WHAT ONE COSTS
$33,800est. used (2024, 2 yr old)

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK

dry weight 6,316 lb + fresh water (45 gal, full) 375 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb. Brochure dry weight omits water, propane, batteries and your gear; this estimate doesn't.

Tongue weight, loaded~956 lb (13%)
Cargo capacity2,252 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 48 OF 95

Judged the way the app judges: estimated loaded weight against each vehicle's rating less a 10% margin, per model year, because the 24DBS's published weights changed mid-run.

Heartland (Mixed tier): Heartland's mid-tier ultra-lite: Azdel-laminated, aluminum-framed walls and a walkable vacuum-bonded roof put it above the stick-and-tin budget class, but Heartland's uneven QC and dealer service keep it out of the top tier.
