01 What makes it unique

Starcraft lists the 2019 Launch Outfitter 27BHU at 6,185 lb dry, a GVWR of 7,750 lb, a net carrying capacity of 1,565 lb and a tongue weight of 555 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.

It is 129" high. Starcraft prints its tanks as 48 gal fresh, 62 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 5 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 27BHU differs from the other six Launch Outfitter floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

  • Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 9%: smallest of seven; next is the 21FBS (9.1%).
  • Dry weight, 6,185 lb: third-heaviest of seven, between the 24ODK (5,550 lb) and the 283BH (6,390 lb).
  • GVWR, 7,750 lb: third-highest of seven, between the 24ODK (7,250 lb) and the 283BH (8,500 lb).
  • Tongue weight, 555 lb: third-lightest of seven, between the 20BHS (455 lb) and the 24RLS (595 lb).
  • Exterior height, 10 ft 9 in: third-tallest of seven, between the 24ODK and 24RLS (10 ft 8 in) and the 283BH (10 ft 11 in).
  • Cargo capacity, 1,565 lb: fourth-smallest of seven, between the 31BHS (1,300 lb) and the 24ODK (1,700 lb).
  • Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 20.2%: fourth-smallest of seven, between the 20BHS (19.1%) and the 24ODK (23.4%).
  • Grey tank, 62 gal: largest of seven, level with the 283BH and 31BHS; next are the 20BHS, 21FBS and two others (31 gal).

Next to the 24ODK, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 27BHU is 635 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 500 lb higher, has 135 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 100 lb lighter, stands 1 in taller and has a grey tank 31 gal larger; the two publish the same interior height, fresh tank and black tank.

Next to the 283BH, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 27BHU is 205 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 750 lb lower, has 545 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 55 lb lighter and stands 2 in lower; the two publish the same interior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Towing it

Tow rating needed7,750 lb
Published tongue weight555 lb
Loaded tongue weight, rule of thumb775–1,162 lb
Receiver hitch rating needed7,750 lb towed / 1,162 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 (7,750 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,162 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 27BHU

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.
