2026 Forest River Campsite Reserve39LA

The Campsite Reserve 39LA has 1,806 lbs of cargo capacity between 12,194 lbs dry and its 14,000 lbs GVWR, 13% of that rating; filling its 40-gallon fresh tank at 8.3 lb a gallon uses 332 lbs of it (how to read trailer weights).

Tongue weight is 1,305 lbs, 11% 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: 110 gallons of grey and black capacity against 40 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 21st of 22 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 3,764 lbs to 12,380 lbs. It sits in the heavier third of the line.

Plan the tow on loaded weight, not the 12,194 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 13,097 lbs, and the published GVWR of 14,000 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. 39LA is a Campsite Reserve designation and this site does not decode it into a layout claim.

How the 39LA differs from the other 21 Campsite Reserve floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

• Dry weight, 12,194 lb: second-heaviest of 22, between the 39IB (11,039 lb) and the 39JD (12,380 lb).
• Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 12.9%: second-smallest of 21, between the 39JD (7.6%) and the 26CJ (16.3%).
• Length, 43 ft 9 in: second-longest of 22, between the 39JD (43 ft 4 in) and the 39IB (44 ft 6 in).
• Tongue weight, 1,305 lb: third-heaviest of 22, between the 39GB (1,255 lb) and the 39JD (1,400 lb).
• Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 10.7%: third-smallest of 22, between the 26CJ (10.5%) and the 18LM (11%).
• Grey tank, 70 gal: third-largest of 22, between the 20JW and 39GB (40 gal) and the 39IB and 39JD (80 gal).
• GVWR, 14,000 lb: highest of 22, level with the 39IB; next is the 39JD (13,400 lb).
• Exterior height, 13 ft 6 in: tallest of 22, level with the 20JW and 39JD; next is the 39GB (12 ft 9 in).
• Cargo capacity, 1,806 lb: eighth-smallest of 22, between the 16BC (1,767 lb) and the 23JW (1,832 lb).
• Black tank, 40 gal: shared with the 20JW and 39GB; of 22, seventeen smaller and two larger, nearest the 20LJ, 26CJ and five others (38 gal) and the 39IB (70 gal).
• Fresh tank, 40 gal: shared with the 20JW, 39GB and two others; of 22, three smaller and fourteen larger, nearest the 16BC, 17LS and 18LM (26 gal) and the 19KR, 20AJ and twelve others (52 gal).

Next to the 39IB, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 39LA is 1,155 lb heavier by dry weight, has 1,155 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 205 lb heavier, is 9 in shorter, stands 11 in taller, has a grey tank 10 gal smaller and has a black tank 30 gal smaller; the two publish the same GVWR and fresh tank.

Next to the 39JD, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 39LA is 186 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 600 lb higher, has 786 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 95 lb lighter, is 5 in longer, has a grey tank 10 gal smaller and has a black tank 40 gal smaller; the two publish the same exterior height and fresh 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 40-gallon fresh tank is about 332 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.2), 18% of the 39LA’s 1,806 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,474 lb. Across 22 Campsite Reserve floorplans the water share runs 8% to 34%, and 6 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Campsite Reserve 23TS at 18% and Campsite Reserve 18LM at 20%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).
