01 What makes it unique
The 32RLTS gives the back wall of the coach to the living room: a rear lounge flanked by two of the three slides, power theater seating fitted standard (the only base Aurora where it is), a kitchen island amidships with the free-standing dinette option, and a private walk-around queen forward. Dual 10-foot and 13-foot awnings extend the party outside, and washer/dryer prep with the stackable option makes it a plausible long-stay coach.
The build is the standard wide-body package — Norco electromagnetic powder-coated chassis, metal siding under the seamless lifetime-warranty membrane roof, enclosed sealed underbelly, solid-surface counters, 15,000-BTU GE ducted heat pump, 35,000-BTU furnace, GE tankless water heater, 10.7-cubic-foot 12-volt refrigerator. The factory prints a 10,342-pound GVWR; 8,842 UVW plus 1,500 CCC equals it exactly.
Two numbers deserve attention: the 1,500-pound cargo margin is the tightest of the profiled base plans, and the 33-gallon grey tank — the smallest in the wide-body family — will be the boondocking limit long before the fresh tank is. On full hookups neither matters; off-grid, both do.

03 Aurora floorplan family
Forest River's Aurora line — the 96-inch wide-body tier of the value family: twelve 2026 tandem-axle floorplans from a 29-foot-9 rear-bath couples plan to a 37-foot-10 triple-slide flagship bunkhouse, every one on the Norco electromagnetic powder-coated chassis with a 15,000-BTU GE ducted heat-pump air conditioner, solid-surface counters and a GE 60,000-BTU tankless water heater standard. Six plans are profiled in depth; the full roster including catalogued plans lives on the Aurora hub with verified weights.
| Floorplan | Nominal | Sleeps | Notable |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24RBS | 30 ft | 3 | Entry rear bath — couples plan, 21-ft awning, outside kitchen |
| 26FKDS | 29 ft | 3 | Front-kitchen dual-entry couples plan — catalogued on the hub |
| 28BHS | 32 ft | 8 | Dual-entry bunkhouse — catalogued on the hub |
| 27DBH | 33 ft | 8 | Double-bunk family plan — dual entry, the volume seller |
| 29QBS | 34 ft | 7 | Bunkhouse with bunkroom sofa — catalogued on the hub |
| 32RLTS | 36 ft | 3 | Rear-lounge entertainer — triple slide, power theater standard |
| 29TQS | 36 ft | 8 | Triple-queen sleeper — three full-size beds, sleeps 8 |
| 32BDS | 36 ft | 8 | Dual-entry bunkhouse, full camp kitchen — catalogued on the hub |
| 31KDS | 36 ft | 3 | Rear-kitchen dual-slide, 10,000-lb GVWR — catalogued on the hub |
| 32MAZE | 37 ft | 4 | Adaptable triple-slide — rear island kitchen, dual awnings |
| 34BHTS | 38 ft | 6 | Flagship bunkhouse — triple slide, full camp kitchen; 2-Queen variant |
Every base Aurora is a tandem-axle 96-inch wide-body on the Norco electromagnetic powder-coated chassis. This is a published-GVWR-clean line: on every plan the factory detail page prints a GVWR, and the published UVW plus CCC sums to it exactly, with no derivation. Forest River publishes no per-plan axle ratings and no MSRP for the line; sleeps counts are RVUSA catalog fields, and RVUSA's weight records lag the current factory figures on several plans — a logged conflict, resolved to the factory detail pages throughout. Always confirm against the unit's weight sticker before towing.
04 What owners & reviewers report
Power theater is standard here
The factory options list makes power theater seating standard on the 32RLTS specifically — an upcharge everywhere else in the family.
The 33-gallon grey tank is the constraint
Smallest grey tank in the wide-body family against a full-service kitchen and lounge — fine on hookups, the limiting factor off-grid.
Tightest profiled payload
1,500 pounds of cargo margin at 8,842 dry — load deliberately and weigh loaded.
RVUSA record stale
RVUSA shows 8,321 dry / 11,238 GVWR; the current factory page prints 8,842 / 10,342. Factory used, conflict logged. No MSRP is published.
05 How it compares
The adaptable triple-slide — a rear island kitchen and reconfigurable mid-room on a 344-pound-higher GVWR.
The entry couples plan — 2,374 pounds lighter on one slide, trading the lounge and island for easy half-ton towing.
The value rear-living field — the 32RLTS counter is standard theater seating, dual awnings and the tankless water heater.
