2026 Forest River Ozark25CP

The Ozark 25CP has 1,432 lbs of cargo capacity between 6,288 lbs dry and its 7,720 lbs GVWR, 19% 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 720 lbs, 11% 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 10th 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 6,288 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 7,004 lbs, and the published GVWR of 7,720 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. 25CP is a Ozark designation and this site does not decode it into a layout claim.

How the 25CP differs from the other twelve Ozark floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

• Exterior height, 11 ft 3 in: second-tallest of thirteen, between the 1900THK, 2430RBK and two others (11 ft 2 in) and the 2900THK (11 ft 6 in).
• Dry weight, 6,288 lb: fourth-heaviest of thirteen, between the 2430RBK (5,628 lb) and the 26KB (6,398 lb).
• Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 18.5%: fourth-smallest of thirteen, between the 1620DBLE and 26KB (18.4%) and the 1610FBLE (21.9%).
• Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 11.5%: fourth-smallest of thirteen, between the 2300RBLE (11.4%) and the 1610FBLE (11.9%).
• Length, 29 ft 7 in: fourth-longest of thirteen, between the 2500THK (28 ft 11 in) and the 26KB (29 ft 11 in).

• Tongue weight, 720 lb: sixth-heaviest of thirteen, between the 2690BHK (715 lb) and the 1900THK (740 lb).
• Grey tank, 80 gal: largest of thirteen, level with the 2430RBK, 26KB and 2900THK; next are the 1900THK, 2300RBLE and two others (40 gal).

Next to the 2430RBK, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 25CP is 660 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 35 lb lower, has 695 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 35 lb lighter, is 3 ft 6 in longer and stands 1 in taller; the two publish the same fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Next to the 26KB, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 25CP is 110 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 125 lb lower, has 15 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 125 lb lighter, is 4 in shorter and stands 1 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 54-gallon fresh tank is about 448 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 31% of the 25CP’s 1,432 lb cargo capacity, leaving 984 lb. Across 13 Ozark floorplans the water share runs 10% to 45%, and 3 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Ozark 26KB at 31% and Ozark 1610FBLE at 38%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
