01 What makes it unique
Alliance RV lists the 2027 Valor 40A14 at 13,982 lb dry, a GVWR of 18,000 lb and a pin weight of 2,873 lb. Alliance RV prints no cargo carrying capacity for it, so none is given here; the federal label inside the trailer carries one.
It is 43' 11" long. Alliance RV prints its tanks as 93 gal fresh, 106 gal grey, 106 gal black.
Among the 12 Valor floorplans Alliance RV lists for 2027 with a published dry weight, it is number 7 from the lightest, in a range from 7,489 lb (Valor 23T15) to 15,982 lb (Valor 4216). Every figure in that comparison is Alliance RV’s, for the same model year.
Every number on this page was read on 5 Nov 2026 from Alliance RV’s 2027 Valor brochure, the maker’s own dated document for model year 2027.
How the 40A14 differs from the other eight Valor fifth wheels. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Fresh tank, 93 gal: smallest of eight; next are the 32A10, 35A14 and five others (98 gal).
- Pin weight, 2,873 lb: third-lightest of nine, between the 36A10 (2,703 lb) and the 35A14 (2,912 lb).
- Dry weight, 13,982 lb: fourth-lightest of nine, between the 36A10 (13,668 lb) and the 36V11 (14,281 lb).
- Length, 43 ft 11 in: fourth-longest of nine, between the 37V11 (40 ft 11 in) and the 41V13, 4216 and 44V14 (45 ft 11 in).
- Black tank, 106 gal: largest of eight, level with the 36V11 and 44V14; next are the 32A10, 35A14 and three others (93 gal).
- Pin weight as a share of dry weight, 20.5%: shared with the 44V14; of nine, five smaller and two larger, nearest the 37V11 (20.4%) and the 36V11 (21%).
- GVWR, 18,000 lb: shared with the 36V11 and 37V11; of nine, three lower and three higher, nearest the 32A10, 35A14 and 36A10 (16,800 lb) and the 41V13, 4216 and 44V14 (21,000 lb).
Next to the 36A10, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 40A14 is 314 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 1,200 lb higher, has a pin weight 170 lb heavier and is 4 ft longer.
Next to the 36V11, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 40A14 is 299 lb lighter by dry weight, has a pin weight 122 lb lighter, is 4 ft 4 in longer and has a fresh tank 5 gal smaller; the two publish the same GVWR, 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 (18,000 lb) and the upper loaded pin estimate (4,500 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern.
Loaded range: 15–25% of GVWR on the pin, a rule of thumb, not a measurement of this unit. No truck ratings or hitch classes (why; NHTSA, DOT HS 809 433). The range starts at the published figure, because loaded is never lighter than that.

04 Notes on this floorplan
What Alliance RV does not publish for the Valor 40A14
Alliance RV prints no cargo carrying capacity, tire size, interior height, 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
13,668 lb dry and 16,800 lb GVWR, against this model’s 13,982 lb and 18,000 lb.
14,281 lb dry and 18,000 lb GVWR, against this model’s 13,982 lb and 18,000 lb.

11 NHTSA safety record
NHTSA holds 8 recall campaigns and 9 owner complaints (model years 2005 on) against the Valor line (a recall and a complaint are not the same thing).
Too few reports to show a pattern. 9 complaints have been filed on this line — not enough to say what fails most often. They cover unknown or other, electrical system, suspension, equipment and structure.
Recall coverage here is not complete, and complaints are owners’ unverified reports (how this record is built). Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Valor line page.
