01 What makes it unique
Starcraft lists the 2025 GSL Fifth Wheel 354MBH at 11,310 lb unloaded (UVW), with a GVWR of 13,500 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 2,190 lb and a pin weight of 2,245 lb. Its UVW plus its cargo capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 39' 1" long and 12' 6" high with the air conditioner, with 75 gal fresh, 97 gal grey, 40 gal black. Fresh water weighs about 8.3 lb per US gallon, so a full fresh tank uses roughly 622 lb of the cargo capacity before anything else is loaded.
Among the 2 GSL Fifth Wheel floorplans Starcraft lists for 2025 with a published weight, it is number 2 by unloaded weight, in a range from 9,735 lb (264RLS) to 11,310 lb (354MBH). 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 Fifth Wheel 354MBH, whose title names the model year 2025.
How the 354MBH differs from the other GSL Fifth Wheel floorplan. How these ranks are worked out.

How these published figures sit against the rest of the catalogue: fifth wheel pin weight and payload; fresh, grey and black tank sizes; camper trailer size chart.
Federal tire recalls naming this size. NHTSA’s recall file names ST235/80R16 in one tire recall: 21T018000 (Sailun Tire Americas, Inc., 2021; make SAILUN; models BLACKHAWK, BLACKLION, IRONHEAD, ROADX, SAILUN). A tire recall covers only the brands, lines and DOT date codes it lists, and this page does not know which brand of tire this trailer was built with, so read the brand and DOT code on your own sidewalls before relying on this list. Only 242 of NHTSA’s 788 tire recalls name a size in their summary, so a size with no match is not a clean record (NHTSA recall file, read 12 Oct 2026).

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 (13,500 lb) and the upper loaded pin estimate (3,375 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern.
Loaded range: 15–25% of GVWR on the pin, 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.
03 The GSL Fifth Wheel floorplan family
Starcraft lists 2 GSL Fifth Wheel floorplans for 2025; this site profiles every one with a published weight, from Starcraft’s own floorplan pages.
Starcraft lists 2 GSL Fifth Wheel floorplans. Every 2025 plan with a published weight has a page here; the rest are catalogued with the reason against each.
04 Notes on this floorplan
What Starcraft does not publish for the 354MBH
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
9,735 lb UVW and 11,800 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 11,310 lb and 13,500 lb.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 75-gallon fresh tank is about 622 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.2), 28% of the 354MBH’s 2,190 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,568 lb (224 lb per rated berth). Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).

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.
