Highland Ridge Open Range Light 296BHS
Sticker was $66,609 in 2024. Out of production since 2024, so the used market is the only way to buy one. Estimate assumes a 2024 unit.
dry weight 7,275 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.
Judged the way the app judges: estimated loaded weight against each vehicle's rating less a 10% margin, per model year, because the 296BHS's published weights changed mid-run.

Findable: a few listed nationwide most weeks. Why: Highland Ridge is a volume manufacturer; only 2 model years. Estimated from build volume and production span, not a count of live listings.
Queen-over-queen rear bunks plus a front king - the most bed for the money in the Light line, but only 29 gal of grey.
