2027 Grand Design Transcend245RLT

Grand Design publishes an unloaded vehicle weight (UVW) of 6,456 lb and a GVWR of 7,695 lb for the 2027 Transcend 245RLT, with a hitch weight of 668 lb. It does not publish a cargo carrying capacity on the floorplan page, so none is shown here, and none is worked out by subtracting one published figure from the other. The trailer’s own federal weight label, inside the door, carries its cargo capacity as built.

It is 30' 8" long, 11' high and 8' wide, with 56 gal fresh, 78 gal grey and 39 gal black tanks as Grand Design lists them. Fresh water weighs about 8.3 lb per US gallon, so a full fresh tank adds roughly 465 lb before anything else is loaded.

Among the 8 Transcend floorplans profiled from Grand Design’s 2027 pages, it is number 2 of 8 by unloaded weight, in a range from 6,327 lb to 9,400 lb. Every figure in that comparison comes from the same Grand Design page type for the same model year.

Every number on this page was read on 4 Nov 2026 from Grand Design’s own floorplan page for the Transcend 245RLT, whose structured data names the model year 2027.

How the 245RLT differs from the other seven Transcend floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

• Sleeping capacity, 6: shared with the 345DQT; of eight, two smaller and four larger, nearest the 315RKT (4) and the 265BHT (8).
