How the 25N differs from the other seven Nightfall travel trailers. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

- GVWR, 11,370 lb: third-lowest of eight, between the 20N (11,315 lb) and the 22N (11,375 lb).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 40.3%: third-largest of eight, between the 28N (37.8%) and the 22N (40.6%).
- Tongue weight, 1,170 lb: third-lightest of eight, between the 20N (1,115 lb) and the 22N (1,175 lb).
- Cargo capacity, 4,577 lb: fourth-largest of eight, between the 27N (4,292 lb) and the 22N (4,617 lb).
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 17.2%: fourth-smallest of eight, between the 24N (16.4%) and the 22N (17.4%).
- Length, 29 ft: fourth-shortest of eight, between the 22N (28 ft 6 in) and the 24N (30 ft).
- Black tank, 32 gal: smallest of eight, level with the 27N; next is the 21N (38 gal).
- Exterior height, 12 ft: lowest of eight, level with the 20N and 27N; next is the 21N (12 ft 2 in).
- Grey tank, 64 gal: shared with the 27N; of eight, two smaller and four larger, nearest the 21N (38 gal) and the 22N, 24N and two others (80 gal).
Next to the 22N, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 25N is 35 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 5 lb lower, has 40 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 5 lb lighter, is 6 in longer, stands 6 in lower, has a grey tank 16 gal smaller and has a black tank 8 gal smaller; the two publish the same fresh tank.
Next to the 21N, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 25N is 220 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 110 lb higher, has 330 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 110 lb heavier, is 1 ft 9 in longer, stands 2 in lower, has a fresh tank 15 gal larger, has a grey tank 26 gal larger and has a black tank 6 gal smaller.

Towing it
Check your vehicle. Enter the ratings from your owner’s manual and the door-pillar placard.
Compares your figures with this page’s published GVWR (11,370 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,706 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern.
Loaded range: 10–15% of GVWR on the tongue, a rule of thumb, not a measurement of this unit. No truck ratings or hitch classes (why; NHTSA, DOT HS 809 433). The range starts at the published figure, because loaded is never lighter than that.

04 Notes on this floorplan
What Forest River does not publish for the Nightfall 25N
Forest River prints no tire size, interior height, sleeping capacity for this model, so none is given. Nothing is filled from a sibling model, a different model year or a dealer listing.
Read the label on the trailer
Federal rules put a load-carrying label inside every RV trailer: its unloaded weight with full propane, its cargo carrying capacity and its GVWR (49 CFR 571.110 and 571.120). Those figures come from the trailer itself and govern the towing decision.
05 How it compares
6,368 lb dry and 11,315 lb GVWR, against this model’s 6,793 lb and 11,370 lb.
7,013 lb dry and 11,260 lb GVWR, against this model’s 6,793 lb and 11,370 lb.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 102-gallon fresh tank is about 847 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.2), 18% of the Nightfall 25N’s 4,577 lb cargo capacity, leaving 3,730 lb. Across 8 Nightfall travel-trailer floorplans the water share runs 17% to 21%, and 3 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Nightfall 22N at 18% and Nightfall 27N at 20%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).
07 Where this floorplan sits
