2027 Forest RiverEVO 163RBSE

Forest River lists the 2027 EVO 163RBSE at 2,988 lb dry, a GVWR of 3,865 lb, a net carrying capacity of 877 lb and a tongue weight of 365 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.

It is 20' 2" long and 10' 2" high. Forest River prints its tanks as 39 gal fresh, 30 gal grey, 30 gal black.

Every number on this page was read on 9 Nov 2026 from Forest River’s own 2027 EVO floorplan page for the EVO 163RBSE, whose heading names the model year 2027. Its dry weight, carrying capacity and tongue weight are the same three figures Forest River printed for the 2026 EVO 164FBLE. Forest River publishes no list mapping its 2026 codes to its 2027 ones, so this site does not call them the same floorplan.

How the 163RBSE differs from the other 24 EVO floorplans. Most distinctive first. Sibling pages may cover other model years than this one (2027). How these ranks are worked out.

• Exterior height, 10 ft 2 in: lowest of 25, level with the 164FBLE and 179DB; next are the 135ICE, 135RDSE and three others (10 ft 3 in).
• Cargo capacity, 877 lb: shared with the 164FBLE; of 25, two smaller and 21 larger, nearest the 174DBLE and 174DBSE (706 lb) and the 165VW (1,213 lb).
• Dry weight, 2,988 lb: shared with the 164FBLE; of 25, three lighter and twenty heavier, nearest the 135ICE (2,504 lb) and the 174DBLE and 174DBSE (3,229 lb).
• GVWR, 3,865 lb: shared with the 135ICE and 164FBLE; of 25, two lower and twenty higher, nearest the 135RDSE (3,820 lb) and the 174DBLE and 174DBSE (3,935 lb).
• Tongue weight, 365 lb: shared with the 135ICE and 164FBLE; of 25, two lighter and twenty heavier, nearest the 135RDSE (320 lb) and the 163RD (420 lb).
• Length, 20 ft 2 in: shared with the 164FBLE; of 25, three shorter and twenty longer, nearest the 135ICE, 135RDSE and 136BHSE (16 ft) and the 174DBLE and 174DBSE (21 ft 8 in).
• Fresh tank, 39 gal: smallest of 25, level with the 163RD, 164FBLE and six others; next are the 251RBL, 25ICE and two others (40 gal).
• Grey tank, 30 gal: shared with the 135ICE, 135RDSE and six others; of 25, one smaller and fifteen larger, nearest the 179DB (27 gal) and the 178BHS and 2985VBX (32 gal).
• Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 22.7%: shared with the 164FBLE and 2920VB; of 25, eight smaller and fourteen larger, nearest the 272QBL and 2750QBX (22.2%) and the 2700BHX and 271BHL (23.8%).
• Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 12.2%: shared with the 164FBLE; of 25, eleven smaller and twelve larger, nearest the 2985VBX (12.1%) and the 165VW (12.4%).

Next to the 135ICE (2026 page), the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 163RBSE is 484 lb heavier by dry weight, has 484 lb less cargo capacity, is 4 ft 2 in longer, stands 1 in lower and has a fresh tank 2 gal smaller; the two publish the same GVWR, tongue weight, grey tank and black tank.

Next to the 174DBLE (2026 page), the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 163RBSE is 241 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 70 lb lower, has 171 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 70 lb lighter, is 1 ft 6 in shorter and stands 1 in lower; the two publish the same fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

On every figure compared here the 163RBSE publishes the same values as the 164FBLE, so on these numbers alone they cannot be told apart.

The EVO floorplans below were added from Forest River’s 2027 EVO floorplan page; every EVO floorplan on this site, every model year, is listed on the EVO hub.

A full 39-gallon fresh tank is about 324 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 37% of the EVO 163RBSE’s 877 lb cargo capacity, leaving 553 lb. Across 25 EVO floorplans the water share runs 11% to 46%, and 2 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: EVO 164FBLE at 37% and EVO 174DBLE at 46%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
