01 What makes it unique
The Ozark 2690BHK has 1,137 lbs of cargo capacity between 6,578 lbs dry and its 7,715 lbs GVWR, 15% 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 715 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: 80 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 12th 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 6,578 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 7,146 lbs, and the published GVWR of 7,715 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. 2690BHK is a Ozark designation and this site does not decode it into a layout claim.
How the 2690BHK differs from the other twelve Ozark floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 14.7%: smallest of thirteen; next are the 1620DBLE and 26KB (18.4%).
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 10.9%: smallest of thirteen; next is the 1670RB (11.1%).
- Dry weight, 6,578 lb: second-heaviest of thirteen, between the 26KB (6,398 lb) and the 2900THK (7,648 lb).
- Length, 32 ft 10 in: second-longest of thirteen, between the 26KB (29 ft 11 in) and the 2900THK (36 ft 5 in).
- Cargo capacity, 1,137 lb: third-smallest of thirteen, between the 1610FBLE (846 lb) and the 13RD (1,361 lb).
- GVWR, 7,715 lb: seventh-lowest of thirteen, between the 2300RBLE (7,575 lb) and the 25CP (7,720 lb).
- Tongue weight, 715 lb: seventh-lightest of thirteen, between the 2300RBLE (575 lb) and the 25CP (720 lb).
- Exterior height, 11 ft: shared with the 2300RBLE; of thirteen, five lower and six taller, nearest the 1670RB (10 ft 6 in) and the 1900THK, 2430RBK and two others (11 ft 2 in).
- Grey tank, 40 gal: shared with the 1900THK, 2300RBLE and 2500THK; of thirteen, five smaller and four larger, nearest the 13RD, 1610FBLE and three others (30 gal) and the 2430RBK, 25CP and two others (80 gal).
Next to the 26KB, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 2690BHK is 180 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 130 lb lower, has 310 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 130 lb lighter, is 2 ft 11 in longer, stands 2 in lower and has a grey tank 40 gal smaller; the two publish the same fresh tank and black tank.
Next to the 2900THK, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 2690BHK is 1,070 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 3,830 lb lower, has 2,760 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 630 lb lighter, is 3 ft 7 in shorter, stands 6 in lower and has a grey tank 40 gal smaller; the two publish the same fresh tank and black tank.

Towing it
Check your vehicle. Enter the ratings from your owner’s manual and the door-pillar placard.
Compares your figures with this page’s published GVWR (7,715 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,157 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern.
Loaded range: 10–15% of GVWR on the tongue, a rule of thumb, not a measurement of this unit. No truck ratings or hitch classes (why; NHTSA, DOT HS 809 433).
03 The Ozark floorplan family
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.

Ozark is Forest River's entry-weight travel-trailer line, published in four factory groupings: single-axle, tandem-axle, limited-edition and toy hauler. Fifteen floorplans are published for 2027. Forest River publishes dry weight, GVWR, cargo capacity, tongue weight and the exterior dimensions for all fifteen; awning size is published for nine. Sleeping capacity, axle count, tire size and MSRP are not published in this channel and are absent rather than estimated.
04 Notes on this floorplan
What Forest River does not publish for this line
Sleeping capacity, axle count, tire size and MSRP are not in Forest River’s specification channel for Ozark, so this page does not publish them and does not estimate them (how figures are verified).
Awning size is not published for this floorplan
Forest River publishes an awning size for some Ozark floorplans and not for this one. The row reads as unpublished rather than being filled from a neighbouring plan in the same roster.
Weigh it before you tow it
Forest River calls its unloaded weight an estimated average for a standard build, and options and dealer add-ons change it, so weigh your own trailer loaded the way you travel (how figures are verified).
05 How it compares
6,398 lbs dry against this plan's 6,578 lbs, a difference of 180 lbs.
7,648 lbs dry, 1,070 lbs more than this plan, and 3,897 lbs of cargo capacity against this one's 1,137 lbs.
4,312 lbs of cargo capacity, the highest of the 13 Ozark floorplans profiled here. If payload rather than length is the binding constraint, that is the plan to compare against.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 54-gallon fresh tank is about 448 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 39% of the 2690BHK’s 1,137 lb cargo capacity, leaving 689 lb. Across 13 Ozark floorplans the water share runs 10% to 45%, and 1 gives up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Ozark 1610FBLE at 38% and Ozark 1620DBLE at 45%. 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 Ozark 25CP, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 6 of the 8 fields both publish (this plan first): length 32 ft 10 in vs 29 ft 7 in; dry weight 6,578 lb vs 6,288 lb; GVWR 7,715 lb vs 7,720 lb; cargo capacity 1,137 lb vs 1,432 lb; hitch weight 715 lb vs 720 lb; grey tank 40 gal vs 80 gal. They match on fresh tank and black tank.

| Black tank (gal) | 40 | 6–13 of 13 | 30–40 |
Either side of it by GVWR: Ozark 2300RBLE is 140 lb lighter (7,575 lb GVWR); Ozark 25CP is 5 lb heavier (7,720 lb GVWR).

11 NHTSA safety record
NHTSA holds 4 recall campaigns and 3 owner complaints (model years 2005 on) against the Ozark line (a recall and a complaint are not the same thing).
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 structure, tires and wheels.
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 Ozark line page.
