01 What Salem FSX & Wildwood FSX are

Salem FSX and Wildwood FSX are Forest River's value, SUV-towable travel-trailer twins — the same lightweight trailers built on the same factory line, sold under two nameplates that differ mainly in graphics and décor while sharing an identical floorplan roster. They sit a tier below the laminated Salem Cruise Lite / Wildwood X-Lite as the budget entry into the family, competing head-on with Keystone's value stack and the lightest Coleman and Jayco SLX plans.

The FSX line is organized into tiers. Full-feature travel trailers — including the metal-sided ICE series — carry the richest equipment, with a 60,000-BTU tankless water heater and a black-glass 12V refrigerator. The Limited Edition Value (LE) plans sit at the bottom of the price ladder, trading the tankless heater for a 6-gallon gas unit and adding a string of free customer upgrades — a power awning, a 13,500-BTU roof air conditioner in place of an 8,000-BTU side-mount, a full-size spare and a larger under-counter refrigerator. Above and alongside them, the MAX Series adds toy haulers and versatile cargo trailers with 84-inch garage ceilings. Many plans are sold only as regional or dealer-stock units.

Construction is genuine stick-and-tin value building, a step below the laminate Cruise Lite: a powder-coated I-beam steel frame with camber, two-inch walls sixteen inches (or less) on center, a SuperFlex walk-on roof with bowed truss rafters, a .040 smooth-aluminum front cap and a diamond-plate rock guard, with an enclosed corrugated underbelly for season extension. The optional Platinum package swaps in smooth fiberglass walls with a 200-watt solar panel and a power tongue jack. The result is one of the most affordable, lightest ways into a fully-featured Forest River trailer — with the identical twin nameplate to shop against on price.

02 Floorplans profiled in depth

Four representative, currently-orderable FSX floorplans — the value double-bunk entry, the ICE-series family bunkhouse with a living slide, the rear-bath couples' coach with a private king bedroom, and the full-size eight-berth family bunkhouse — are profiled in full with factory-verified specifications spanning the line's entry, family and couples' layouts. The remaining travel-trailer, value and MAX-Series plans are catalogued below for reference and will be profiled in demand order as the catalog expands.

Dry weights (UVW), lengths, capacities and hitch weights for profiled plans are verified against the Forest River factory floorplan records (2026 model year); GVWR is derived as UVW plus the factory cargo-carrying capacity per Forest River's own definition. Starting MSRP is a representative dealer-typical figure and is flagged (*) — Forest River publishes no single fixed MSRP, dealer-advertised 2026 MSRPs vary widely, and selling prices on these value-tier trailers commonly run from the mid-teens to low-$20,000s. Options affect final weights — always confirm against the unit's own weight sticker.

03 The rest of the 2026 FSX range

The FSX roster is broad and tiered. Below are the additional verified 2026 floorplans by tier, each profiled in demand order as the catalog grows. The first group is the currently-orderable travel trailers and value plans; the second is the dealer-stock-only travel trailers (including the West-Coast regional plans); the third is the MAX-Series toy haulers and versatile cargo trailers. All weights are factory UVW.

A reference list of additional verified 2026 FSX floorplans; lengths and weights are the factory-published values and configurations summarize the layout. The "X" Platinum-package variants of many plans (fiberglass exterior, heavier by roughly 200–300 lb) are not listed separately. Salem FSX and Wildwood FSX share this roster identically.

04 Line notes & data flags

Construction: stick-and-tin value build

FSX trailers are built on a powder-coated I-beam steel frame with two-inch stick-built walls sixteen inches (or less) on center, a SuperFlex walk-on roof and a .040 smooth-aluminum front cap — a genuine value build a step below the laminated Cruise Lite / X-Lite. The optional Platinum package swaps in smooth fiberglass walls with a 200-watt solar panel. Construction figures on the model pages follow the factory feature lists.

GVWR is derived, not published — flagged throughout

Forest River's FSX floorplan pages publish unloaded vehicle weight (UVW) and cargo-carrying capacity (CCC) but not GVWR. Each profiled plan's GVWR here is derived as UVW + CCC, which is Forest River's own definition (CCC = GVWR − UVW). The derived figures are shown with an asterisk; confirm against the unit's weight sticker.

Tiers, regional plans & "X" variants

FSX is sold in tiers (full-feature TT, ICE metal, Limited Edition Value, MAX Series) and many plans are regional or dealer-stock-only — the brand page itself groups them by where they are sold. Most plans also offer a Platinum-package "X" variant (fiberglass exterior) that adds roughly 200–300 lb. Profiled pages cover the base build; weigh the actual optioned trailer.

Refrigerator size not published on most plans

The factory records confirm a 12-volt refrigerator (under-counter on the LE plans) as standard but do not publish its cubic footage for most floorplans — the 233RBLE is an exception, listed at 7 cu ft. Where unpublished, refrigerator capacity is shown unverified on the model pages and excluded from each plan's completeness figure.
