01 What makes it unique
Starcraft lists the 2025 GSL Travel Trailer 275RLS at 7,350 lb unloaded (UVW), with a GVWR of 8,995 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 1,645 lb and a hitch weight of 985 lb. Its UVW plus its cargo capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 33' 11" long and 11' 3" high with the air conditioner, with 45 gal fresh, 58 gal grey, 29 gal black. Fresh water weighs about 8.3 lb per US gallon, so a full fresh tank uses roughly 374 lb of the cargo capacity before anything else is loaded.
Among the 5 GSL Travel Trailer floorplans Starcraft lists for 2025 with a published weight, it is number 2 by unloaded weight, in a range from 7,320 lb (290RLS) to 8,655 lb (321BHS). 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 GSL Travel Trailer 275RLS, whose title names the model year 2025.
How the 275RLS differs from the other four GSL Travel Trailer floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Cargo capacity, 1,645 lb: largest of five; next is the 290RLS (1,580 lb).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 18.3%: largest of five; next is the 290RLS (17.8%).
- Dry weight, 7,350 lb: second-lightest of five, between the 290RLS (7,320 lb) and the 263KBS (7,560 lb).
- Tongue weight, 985 lb: second-lightest of five, between the 290RLS (960 lb) and the 263KBS (1,029 lb).
- Sleeping capacity, 8: second-largest of five, between the 290RLS (6) and the 321BHS (11).
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 13.4%: third-smallest of five, between the 290RLS (13.1%) and the 263KBS (13.6%).
- Length, 33 ft 11 in: third-shortest of five, between the 290RLS (33 ft 5 in) and the 305FLS (36 ft).
- GVWR, 8,995 lb: shared with the 263KBS; of five, one lower and two higher, nearest the 290RLS (8,900 lb) and the 305FLS (9,300 lb).
Next to the 290RLS, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 275RLS is 30 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 95 lb higher, has 65 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 25 lb heavier, is 6 in longer, stands 1 in taller and sleeps two more; the two publish the same fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.
Next to the 263KBS, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 275RLS is 210 lb lighter by dry weight, has 210 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 44 lb lighter, is 1 ft 7 in longer and sleeps six more; the two publish the same GVWR, exterior 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 (8,995 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,349 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 275RLS
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
7,320 lb UVW and 8,900 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 7,350 lb and 8,995 lb.
7,560 lb UVW and 8,995 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 7,350 lb and 8,995 lb.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 45-gallon fresh tank is about 374 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 23% of the 275RLS’s 1,645 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,272 lb (159 lb per rated berth). Across 5 GSL Travel Trailer floorplans the water share runs 23% to 28%, and this plan’s is the lowest. Nearest on that share: GSL Travel Trailer 290RLS at 24%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).

11 NHTSA safety record
NHTSA holds 1 recall campaign and 1 owner complaint (model years 2005 on) against the GSL 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 electrical system.
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 GSL line page.
