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, 2,551 lb: fifth-largest of seventeen, between the 27BAR (2,493 lb) and the 334FL (2,600 lb).
  • Pin weight as a share of dry weight, 18.3%: sixth-largest of seventeen, between the 389DEK (18.2%) and the 254RLS and 31BH (18.5%).
  • Pin weight, 2,100 lb: seventh-heaviest of seventeen, between the 381DBL (2,040 lb) and the 370BAF (2,152 lb).
  • Dry weight, 11,449 lb: eighth-heaviest of seventeen, between the 336RL (10,519 lb) and the 381DBL (12,185 lb).
  • GVWR, 14,000 lb: eighth-highest of seventeen, between the 336RL (13,500 lb) and the 370BAF, 381DBL and two others (14,500 lb).
  • 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).
  • Exterior height, 12 ft 10 in: shared with the 298RLS and 336RL; of sixteen, six lower and seven taller, nearest the 31BH and 368TBH (12 ft 2 in) and the 334FL, 367BH and five others (13 ft).
  • Grey tank, 90 gal: shared with the 298RLS and 336RL; of seventeen, eight smaller and six larger, nearest the 334FL and 391MBH (85 gal) and the 368TBH (99 gal).
  • Black tank, 45 gal: shared with the 298RLS, 334FL and three others; of seventeen, six smaller and five larger, nearest the 218SE, 254RLS and four others (33 gal) and the 368TBH (66 gal).

Next to the 336RL, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 360BH is 930 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 500 lb higher, has 430 lb less cargo capacity, has a pin weight 220 lb heavier and is 2 ft 9 in longer; the two publish the same exterior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Next to the 381DBL, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 360BH is 736 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 500 lb lower, has 236 lb more cargo capacity, has a pin weight 60 lb heavier, is 2 ft 9 in shorter, stands 2 in lower, has a grey tank 22 gal smaller and has a black tank 27 gal smaller; the two publish the same fresh tank.

Towing it

Tow rating needed14,000 lb
Published pin weight2,100 lb
Loaded pin weight, rule of thumb2,100–3,500 lb
In-bed fifth-wheel hitch rating needed14,000 lb towed / 3,500 lb pin
Payload check. Budget loaded, not dry: subtract the loaded range, every passenger and the bed and cab load from the payload on your tow vehicle’s door-pillar placard (49 CFR 571.110 S4.3).

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

Lighter

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).

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.
