2027 Forest River Airelume325

The Airelume 325 leaves Forest River's factory at 7,813 lbs dry, with a published GVWR of 9,813 lbs and 2,000 lbs of cargo capacity between the two. Cargo capacity is 20% of the loaded rating, and Forest River's own definition is worth reading before you plan against it: cargo capacity is what remains for fresh water, gear, food, batteries and every dealer-installed accessory. Fresh water alone is 8.3 lb per gallon, so filling this trailer's 40-gallon fresh tank spends 332 lbs of that 2,000 lbs before anything else is loaded.

Tongue weight is 1,090 lbs, 14% of the dry weight as published; it rises as the trailer is loaded and counts against the tow vehicle’s tongue-weight and payload limits (tongue weight by size).

Off hookups: 90 gallons of grey and black capacity against 40 gallons of fresh water, so fresh water runs out first (tank sizes by length).

Against the rest of the Airelume roster this is the 11th of 12 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 2,824 lbs to 8,708 lbs. It sits in the heavier third of the line.

Plan the tow on loaded weight, not the 7,813 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 8,813 lbs, and the published GVWR of 9,813 lbs is the limit (how to read trailer weights).

Forest River’s line listing and this floorplan’s own factory page agree on all 4 shared figures. Dry weight plus cargo capacity equals the published GVWR exactly. A missing row means Forest River does not publish that figure (how figures are verified).

Forest River publishes no floorplan description for this plan in the channel this page is built from - only the numeric specification block. Rather than describe a layout from the floorplan code, which would be a guess dressed as a fact, this page carries what the factory publishes and says where it stops. 325 is a Airelume designation and this site does not decode it into a layout claim.

How the 325 differs from the other eleven Airelume floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

• Tongue weight, 1,090 lb: heaviest of twelve; next is the 315 (1,040 lb).
• Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 14%: largest of twelve; next is the 160 (13.8%).
• Dry weight, 7,813 lb: second-heaviest of twelve, between the 285 (7,233 lb) and the 315 (8,708 lb).
• GVWR, 9,813 lb: second-highest of twelve, between the 285 (9,233 lb) and the 315 (10,708 lb).
• Length, 36 ft 11 in: second-longest of twelve, between the 285 (36 ft 10 in) and the 315 (37 ft 2 in).
• Exterior height, 11 ft 4 in: second-tallest of twelve, between the 270 and 285 (11 ft 3 in) and the 315 (11 ft 5 in).
• Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 20.4%: third-smallest of twelve, between the 315 (18.7%) and the 285 (21.7%).
• Grey tank, 60 gal: largest of twelve, level with the 265, 270 and 285; next is the 315 (43 gal).
• Cargo capacity, 2,000 lb: largest of twelve, level with the 232, 260 and three others; next is the 255 (1,972 lb).
• Fresh tank, 40 gal: shared with the 255, 270 and two others; of twelve, six smaller and one larger, nearest the 160, 162 and four others (39 gal) and the 265 (44 gal).

Next to the 285, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 325 is 580 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 580 lb higher, has a tongue weight 195 lb heavier, is 1 in longer and stands 1 in taller; the two publish the same cargo capacity, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Next to the 315, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 325 is 895 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 895 lb lower, has a tongue weight 50 lb heavier, is 3 in shorter, stands 1 in lower and has a grey tank 17 gal larger; the two publish the same cargo capacity, fresh tank and black tank.

Airelume is a wide line for a single grouping: dry weight runs 2,824 lb at the 160 up to 8,708 lb at the 325, so the heaviest plan is more than three times the lightest. Cargo capacity runs 856 to 2,000 lb and tongue weight 325 to 1,090 lb. GVWR runs 3,825 to 10,708 lb. Because every plan publishes a factory GVWR that ties out, the loaded rating on this line is a measured number on every page rather than a reconstruction.

A full 40-gallon fresh tank is about 332 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 17% of the 325’s 2,000 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,668 lb. Across 12 Airelume floorplans the water share runs 16% to 38%, and 6 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Airelume 270 at 17% and Airelume 255 at 17%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
