2027 Forest River Impression301ML

The Impression 301ML leaves Forest River's factory at 10,443 lbs dry with 3,552 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 3,552 lbs before anything else goes in.

Forest River’s 2027 floorplan drawing for the 301ML shows, at the front, a king bed with Versa Tilt technology in a slide, a dresser, a bench, a wardrobe, washer/dryer prep and a docking station. Mid-coach: a bath with a walk-in shower with skylight and linen storage, a tri-fold sofa and an entertainment center with a fireplace, and a carpet-free living space with recliners and a desk in a slide. At the rear: a kitchen across the rear with a microwave, a dishwasher, a round table, hidden storage, a pantry and a 16-cubic-foot 12-volt fridge in a slide. It draws 14-foot and 11-foot 6-inch awnings. Outside it labels unobstructed pass-through storage and a 2-inch receiver hitch. Layouts change with options; check the unit itself.

Pin weight is 1,995 lbs, 19% 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: 90 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 Impression roster this is the 4th of 10 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 7,568 lbs to 13,824 lbs. It sits in the middle of the line by weight.

Plan the tow on loaded weight, not the 10,443 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 12,219 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 written floorplan description for this plan; the layout described above is read off Forest River’s own floorplan drawing for this model year. 301ML is an Impression designation, and this site does not decode the code itself into a layout claim.

How the 301ML differs from the other nine Impression floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

• Cargo capacity, 3,552 lb: largest of ten; next is the 360MYR (3,547 lb).
• Pin weight as a share of dry weight, 19.1%: second-largest of ten, between the 318RL (19%) and the 242RD (19.6%).
• Length, 35 ft 8 in: third-shortest of ten, between the 242RD (30 ft 5 in) and the 315MB (38 ft).
• Dry weight, 10,443 lb: fourth-lightest of ten, between the 315MB (10,338 lb) and the 318RL (11,153 lb).
• Pin weight, 1,995 lb: fifth-lightest of ten, between the 315MB (1,935 lb) and the 44STAY (2,070 lb).
• Exterior height, 13 ft 2 in: shared with the 235RW and 315MB; of ten, two lower and five taller, nearest the 36BR3 (13 ft 1 in) and the 318RL and 360MYR (13 ft 4 in).
• Black tank, 30 gal: smallest of ten, level with the 235RW, 315MB and two others; next is the 242RD (32 gal).
• Grey tank, 60 gal: shared with the 235RW, 318RL and two others; of ten, one smaller and four larger, nearest the 242RD (30 gal) and the 315MB (62 gal).

Next to the 315MB, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 301ML is 105 lb heavier by dry weight, has 677 lb more cargo capacity, has a pin weight 60 lb heavier, is 2 ft 4 in shorter and has a grey tank 2 gal smaller; the two publish the same exterior height, fresh tank and black tank.

Next to the 318RL, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 301ML is 710 lb lighter by dry weight, has 585 lb more cargo capacity, has a pin weight 125 lb lighter, is 3 ft 3 in shorter and stands 2 in lower; the two publish the same fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Impression spans a wider range than most fifth-wheel lines: the lightest plan leaves the factory under 7,600 lb dry with a 1,485 lb pin, and the heaviest is a 44-foot coach. That range crosses a real towing boundary, so the plan number matters more here than the badge does. As with Vibe, Forest River publishes no GVWR for any Impression floorplan - dry weight, cargo capacity and pin weight are published, and the rating is not.

A full 57-gallon fresh tank is about 473 lb of water, 13% of the 301ML’s 3,552 lb cargo capacity, leaving 3,079 lb. Across 10 Impression floorplans the water share runs 13% to 20%, and this plan’s is the lowest. Nearest on that share: Impression 360MYR at 13%.
