2026 Forest River Ozark1610FBLE

The Ozark 1610FBLE has 846 lbs of cargo capacity between 3,014 lbs dry and its 3,860 lbs GVWR, 22% of that rating; filling its 39-gallon fresh tank at 8.3 lb a gallon uses 324 lbs of it (how to read trailer weights).

Tongue weight is 360 lbs, 12% 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 39 gallons of fresh water, so fresh water runs out first (tank sizes by length).

Against the rest of the Ozark roster this is the 2nd of 13 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 2,504 lbs to 7,648 lbs. It sits in the lighter third of the line.

Plan the tow on loaded weight, not the 3,014 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 3,437 lbs, and the published GVWR of 3,860 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. 1610FBLE is a Ozark designation and this site does not decode it into a layout claim.

How the 1610FBLE differs from the other twelve Ozark floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

• GVWR, 3,860 lb: lowest of thirteen; next is the 13RD (3,865 lb).

• Length, 20 ft 1 in: second-shortest of thirteen, between the 13RD (16 ft) and the 1620DBLE (21 ft 6 in).
• Exterior height, 10 ft 4 in: fourth-lowest of thirteen, between the 13RD (10 ft 3 in) and the 1670RB (10 ft 6 in).
• Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 21.9%: fifth-smallest of thirteen, between the 25CP (18.5%) and the 1680BSK (24.5%).
• Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 11.9%: fifth-smallest of thirteen, between the 25CP (11.5%) and the 1680BSK (13%).
• Fresh tank, 39 gal: smallest of thirteen, level with the 1620DBLE, 1670RB and 1680BSK; next is the 13RD (41 gal).
• Grey tank, 30 gal: smallest of thirteen, level with the 13RD, 1620DBLE and two others; next are the 1900THK, 2300RBLE and two others (40 gal).
• Black tank, 30 gal: smallest of thirteen, level with the 13RD, 1620DBLE and two others; next are the 1900THK, 2300RBLE and six others (40 gal).

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

Next to the 1620DBLE, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 1610FBLE is 210 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 90 lb lower, has 120 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 90 lb lighter, is 1 ft 5 in shorter and stands 2 in taller; the two publish the same fresh tank, 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 39-gallon fresh tank is about 324 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 38% of the 1610FBLE’s 846 lb cargo capacity, leaving 522 lb. Across 13 Ozark floorplans the water share runs 10% to 45%, and 2 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Ozark 25CP at 31% and Ozark 2690BHK at 39%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
