2026 Forest River Sabre32GKS

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.

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.

This floorplan carries its water comfortably. A full 49-gallon fresh tank is roughly 14% of the 2,850-pound cargo capacity, leaving the 32GKS with a usable gear budget even when you tow full.

The published dry pin weight of 1,940 pounds is 18% of this floorplan’s 10,658-pound dry weight. Fifth-wheel pin weight rides in the bed of the truck, so it comes off payload rather than off tow rating — and it rises with the trailer as you load it, not in proportion to what you put over the axles.

Nothing above changes the ceiling. Loaded to its 13,508-pound GVWR the 32GKS is towing 2,850 pounds more than its 10,658-pound dry figure, and that is the number your vehicle has to be rated for — not the brochure weight.

Tank balance is generous here: 49 gallons of fresh against 60 grey and 30 black, so waste capacity keeps pace with supply and the fresh tank is the constraint that ends a dry stay.

Of the 6 Sabre floorplans profiled here, the 32GKS is the lightest by GVWR at 13,508 pounds — the entry point to the line and the one most likely to suit a vehicle already at its limit.

Either side of it in the same line: Sabre 33RLP is 1,187 pounds heavier at 14,695 lb GVWR.

Against the 32GKS: the Wildcat 32LIVE is 8 lb lighter and 2 ft longer; the Eagle 365UKTS is 108 lb lighter and 3 ft longer and sleeps 2 more; the Cardinal 33CHEF is 377 lb heavier and 4 ft longer. Those are differences in the published numbers only — what they cost, how they are built and how they live are separate questions each of those pages answers on its own terms.

Those are the nearest fifth wheels from other lines by weight — one per line, picked by proximity on that figure and nothing else. They are listed so the same tow vehicle can be checked against real alternatives, not because they are equivalent inside; layout, build and price diverge sharply across that group.

For scale, the Sabre floorplans profiled here run 10,658 to 13,838 pounds dry and 34 to 44 feet of exterior length across 6 plans. Where a floorplan falls in that spread usually says more about which vehicle can tow it, and which site it fits, than the layout name does.

Every profiled floorplan in this line, with the full weight table, is on the Sabre line hub.

This catalog tracks 18 specification fields per floorplan. Named sources publish 18 of them for the 32GKS. The rest are not shown, because the alternative is reading a figure across from a sibling floorplan or from what the segment usually does — and a number nobody published is worth less than an admitted gap.

Not published for this floorplan: tire size (a tire description is published, a size is not). If you find one of these in a manufacturer document for this plan, it belongs on this page.

The completeness figure at the foot of this page (95%) measures the same thing on the full field set: it is a measurement of how much this floorplan’s manufacturer publishes, not of how much research went into the page.

Values on this page carrying an asterisk were derived by arithmetic from published figures, or come from a single source, rather than being printed directly by the manufacturer. The flag travels with the number into the downloadable spec sheet.

How every figure here was sourced and checked is set out on the methodology page.
