01 What makes it unique
The No Boundaries NB20.6 is the largest and heaviest travel trailer in the line, a full-size rear-kitchen coach built around the Trailgate outdoor bar. Enter through the front master bedroom and you find a queen bed with dual wardrobes and a private entrance into the walk-through bath. That bath opens to a main living area made spacious by a large slide carrying theater seating, a refrigerator, a pantry and a hutch. The rear kitchen runs across the back; you can dine at the Bar 2 Table pull-out dinette in front of a flip-up window, and just outside that window sits the Trailgate Outdoor Bar — a fold-out counter that creates a food-truck atmosphere, so the cook can serve and visit with people sitting at the dinette inside. A standard outdoor kitchen adds a second exterior station. As a residential couples’ layout with theater seating rather than convertible berths, nominal capacity is two.
At 6,563 pounds unloaded and 29 feet 9 inches, the NB20.6 is the heaviest No Boundaries plan and a tow for a capable half-ton or larger truck. A published 8,063-pound GVWR leaves 1,500 pounds of cargo capacity. Forest River publishes that GVWR directly (it equals the 6,563-pound unloaded weight plus the 1,500-pound cargo capacity exactly). It carries the line’s biggest grey tank — 60 gallons — alongside a 40-gallon fresh and a 30-gallon black, useful for a rear-kitchen plan that generates a lot of grey water, and rides on a tandem axle. 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, plus the line’s longest 21-foot electric awning.
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 couple that entertains and wants the full-size version of the Trailgate layout — a private master, theater seating, a rear kitchen and the biggest tanks and awning in the line — the NB20.6 is the top rear-kitchen coach in the No Boundaries range.

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 NB20.6 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 Notes on this floorplan
A front master and a full-size rear kitchen
The front is a private master bedroom with dual wardrobes and a private entrance into the walk-through bath, and the kitchen runs across the rear — a residential, full-size version of the rear-kitchen layout, with theater seating in the large living slide.
The signature Trailgate Outdoor Bar
A fold-out bar counter outside the rear flip-up window creates a food-truck-style serving space, so the cook can pass food and drinks to people at the inside dinette or the campsite — the standout entertaining feature, paired with the standard outdoor kitchen.
The biggest grey tank and longest awning in the line
A 60-gallon grey tank — the largest of any No Boundaries plan — suits a rear-kitchen layout, and the 21-foot electric awning ties for the longest in the line.
GVWR is published directly
Forest River lists an 8,063-lb GVWR for this plan (equal to unloaded weight plus cargo capacity), so no derivation is needed — a complete factory weight record.
The heaviest tow in the line
At 6,563 lb unloaded and 30 feet, this is the heaviest No Boundaries plan — it needs a capable half-ton or larger truck; confirm your tow and tongue ratings and use weight distribution. The tandem axle tows steadily.
A residential couples’ layout — sleeps two
With theater seating rather than convertible berths, this plan sleeps two as built; some dealers list it within the line’s 2–4 range counting an optional convertible. The figure shown is the as-built couples’ capacity.
05 How it compares
A lighter 25-foot version of this rear-kitchen Trailgate layout — the same front-bedroom-and-rear-kitchen idea with the Trailgate bar in a smaller, lower-priced body for an easier tow.
A 29-foot front-bedroom plan at a similar size — a tri-fold living slide instead of the rear kitchen and Trailgate bar, a little lighter on the axle.
The largest plan at 33 feet — a separate front bedroom plus rear double bunks for a full family bunkhouse sleeping eight, where this plan stays a residential couples’ coach.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 40-gallon fresh tank is about 334 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 22% of the NB20.6’s 1,500 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,166 lb (583 lb per rated berth). Across 17 Forest River No Boundaries floorplans the water share runs 17% to 29%, and 3 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Forest River No Boundaries NB18.3 at 22% and Forest River No Boundaries NB18.0 at 23%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
07 Where this floorplan sits
Closest sibling: the Forest River No Boundaries NB20.8, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 5 of the 9 fields both publish (this plan first): length 29 ft 9 in vs 32 ft 6 in; sleeps 2 vs 4; dry weight 6,563 lb vs 6,753 lb; GVWR 8,063 lb vs 8,253 lb; dry hitch weight 700 lb vs 765 lb. They match on cargo capacity, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

09 What this page publishes, and what it does not
17 of the 18 fields this catalogue tracks are published for the NB20.6. Not published: interior height, tire size (a description is published, a size is not).
Values marked with an asterisk are arithmetic on published figures or come from a single source; the flag travels into the downloadable spec sheet.

11 NHTSA safety record
NHTSA holds 8 recall campaigns and 3 owner complaints against the Forest River No Boundaries line. They are counted separately: a recall is a confirmed defect with a remedy, a complaint one owner’s unverified account.
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 here is not complete, and complaints are owners’ unverified reports (how this record is built). Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Forest River No Boundaries line page.
