2026 Forest River Wildwood Heritage Glen28RKHL

The Wildwood Heritage Glen 28RKHL leaves Forest River's factory at 6,968 lbs dry with 2,672 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 2,672 lbs before anything else goes in.

Dry tongue weight is 840 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 45 gallons fresh, 60 grey and 30 black, 90 gallons of waste capacity against 45 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 Wildwood Heritage Glen roster this is the 10th of 21 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. 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 these figures is to stop planning against the dry weight. Nobody tows a trailer at 6,968 lbs: that is the weight before water, batteries, propane, bedding, food, tools and anything the dealer bolted on. Load half the published cargo capacity and this plan is already near 8,304 lbs on the road. Because Forest River publishes no loaded rating for this line, the ceiling has to come from the trailer's own weight label rather than from this page, and the comparison you make against the tow vehicle should use the loaded figure.

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. There is no published GVWR on this line, so the usual arithmetic check - dry plus cargo equals the rating - has nothing to test against here. 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. 28RKHL is a Wildwood Heritage Glen designation and this site does not decode it into a layout claim.

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 range crosses from comfortable half-ton towing into territory where 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.

This floorplan carries its water comfortably. A full 45-gallon fresh tank is roughly 14% of the 2,672-pound cargo capacity, leaving the 28RKHL with a usable gear budget even when you tow full.

The published dry tongue weight of 840 pounds is 12% of the 6,968-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.

Tank balance is generous here: 45 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 dry weight, the 28RKHL sits 3 of 8 in the Wildwood Heritage Glen line: 6,968 pounds against a line that runs from 4,883 to 9,893 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: Wildwood Heritage Glen 25BHHL is 335 pounds lighter at 6,633 lb dry; and Wildwood Heritage Glen 265BSRB is 830 pounds heavier at 7,798 lb dry.

Against the 28RKHL: the North Trail 270CK is 3 lb lighter; the Passport 2900BH is 12 lb lighter. 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 Wildwood Heritage Glen floorplans profiled here run 4,883 to 9,893 pounds dry and 25 to 39 feet of exterior length across 8 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 Wildwood Heritage Glen line hub.

This catalog tracks 18 specification fields per floorplan. Named sources publish 9 of them for the 28RKHL. 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: GVWR, interior height, sleeps, slide count, axle count, tire specification, awning, 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 (75%) 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.
