01 What makes it unique
The 32GKS is Sabre’s entry point and the lightest, shortest coach in the line. The “GKS” marks a galley-kitchen, rear-living layout: a chef’s kitchen island with a free-standing dinette option, theater seating, a private front bedroom with a Camper King bed slide and a rear living room washed in natural light from large windows, with an outside refrigerator at the campsite. Three slide-outs open it up and it sleeps four. At about 10,658 pounds dry it is the lightest Sabre, on the line’s lowest dry pin of 1,940 pounds. It rides the full Sabre build: the Lippert M-19 welded I-beam chassis, vacuum-bond laminated sidewalls, a high-gloss gelcoat front cap and an electric auto-level system.
Forest River publishes a 10,658-pound UVW and a 2,850-pound CCC, which derive a 13,508-pound GVWR (the manufacturer’s own definition is that CCC equals GVWR minus UVW), against a 1,940-pound dry pin — the lowest in the line. Twin 15,000-BTU ducted air conditioners (prepped for a third), a tankless water heater, a 12-volt refrigerator, real wood lumbercore cabinetry, solid-surface countertops, smart projectors in the primary bedroom and a tri-fold sleeper sofa are standard, under dual 10-foot-8-inch and 16-foot awnings.
US street pricing commonly runs in the mid-to-high $50,000s (units have advertised around $54,000 to $59,000). It is the entry, couple’s Sabre — the easiest in the line to tow. For a couple who wants affordable-luxury equipment, a rear living room and a chef’s island kitchen in the shortest, lightest full-size fifth wheel of the line — towable behind a properly rated half-ton-plus or three-quarter-ton truck — the 32GKS is the line’s entry plan.

03 The Sabre floorplan family
Sabre is Forest River's affordable-luxury full-size fifth wheel — a half-step above the brand's own up-trim sibling Sandpiper toward the Cedar Creek luxury line, and a cross-shop against Grand Design's Reflection and Keystone's Cougar from just above. Six of the most distinct 2026 retail floorplans are profiled here in full. The 32GKS on this page is highlighted; each other plan links to its own page.
| Floorplan | Nominal | Sleeps | Notable |
|---|---|---|---|
| 32GKS | 35 ft | 4 | Rear living, lightest and shortest, three slides |
| 33RLP | 40 ft | 4 | Sundeck retractable patio deck, rear living |
| 36FLX | 41 ft | 10 | Flex room + loft, outside kitchen, longest awning |
| 37RVMILES | 43 ft | 7 | RV Miles co-brand, rear living + desk, side patio |
| 36DBB | 43 ft | 8 | Two bedrooms + drop-frame loft, two full baths, five slides |
| 38RVHUNTER | 44 ft | 7 | RV Hunter co-brand, bath-and-a-half, heaviest and longest |
Sabre is Forest River's affordable-luxury full-size fifth wheel — a half-step above the brand's own up-trim sibling Sandpiper toward the Cedar Creek luxury line, and a cross-shop against Grand Design's Reflection and Keystone's Cougar from just above. Six of the most distinct 2026 retail floorplans are profiled here in full; the remaining catalogued retail plans (the 36EST rear kitchen and the 37FLH) and two Dealer Stock Only plans (the 36ML and the two-bath 38DBL) are listed on the hub but not profiled. Every plan is built on the Lippert M-19 welded I-beam tandem-axle chassis with a heated forced-air underbelly, vacuum-bond laminated sidewalls and a high-gloss gelcoat front cap, an electric auto-level system, a 50-amp marine power cord, a tankless water heater, twin 15,000-BTU ducted air conditioners (prepped for a third), real wood lumbercore cabinetry, solid-surface countertops and smart projectors in the primary bedrooms as standard. Hitch weight, UVW and CCC are published per plan on the Forest River factory pages; GVWR is derived as UVW plus CCC per the manufacturer's own definition. The numeric per-axle GAWR is not separately published for Sabre. UVW is a factory estimated average; real loaded pin weights run higher — always weigh the loaded coach and confirm against your truck's payload and rear-axle ratings.
04 What owners & reviewers report
Lightest and shortest in the line
At about 10,658 lb dry and 34 feet 6 inches it is the most towable Sabre, on the line’s lowest dry pin of 1,940 lb — the easiest in the line to match to a truck.
Rear living + chef’s island kitchen
A rear living room with large windows and a chef’s kitchen island with a free-standing dinette option and theater seating — a couple’s entertainer.
Affordable-luxury equipment standard
Twin 15,000-BTU ducted A/C, a tankless water heater, real wood lumbercore cabinetry, solid-surface counters and smart projectors come standard — luxury-tier touches at the line’s lowest price.
A couple’s plan, not a bunk plan
With a front bedroom and a rear living room it sleeps four — a couple’s coach rather than a family bunkhouse.
05 How it compares
The next step up — the same rear-living theme with the industry-first Sundeck retractable patio deck.
Grand Design’s short rear-kitchen half-ton-friendly fifth wheel — the cross-shop a tier across.
Sabre’s own up-trim sibling line one notch below — the same residential layouts with a lighter equipment package at a lower price.
