01 What makes it unique

The No Boundaries NB18.7 is a nimble, family-friendly bunkhouse that packs full-feature comfort into a 21-foot-8 body with no slide. It pairs a front queen bed for adults with twin bunks for kids or guests, and a full rear-corner bath adds privacy and convenience at the back. The compact, well-organized layout keeps everything in reach, and a standard outdoor kitchen plus a 14-foot electric awning extend living space outside. It is one of the lightest true bunkhouses in the line — family sleeping at a genuinely towable weight.

At 3,988 pounds unloaded and 21 feet 8 inches, the NB18.7 is among the lightest profiled No Boundaries plans and an easy mid-size-SUV or half-ton tow, with a healthy 1,500-pound cargo capacity for a family loading water and gear. Forest River publishes a 5,488-pound GVWR for this plan directly (it equals the 3,988-pound unloaded weight plus the 1,500-pound cargo capacity exactly), so no derivation is needed. It carries balanced 30/30/30-gallon tanks. Standard equipment is the mandatory C-Series package: a 12V refrigerator, an air-fryer microwave, a 15,000-BTU air conditioner, an on-demand tankless water heater, a 200-watt solar panel with a 30-amp controller and inverter prep, a central vacuum, a power tongue jack and all-terrain tires with TPMS.

Construction is the No Boundaries laminate recipe — Azdel composite panels over an aluminum frame, a block-foam-insulated aluminum floor, a sealed and heated underbelly with a radiant foil barrier and 12V tank pads, and a fiberglass front cap with LED lighting — the same construction tier as Forest River’s r·pod and a step above the metal-sided value lines. An optional Beast Mode package adds an independent suspension, 400 watts of solar and a 2,000-watt inverter. For a family that wants real bunks plus a queen, a full bath and a standard outdoor kitchen at the lowest practical tow weight, the NB18.7 is the compact bunkhouse in the line.

Loaded weight budget

Loaded weight budget for the NB18.7Horizontal bar. Dry weight 3,988 pounds, then cargo capacity 1,500 pounds, against a GVWR of 5,488 pounds. Dry tongue weight 580 pounds on the same scale.GVWR 5,488 lbsDry 3,988 lbsCargo capacity 1,500 lbsDry tongue weight 580 lbs — same scale
Drawn from this page’s published figures. The bar runs from empty to GVWR: the dark band is dry weight, the light band is everything you are allowed to add — water, propane, batteries and gear all come out of it.

Overall length and height are drawn true to scale from the published figures, and the end view uses the same scale. Axle count is as published; axle position, wheel size and the nose profile are schematic. This is a size drawing, not a floorplan, and not a claim about body shape.

Published tank capacities on one scale. A full fresh tank is about 250 lbs of water — roughly 17% of this plan’s 1,500 lb cargo capacity, before you load anything else.

These graphics are generated from the same verified record that builds the table above, and are published under this site’s own licence — nothing here is traced from, or derived from, a manufacturer drawing or photo. Where a figure is not published for this plan, the graphic that would need it is omitted rather than estimated. The full record is in the published dataset.

What it takes to tow this

Built from this floorplan’s verified weights. We publish the trailer side only.

Minimum tow rating your vehicle needs5,488 lb
Published dry tongue weight580 lb
Loaded tongue weight, typical range580–823 lb
Minimum receiver hitch capacity5,488 lb towed / 823 lb tongue
The tongue weight above is dry. It is the figure the manufacturer publishes for an empty trailer. Loaded — with water, propane, batteries and your gear — it runs higher, which is why the range row uses loaded weight. Sizing your truck off the dry number under-budgets your payload.
The arithmetic that actually binds. Open your driver’s door and read the payload figure on the yellow-and-white sticker — that number is specific to your truck as built. Subtract from it: loaded tongue weight (use the range above), every passenger, everything in the bed and cab, and the weight-distributing hitch itself where one is used. What is left is your margin. Payload, not tow rating, is what most half-ton owners run out of first.

We do not publish tow ratings for specific trucks. A single model can vary by thousands of pounds depending on engine, axle ratio, cab, drivetrain and package — the only authoritative figure is the one on your own door jamb. Loaded tongue percentages are industry convention for travel trailers (10–15% of loaded weight), not a measurement of this unit. Hitch classes are not used here as a rating: SAE J684 covers trailers to 10,000 lb GVWR and does not define Class V, and capacity boundaries differ between manufacturers — read the rating stamped on your hitch. On this plan the convention band’s low end fell below the published dry figure, so the range starts at the published dry weight instead — loaded is never lighter than dry.

03 Forest River No Boundaries floorplan family

Forest River’s No Boundaries (NoBo) is a rugged, adventure-lightweight travel-trailer line built “exceptionally light weight” to tow behind 4- and 6-cylinder vehicles. The NB18.7 on this page is highlighted; the other profiled plans link to their own pages. Profiled here are breadth-spanning floorplans — from the 20-foot front-queen compact to the 33-foot family bunkhouse with rear double bunks — with the rest of the roster catalogued on the line hub and profiled in demand order. Every No Boundaries plan ships with the mandatory C-Series package: a 12V fridge, a 15,000-BTU air conditioner, a tankless water heater, 200 watts of solar, all-terrain tires with TPMS, a standard outdoor kitchen and an electric awning.

Every No Boundaries plan uses superior laminated construction featuring Azdel composite panels over an aluminum frame, with an aluminum-framed floor, block-foam insulation, a sealed and heated underbelly with a radiant foil barrier and 12V tank pads, and a fiberglass front cap with LED lighting — the same construction tier as Forest River’s r·pod, a step above the metal-sided stick-and-tin value lines. The identity is rugged and adventure-focused rather than aerodynamic: every plan ships with the mandatory C-Series package (a 12V refrigerator, an air-fryer microwave, a 15,000-BTU air conditioner, an on-demand tankless water heater, seamless Surf(X) countertops, a 200-watt solar panel with a 30-amp controller and inverter prep, a central vacuum, a power tongue jack, an electric awning with an LED strip, black-glass entry doors, all-terrain tires with TPMS and a standard outdoor kitchen). An optional Beast Mode package adds an independent suspension, a second 200-watt solar panel (400 watts total), a 2,000-watt inverter, a fresh-water filter and a Maxxair vent cover. Lengths, weights and equipment change with options and model year — always confirm against the unit’s own weight sticker. Additional No Boundaries floorplans are catalogued on the line hub.

04 What owners & reviewers report

Real bunks plus a queen in a light, no-slide body

A front queen for adults and dedicated twin bunks for kids fit into a 21-foot-8 body with no slide to deploy — a genuine family layout at one of the lightest weights in the line.

Among the lightest profiled plans

At 3,988 pounds unloaded the NB18.7 tows behind a mid-size SUV, yet still carries a full rear-corner bath, a standard outdoor kitchen and a 1,500-lb cargo capacity.

GVWR is published directly

Forest River lists a 5,488-lb GVWR for this plan (equal to unloaded weight plus cargo capacity), so no derivation is needed — a complete factory weight record.

Twin bunks suit kids more than adults

The bunks are sized for children or smaller guests — a family with teens or a need for adult-size berths should look at the larger double-bunk plans (NB19.3, NB20.3).

Selling price runs below the placard

Dealer MSRP placards run near $48,000 while selling prices commonly land near $30,000 (Beast Mode units run higher); the figure shown is dealer-typical selling and is flagged.

06 Loading it for a trip

This floorplan carries its water comfortably. A full 30-gallon fresh tank is roughly 17% of the 1,500-pound cargo capacity, leaving the NB18.7 with a usable gear budget even when you tow full.

Weight budgetFigureWhat it means
Cargo capacity as published (CCC)1,500 lbEverything you add: gear, water, propane, batteries, food, people’s belongings.
Fresh tank filled (30 gal × 8.34 lb)−250 lbWater is the heaviest thing most owners add, and it is added first.
Cargo budget left with a full fresh tank1,250 lb17% of this plan’s capacity is spent before a single bag is loaded.

The published dry tongue weight of 580 pounds is 15% of the 3,988-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.

Nothing above changes the ceiling. Loaded to its 5,488-pound GVWR the NB18.7 is towing 1,500 pounds more than its 3,988-pound dry figure, and that is the number your vehicle has to be rated for — not the brochure weight.

Tank balance is generous here: 30 gallons of fresh against 30 grey and 30 black, so waste capacity keeps pace with supply and the fresh tank is the constraint that ends a dry stay.

07 Where this floorplan sits

Ranked by GVWR, the NB18.7 sits 5 of 17 in the Forest River No Boundaries line: 5,488 pounds against a line that runs from 4,855 to 8,253 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: Forest River No Boundaries NB19.2 is 578 pounds lighter at 4,910 lb GVWR; and Forest River No Boundaries NB18.3 is 115 pounds heavier at 5,603 lb GVWR.

Against the NB18.7: the Flagstaff E-Pro E201SBH is 7 lb heavier; the Rockwood Geo Pro G20SBH is 7 lb heavier; the Jay Feather 16DB is 12 lb heavier and 1 ft longer. 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 Forest River No Boundaries floorplans profiled here run 3,779 to 6,753 pounds dry and 20 to 33 feet of exterior length across 17 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 Forest River No Boundaries line hub.

08 Common questions about the NB18.7

How much does the NB18.7 weigh?

It leaves the factory at 3,988 pounds dry, and its manufacturer-set loaded ceiling (GVWR) is 5,488 pounds. Real towing weight lands between the two and depends entirely on what you load. Use the GVWR when matching a tow vehicle; the dry figure is only useful for comparing floorplans against each other.

How much can the NB18.7 carry?

Cargo carrying capacity is 1,500 pounds. That is the whole budget: water, propane, batteries, gear and everything you bring. Filling the 30-gallon fresh tank uses about 250 pounds of that.

What is the tongue weight of the NB18.7?

The published dry tongue weight is 580 pounds. It is measured empty; loaded, it runs higher, and it comes out of your tow vehicle’s payload rather than its tow rating.

What size tow vehicle does the NB18.7 need?

Your vehicle needs a tow rating of at least 5,488 pounds — this floorplan’s GVWR — and enough payload left over for the hitch load, passengers and anything in the bed. This site does not publish tow ratings for specific vehicles, because one truck model varies by thousands of pounds across engine, axle ratio, cab and package. The figure that governs is the payload sticker on your own door jamb.

What are the tank capacities on the NB18.7?

Fresh 30 gallons, grey 30 gallons, black 30 gallons. Tank sizes set how long the floorplan can sit away from hookups, and the smallest of the three is what ends the stay.

How long is the NB18.7?

Exterior length is 21' 8". Measure against your site length and your storage before committing — the exterior figure is the one that has to fit, and it includes the tongue or pin box.

Every figure in these answers is read from this page’s verified specification table. Where the manufacturer publishes nothing, the question is not answered rather than estimated.

09 What this page publishes, and what it does not

This catalog tracks 18 specification fields per floorplan. Named sources publish 16 of them for the NB18.7. 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: interior height, sleeps, tire size (a tire description is published, a size is not). 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 (95%) 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.

Values on this page carrying an asterisk were derived by arithmetic from published figures, or come from a single source, rather than being printed directly by the manufacturer. The flag travels with the number into the downloadable spec sheet.

How every figure here was sourced and checked is set out on the methodology page.

11 NHTSA safety record

This floorplan belongs to the Forest River No Boundaries line, and NHTSA holds 8 recall campaigns and 3 owner complaints against that line. They are separate records and are not added together — a recall is a manufacturer-confirmed defect with a remedy; a complaint is one owner’s account, which NHTSA does not verify.

Too few reports to show a pattern. 3 complaints have been filed on this line — not enough to say what fails most often. They cover equipment, structure and tires.

Recall coverage is not complete — our harvest of NHTSA’s recall API ran 1,556 queries, of which 0 failed and 242 returned an explicit zero. A line can still be under-reported where NHTSA files a roster under a parent name, or where a match rests on the wording of the recall rather than its model field. Complaints come from the complete bulk file but are unverified and self-selected: a high count tracks how many units a line sold at least as much as how well it was built. Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Forest River No Boundaries line page.
