next is the 20FBS (10%).
  • Dry weight, 6,445 lb: second-heaviest of ten, between the 27BHS (6,275 lb) and the 27RLI (7,330 lb).
  • Cargo capacity, 2,055 lb: second-largest of ten, between the 24BHS (1,885 lb) and the 27BHS (2,225 lb).
  • Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 24.2%: fourth-smallest of nine, between the 26BHS (23.1%) and the 24BHS (24.6%).
  • Tongue weight, 595 lb: fifth-lightest of ten, between the 21RBS (575 lb) and the 23RLS (650 lb).
  • Exterior height, 11 ft 2 in: tallest of nine, level with the 27BHS; next are the 26BHS and 27RLI (11 ft 1 in).
  • Grey tank, 64 gal: largest of ten, level with the 21RBS; next is the 27RLI (40 gal).
  • GVWR, 8,500 lb: shared with the 27BHS; of ten, seven lower and one higher, nearest the 24BHS (7,650 lb) and the 27RLI (8,995 lb).

Next to the 27BHS, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 282BH is 170 lb heavier by dry weight, has 170 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 155 lb lighter and has a grey tank 32 gal larger; the two publish the same GVWR, exterior height, interior height, fresh tank and black tank.

Next to the 27RLI, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 282BH is 885 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 495 lb lower, has 390 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 490 lb lighter, stands 1 in taller and has a grey tank 24 gal larger; the two publish the same interior height, fresh tank and black tank.

Towing it

Published tongue weight595 lb
Loaded tongue weight, rule of thumb850–1,275 lb
Receiver hitch rating needed8,500 lb towed / 1,275 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 (8,500 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,275 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 282BH

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.

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.
