2026 Forest River Wildwood Heritage Glen / Salem Hemisphere Fifth Wheels36FL

The Wildwood Heritage Glen Fifth Wheels 36FL leaves Forest River's factory at 12,954 lbs dry with 2,546 lbs of cargo capacity. Forest River publishes no GVWR for this line, so the loaded rating is not quoted on this page and is not computed from the other two figures. What the cargo number covers is defined by the factory: fresh water, gear, food, batteries and every dealer-installed accessory come out of it. Fresh water is 8.3 lb per gallon, so filling the 57-gallon fresh tank spends 473 lbs of the 2,546 lbs before anything else goes in.

Pin weight is 2,025 lbs, 16% of the dry weight as published; it rises as the trailer is loaded and comes off the truck’s payload, not its towing rating, so check it against the payload on your own door sticker (pin weight and payload).

Off hookups: 182 gallons of grey and black capacity against 57 gallons of fresh water, so fresh water runs out first (tank sizes by length).

Against the rest of the Wildwood Heritage Glen Fifth Wheels roster this is the 6th of 10 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 9,129 lbs to 15,044 lbs. It sits in the middle of the line by weight.

Plan the tow on loaded weight, not the 12,954 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 14,227 lbs. Forest River publishes no loaded rating for this line, so the ceiling is the one on the trailer’s own weight label (how to read trailer weights).

Forest River’s line listing and this floorplan’s own factory page agree on all 4 shared figures. No GVWR is published for this line, so dry plus cargo has no rating to check against. A missing row means Forest River does not publish that figure (how figures are verified).

Forest River's own description of this floorplan reads: “The 36FL takes the term "Elite" to a whole new level. This floorplan takes all of the great advantages of a front living fifth wheel and adds in TONS storage. It also sports the LARGEST outside kitchen of any front living model. This show-stopper of a floorplan also offers a bath & 1/2.” That is the factory's marketing copy rather than a specification, and nothing in it is treated as a verified field on this page - layout descriptions, sleeping arrangements and feature claims in factory copy are not carried into the spec table unless the factory also publishes them as specifications.

How the 36FL differs from the other nine Wildwood Heritage Glen Fifth Wheels. Most distinctive first. Sibling pages may cover other model years than this one (2026). How these ranks are worked out.

• Pin weight as a share of dry weight, 15.6%: smallest of ten; next is the 356QB (15.9%).
• Black tank, 91 gal: largest of ten; next is the ROOST43 (78 gal).
• Grey tank, 91 gal: third-largest of ten, between the 356QB (90 gal) and the 376FAM (92 gal).
• Exterior height, 13 ft 4 in: fourth-lowest of ten, between the 321DRL (13 ft 3 in) and the 280RE, 286RL and two others (13 ft 5 in).
• Dry weight, 12,954 lb: fifth-heaviest of ten, between the 369BL (11,669 lb) and the 380WDR (13,009 lb).
• Cargo capacity, 2,546 lb: fifth-largest of ten, between the 356QB (2,541 lb) and the 286RL (2,691 lb).
• Length, 43 ft 9 in: longest of ten, level with the ROOST43; next is the 373MBRL (43 ft 8 in).
• Pin weight, 2,025 lb: shared with the 321DRL; of ten, three lighter and five heavier, nearest the 286RL (1,871 lb) and the 369BL (2,150 lb).

Next to the 369BL, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 36FL is 1,285 lb heavier by dry weight, has 65 lb more cargo capacity, has a pin weight 125 lb lighter, is 9 in longer, stands 3 in taller, has a grey tank 29 gal larger and has a black tank 61 gal larger; the two publish the same fresh tank.

Next to the 380WDR, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 36FL is 55 lb lighter by dry weight, has 795 lb less cargo capacity, has a pin weight 325 lb lighter, is 11 in longer, stands 1 in lower, has a grey tank 21 gal smaller and has a black tank 31 gal larger; the two publish the same fresh tank.

Heritage Glen's fifth-wheel roster is published as two tiers, the standard series and Elite Luxury, across eleven floorplans running 9,380 to 15,044 lb dry on pin weights of 1,790 to 2,830 lb. Forest River publishes no GVWR for any Heritage Glen fifth wheel, which means the one figure a buyer needs to compare against a truck's rating is absent from the factory's own spec channel.

A full 57-gallon fresh tank is about 473 lb of water, 19% of the 36FL’s 2,546 lb cargo capacity, leaving 2,073 lb. Across 10 Wildwood Heritage Glen Fifth Wheels floorplans the water share runs 14% to 23%, and 5 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Wildwood Heritage Glen Fifth Wheels 286RL at 18% and Wildwood Heritage Glen Fifth Wheels 356QB at 19%.
