2026 Forest River IBEX25RBH

The IBEX 25RBH has 1,500 lbs of cargo capacity between 6,338 lbs dry and its 7,838 lbs GVWR, 19% of that rating; filling its 40-gallon fresh tank at 8.3 lb a gallon uses 332 lbs of it (how to read trailer weights).

Tongue weight is 1,030 lbs, 16% 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: 60 gallons of grey and black capacity against 40 gallons of fresh water, so fresh water runs out first (tank sizes by length).

Against the rest of the IBEX roster this is the 14th of 16 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 3,778 lbs to 6,733 lbs. It sits in the heavier third of the line.

Plan the tow on loaded weight, not the 6,338 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 7,088 lbs, and the published GVWR of 7,838 lbs is the limit (how to read trailer weights).

Forest River’s line listing and this floorplan’s own factory page agree on all 4 shared figures. Dry weight plus cargo capacity equals the published GVWR exactly. 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 25RBH is a spacious travel trailer designed for families and groups seeking adventure without sacrificing comfort. Its innovative layout features a front queen bedroom with dual wardrobes, providing ample storage space. The central kitchen is equipped with modern appliances, including a large refrigerator and an air fryer microwave, ensuring meal time is a breeze. Rugged exterior features like a 21' awning,…” 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 25RBH differs from the other fifteen IBEX floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

Next to the 25MLB, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 25RBH is 135 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 135 lb lower, has a tongue weight 385 lb heavier, is 3 ft 2 in longer and has a grey tank 30 gal smaller; the two publish the same cargo capacity, exterior height, fresh tank and black tank.

IBEX is Forest River's lightweight four-season travel trailer, built at the company's Outdoors RV-adjacent end of the travel-trailer range rather than in the value tier. The roster runs from a 16-foot single-axle at under 4,100 lb dry to a tandem-axle 26-footer. Forest River publishes a full weight and capacity block for every floorplan, which is why this line could be catalogued completely rather than partially.

A full 40-gallon fresh tank is about 332 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 22% of the 25RBH’s 1,500 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,168 lb. Across 16 IBEX floorplans the water share runs 14% to 36%, and 3 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: IBEX 20FKDS at 22% and IBEX 23MBH at 22%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
