01 What makes it unique
The EVO 2700BHX has 1,828 lbs of cargo capacity between 5,854 lbs dry and its 7,682 lbs GVWR, 24% of that rating; filling its 44-gallon fresh tank at 8.3 lb a gallon uses 365 lbs of it (how to read trailer weights).
Tongue weight is 682 lbs, 12% 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: 90 gallons of grey and black capacity against 44 gallons of fresh water, so fresh water runs out first (tank sizes by length).
Against the rest of the EVO roster this is the 9th of 18 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 2,504 lbs to 7,433 lbs. It sits in the middle of the line by weight.
Plan the tow on loaded weight, not the 5,854 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 6,768 lbs, and the published GVWR of 7,682 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. 2700BHX is a EVO designation and this site does not decode it into a layout claim.
How the 2700BHX differs from the other seventeen EVO floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Length, 31 ft 9 in: fifth-longest of eighteen, between the 2480VBX and 260ICE (29 ft 11 in) and the 26ICE (32 ft 9 in).
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 11.7%: seventh-smallest of eighteen, between the 2750QBX (11.4%) and the 2985VBX (12.1%).
- Cargo capacity, 1,828 lb: eighth-largest of eighteen, between the 2750QBX (1,705 lb) and the 2405BHX (1,852 lb).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 23.8%: eighth-smallest of eighteen, between the 164FBLE and 2920VB (22.7%) and the 2405BHX (23.9%).
- Tongue weight, 682 lb: eighth-heaviest of eighteen, between the 2750QBX (680 lb) and the 25ICE (700 lb).
- Dry weight, 5,854 lb: ninth-lightest of eighteen, between the 233RBLE (4,714 lb) and the 2405BHX (5,888 lb).

- Fresh tank, 44 gal: shared with the 2750QBX; of eighteen, eleven smaller and five larger, nearest the 135ICE (41 gal) and the 233RBLE (54 gal).
- Exterior height, 10 ft 4 in: shared with the 25ICE, 26ICE and 2750QBX; of eighteen, four lower and ten taller, nearest the 135ICE and 174DBLE (10 ft 3 in) and the 233RBLE (10 ft 6 in).
- Grey tank, 60 gal: shared with the 25ICE, 260ICE and 26ICE; of eighteen, ten smaller and four larger, nearest the 163RD and 165VW (54 gal) and the 2290ER, 2480VBX and 2920VB (64 gal).
- Black tank, 30 gal: shared with the 135ICE, 164FBLE and five others; of eighteen, four smaller and six larger, nearest the 163RD, 165VW and two others (27 gal) and the 2290ER, 2405BHX and two others (32 gal).
Next to the 233RBLE, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 2700BHX is 1,140 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 162 lb higher, has 978 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 162 lb heavier, is 3 ft 6 in longer, stands 2 in lower, has a fresh tank 10 gal smaller, has a grey tank 17 gal larger and has a black tank 13 gal smaller.
Next to the 2405BHX, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 2700BHX is 34 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 58 lb lower, has 24 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 58 lb lighter, is 2 ft 10 in longer, stands 4 in lower, has a fresh tank 5 gal larger, has a grey tank 14 gal smaller and has a black tank 2 gal smaller.

Towing it
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 (7,682 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,152 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).
03 The EVO floorplan family
EVO is not one roster but four, and the factory publishes them under separate headings: EVO, EVO Lites, EVO Selects and EVO Singles. That matters for anyone shopping by weight, because the sub-family a plan belongs to predicts its weight class more reliably than its floorplan number does - the Singles run single-axle and light, the base EVO group runs tandem-axle and heavier, and a buyer comparing two EVO plans by number alone can be a full tow class out.

EVO is published by Forest River as four sub-families - EVO, EVO Lites, EVO Selects and EVO Singles - across twenty-three floorplans for 2027. The sub-family each plan belongs to is shown in the table below because it is the strongest single predictor of weight class in this line. Forest River publishes dry weight, cargo capacity, tongue weight and the exterior dimensions for all twenty-three, and a GVWR for nineteen. Sleeping capacity, axle count, tire size and MSRP are not published in this channel.
04 Notes on this floorplan
What Forest River does not publish for this line
Sleeping capacity, axle count, tire size and MSRP are not in Forest River’s specification channel for EVO, so this page does not publish them and does not estimate them (how figures are verified).
Weigh it before you tow it
Forest River calls its unloaded weight an estimated average for a standard build, and options and dealer add-ons change it, so weigh your own trailer loaded the way you travel (how figures are verified).
05 How it compares
4,714 lbs dry against this plan's 5,854 lbs, a difference of 1,140 lbs.
5,888 lbs dry, 34 lbs more than this plan, and 1,852 lbs of cargo capacity against this one's 1,828 lbs.
3,082 lbs of cargo capacity, the highest of the 18 EVO floorplans profiled here. If payload rather than length is the binding constraint, that is the plan to compare against.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 44-gallon fresh tank is about 365 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 20% of the 2700BHX’s 1,828 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,463 lb. Across 18 EVO floorplans the water share runs 11% to 46%, and 14 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: EVO 2405BHX at 17% and EVO 2290ER at 20%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
07 Where this floorplan sits
Closest sibling: the EVO 25ICE, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 6 of the 8 fields both publish (this plan first): length 31 ft 9 in vs 29 ft 10 in; dry weight 5,854 lb vs 6,178 lb; GVWR 7,682 lb vs 7,700 lb; cargo capacity 1,828 lb vs 1,522 lb; hitch weight 682 lb vs 700 lb; fresh tank 44 gal vs 40 gal. They match on grey tank and black tank.

| Cargo capacity (lb) | 1,828 | 11 of 18 | 706–3,082 |
| Hitch weight (lb) | 682 | 11 of 18 | 365–895 |
| Length | 31 ft 9 in | 14 of 18 | 16 ft 0 in–34 ft 11 in |
| Fresh tank (gal) | 44 | 12–13 of 18 | 39–61 |
| Grey tank (gal) | 60 | 11–14 of 18 | 27–74 |
| Black tank (gal) | 30 | 5–12 of 18 | 27–43 |
Either side of it by GVWR: EVO 2750QBX is 2 lb lighter (7,680 lb GVWR); EVO 25ICE is 18 lb heavier (7,700 lb GVWR).

09 What this page publishes, and what it does not

11 NHTSA safety record
NHTSA holds 4 recall campaigns and 3 owner complaints (model years 2005 on) against the EVO line (a recall and a complaint are not the same thing).
Too few reports to show a pattern. 3 complaints have been filed on this line — not enough to say what fails most often. They cover suspension and structure.
Recall coverage here is not complete, and complaints are owners’ unverified reports (how this record is built). Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the EVO line page.
