2026 Forest River Ozark13RD

The Ozark 13RD has 1,361 lbs of cargo capacity between 2,504 lbs dry and its 3,865 lbs GVWR, 35% of that rating; filling its 41-gallon fresh tank at 8.3 lb a gallon uses 340 lbs of it (how to read trailer weights).

Tongue weight is 365 lbs, 15% 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 41 gallons of fresh water, so fresh water runs out first (tank sizes by length).

Against the rest of the Ozark roster this is the 1st of 13 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 2,504 lbs to 7,648 lbs. It is the lightest plan in the line, which makes it the one to look at first if the tow vehicle is the constraint.

Plan the tow on loaded weight, not the 2,504 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 3,184 lbs, and the published GVWR of 3,865 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 publishes no floorplan description for this plan in the channel this page is built from - only the numeric specification block. Rather than describe a layout from the floorplan code, which would be a guess dressed as a fact, this page carries what the factory publishes and says where it stops. 13RD is a Ozark designation and this site does not decode it into a layout claim.

How the 13RD differs from the other twelve Ozark floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

• Dry weight, 2,504 lb: lightest of thirteen; next is the 1610FBLE (3,014 lb).
• Length, 16 ft: shortest of thirteen; next is the 1610FBLE (20 ft 1 in).
• GVWR, 3,865 lb: second-lowest of thirteen, between the 1610FBLE (3,860 lb) and the 1620DBLE (3,950 lb).
• Tongue weight, 365 lb: second-lightest of thirteen, between the 1610FBLE (360 lb) and the 1620DBLE and 1670RB (450 lb).
• Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 35.2%: third-largest of thirteen, between the 2900THK (33.8%) and the 2500THK (43.6%).
• Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 14.6%: third-largest of thirteen, between the 1900THK (14.2%) and the 2500THK (17%).
• Exterior height, 10 ft 3 in: third-lowest of thirteen, between the 1620DBLE and 1680BSK (10 ft 2 in) and the 1610FBLE (10 ft 4 in).
• Cargo capacity, 1,361 lb: fourth-smallest of thirteen, between the 2690BHK (1,137 lb) and the 1680BSK (1,386 lb).
• Fresh tank, 41 gal: fifth-smallest of thirteen, between the 1610FBLE, 1620DBLE and two others (39 gal) and the 1900THK, 2300RBLE and six others (54 gal).
• Grey tank, 30 gal: smallest of thirteen, level with the 1610FBLE, 1620DBLE and two others; next are the 1900THK, 2300RBLE and two others (40 gal).
• Black tank, 30 gal: smallest of thirteen, level with the 1610FBLE, 1620DBLE and two others; next are the 1900THK, 2300RBLE and six others (40 gal).

Next to the 1610FBLE, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 13RD is 510 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 5 lb higher, has 515 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 5 lb heavier, is 4 ft 1 in shorter, stands 1 in lower and has a fresh tank 2 gal larger; the two publish the same grey tank and black tank.

Ozark is Forest River's entry-weight travel trailer, and the roster is unusual for how far down the scale it reaches: the smallest plan leaves the factory at just over 2,500 lb dry. The line splits four ways on the factory roster - single-axle, tandem-axle, limited-edition and toy hauler - and the toy haulers sit at the top of the weight range.

A full 41-gallon fresh tank is about 340 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 25% of the 13RD’s 1,361 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,021 lb. Across 13 Ozark floorplans the water share runs 10% to 45%, and 5 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Ozark 1680BSK at 23% and Ozark 26KB at 31%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
