2026 Forest River Campsite Reserve26RM

The Campsite Reserve 26RM has 1,432 lbs of cargo capacity between 6,488 lbs dry and its 7,920 lbs GVWR, 18% of that rating; filling its 52-gallon fresh tank at 8.3 lb a gallon uses 432 lbs of it (how to read trailer weights).

Tongue weight is 920 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: 76 gallons of grey and black capacity against 52 gallons of fresh water, so fresh water runs out first (tank sizes by length).

Against the rest of the Campsite Reserve roster this is the 13th of 22 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 3,764 lbs to 12,380 lbs. It sits in the middle of the line by weight.

Plan the tow on loaded weight, not the 6,488 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 7,204 lbs, and the published GVWR of 7,920 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. 26RM is a Campsite Reserve designation and this site does not decode it into a layout claim.

How the 26RM differs from the other 21 Campsite Reserve floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

• Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 18.1%: fourth-smallest of 21, between the 26CJ (16.3%) and the 18LM (19.5%).
• Cargo capacity, 1,432 lb: fifth-smallest of 22, between the 17LS (1,321 lb) and the 25MW (1,757 lb).
• Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 14.2%: sixth-largest of 22, between the 39GB (14.1%) and the 19KR and 23SF (14.5%).
• Dry weight, 6,488 lb: tenth-heaviest of 22, between the 26CJ (6,421 lb) and the 27MR (7,243 lb).
• GVWR, 7,920 lb: tenth-highest of 22, between the 23TS (7,805 lb) and the 27MR (9,985 lb).
• Tongue weight, 920 lb: tenth-heaviest of 22, between the 23TS (805 lb) and the 27MR (950 lb).
• Length, 33 ft 1 in: tenth-longest of 22, between the 26CJ (32 ft 9 in) and the 27MR (34 ft 8 in).
• Exterior height, 10 ft 8 in: shared with the 20AJ, 23JW and three others; of 22, five lower and eleven taller, nearest the 29TJ (10 ft 7 in) and the 18LM (10 ft 9 in).
• Black tank, 38 gal: shared with the 20LJ, 26CJ and four others; of 22, ten smaller and five larger, nearest the 16BC, 17LS and eight others (28 gal) and the 20JW, 39GB and 39LA (40 gal).

Next to the 26CJ, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 26RM is 67 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 246 lb higher, has 179 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 246 lb heavier, is 4 in longer, stands 2 in taller and has a grey tank 10 gal larger; the two publish the same fresh tank and black tank.

Next to the 27MR, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 26RM is 755 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 2,065 lb lower, has 1,310 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 30 lb lighter and is 1 ft 7 in shorter; the two publish the same exterior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Campsite Reserve is the widest single Forest River travel-trailer roster this site carries: dry weight runs 3,764 lb at the 16BC to 12,380 lb at the top of the loft group, and cargo capacity runs 1,020 to 4,336 lb. Tongue weight runs 431 to 1,425 lb and GVWR 5,531 to 14,000 lb. The loft plans are where the weight is -- the 39-series sits at the top of every column -- and the three toy haulers sit in the middle rather than the top, which is unusual for a line that carries both. Twenty-one of the twenty-two profileable plans tie out exactly against dry weight plus cargo capacity. The exception is 23TS, whose own arithmetic gives 7,795 lb against a published GVWR of 7,805; it is published on its own page with that disagreement stated rather than profiled with the rest.

A full 52-gallon fresh tank is about 432 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 30% of the 26RM’s 1,432 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,000 lb. Across 22 Campsite Reserve floorplans the water share runs 8% to 34%, and 2 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Campsite Reserve 25MW at 25% and Campsite Reserve 39JD at 33%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
