01 What makes it unique
Forest River lists the 2027 EVO 272QBL at 5,975 lb dry, a GVWR of 7,680 lb, a net carrying capacity of 1,705 lb and a tongue weight of 680 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 33' 3" long and 10' 4" high. Forest River prints its tanks as 44 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 272QBL, 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 2750QBX. 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 272QBL 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.
- Length, 33 ft 3 in: shared with the 2750QBX; of 25, 21 shorter and two longer, nearest the 26ICE (32 ft 9 in) and the 2985VBX (33 ft 10 in).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 22.2%: shared with the 2750QBX; of 25, six smaller and seventeen larger, nearest the 165VW (21.5%) and the 163RBSE, 164FBLE and 2920VB (22.7%).
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 11.4%: shared with the 2750QBX; of 25, six smaller and seventeen larger, nearest the 251RBL and 25ICE (11.3%) and the 2700BHX and 271BHL (11.7%).
- Dry weight, 5,975 lb: shared with the 2750QBX; of 25, sixteen lighter and seven heavier, nearest the 2290ER (5,942 lb) and the 2480VBX (6,159 lb).
- Fresh tank, 44 gal: shared with the 2700BHX, 271BHL and 2750QBX; of 25, sixteen smaller and five larger, nearest the 135ICE, 135RDSE and 136BHSE (41 gal) and the 233RBLE (54 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, 1,705 lb: shared with the 2750QBX; of 25, fourteen smaller and nine larger, nearest the 251RBL and 25ICE (1,522 lb) and the 2700BHX and 271BHL (1,828 lb).
- Tongue weight, 680 lb: shared with the 2750QBX; of 25, thirteen lighter and ten heavier, nearest the 2290ER (650 lb) and the 2700BHX and 271BHL (682 lb).
- GVWR, 7,680 lb: shared with the 2750QBX; of 25, twelve lower and eleven higher, nearest the 233RBLE (7,520 lb) and the 2700BHX and 271BHL (7,682 lb).

Next to the 2290ER (2026 page), the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 272QBL is 33 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 770 lb lower, has 803 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 30 lb heavier, is 4 ft 10 in longer, stands 9 in lower, has a fresh tank 17 gal smaller, has a grey tank 34 gal smaller and has a black tank 2 gal smaller.
Next to the 2480VBX (2026 page), the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 272QBL is 184 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 895 lb lower, has 711 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 95 lb lighter, is 3 ft 4 in longer, stands 5 in lower, has a fresh tank 17 gal smaller, has a grey tank 34 gal smaller and has a black tank 2 gal smaller.
On every figure compared here the 272QBL publishes the same values as the 2750QBX, so on these numbers alone they cannot be told apart.

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 (7,680 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).

04 Notes on this floorplan
What Forest River does not publish for the EVO 272QBL
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.
05 How it compares
5,854 lb dry and 7,682 lb GVWR, against this model’s 5,975 lb and 7,680 lb.
6,178 lb dry and 7,700 lb GVWR, against this model’s 5,975 lb and 7,680 lb.
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), 21% of the EVO 272QBL’s 1,705 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,340 lb. Across 25 EVO floorplans the water share runs 11% to 46%, and 16 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: EVO 2750QBX at 21% and EVO 178BHS at 22%. 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 2750QBX. The two publish identical figures on all 8 fields both carry (length, dry weight, GVWR, cargo capacity, hitch weight, fresh tank, grey tank, black tank), so the published record does not tell them apart; what separates them is the floorplan itself.
| EVO plans | This plan | Position, low to high | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| GVWR (lb) | 7,680 | 13–14 of 25 | 3,807–9,695 |
| Dry weight (lb) | 5,975 | 17–18 of 25 | 2,425–7,433 |
| Cargo capacity (lb) | 1,705 | 15–16 of 25 | 706–3,082 |
| Hitch weight (lb) | 680 | 14–15 of 25 | 307–895 |
| Length | 33 ft 3 in | 22–23 of 25 | 16 ft 0 in–34 ft 11 in |
| Fresh tank (gal) | 44 | 17–20 of 25 | 39–61 |
| Grey tank (gal) | 30 | 2–10 of 25 | 27–74 |
| Black tank (gal) | 30 | 5–19 of 25 | 27–43 |
Either side of it by GVWR: EVO 233RBLE is 160 lb lighter (7,520 lb GVWR); EVO 2750QBX matches it at 7,680 lb GVWR.

09 What this page publishes, and what it does not
10 of the 18 fields this catalogue tracks are published for the EVO 272QBL. Not published: interior height, sleeps, slide count, axle count, tire specification, awning, refrigerator, air conditioning.

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.
