01 What makes it unique

The Puma Tracks 3150TBSS has 1,990 lbs of cargo capacity between 6,753 lbs dry and its 8,743 lbs GVWR, 23% 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 880 lbs, 13% 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: 114 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 9th 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 6,753 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 7,748 lbs, and the published GVWR of 8,743 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. 3150TBSS is a Puma Tracks designation and this site does not decode it into a layout claim.

How the 3150TBSS differs from the other thirteen Puma Tracks floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

  • Cargo capacity, 1,990 lb: largest of fourteen; next is the 3070RKLS (1,976 lb).
  • Dry weight, 6,753 lb: sixth-heaviest of fourteen, between the 302BHS (6,348 lb) and the 3200TSBH (7,458 lb).
  • GVWR, 8,743 lb: sixth-highest of fourteen, between the 2750BHS (7,650 lb) and the 3200TSBH (9,395 lb).
  • Tongue weight, 880 lb: sixth-heaviest of fourteen, between the 2580RBSS and 302BHS (725 lb) and the 3200TSBH (995 lb).
  • Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 13%: sixth-largest of fourteen, between the 3380RLBT (12.8%) and the 3300FLBS (13.2%).
  • Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 22.8%: shared with the 2420RBS; of fourteen, nine smaller and three larger, nearest the 2430BHS (22%) and the 237RK (24.4%).
  • Length, 36 ft 10 in: shared with the 3300FLBS; of fourteen, nine shorter and three longer, nearest the 3200TSBH (36 ft 5 in) and the 3060RKTS and 3070RKLS (37 ft).
  • Grey tank, 76 gal: shared with the 237RK and 3300FLBS; of fourteen, eight smaller and three larger, nearest the 2420RBS, 2580RBSS and 3200TSBH (68 gal) and the 3060RKTS, 3070RKLS and 3380RLBT (106 gal).

Next to the 302BHS, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 3150TBSS is 405 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 1,143 lb higher, has 738 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 155 lb heavier, is 3 ft 4 in longer, stands 3 in taller, has a grey tank 16 gal larger and has a black tank 8 gal larger; the two publish the same fresh tank.

Next to the 3200TSBH, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 3150TBSS is 705 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 652 lb lower, has 53 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 115 lb lighter, is 5 in longer, has a grey tank 8 gal larger and has a black tank 8 gal larger; the two publish the same exterior height and fresh tank.

Towing it

Tow rating needed8,743 lb
Published tongue weight880 lb
Loaded tongue weight, rule of thumb880–1,311 lb
Receiver hitch rating needed8,743 lb towed / 1,311 lb tongue
Payload check. Budget loaded, not dry: subtract the loaded range, every passenger, the bed and cab load and a weight-distributing hitch 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 (8,743 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,311 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 range starts at the published figure, because loaded is never lighter than that.

The 2027 model year, as Forest River lists it

Forest River’s own floorplan page lists the 2027 Puma Tracks / Solaire 3150TBSS 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.

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 3150TBSS 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

Lighter
Puma Tracks 302BHS

6,348 lbs dry against this plan's 6,753 lbs, a difference of 405 lbs.

Heavier
Puma Tracks 3200TSBH

7,458 lbs dry, 705 lbs more than this plan, and 1,937 lbs of cargo capacity against this one's 1,990 lbs.

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), 18% of the 3150TBSS’s 1,990 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,641 lb. Across 14 Puma Tracks floorplans the water share runs 18% to 28%, and this plan’s is the lowest. Nearest on that share: Puma Tracks 3070RKLS at 18%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).

09 What this page publishes, and what it does not

11 of the 18 fields this catalogue tracks are published for the 3150TBSS. Not published: interior height, sleeps, slide count, axle count, tire specification, refrigerator, air conditioning.

Sourcing rules: methodology.

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.
