2026 Forest River Wildwood Heritage Glen / Salem Hemisphere261FKRB

The Wildwood Heritage Glen 261FKRB leaves Forest River's factory at 7,563 lbs dry with 2,257 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 45-gallon fresh tank spends 374 lbs of the 2,257 lbs before anything else goes in.

Tongue weight is 1,020 lbs, 13% 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 45 gallons of fresh water, so fresh water runs out first (tank sizes by length).

Against the rest of the Wildwood Heritage Glen roster this is the 7th of 15 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 4,883 lbs to 9,893 lbs. It sits in the middle of the line by weight.

Plan the tow on loaded weight, not the 7,563 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 8,691 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 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. 261FKRB is a Wildwood Heritage Glen designation and this site does not decode it into a layout claim.

How the 261FKRB differs from the other fourteen Wildwood Heritage Glen floorplans. Most distinctive first. Sibling pages may cover other model years than this one (2026). How these ranks are worked out.

• Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 13.5%: third-largest of fifteen, between the 310BHI (13.3%) and the 301FAM and 314BUD (14.8%).
• Cargo capacity, 2,257 lb: fifth-largest of fifteen, between the 323RLI (2,127 lb) and the 314BUD (2,667 lb).
• Length, 31 ft 8 in: fifth-shortest of fifteen, between the 255RBHL (31 ft 1 in) and the 265BSRB (33 ft 2 in).
• Dry weight, 7,563 lb: seventh-lightest of fifteen, between the 28RKHL (6,968 lb) and the 265BSRB (7,798 lb).
• Tongue weight, 1,020 lb: seventh-heaviest of fifteen, between the 265BSRB (940 lb) and the 308RL (1,185 lb).
• Grey tank, 60 gal: smallest of fifteen, level with the 21RBHL, 24RBHL and four others; next is the 310BHI (66 gal).
• Exterior height, 11 ft 6 in: shared with the 265BSRB and 314BUD; of fifteen, seven lower and five taller, nearest the 25BHHL, 275RL and 28RKHL (11 ft 5 in) and the 301FAM (11 ft 7 in).

Next to the 28RKHL, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 261FKRB is 595 lb heavier by dry weight, has 415 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 180 lb heavier, is 2 ft 3 in shorter and stands 1 in taller; the two publish the same fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Next to the 265BSRB, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 261FKRB is 235 lb lighter by dry weight, has 315 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 80 lb heavier, is 1 ft 6 in shorter and has a grey tank 18 gal smaller; the two publish the same exterior height, fresh tank and black tank.

Wildwood Heritage Glen is published as two travel-trailer groupings - the standard roster and a Hyper-Lyte tier - and the two overlap enough on weight that the badge is a poor guide on its own. Dry weight runs 4,883 to 9,893 lb and cargo capacity 1,282 to 2,927 lb, so the tow vehicle needs checking rather than assuming. Nine of the twenty-two published plans are dealer-stock-only. Forest River publishes no GVWR for any Heritage Glen travel trailer.

A full 45-gallon fresh tank is about 374 lb of water, 17% of the 261FKRB’s 2,257 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,884 lb. Across 15 Wildwood Heritage Glen floorplans the water share runs 13% to 29%, and 10 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Wildwood Heritage Glen 314BUD at 14% and Wildwood Heritage Glen 323RLI at 18%.
