01 What makes it unique
The 25MKO is the Avenger built around working away from home. The Forest River factory describes the floorplan as one entry and one slide out with a metal exterior, and an interior of a front bedroom — and calls out washer/dryer prep in a trailer under 30 feet along with a built-in desk, with a spacious kitchen offering bar-style seating for extra counter space, a 12-volt refrigerator and a full pantry. Washer/dryer prep at this length is genuinely unusual, and the desk makes it one of the few value travel trailers set up for remote work out of the box. Prime Time positions it in the entry-level category.
It carries the standard Avenger value build: a powder-coated drop-frame chassis with a Tuff-Coat metal exterior, a PVC roof membrane, a fully enclosed underbelly with a best-in-class pass-through, a Camp King bed, a centrally located outdoor refrigerator, a 10-cubic-foot 12-volt refrigerator, a three-burner cooktop with a glass cover, a built-in convection microwave with an air fryer and factory solar prep. Prime Time publishes a 7,775-pound GVWR against the 5,983-pound dry weight, leaving a 1,792-pound cargo capacity and a 775-pound dry tongue, with a fully ducted 15,000-BTU air conditioner and 42/68/34-gallon fresh/grey/black tanks. Prime Time and Forest River publish no MSRP for the Avenger line, so confirm street pricing with a dealer.

Towing it
Loaded range: 10–15% of GVWR on the tongue, a rule of thumb, not a measurement of this unit. No truck ratings or hitch classes (why; NHTSA, DOT HS 809 433).
03 The Avenger floorplan family
Avenger is Prime Time's high-volume value travel trailer — Tuff-Coat metal-sided, drop-frame half-ton family towables below the laminated Prime Time Tracer, and a cross-shop against Forest River's own Salem / Wildwood and Aurora, Jayco's Jay Flight SLX and Coachmen's Catalina. Six floorplans are profiled in full and linked below; the remaining plans are catalogued and shown muted. The 25MKO on this page is highlighted.
| Floorplan | Nominal | Sleeps | Notable |
|---|---|---|---|
| 22MK | 26 ft | 3 | Published specifications only |
| 23BHS | 28 ft | 5 | Published specifications only |
| 25RBS | 28 ft | 4 | Front bedroom and rear bathroom |
| 25MKO | 29 ft | 3 | Front bedroom · washer/dryer prep, built-in desk |
| 25MKB | 29 ft | 7 | Published specifications only |
| 25BK | 30 ft | 8 | Published specifications only |
| 26DBS | 31 ft | 8 | Bunk beds and front bedroom |
| 27REI | 32 ft | 4 | Published specifications only |
| 30PO | 37 ft | 8 | Bunk beds and front bedroom · triple slide |
Avenger is Prime Time's high-volume value travel trailer — a Tuff-Coat metal-sided, drop-frame half-ton family line below the laminated Prime Time Tracer, and a cross-shop against Forest River's own Salem / Wildwood and Aurora, Jayco's Jay Flight SLX, Keystone's Passport and Coachmen's Catalina. RVUSA files nine 2026 Avenger plans; six floorplans are profiled here in full and the remaining three are catalogued from published specifications below. Every Avenger rides a bumper-pull tandem-axle powder-coated drop-frame chassis with a Tuff-Coat metal exterior, a PVC roof membrane, a fully enclosed underbelly with a best-in-class pass-through, a Camp King bed, a centrally located outdoor refrigerator, a 12-volt refrigerator, a three-burner cooktop with a convection-microwave air fryer and factory solar prep. Tongue weight, GVWR, dry weight and CCC are published per plan and each plan's dry weight plus CCC equals its GVWR exactly. Dry weight is a factory estimate; real loaded tongue weights run higher — always weigh the loaded trailer and confirm against your vehicle's tow rating and payload.
04 Notes on this floorplan
Washer/dryer prep under 30 feet
The factory calls out washer/dryer prep in a trailer under 30 feet — a provision usually reserved for much larger plans. It is a prep, so budget for the appliance.
A built-in desk
The factory lists a built-in desk alongside bar-style kitchen seating — one of the few value travel trailers set up for remote work from the factory.
Solar is prep, not an installed panel
Every Avenger ships with factory solar prep — roof and wiring provisions rather than an installed panel. Its laminated sibling, the Tracer, ships with an installed 200-watt panel instead.
Weigh the loaded trailer
Dry weight is a factory estimate and real loaded tongue weights run above the 775-pound base — weigh the loaded trailer and use a weight-distributing hitch.
05 How it compares
The laminated Tracer 195RB — a construction tier up, with an installed 200-watt solar panel and a 12-volt glass fridge.
Forest River's own Salem / Wildwood — the volume value cross-shop from the sister division.
The 25RBS — a full rear bathroom instead of the desk and laundry provisions.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 42-gallon fresh tank is about 350 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 20% of the 25MKO’s 1,792 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,442 lb (481 lb per rated berth). Across 4 Avenger floorplans the water share runs 13% to 25%, and 2 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Avenger 30PO at 13% and Avenger 25RBS at 20%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
07 Where this floorplan sits
Closest sibling: the Avenger 25RBS, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 6 of the 9 fields both publish (this plan first): length 29 ft 7 in vs 28 ft 11 in; sleeps 3 vs 4; dry weight 5,983 lb vs 5,863 lb; GVWR 7,775 lb vs 7,620 lb; cargo capacity 1,792 lb vs 1,757 lb; dry hitch weight 775 lb vs 620 lb. They match on fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

11 NHTSA safety record
NHTSA holds 9 recall campaigns and 6 owner complaints against the Avenger line. They are counted separately: a recall is a confirmed defect with a remedy, a complaint one owner’s unverified account.
Too few reports to show a pattern. 6 complaints have been filed on this line — not enough to say what fails most often. They cover tires, equipment and structure.
Recall coverage here is not complete, and complaints are owners’ unverified reports (how this record is built). Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Avenger line page.
