01 What makes it unique
Starcraft lists the 2025 Super Lite 233ML at 5,880 lb unloaded (UVW), with a GVWR of 7,250 lb, a cargo carrying capacity of 1,370 lb and a hitch weight of 570 lb. Its UVW plus its cargo capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 29' 7" long and 11' 1" 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 7 Super Lite floorplans Starcraft lists for 2025 with a published weight, it is number 4 by unloaded weight, in a range from 4,840 lb (212FB) to 6,215 lb (252RB). 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 Super Lite 233ML, whose title names the model year 2025.
How the 233ML differs from the other six Super Lite floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Cargo capacity, 1,370 lb: smallest of seven; next is the 252RB (1,385 lb).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 18.9%: second-smallest of six, between the 252RB (18.2%) and the 261BH (20.4%).
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 9.7%: second-smallest of seven, between the 225CK (9.5%) and the 212FB (9.9%).
- Dry weight, 5,880 lb: fourth-lightest of seven, between the 225CK (5,120 lb) and the 241BH (5,930 lb).
- GVWR, 7,250 lb: fourth-lowest of seven, between the 225CK (6,600 lb) and the 241BH (7,500 lb).
- Tongue weight, 570 lb: fourth-lightest of seven, between the 189RG (515 lb) and the 241BH (625 lb).
- Length, 29 ft 7 in: fourth-shortest of seven, between the 225CK (27 ft 4 in) and the 241BH (29 ft 8 in).
- Exterior height, 11 ft 1 in: tallest of seven, level with the 225CK and 252RB; next are the 189RG, 212FB and two others (11 ft).
- Grey tank, 58 gal: largest of seven, level with the 241BH and 252RB; next are the 189RG, 212FB and two others (29 gal).
Next to the 225CK, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 233ML is 760 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 650 lb higher, has 110 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 85 lb heavier, is 2 ft 3 in longer and has a grey tank 29 gal larger; the two publish the same exterior height, fresh tank, black tank and sleeping capacity.
Next to the 241BH, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 233ML is 50 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 250 lb lower, has 300 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 55 lb lighter, is 1 in shorter, stands 1 in taller and sleeps two fewer; the two publish the same 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 (7,250 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,088 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 233ML
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
5,120 lb UVW and 6,600 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 5,880 lb and 7,250 lb.
5,930 lb UVW and 7,500 lb GVWR, against this plan’s 5,880 lb and 7,250 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), 27% of the 233ML’s 1,370 lb cargo capacity, leaving 996 lb (166 lb per rated berth). Across 7 Super Lite floorplans the water share runs 22% to 27%, and this plan’s is the highest. Nearest on that share: Super Lite 252RB at 27%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
07 Where this floorplan sits
