2026 Forest River Ozark2900THK

The Ozark 2900THK has 3,897 lbs of cargo capacity between 7,648 lbs dry and its 11,545 lbs GVWR, 34% 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).

Forest River’s 2026 Ozark brochure draws the 2900THK with a king bed between wardrobes, with overhead cabinets at the front. Mid-coach: a closet with linen storage above; an entertainment center with a fireplace and shelves; a U-dinette and booth dinette combo and a pantry in a slide; a kitchen with a microwave and overhead cabinets; a fridge; and a bath with a shower. At the rear: a garage with two flip-out sofas, a wall of windows and an 84-inch ramp door. It shows one slide-out and a 19-foot awning. Outside it labels two Group 27 battery trays, a black tank flush, an LP quick connect and a 2x-size camp fridge. Layouts change with options; check the unit itself.

Tongue weight is 1,345 lbs, 18% 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 13th of 13 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 2,504 lbs to 7,648 lbs. It is the heaviest plan in the line, so the tow vehicle should be settled before the floorplan is.

Plan the tow on loaded weight, not the 7,648 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 9,596 lbs, and the published GVWR of 11,545 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 written floorplan description for this plan; the layout described above is read off Forest River’s own floorplan drawing for this model year. 2900THK is an Ozark designation, and this site does not decode the code itself into a layout claim.

How the 2900THK differs from the other twelve Ozark floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

• Dry weight, 7,648 lb: heaviest of thirteen; next is the 2690BHK (6,578 lb).
• GVWR, 11,545 lb: highest of thirteen; next is the 2500THK (9,735 lb).
• Tongue weight, 1,345 lb: heaviest of thirteen; next is the 2500THK (935 lb).
• Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 17.6%: largest of thirteen; next is the 2500THK (17%).
• Length, 36 ft 5 in: longest of thirteen; next is the 2690BHK (32 ft 10 in).
• Exterior height, 11 ft 6 in: tallest of thirteen; next is the 25CP (11 ft 3 in).
• Cargo capacity, 3,897 lb: third-largest of thirteen, between the 2300RBLE (2,517 lb) and the 2500THK (4,242 lb).
• Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 33.8%: fourth-largest of thirteen, between the 2300RBLE (33.2%) and the 13RD (35.2%).

Next to the 2690BHK, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 2900THK is 1,070 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 3,830 lb higher, has 2,760 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 630 lb heavier, is 3 ft 7 in longer, stands 6 in taller and has a grey tank 40 gal larger; the two publish the same fresh 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 571.120 S10.4.2), 12% of the 2900THK’s 3,897 lb cargo capacity, leaving 3,449 lb. Across 13 Ozark floorplans the water share runs 10% to 45%, and 10 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Ozark 2500THK at 11% and Ozark 2300RBLE at 18%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).
