01 What makes it unique
Forest River lists the 2026 Shasta Phoenix 360BH at 11,449 lb dry, a GVWR of 14,000 lb, a net carrying capacity of 2,551 lb and a pin weight of 2,100 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.
It is 39' 9" long and 12' 10" high. Forest River prints its tanks as 48 gal fresh, 90 gal grey, 45 gal black.
Among the 17 Shasta Phoenix floorplans Forest River lists for 2026 with a published dry weight, it is number 10 from the lightest, in a range from 7,365 lb (Shasta Phoenix 218SE) to 13,030 lb (Shasta Phoenix 373MBRB). Every figure in that comparison is Forest River’s, for the same model year.
Every number on this page was read on 5 Nov 2026 from Forest River’s 2026 Shasta Phoenix sheet, the maker’s own dated document for model year 2026.
How the 360BH differs from the other sixteen Shasta Phoenix floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 18.2%: ninth-smallest of seventeen, between the 334FL (17.3%) and the 30RLS (18.4%).
- Length, 39 ft 9 in: ninth-shortest of seventeen, between the 31BH (37 ft 3 in) and the 368TBH (42 ft).

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 (14,000 lb) and the upper loaded pin estimate (3,500 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern.
Loaded range: 15–25% of GVWR on the pin, a rule of thumb, not a measurement of this unit. No truck ratings or hitch classes (why; NHTSA, DOT HS 809 433).

04 Notes on this floorplan
What Forest River does not publish for the Shasta Phoenix 360BH
Forest River prints no tire size, interior height, sleeping capacity for this model, so none is given. Nothing is filled from a sibling model, a different model year or a dealer listing.
Read the label on the trailer
Federal rules put a load-carrying label inside every RV trailer: its unloaded weight with full propane, its cargo carrying capacity and its GVWR (49 CFR 571.110 and 571.120). Those figures come from the trailer itself and govern the towing decision.
05 How it compares
10,519 lb dry and 13,500 lb GVWR, against this model’s 11,449 lb and 14,000 lb.
12,185 lb dry and 14,500 lb GVWR, against this model’s 11,449 lb and 14,000 lb.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 48-gallon fresh tank is about 398 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.2), 16% of the Shasta Phoenix 360BH’s 2,551 lb cargo capacity, leaving 2,153 lb. Across 17 Shasta Phoenix floorplans the water share runs 13% to 29%, and 9 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Shasta Phoenix 334FL at 15% and Shasta Phoenix 298RLS at 16%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).
07 Where this floorplan sits
Closest sibling: the Shasta Phoenix 336RL, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 5 of the 8 fields both publish (this plan first): length 39 ft 9 in vs 37 ft 0 in; dry weight 11,449 lb vs 10,519 lb; GVWR 14,000 lb vs 13,500 lb; cargo capacity 2,551 lb vs 2,981 lb; hitch weight 2,100 lb vs 1,880 lb. They match on fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

11 NHTSA safety record
NHTSA holds 8 recall campaigns and 1 owner complaint (model years 2005 on) against the Shasta Phoenix line (a recall and a complaint are not the same thing).
Too few reports to show a pattern. 1 complaint has been filed on this line — not enough to say what fails most often. It covers unknown or other.
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 Shasta Phoenix line page.
