Towing it

Tow rating needed11,220 lb
Published tongue weight1,020 lb
Loaded tongue weight, rule of thumb1,122–1,683 lb
Receiver hitch rating needed11,220 lb towed / 1,683 lb tongue
Payload check. Budget loaded, not dry: subtract the loaded range, every passenger, the bed and cab load and a weight-distributing hitch from the payload on your tow vehicle’s door-pillar placard (49 CFR 571.110 S4.3).

Check your vehicle. Enter the ratings from your owner’s manual and the door-pillar placard.

Compares your figures with this page’s published GVWR (11,220 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,683 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern.

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).

04 Notes on this floorplan

What Forest River does not publish for the Campsite Ultra 32BK

Forest River prints no tire size, interior height and sleeping capacity for this model, so none is given. Nothing is filled from a sibling model, a different model year or a dealer listing.

Read the label on the trailer

The weight label every RV trailer carries by law (49 CFR 571.110 and 571.120) governs the towing decision, not this page.
