01 What Avenger is
Avenger is Prime Time's high-volume value travel trailer — a Tuff-Coat metal-sided, drop-frame half-ton bumper-pull family line, the value tier below the laminated Prime Time Tracer. Prime Time Manufacturing, based in Wakarusa, Indiana and a division of Forest River, Inc. (a Berkshire Hathaway company), positions Avenger against the mainstream value travel trailers — Forest River's own Salem / Wildwood and Aurora, Jayco's Jay Flight SLX, Keystone's Passport and Coachmen's Catalina — on floorplan, standard equipment and price.
The build is well-equipped for the value class. Every Avenger rides a bumper-pull tandem-axle powder-coated drop-frame chassis with a Tuff-Coat metal exterior, a PVC roof membrane over 3/8-inch roof decking on a 5/8-inch floor, and a fully enclosed underbelly with a best-in-class drop-frame pass-through. Inside are a Camp King bed with underbed totes and dual shirt closets, a 12-volt refrigerator, a three-burner cooktop with a glass cover, a built-in convection microwave with an air fryer, a stainless farmhouse sink with a rolling cover, seamless pressed countertops and an electric fireplace on most plans, with power tongue and stabilizer jacks standard.
The exterior provisions are a strong value story. Every Avenger carries a centrally located outdoor refrigerator and factory solar prep — roof and wiring provisions to add a panel rather than an installed system — plus back-up camera prep, an exterior shower, front-rail LED light strips and a fully ducted 15,000-BTU air conditioner. RVUSA files nine 2026 Avenger plans; six are profiled in depth below — from the rear-bath 25RBS to the triple-slide flagship 30PO. Prime Time and Forest River publish no MSRP for the Avenger line, so street pricing is dealer-confirmed.
02 Floorplans profiled in depth
Four 2026 floorplans are profiled in full with RVUSA-verified specifications: the remote-work 25MKO, the rear-bathroom 25RBS, the family bunkhouse 26DBS and the triple-slide flagship 30PO. These are the four plans Forest River documents with a factory floorplan record, so every layout claim here is taken verbatim from the factory. The remaining five plans were dropped for MY2027 and carry no factory layout record, so they are catalogued from published weights below rather than described.
| Floorplan | Dry wt | Length | Sleeps | Layout | GVWR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25RBS | 5,863 lbs | 28' 11" | 4 | Front bedroom and rear bathroom | 7,620 lbs |
| 25MKO | 5,983 lbs | 29' 7" | 3 | Front bedroom (W/D prep, built-in desk) | 7,775 lbs |
| 26DBS | 6,413 lbs | 31' 7" | 8 | Bunk beds and front bedroom | 7,805 lbs |
| 30PO | 8,483 lbs | 37' 5" | 8 | Bunk beds and front bedroom, triple slide | 11,215 lbs |
Body specifications (lengths, exterior heights, width, tanks, sleeping, slides, awnings and refrigerator capacity) are verified against the RVUSA structured records for the 2026 Avenger roster. Dry weight (UVW), GVWR, payload (CCC) and tongue (hitch) weight are published per plan, and for every plan the base dry weight plus payload equals the GVWR exactly — so all weight figures are shown unflagged with no derivation. Sleep capacities are the RVUSA-published figures. Prime Time and Forest River publish no MSRP for the Avenger line; street (dealer) pricing is dealer-confirmed. Real loaded tongue weights run higher — weigh the loaded trailer and confirm against your vehicle's tow rating and payload.
03 Also in the 2026 line
Five further 2026 Avenger floorplans are catalogued here from published specifications — the 22MK, 23BHS, 25BK, 25MKB and 27REI. Forest River dropped all five for the 2027 model year and publishes no factory floorplan record for them, so their weights are listed exactly as published and their layouts are not described rather than inferred. Like the profiled plans, all publish GVWR per plan with dry weight plus CCC equal to GVWR exactly.
| Floorplan | Dry wt | GVWR | Payload | Tongue | Length |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 22MK | 4,568 lbs | 7,665 lbs | 3,097 lbs | 665 lbs | 26' 10" |
| 23BHS | 6,123 lbs | 7,760 lbs | 1,637 lbs | 760 lbs | 28' 10" |
| 25MKB | 6,288 lbs | 7,745 lbs | 1,457 lbs | 745 lbs | 29' 11" |
| 25BK | 5,113 lbs | 7,680 lbs | 2,567 lbs | 680 lbs | 30' 0" |
| 27REI | 7,088 lbs | 9,585 lbs | 2,497 lbs | 785 lbs | 32' 1" |
Catalogued weights are verified against the RVUSA structured records for the 2026 Avenger roster; dry weight plus payload equals GVWR exactly on each. RVUSA does not publish an exterior width or awning count for the 23BHS, so those fields are shown as unpublished rather than estimated. These plans are documented for reference and their full floorplan profiles are planned but not yet published.
04 How to choose
The Avenger line sorts by layout and weight tier. For the lightest way in, the catalogued 22MK is the shortest and lightest plan at 4,568 pounds dry, and among the profiled floorplans the 25RBS is the lightest-tongue plan — a front bedroom and a rear bathroom sleeping four at 5,863 pounds dry on a 620-pound tongue. Both suit a well-rated half-ton or a capable SUV.
Choose by where the space goes. The 25RBS pairs a front bedroom with a rear bathroom the factory calls massive and wall-to-wall; the 25MKO trades that bath for washer/dryer prep and a built-in desk in under 30 feet, the line's remote-work plan; and the family bunkhouses run from the single-slide 26DBS, sleeping eight on two double-over-double bunks, to the flagship 30PO, whose three slides open a rear entertainment area under panoramic windows. At the top, the 30PO runs the biggest chassis in the line — an 11,215-pound GVWR and a 1,015-pound tongue — that is beyond honest half-ton territory and wants a three-quarter-ton truck.
Across all of them the construction is the same value build: a bumper-pull 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 centrally located outdoor refrigerator, the Camp King bed, a three-burner cooktop with a convection-microwave air fryer and factory solar prep. The decision is layout, weight tier and how many the plan sleeps. Its laminated step-up sibling, the Prime Time Tracer, sits a construction tier above on price and finish.
05 What to weigh before buying
This is a metal-sided value family travel trailer
Avenger competes with the mainstream value travel trailers — Forest River's own Salem / Wildwood and Aurora, Jayco's Jay Flight SLX, Keystone's Passport and Coachmen's Catalina. Its case is a well-equipped value build — a powder-coated drop-frame chassis with a best-in-class pass-through, a Tuff-Coat metal exterior, a PVC roof, a centrally located outdoor refrigerator, a three-burner cooktop with a convection-microwave air fryer and residential galley touches. For a laminated build a construction tier up, look at its own Tracer sibling; otherwise cross-shop Avenger against those value rivals on floorplan, standard equipment and each maker's warranty.
The solar is factory prep, and the outdoor and 12-volt fridges are standard
Every Avenger ships with a centrally located outdoor refrigerator, a 12-volt refrigerator (10 cubic feet on most plans, 10.6 on the 30PO) and factory solar prep — the roof and wiring provisions to add a panel, rather than an installed system out of the box — plus back-up camera prep. That keeps the entry price down while leaving the trailer ready for an off-grid upgrade. When you compare against a rival that includes an installed solar panel, factor the cost of adding the panel and controller to the Avenger prep. Prime Time and Forest River publish no MSRP for the line, so confirm street pricing with a dealer.
Match the tow vehicle honestly — especially the 30PO
Most of the Avenger line is genuinely half-ton and SUV friendly: the plans run from 4,568 to 8,483 pounds dry on GVWRs from 7,620 to 11,215 pounds, with dry tongue weights from 620 to 1,015 pounds — and real loaded tongue weights run higher. The lightest rear-bath and outdoor-kitchen plans suit a well-rated half-ton or a capable SUV. The flagship 30PO is the exception: its 11,215-pound GVWR and 1,015-pound tongue are beyond honest half-ton territory and want a three-quarter-ton truck. Tow rating alone is not enough — the tow vehicle's payload has to carry the tongue weight plus passengers and gear. Treat brochure tongue weights as a floor, weigh the loaded trailer, and confirm against your vehicle's door-jamb ratings and a proper weight-distributing hitch before buying.
