2026 Salem Hemisphere 310BHI

The Salem Hemisphere 310BHI is the full-Hemisphere family bunkhouse — a rear bunk room with a convertible sofa/bed, a front bedroom, a kitchen island and direct sightlines across the campsite, all opened up by three slide-outs in a 38-foot-1 body. A standard 50-inch TV, a pantry the factory cheerfully calls house-sized, and stackable washer/dryer prep in the bedroom wardrobe round it out. Its twin in the Wildwood Heritage Glen 310BHI is the identical trailer in different décor.

It carries the premium-laminate build of the line: a vacuum-laminated “Aluma Frame” sidewall and floor with block-foam insulation, a WeatherShield one-piece fiberglass roof, 82-inch sidewalls, Nordic Marble counters, a 10-cubic-foot 12V refrigerator and an 18,000-BTU Furrion Chill Cube with a standard second 13,500-BTU air conditioner. Outside, a massive exterior kitchen and a pair of awnings (10 and 12 feet) extend the living space; a JBL sound system plays inside and out, and a 200-watt roof-solar package is optional.

The 310BHI is published with 2,112 pounds of cargo capacity and a 1,245-pound tongue, so it needs a capable half-ton or a three-quarter-ton truck and weight distribution. Fresh, gray and black tanks run 45, 66 and 30 gallons. For a family that wants a real bunk room, an island kitchen, a huge outside kitchen and laundry prep in the Hemisphere’s laminate build — with the identical Wildwood Heritage Glen to cross-shop — the 310BHI is the line’s family workhorse.

Forest River's Salem Hemisphere and its twin the Wildwood Heritage Glen are the same premium-laminate travel trailers built on the same factory line, differing mainly in graphics and décor and sharing an identical floorplan roster. Hemisphere sits at the top of the Salem / Wildwood travel-trailer ladder — a vacuum-laminated "Aluma Frame" coach with a one-piece fiberglass roof, Nordic Marble counters, an 18,000-BTU Furrion Chill Cube and an automotive windshield — in two tiers: a lighter Hyper-Lyte series of half-ton plans and a heavier full-Hemisphere series of triple-slide family and couples' coaches. The 310BHI on this page is highlighted; each other profiled plan links to its own page. The line runs to roughly two dozen travel-trailer floorplans plus a fifth-wheel range; the highest-demand layouts are detailed here and the rest are catalogued on the line hub.

A full 45-gallon fresh tank is about 375 lb of water, 18% of the 310BHI’s 2,112 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,737 lb (248 lb per rated berth). Across 12 Salem Hemisphere & Heritage Glen floorplans the water share runs 13% to 29%, and 5 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Salem Hemisphere & Heritage Glen 323RLI at 18% and Salem Hemisphere & Heritage Glen 265BSRB at 19%.
