2026 Forest River EVO2700BHX

The EVO 2700BHX leaves Forest River's factory at 5,854 lbs dry, with a published GVWR of 7,682 lbs and 1,828 lbs of cargo capacity between the two. Cargo capacity is 24% of the loaded rating, and Forest River's own definition is worth reading before you plan against it: cargo capacity is what remains for fresh water, gear, food, batteries and every dealer-installed accessory. Fresh water alone is 8.3 lb per gallon, so filling this trailer's 44-gallon fresh tank spends 365 lbs of that 1,828 lbs before anything else is loaded.

Dry tongue weight is 682 lbs, or 12% of the dry weight. Ten to fifteen percent is the conventional band for a bumper-pull trailer, and this plan sits inside it as published. Tongue weight is not fixed: it moves with how the trailer is loaded, and weight added ahead of the axles raises it. A weight-distribution hitch is the normal fitment at this tongue load, and the tow vehicle's tongue-weight limit is a separate number from its trailer-weight limit.

Tank capacities are 44 gallons fresh, 60 grey and 30 black, 90 gallons of waste capacity against 44 gallons of supply. The ratio is what governs how long the trailer can sit off hookups: waste capacity exceeds fresh, so the fresh tank is the binding constraint and refilling extends the stay. Forest River publishes these three figures per floorplan, and they are the factory's numbers rather than a segment average.

Against the rest of the EVO roster this is the 10th of 19 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. Comparing floorplans inside one line is more reliable than comparing across brands, because every figure here comes from the same factory channel on the same day.

A useful way to read the pair of weights is to stop planning against the dry figure. Nobody tows a trailer at 5,854 lbs: that is the weight before water, batteries, propane, bedding, food, tools and anything the dealer bolted on. Load half the published cargo capacity, which is modest for a family trip, and this plan is already near 6,768 lbs on the road. Compare that number against the tow vehicle, not the dry weight, and leave margin on top of it - the published GVWR of 7,682 lbs is a limit rather than a target.

Every number above was captured twice from Forest River and checked against itself before it was published. The line roster block and the individual floorplan page are two separate factory renderings of the same trailer, and this plan's 4 shared figures agree exactly on both. Dry weight plus cargo capacity also equals the published GVWR exactly, which is the arithmetic check this site runs on every profiled floorplan. Where a figure is missing from this page it is because Forest River does not publish it in this channel, not because it was hard to find - and the row says so rather than being quietly dropped.

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.

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.

This floorplan carries its water comfortably. A full 44-gallon fresh tank is roughly 20% of the 1,828-pound cargo capacity, leaving the 2700BHX with a usable gear budget even when you tow full.

The published dry tongue weight of 682 pounds is 12% of the 5,854-pound dry weight, which sits inside the 10–15% band usually quoted for stable towing. It is still a dry figure: loading the front pass-through and the fresh tank both push it up.

Nothing above changes the ceiling. Loaded to its 7,682-pound GVWR the 2700BHX is towing 1,828 pounds more than its 5,854-pound dry figure, and that is the number your vehicle has to be rated for — not the brochure weight.

Tank balance is generous here: 44 gallons of fresh against 60 grey and 30 black, so waste capacity keeps pace with supply and the fresh tank is the constraint that ends a dry stay.

Ranked by GVWR, the 2700BHX sits 10 of 18 in the EVO line: 7,682 pounds against a line that runs from 3,865 to 9,695 pounds. That position is the useful thing to know, because the plans immediately either side of it are the real alternatives.

Either side of it in the same line: EVO 2750QBX is 2 pounds lighter at 7,680 lb GVWR; and EVO 25ICE is 18 pounds heavier at 7,700 lb GVWR.

Against the 2700BHX: the Cherokee Grey Wolf 22MKSE is 7 lb lighter and 5 ft shorter; the Campsite Reserve 26CJ is 8 lb lighter and 1 ft longer. Those are differences in the published numbers only — what they cost, how they are built and how they live are separate questions each of those pages answers on its own terms.

Those are the nearest travel trailers from other lines by weight — one per line, picked by proximity on that figure and nothing else. They are listed so the same tow vehicle can be checked against real alternatives, not because they are equivalent inside; layout, build and price diverge sharply across that group.

For scale, the EVO floorplans profiled here run 2,504 to 7,433 pounds dry and 16 to 35 feet of exterior length across 18 plans. Where a floorplan falls in that spread usually says more about which vehicle can tow it, and which site it fits, than the layout name does.

Every profiled floorplan in this line, with the full weight table, is on the EVO line hub.

This catalog tracks 18 specification fields per floorplan. Named sources publish 11 of them for the 2700BHX. The rest are not shown, because the alternative is reading a figure across from a sibling floorplan or from what the segment usually does — and a number nobody published is worth less than an admitted gap.

Not published for this floorplan: interior height, sleeps, slide count, axle count, tire specification, refrigerator, air conditioning. If you find one of these in a manufacturer document for this plan, it belongs on this page.

The completeness figure at the foot of this page (85%) measures the same thing on the full field set: it is a measurement of how much this floorplan’s manufacturer publishes, not of how much research went into the page.

How every figure here was sourced and checked is set out on the methodology page.
