01 What makes it unique
Starcraft lists the 2019 Launch Outfitter 24RLS at 5,230 lb dry, a GVWR of 6,950 lb, a net carrying capacity of 1,720 lb and a tongue weight of 595 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 128" high. Starcraft prints its tanks as 48 gal fresh, 31 gal grey, 31 gal black.
Among the 7 Launch Outfitter floorplans Starcraft’s Launch Outfitter brochure (filed under 2019 on Starcraft’s own site; the brochure prints no year) lists with a published dry weight, it is number 3 from the lightest, in a range from 4,070 lb (Launch Outfitter 21FBS) to 7,550 lb (Launch Outfitter 31BHS). 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 Launch 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 24RLS differs from the other six Launch Outfitter floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Cargo capacity, 1,720 lb: second-largest of seven, between the 24ODK (1,700 lb) and the 283BH (2,110 lb).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 24.7%: second-largest of seven, between the 24ODK (23.4%) and the 283BH (24.8%).
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 11.4%: second-largest of seven, between the 31BHS (11.1%) and the 24ODK (11.8%).
- Dry weight, 5,230 lb: third-lightest of seven, between the 20BHS (4,695 lb) and the 24ODK (5,550 lb).
- GVWR, 6,950 lb: third-lowest of seven, between the 20BHS (5,800 lb) and the 24ODK (7,250 lb).
- Tongue weight, 595 lb: fourth-lightest of seven, between the 27BHU (555 lb) and the 283BH (610 lb).
- Exterior height, 10 ft 8 in: shared with the 24ODK; of seven, two lower and three taller, nearest the 20BHS and 21FBS (10 ft 3 in) and the 27BHU (10 ft 9 in).
Next to the 20BHS, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 24RLS is 535 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 1,150 lb higher, has 615 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 140 lb heavier and stands 5 in taller; the two publish the same interior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.
Next to the 24ODK, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 24RLS is 320 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 300 lb lower, has 20 lb more cargo capacity and has a tongue weight 60 lb lighter; the two publish the same exterior height, 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 (6,950 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,042 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 Launch Outfitter 24RLS
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
4,695 lb dry and 5,800 lb GVWR, against this model’s 5,230 lb and 6,950 lb.
5,550 lb dry and 7,250 lb GVWR, against this model’s 5,230 lb and 6,950 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 Launch Outfitter 24RLS’s 1,720 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,322 lb. Across 7 Launch Outfitter floorplans the water share runs 19% to 43%, and 5 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Launch Outfitter 283BH at 19% and Launch Outfitter 24ODK at 23%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
