2027 Ember Overland 190MSL Specs & Towing
Start with the tow numbers: the 2027 Ember Overland 190MSL
The first question on a single-axle trailer is always the same one. Can your truck pull it, and can it pull it loaded, not empty? This floorplan runs 4,580 pounds dry with a 5,930-pound GVWR, which leaves 1,350 pounds of cargo capacity for everything you add after you sign. Hitch weight is 484 pounds. Overall length is 22.5 feet, width is 8 feet, and height is 10.75 feet, so measure your garage door and your carport before you fall in love.

Those are usable numbers for a half-ton, and in a lot of cases for a well-equipped mid-size truck, but go read the yellow sticker on your own door jamb and the tow rating in your owner's manual rather than taking a salesperson's word for it. Payload is usually the limit people hit first, not tow rating. Add the 484 pounds of tongue weight, your passengers, and whatever rides in the bed, and you'll know quickly whether the truck in your driveway is the right one.
The three numbers to write down: 4,580 pounds dry, 5,930 pounds GVWR and 484 pounds of hitch weight.
The gap between those first two is your 1,350 pounds of cargo, and water weighs roughly 8.3 pounds per gallon, so a full fresh tank spends a real chunk of it.
If your truck's payload sticker clears 484 pounds plus your people and gear, this one works.
Hitching is done through the VersaCoupler height-adjustable bolt-on system, so you set the coupler to your truck rather than shimming a ball mount, and there's an LED hitch light for backing up in the dark. A back-up light is standard on the trailer too. The tongue carries an aluminum gear box for the things you don't want inside the coach.
Underneath is a Trailblazer heavy-duty off-road tube steel chassis riding on CURT trailing-arm independent suspension with heavy-duty coil springs and dual shocks. Tires are nitro-filled 15-inch Hankook Dynapro AT2 Xtreme off-road tires, spare included, and Tire Linc PRO tire pressure monitoring is standard so you're watching pressures from the driver's seat instead of finding out the hard way. Steel fenders and wheel wells handle gravel. Dual-pane acrylic caravan windows with integrated screens and shades come as part of the mandatory window package, and the body is six-sided aluminum frame construction with a powder-coated exoskeleton, laminated Azdel composite walls, roof and end walls, over an Evermore aluminum-framed composite floor with Alumaduct heating ducted through it.
Power and tanks: how long you can sit still
Fresh water is 43 gallons, grey is 35 gallons and black is 35 gallons, with a 40-pound LP capacity. The fresh tank is an AC tank, which matters in a Utah October.
The electrical side is the reason people shop this line. The MAX SOLAR package brings 1,200 watts of rooftop solar, a 3,000-watt Victron inverter and 270 amp hours of LiFePO4 lithium. Three Victron Bluetooth MPPT controllers manage the array, a REDARC DC to DC charger tops the battery off while you drive, and there are PV and cold weather disconnects plus slide and roofing solar ports.
Climate and hot water run through a Truma Combi Comfort Plus 20,400 BTU water heater and furnace, cold weather certified to the Gold Standard. The EmberLink smart RV control system puts tank levels, lighting and systems on one panel.
Sleeping eight in 22.5 feet
The sleeping count is 8, and it works because nothing is single-purpose. A residential queen 60" x 80" Murphy bed folds up over a jack-knife sofa, so the same square footage is a bedroom at night and a living room at ten in the morning. The repositionable EmberTrack E-Track bunk system lets you move or remove bunks depending on who came along this trip, or pull them and use the wall for cargo instead.
The dinette gives you a place to eat and work that isn't the sofa.
Exterior storage is the kind you can load a bin into without crawling, and with 1,350 pounds of cargo capacity you have the weight budget to actually fill it. MORryde StepAbove composite steps with a Safe-T Rail entry handle make getting in steady, and high-visibility LED exterior lighting covers the walk around at night.
The walk-through
Solid surface countertops with stainless steel sinks run in both the kitchen and the bath. Cabinet doors are soft-close hardwood maple with hidden hinges and magnetic latches, which is a detail you notice after a washboard road. There's a residential refrigerator, so you're not planning meals around a bar fridge.
Entertainment is a Sky LED HDTV with a built-in Bluetooth AV system. A fire extinguisher is standard. Outside, the 14-foot electric awning has a dimmable LED light underneath it.
The bath has its own solid surface counter and stainless sink, with a shower sized for a trailer this length.
For a lightweight travel trailer, this one earns the "off-grid" label with hardware rather than marketing. If you've been looking at a small travel trailer that can leave pavement, a new travel trailer with 1,200 watts on the roof and 270 amp hours of lithium under the floor covers a long weekend at Capitol Reef without a generator. We see a lot of buyers cross-shopping a travel trailer for sale in Salt Lake City, Utah against bigger tandem-axle units, then come back to the single axle once they total up their truck's payload.
Check the live listing for the complete spec sheet on the unit you're looking at, then come to Millcreek and back your truck up to one. We'll put it on your ball, check the level and your tongue weight, and you'll know in ten minutes whether it's the right travel trailer for sale in Utah for your setup.
Frequently asked questions
What truck do I need to tow this floorplan?
Match it against your own truck's numbers: 4,580 pounds dry, 5,930 pounds GVWR and 484 pounds of hitch weight. Compare that to the tow rating and the payload figure on your door jamb sticker, since payload is usually the tighter of the two.
How long can it go without hookups?
It carries 43 gallons of fresh water, 35 gallons grey and 35 gallons black, with 40 pounds of LP. Power comes from 1,200 watts of rooftop solar, 270 amp hours of lithium and a 3,000-watt Victron inverter, plus a REDARC DC to DC charger that recharges while you tow.
How many people does it sleep?
Eight. A residential queen 60" x 80" Murphy bed over a jack-knife sofa handles the adults, and the repositionable EmberTrack E-Track bunk system handles the rest or converts to cargo space.
Will it fit in my garage?
It's 22.5 feet long, 8 feet wide and 10.75 feet tall, so measure your door height first. The height is the number that catches most people.
Is it set up for cold weather?
The Truma Combi Comfort Plus 20,400 BTU water heater and furnace is Gold Standard cold weather certified, the floor has integrated Alumaduct heating, the fresh tank is an AC tank, and the windows are dual-pane acrylic with integrated thermal shades and screens.
