2026 Forest River Puma Tracks / Solaire2430BHS

The Puma Tracks 2430BHS has 1,596 lbs of cargo capacity between 5,673 lbs dry and its 7,269 lbs GVWR, 22% 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 645 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: 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 5th of 14 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 4,728 lbs to 8,298 lbs. It sits in the middle of the line by weight.

Plan the tow on loaded weight, not the 5,673 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 6,471 lbs, and the published GVWR of 7,269 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. 2430BHS is a Puma Tracks designation and this site does not decode it into a layout claim.

How the 2430BHS differs from the other thirteen Puma Tracks floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

• Tongue weight, 645 lb: fourth-lightest of fourteen, between the 2420RBS (635 lb) and the 2750BHS (650 lb).
• Dry weight, 5,673 lb: fifth-lightest of fourteen, between the 2420RBS (5,328 lb) and the 2580RBSS (6,013 lb).
• GVWR, 7,269 lb: fifth-lowest of fourteen, between the 2420RBS (6,903 lb) and the 302BHS (7,600 lb).
• Length, 30 ft 7 in: fifth-shortest of fourteen, between the 2420RBS (27 ft 11 in) and the 2750BHS (32 ft 6 in).
• Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 22%: sixth-largest of fourteen, between the 2580RBSS (21.2%) and the 2420RBS and 3150TBSS (22.8%).
• Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 11.4%: shared with the 302BHS; of fourteen, one smaller and eleven larger, nearest the 2750BHS (10.5%) and the 2420RBS (11.9%).
• Cargo capacity, 1,596 lb: seventh-smallest of fourteen, between the 237RK (1,587 lb) and the 2580RBSS (1,615 lb).
• Grey tank, 60 gal: shared with the 232UD, 235BH 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, 235BH and three others; next are the 2420RBS, 2580RBSS and six others (38 gal).

Next to the 2420RBS, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 2430BHS is 345 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 366 lb higher, has 21 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 10 lb heavier, is 2 ft 8 in longer, has a grey tank 8 gal smaller and has a black tank 8 gal smaller; the two publish the same exterior height and fresh tank.

Next to the 2580RBSS, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 2430BHS is 340 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 359 lb lower, has 19 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 80 lb lighter, is 2 ft 1 in shorter, has a grey tank 8 gal smaller and has a black tank 8 gal smaller; the two publish the same exterior height and fresh 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 2430BHS’s 1,596 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,247 lb. Across 14 Puma Tracks floorplans the water share runs 18% to 28%, and 6 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Puma Tracks 2580RBSS at 22% and Puma Tracks 237RK at 22%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
