01 What makes it unique
The Puma Tracks 302BHS has 1,252 lbs of cargo capacity between 6,348 lbs dry and its 7,600 lbs GVWR, 16% 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 725 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 8th 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 6,348 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 6,974 lbs, and the published GVWR of 7,600 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. 302BHS is a Puma Tracks designation and this site does not decode it into a layout claim.
How the 302BHS differs from the other thirteen Puma Tracks floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Cargo capacity, 1,252 lb: smallest of fourteen; next is the 2750BHS (1,467 lb).
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 16.5%: smallest of fourteen; next is the 3380RLBT (19.1%).
- GVWR, 7,600 lb: sixth-lowest of fourteen, between the 2430BHS (7,269 lb) and the 2580RBSS (7,628 lb).
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 11.4%: shared with the 2430BHS; of fourteen, one smaller and eleven larger, nearest the 2750BHS (10.5%) and the 2420RBS (11.9%).
- Dry weight, 6,348 lb: seventh-heaviest of fourteen, between the 2750BHS (6,183 lb) and the 3150TBSS (6,753 lb).
- Length, 33 ft 6 in: seventh-longest of fourteen, between the 2580RBSS (32 ft 8 in) and the 3200TSBH (36 ft 5 in).
- Exterior height, 10 ft 10 in: lowest of fourteen, level with the 232UD, 235BH and two others; next are the 2420RBS, 2430BHS and seven others (11 ft 1 in).
- Grey tank, 60 gal: shared with the 232UD, 235BH and 2430BHS; 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).
- Tongue weight, 725 lb: shared with the 2580RBSS; of fourteen, six lighter and six heavier, nearest the 237RK (670 lb) and the 3150TBSS (880 lb).
Next to the 2750BHS, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 302BHS is 165 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 50 lb lower, has 215 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 75 lb heavier, is 1 ft longer, has a grey tank 22 gal larger and has a black tank 8 gal smaller; the two publish the same exterior height and fresh tank.
Next to the 3150TBSS, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 302BHS is 405 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 1,143 lb lower, has 738 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 155 lb lighter, is 3 ft 4 in shorter, stands 3 in lower, has a grey tank 16 gal smaller and has a black tank 8 gal smaller; the two publish the same fresh tank.

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 (7,600 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,140 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern.
Loaded range: 10–15% of GVWR on the tongue, a rule of thumb, not a measurement of this unit. No truck ratings or hitch classes (why; NHTSA, DOT HS 809 433).
The 2027 model year, as Forest River lists it
Forest River’s own floorplan page lists the 2027 Puma Tracks / Solaire 302BHS with the figures below (read 22 Oct 2026). They are that year’s record. The specifications above are the 2026 record; the two are not merged, and neither fills a gap in the other. Every weight, dimension and tank figure in it matches the 2026 record above. Unloaded weight plus cargo capacity equals the 2027 GVWR exactly.

03 The Puma Tracks floorplan family
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.
| Floorplan | Nominal | Dry weight (lb) | GVWR (lb) | Notable |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 235BH | 25' 11" | 4,728 | 6,313 | Lite Travel Trailers |
| 232UD | 25' 9" | 4,858 | 6,440 | Lite Travel Trailers |
| 237RK | 25' 9" | 4,918 | 6,505 | Lite Travel Trailers |
| 2420RBS | 27' 11" | 5,328 | 6,903 | Travel Trailers |
| 2430BHS | 30' 7" | 5,673 | 7,269 | Travel Trailers |
| 2580RBSS | 32' 8" | 6,013 | 7,628 | Travel Trailers |
| 2750BHS | 32' 6" | 6,183 | 7,650 | Travel Trailers |
| 302BHS | 33' 6" | 6,348 | 7,600 | Lite Travel Trailers |
| 3150TBSS | 36' 10" | 6,753 | 8,743 | Travel Trailers |
| 3200TSBH | 36' 5" | 7,458 | 9,395 | Travel Trailers |
| 3300FLBS | 36' 10" | 7,693 | 9,643 | Travel Trailers |
| 3060RKTS | 37' 0" | 7,803 | 9,703 | Travel Trailers |
| 3070RKLS | 37' 0" | 7,918 | 9,894 | Travel Trailers |
| 3380RLBT | 37' 8" | 8,298 | 10,260 | Travel Trailers |
Tracks is the mid-weight Puma travel-trailer class and the factory splits its fourteen floorplans across two groupings on the same roster page — a Lite group and a plain Travel Trailers group. All fourteen publish a full field set and all fourteen tie out exactly, so all fourteen are profiled. Dry weight runs 4,728 to 8,298 lbs across the class.
Forest River also lists the 302BHS under a second badge, Solaire, with the same floorplan code. This page carries both names; there is no second page set. Read side by side for 2026 and for 2027, the two listings agree on every figure both publish. Solaire publishes no GVWR. How the two badges compare.
04 Notes on this floorplan
What Forest River does not publish for this line
Sleeping capacity, axle count, tire size and MSRP are not in Forest River’s specification channel for Puma Tracks, so this page does not publish them and does not estimate them (how figures are verified).
Weigh it before you tow it
Forest River calls its unloaded weight an estimated average for a standard build, and options and dealer add-ons change it, so weigh your own trailer loaded the way you travel (how figures are verified).
05 How it compares
6,183 lbs dry against this plan's 6,348 lbs, a difference of 165 lbs.
6,753 lbs dry, 405 lbs more than this plan, and 1,990 lbs of cargo capacity against this one's 1,252 lbs.
1,990 lbs of cargo capacity, the highest of the 14 Puma Tracks floorplans profiled here. If payload rather than length is the binding constraint, that is the plan to compare against.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 42-gallon fresh tank is about 349 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 28% of the 302BHS’s 1,252 lb cargo capacity, leaving 903 lb. Across 14 Puma Tracks floorplans the water share runs 18% to 28%, and this plan’s is the highest. Nearest on that share: Puma Tracks 2750BHS at 24%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
07 Where this floorplan sits
Closest sibling: the Puma Tracks 2430BHS, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 5 of the 8 fields both publish (this plan first): length 33 ft 6 in vs 30 ft 7 in; dry weight 6,348 lb vs 5,673 lb; GVWR 7,600 lb vs 7,269 lb; cargo capacity 1,252 lb vs 1,596 lb; hitch weight 725 lb vs 645 lb. They match on fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

11 NHTSA safety record
NHTSA holds 3 recall campaigns and 1 owner complaint (model years 2005 on) against the Solaire 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 tires.
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 Solaire line page.
