Starcraft Super Lite Maxx — 2024 Floorplans, Specs & Weights

01 What Starcraft publishes for the Super Lite Maxx

Starcraft RV lists 4 Super Lite Maxx travel trailers in its 2024 Super Lite Maxx brochure. Starcraft prints a dry weight for every one profiled here, and each has a page of its own. It prints a GVWR for every one too. It prints a net carrying capacity for 4; on the 4 that carry both that and a GVWR, the dry weight plus the carrying capacity equals the GVWR exactly on 4. (How the data is verified.)

Read from Starcraft’s 2024 Super Lite Maxx brochure, 6 Nov 2026. “Not published” means the maker prints no figure; nothing is filled from another model, year or dealer.

03 Reading Starcraft’s figures

A maker’s published weight is for a base trailer; options and dealer-installed equipment add weight to any particular unit. The federal weight label inside the trailer carries its own unloaded weight, cargo carrying capacity and GVWR (49 CFR 567 and 571.120): read it on the unit itself before any towing decision.

05 Recalls

NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns affecting this line. The earliest was reported 5 May 2022 and the most recent 30 Sep 2026.

Reported	Campaign	Component	What can go wrong
30 Sep 2026	26V626000	Equipment	A detached tank can become a road hazard for other vehicles, increasing the risk of a crash.
3 Aug 2023	23V547000	Structure	The lack of a secondary escape exit can prevent or delay occupants from exiting, increasing their risk of injury during an emergency.
4 Aug 2022	22V572000	Structure	An awning that drops or extends beyond normal operation can increase the risk of injury.
5 May 2022	22V302000	Equipment	A gas leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.

Coverage is not complete: this list is a starting point, not a clearance (how it is built), so check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy and again before you tow.

This count covers campaigns NHTSA files under the Super Lite Maxx name only; campaigns filed under the plain Super Lite name count on the Starcraft Super Lite page, and a campaign that names both counts on each.

How this count is drawn. A report is counted here only when NHTSA’s own model field names this line. What the owner typed in the description is never used to attribute a report: our line names are ordinary English words, and an owner writing “imagine my surprise when the axle went” or naming the state of Montana is not reporting a Grand Design Imagine or a Keystone Montana.

Read these as reports, not as findings. Complaints are submitted by owners and NHTSA does not verify them; no complaint here has been confirmed as a defect, and none of them is a recall. The sample is also self-selected — only owners motivated to file appear in it — so a high count tracks how many units a line sold at least as much as how well it was built. Use the pattern, not the total: a component that keeps recurring is worth inspecting on any used unit. File or search complaints at NHTSA.

What reviewers say

Independent reviews of this line, summarised in this site’s own words and linked to the original. Each says whether the reviewer actually towed or inspected the trailer. Reviews are opinions about the year and floorplan they looked at; every figure on this site still comes only from the maker’s own documents.

Not a hands-on test: written from the maker’s information and the reviewer’s own research.

Tony Barthel says this Super Lite Maxx packs a lot into a small package and could be a great little off-grid or adventure trailer, citing a 55-gallon fresh tank, a shower curtain, a big under-bed cubby and no floor vents. He expects the east-west bed may be awkward to get in and out of, and notes Luan rather than Azdel.
