2026 Forest River Puma Tracks / Solaire235BH

The Puma Tracks 235BH has 1,585 lbs of cargo capacity between 4,728 lbs dry and its 6,313 lbs GVWR, 25% of that rating; filling its 42-gallon fresh tank at 8.3 lb a gallon uses 349 lbs of it (how to read trailer weights).

Tongue weight is 585 lbs, 12% 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: 90 gallons of grey and black capacity against 42 gallons of fresh water, so fresh water runs out first (tank sizes by length).

Against the rest of the Puma Tracks roster this is the 1st of 14 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 4,728 lbs to 8,298 lbs. It is the lightest plan in the line, which makes it the one to look at first if the tow vehicle is the constraint.

Plan the tow on loaded weight, not the 4,728 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 5,520 lbs, and the published GVWR of 6,313 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. 235BH is a Puma Tracks designation and this site does not decode it into a layout claim.

How the 235BH differs from the other thirteen Puma Tracks floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

• Dry weight, 4,728 lb: lightest of fourteen; next is the 232UD (4,858 lb).
• GVWR, 6,313 lb: lowest of fourteen; next is the 232UD (6,440 lb).
• Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 25.1%: largest of fourteen; next is the 232UD (24.6%).
• Tongue weight, 585 lb: lightest of fourteen; next is the 232UD (590 lb).
• Length, 25 ft 11 in: third-shortest of fourteen, between the 232UD and 237RK (25 ft 9 in) and the 2420RBS (27 ft 11 in).
• Cargo capacity, 1,585 lb: fifth-smallest of fourteen, between the 232UD (1,582 lb) and the 237RK (1,587 lb).
• Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 12.4%: seventh-smallest of fourteen, between the 232UD and 2580RBSS (12.1%) and the 3380RLBT (12.8%).
• Exterior height, 10 ft 10 in: lowest of fourteen, level with the 232UD, 237RK and two others; next are the 2420RBS, 2430BHS and seven others (11 ft 1 in).
• Grey tank, 60 gal: shared with the 232UD, 2430BHS and 302BHS; of fourteen, one smaller and nine larger, nearest the 2750BHS (38 gal) and the 2420RBS, 2580RBSS and 3200TSBH (68 gal).
• Black tank, 30 gal: smallest of fourteen, level with the 232UD, 237RK and three others; next are the 2420RBS, 2580RBSS and six others (38 gal).

Next to the 232UD, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 235BH is 130 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 127 lb lower, has 3 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 5 lb lighter and is 2 in longer; the two publish the same exterior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Tracks sits above Camping Edition and below the destination and fifth-wheel tiers of the Puma range. Dry weight runs 4,728 to 8,298 lbs with hitch weights from 585 to 1,080 lbs, and hitch weight is the figure that decides whether a given truck copes: it comes straight off the tow vehicle's payload before passengers and gear. Every plan in the class publishes a GVWR and every one of them ties out against its own unloaded weight and cargo capacity, which is not true of every Puma tier.

A full 42-gallon fresh tank is about 349 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 22% of the 235BH’s 1,585 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,236 lb. Across 14 Puma Tracks floorplans the water share runs 18% to 28%, and 4 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Puma Tracks 237RK at 22% and Puma Tracks 232UD at 22%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
