01 What makes it unique

The Prime Time Avenger 28QBS leaves Forest River's factory at 7,253 lbs dry with 2,427 lbs of cargo capacity. Forest River publishes no GVWR for this line, so the loaded rating is not quoted on this page and is not computed from the other two figures. What the cargo number covers is defined by the factory: fresh water, gear, food, batteries and every dealer-installed accessory come out of it. Fresh water is 8.3 lb per gallon, so filling the 42-gallon fresh tank spends 349 lbs of the 2,427 lbs before anything else goes in.

Dry tongue weight is 880 lbs, or 12% of the dry weight. Ten to fifteen percent is the conventional band for a bumper-pull trailer, and this plan sits inside it as published. Tongue weight is not fixed: it moves with how the trailer is loaded, and weight added ahead of the axles raises it. A weight-distribution hitch is the normal fitment at this tongue load, and the tow vehicle's tongue-weight limit is a separate number from its trailer-weight limit.

Tank capacities are 42 gallons fresh, 68 grey and 34 black, 102 gallons of waste capacity against 42 gallons of supply. The ratio is what governs how long the trailer can sit off hookups: waste capacity exceeds fresh, so the fresh tank is the binding constraint and refilling extends the stay. Forest River publishes these three figures per floorplan, and they are the factory's numbers rather than a segment average.

Against the rest of the Prime Time Avenger roster this is the 13th of 14 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 2,534 lbs to 8,483 lbs. It sits in the heavier third of the line. Comparing floorplans inside one line is more reliable than comparing across brands, because every figure here comes from the same factory channel on the same day.

A useful way to read these figures is to stop planning against the dry weight. Nobody tows a trailer at 7,253 lbs: that is the weight before water, batteries, propane, bedding, food, tools and anything the dealer bolted on. Load half the published cargo capacity and this plan is already near 8,467 lbs on the road. Because Forest River publishes no loaded rating for this line, the ceiling has to come from the trailer's own weight label rather than from this page, and the comparison you make against the tow vehicle should use the loaded figure.

Every number above was captured twice from Forest River and checked against itself before it was published. The line roster block and the individual floorplan page are two separate factory renderings of the same trailer, and this plan's 4 shared figures agree exactly on both. There is no published GVWR on this line, so the usual arithmetic check - dry plus cargo equals the rating - has nothing to test against here. Where a figure is missing from this page it is because Forest River does not publish it in this channel, not because it was hard to find - and the row says so rather than being quietly dropped.

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. 28QBS is a Prime Time Avenger designation and this site does not decode it into a layout claim.

03 The Prime Time Avenger floorplan family

These seven Avenger floorplans are the 2027 additions to a roster this site already carries in part. They run 2,534 lb dry on a 16-foot single-axle to 7,253 lb on a 36-foot 11-inch tandem, with dry tongue weights of 320 to 880 lb. Prime Time publishes no GVWR for any Avenger floorplan in this channel, so the maximum loaded weight row on every one of these pages reads Not published rather than carrying a figure worked out from dry weight plus cargo capacity.

Prime Time publishes these plans under two roster groupings, Avenger and Avenger LT. Dry weight, cargo capacity, dry tongue weight, all three exterior dimensions and all three tank capacities are published for every one. GVWR is published for none of them, and this catalogue will not derive one: a maximum loaded weight is a towing-safety rating that has to come from the manufacturer who certified it, and dry weight plus cargo capacity is two published numbers added together, not a third published number. Awning size appears on one plan of the seven and a floorplan description on two. Sleeping capacity, axle count, tire size and MSRP are absent from this channel entirely.

04 What owners & reviewers report

What Forest River does not publish for this line

Sleeping capacity, axle count, tire size and MSRP are absent from Forest River's specification channel for Prime Time Avenger, so they are absent here. They are not estimated from the segment, not carried over from a sibling floorplan, and not taken from a dealer listing quoting itself. A tire size in particular is a safety-relevant number that differs between two codes a digit apart, and this site does not guess one.

There is no factory GVWR for this trailer

Forest River publishes dry weight, cargo capacity and dry tongue weight for every Prime Time Avenger floorplan and publishes no GVWR for any of them. The factory's own glossary defines cargo capacity as GVWR minus UVW, which means the rating can be worked out - and a figure you worked out is not a figure the manufacturer published, so this page does not print one. Use the weight label on the trailer itself, which every Forest River unit carries.

Awning size is not published for this floorplan

Forest River publishes an awning size for some Prime Time Avenger floorplans and not for this one. The row reads as unpublished rather than being filled from a neighbouring plan in the same roster.

Weigh it before you tow it

Every figure on this page is a factory publication for a standard build. Forest River's own footnote on unloaded weight calls it an estimated average based on a standard build with optional equipment, and options, dealer-installed accessories and the previous owner's additions all move it. The only weight that governs your towing decision is the one under your own trailer on a scale, loaded the way you actually travel.

05 How it compares

Lighter
Prime Time Avenger 25RKM

6,028 lbs dry against this plan's 7,253 lbs, a difference of 1,225 lbs. Same line, same factory channel, same model year - so the gap is a real one rather than a difference in how two brands measure.

06 Loading it for a trip

This floorplan carries its water comfortably. A full 42-gallon fresh tank is roughly 14% of the 2,427-pound cargo capacity, leaving the 28QBS with a usable gear budget even when you tow full.

The published dry tongue weight of 880 pounds is 12% of the 7,253-pound dry weight, which sits inside the 10–15% band usually quoted for stable towing. It is still a dry figure: loading the front pass-through and the fresh tank both push it up.

Tank balance is generous here: 42 gallons of fresh against 68 grey and 34 black, so waste capacity keeps pace with supply and the fresh tank is the constraint that ends a dry stay.

07 Where this floorplan sits

Of the 7 Prime Time Avenger floorplans profiled here, the 28QBS carries the highest dry weight at 7,253 pounds. It is the top of the line by weight, which makes tow-vehicle capability the first thing to settle rather than the last.

Either side of it in the same line: Prime Time Avenger 25RKM is 1,225 pounds lighter at 6,028 lb dry.

Against the 28QBS: the Passport 2870RL is 2 lb lighter and 4 ft shorter; the Alpha Wolf 26RL is 5 lb heavier and 2 ft shorter; the Jay Feather 30RKB is 8 lb lighter and 1 ft shorter. Those are differences in the published numbers only — what they cost, how they are built and how they live are separate questions each of those pages answers on its own terms.

Those are the nearest travel trailers from other lines by weight — one per line, picked by proximity on that figure and nothing else. They are listed so the same tow vehicle can be checked against real alternatives, not because they are equivalent inside; layout, build and price diverge sharply across that group.

For scale, the Prime Time Avenger floorplans profiled here run 2,534 to 7,253 pounds dry and 16 to 37 feet of exterior length across 7 plans. Where a floorplan falls in that spread usually says more about which vehicle can tow it, and which site it fits, than the layout name does.

Every profiled floorplan in this line, with the full weight table, is on the Prime Time Avenger line hub.

08 Common questions about the 28QBS

How much can the 28QBS carry?

Cargo carrying capacity is 2,427 pounds. That is the whole budget: water, propane, batteries, gear and everything you bring. Filling the 42-gallon fresh tank uses about 350 pounds of that.

What is the tongue weight of the 28QBS?

The published dry tongue weight is 880 pounds. It is measured empty; loaded, it runs higher, and it comes out of your tow vehicle’s payload rather than its tow rating.

What are the tank capacities on the 28QBS?

Fresh 42 gallons, grey 68 gallons, black 34 gallons. Tank sizes set how long the floorplan can sit away from hookups, and the smallest of the three is what ends the stay.

How long is the 28QBS?

Exterior length is 36' 11". Measure against your site length and your storage before committing — the exterior figure is the one that has to fit, and it includes the tongue or pin box.

Every figure in these answers is read from this page’s verified specification table. Where the manufacturer publishes nothing, the question is not answered rather than estimated.

09 What this page publishes, and what it does not

This catalog tracks 18 specification fields per floorplan. Named sources publish 9 of them for the 28QBS. The rest are not shown, because the alternative is reading a figure across from a sibling floorplan or from what the segment usually does — and a number nobody published is worth less than an admitted gap.

Not published for this floorplan: GVWR, interior height, sleeps, slide count, axle count, tire specification, awning, refrigerator, air conditioning. If you find one of these in a manufacturer document for this plan, it belongs on this page.

The completeness figure at the foot of this page (75%) measures the same thing on the full field set: it is a measurement of how much this floorplan’s manufacturer publishes, not of how much research went into the page.

How every figure here was sourced and checked is set out on the methodology page.

11 NHTSA safety record

This floorplan belongs to the Avenger line, and NHTSA holds 9 recall campaigns and 6 owner complaints against that line. They are separate records and are not added together — a recall is a manufacturer-confirmed defect with a remedy; a complaint is one owner’s account, which NHTSA does not verify.

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 is not complete — our harvest of NHTSA’s recall API ran 1,556 queries, of which 0 failed and 242 returned an explicit zero. A line can still be under-reported where NHTSA files a roster under a parent name, or where a match rests on the wording of the recall rather than its model field. Complaints come from the complete bulk file but are unverified and self-selected: a high count tracks how many units a line sold at least as much as how well it was built. Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Avenger line page.
