2026 Forest River Viking25QBH

The Viking 25QBH has 2,582 lbs of cargo capacity between 5,048 lbs dry and its 7,630 lbs GVWR, 34% of that rating; filling its 40-gallon fresh tank at 8.3 lb a gallon uses 332 lbs of it (how to read trailer weights).

Tongue weight is 630 lbs, 12% of the dry weight as published; it rises as the trailer is loaded and counts against the tow vehicle’s tongue-weight and payload limits (tongue weight by size).

Off hookups: 96 gallons of grey and black capacity against 40 gallons of fresh water, so fresh water runs out first (tank sizes by length).

Against the rest of the Viking roster this is the 10th of 16 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 2,499 lbs to 8,052 lbs. It sits in the middle of the line by weight.

Plan the tow on loaded weight, not the 5,048 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 6,339 lbs, and the published GVWR of 7,630 lbs is the limit (how to read trailer weights).

Forest River’s line listing and this floorplan’s own factory page agree on all 4 shared figures. Dry weight plus cargo capacity equals the published GVWR exactly. A missing row means Forest River does not publish that figure (how figures are verified).

Forest River publishes no floorplan description for this plan in the channel this page is built from - only the numeric specification block. Rather than describe a layout from the floorplan code, which would be a guess dressed as a fact, this page carries what the factory publishes and says where it stops. 25QBH is a Viking designation and this site does not decode it into a layout claim.

How the 25QBH differs from the other fifteen Viking floorplans. Most distinctive first. Sibling pages may cover other model years than this one (2026). How these ranks are worked out.

• Cargo capacity, 2,582 lb: fourth-largest of sixteen, between the 282DORM (2,522 lb) and the 26BH (2,681 lb).
• Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 33.8%: fifth-largest of sixteen, between the 25TH (29.7%) and the 12RD (35.9%).
• Length, 30 ft 5 in: fifth-longest of sixteen, between the 25TH (30 ft) and the 262DBS (31 ft 11 in).
• Dry weight, 5,048 lb: seventh-heaviest of sixteen, between the 26BH (4,769 lb) and the 22BHSR (5,498 lb).
• GVWR, 7,630 lb: seventh-highest of sixteen, between the 22BHSR (7,600 lb) and the 242MK (7,700 lb).
• Tongue weight, 630 lb: seventh-heaviest of sixteen, between the 22BHSR (600 lb) and the 242MK (700 lb).
• Grey tank, 64 gal: shared with the 262DBS; of sixteen, twelve smaller and two larger, nearest the 25TH (44 gal) and the 30RKDS (74 gal).
• Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 12.5%: shared with the 18DBS; of sixteen, six smaller and eight larger, nearest the 292TB (12.2%) and the 16FB (12.7%).
• Exterior height, 11 ft: shared with the 22BHSR, 242MK and four others; of sixteen, eight lower and one taller, nearest the 25TH (10 ft 7 in) and the 30RKDS (11 ft 3 in).
• Fresh tank, 40 gal: largest of sixteen, level with the 18BH, 22BHSR and five others; next is the 18DBS (39 gal).

Next to the 26BH, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 25QBH is 279 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 180 lb higher, has 99 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 180 lb heavier, is 1 ft 2 in longer and has a grey tank 32 gal larger; the two publish the same exterior height, fresh tank and black tank.

Next to the 22BHSR, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 25QBH is 450 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 30 lb higher, has 480 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 30 lb heavier, is 4 ft 5 in longer and has a grey tank 32 gal larger; the two publish the same exterior height, fresh tank and black tank.

Viking is organised by weight rather than by layout, and the factory names the groupings accordingly: 3K, 4K, 5K and 6K Series. That makes it the most readable roster in this group for anyone shopping to a tow limit, because the series name is the weight class. Eighteen floorplans run 2,499 to 7,208 lb dry on lengths of 16 feet to 36 feet 8 inches, with tongue weights of 325 to 930 lb.

A full 40-gallon fresh tank is about 332 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 13% of the 25QBH’s 2,582 lb cargo capacity, leaving 2,250 lb. Across 16 Viking floorplans the water share runs 11% to 55%, and 12 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Viking 26BH at 12% and Viking 282DORM at 13%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
