2026 Forest River Ozark2430RBK

The Ozark 2430RBK has 2,127 lbs of cargo capacity between 5,628 lbs dry and its 7,755 lbs GVWR, 27% of that rating; filling its 54-gallon fresh tank at 8.3 lb a gallon uses 448 lbs of it (how to read trailer weights).

Tongue weight is 755 lbs, 13% 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: 120 gallons of grey and black capacity against 54 gallons of fresh water, so fresh water runs out first (tank sizes by length).

Against the rest of the Ozark roster this is the 9th of 13 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 2,504 lbs to 7,648 lbs. It sits in the heavier third of the line.

Plan the tow on loaded weight, not the 5,628 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 6,692 lbs, and the published GVWR of 7,755 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. 2430RBK is a Ozark designation and this site does not decode it into a layout claim.

How the 2430RBK differs from the other twelve Ozark floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

• Cargo capacity, 2,127 lb: fifth-largest of thirteen, between the 1670RB (1,486 lb) and the 2300RBLE (2,517 lb).
• Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 27.4%: sixth-largest of thirteen, between the 1670RB (26.8%) and the 2300RBLE (33.2%).
• Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 13.4%: sixth-largest of thirteen, between the 26KB (13.2%) and the 1620DBLE (14%).
• Length, 26 ft 1 in: seventh-shortest of thirteen, between the 1900THK (23 ft 4 in) and the 2300RBLE (28 ft 7 in).
• Grey tank, 80 gal: largest of thirteen, level with the 25CP, 26KB and 2900THK; next are the 1900THK, 2300RBLE and two others (40 gal).
• Exterior height, 11 ft 2 in: shared with the 1900THK, 2500THK and 26KB; of thirteen, seven lower and two taller, nearest the 2300RBLE and 2690BHK (11 ft) and the 25CP (11 ft 3 in).

Next to the 2500THK, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 2430RBK is 135 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 1,980 lb lower, has 2,115 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 180 lb lighter, is 2 ft 10 in shorter and has a grey tank 40 gal larger; the two publish the same exterior height, fresh tank and black tank.

Next to the 25CP, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 2430RBK is 660 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 35 lb higher, has 695 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 35 lb heavier, is 3 ft 6 in shorter and stands 1 in lower; 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 54-gallon fresh tank is about 448 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 21% of the 2430RBK’s 2,127 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,679 lb. Across 13 Ozark floorplans the water share runs 10% to 45%, and 8 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Ozark 2300RBLE at 18% and Ozark 1670RB at 22%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
