How the 2080RBS differs from the other two Solaire floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 13.6%: largest of three; next is the 2300FKBS (12.1%).

04 Notes on this floorplan
What Forest River does not publish for the Solaire 2080RBS
Forest River prints no GVWR, tire size, interior height, sleeping capacity for this model, so none is given. Nothing is filled from a sibling model, a different model year or a dealer listing.
Read the label on the trailer
Federal rules put a load-carrying label inside every RV trailer: its unloaded weight with full propane, its cargo carrying capacity and its GVWR (49 CFR 571.110 and 571.120). Those figures come from the trailer itself and govern the towing decision.

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.
