01 What makes it unique

The Westbrook 16CC has 1,666 lbs of cargo capacity between 3,149 lbs dry and its 4,815 lbs GVWR, 35% of that rating; filling its 41-gallon fresh tank at 8.3 lb a gallon uses 340 lbs of it (how to read trailer weights).

Forest River’s 2027 floorplan drawing for the 16CC shows, at the front, a camp queen bed with shelves. Mid-coach: a dinette under overhead cabinets, and a kitchen with a two-burner stove, a sink and a fridge with a microwave above. At the rear: 30-by-68 bunks and a shower bath. It draws no slide-outs. Layouts change with options; check the unit itself.

Tongue weight is 415 lbs, 13% 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: 60 gallons of grey and black capacity against 41 gallons of fresh water, so fresh water runs out first (tank sizes by length).

Against the rest of the Westbrook roster this is the 1st of 8 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 3,149 lbs to 7,343 lbs. It is the lightest plan in the line, which makes it the one to look at first if the tow vehicle is the constraint.

Plan the tow on loaded weight, not the 3,149 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 3,982 lbs, and the published GVWR of 4,815 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 written floorplan description for this plan; the layout described above is read off Forest River’s own floorplan drawing for this model year. 16CC is a Westbrook designation, and this site does not decode the code itself into a layout claim.

How the 16CC differs from the other seven Westbrook floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

  • Dry weight, 3,149 lb: lightest of eight; next is the 16RBCC (3,339 lb).
  • GVWR, 4,815 lb: lowest of eight; next is the 16RBCC (4,850 lb).
  • Tongue weight, 415 lb: lightest of eight; next is the 16RBCC (450 lb).
  • Length, 20 ft 4 in: shortest of eight; next is the 16RBCC (21 ft 6 in).
  • Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 34.6%: second-largest of eight, between the 16RBCC (31.2%) and the 25BHCC (35.2%).
  • Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 13.2%: third-largest of eight, between the 18BHCC (12.7%) and the 16RBCC (13.5%).
  • Cargo capacity, 1,666 lb: fourth-smallest of eight, between the 16RBCC (1,511 lb) and the 26RBXC (1,757 lb).
  • Exterior height, 10 ft 4 in: lowest of eight, level with the 16RBCC and 18BHCC; next are the 21MLXC, 25BHCC and two others (10 ft 8 in).
  • Fresh tank, 41 gal: smallest of eight, level with the 16RBCC and 18BHCC; next are the 21MLXC, 25BHCC and three others (42 gal).
  • Grey tank, 30 gal: smallest of eight, level with the 16RBCC and 18BHCC; next are the 21MLXC and 25BHCC (34 gal).
  • Black tank, 30 gal: smallest of eight, level with the 16RBCC and 18BHCC; next are the 21MLXC, 25BHCC and three others (34 gal).

Next to the 16RBCC, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 16CC is 190 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 35 lb lower, has 155 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 35 lb lighter and is 1 ft 2 in shorter; the two publish the same exterior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Towing it

Tow rating needed4,815 lb
Published tongue weight415 lb
Loaded tongue weight, rule of thumb482–722 lb
Receiver hitch rating needed4,815 lb towed / 722 lb tongue
Payload check. Budget loaded, not dry: subtract the loaded range, every passenger, the bed and cab load and a weight-distributing hitch from the payload on your tow vehicle’s door-pillar placard (49 CFR 571.110 S4.3).

Check your vehicle. Enter the ratings from your owner’s manual and the door-pillar placard.

Compares your figures with this page’s published GVWR (4,815 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (722 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern.

Loaded range: 10–15% of GVWR on the tongue, a rule of thumb, not a measurement of this unit. No truck ratings or hitch classes (why; NHTSA, DOT HS 809 433).

03 The Westbrook floorplan family

Westbrook is one of the few lines on this site where every published floorplan clears the bar for a full profile: eight plans, no dealer-stock-only entries, and dry weight plus cargo capacity equal to the published GVWR on all eight. The roster splits into single-axle and tandem-axle groupings and runs 3,149 to 7,343 lb dry on lengths of 20 feet 4 inches to 34 feet, with tongue weights of 415 to 1,060 lb.

Westbrook is Forest River's entry-price travel trailer, published in single-axle and tandem-axle groupings across eight floorplans. Forest River publishes dry weight, GVWR, cargo capacity, tongue weight, all three exterior dimensions, all three tank capacities and awning size for every one, and dry weight plus cargo capacity equals the published GVWR exactly on all eight. Sleeping capacity, axle count, tire size and MSRP are not published in this channel and are absent rather than estimated.

04 Notes on this floorplan

What Forest River does not publish for this line

Sleeping capacity, axle count, tire size and MSRP are not in Forest River’s specification channel for Westbrook, so this page does not publish them and does not estimate them (how figures are verified).

Weigh it before you tow it

Forest River calls its unloaded weight an estimated average for a standard build, and options and dealer add-ons change it, so weigh your own trailer loaded the way you travel (how figures are verified).

05 How it compares

Heavier
Westbrook 16RBCC

3,339 lbs dry, 190 lbs more than this plan, and 1,511 lbs of cargo capacity against this one's 1,666 lbs.

Most cargo in the line
Westbrook 25BHCC

2,637 lbs of cargo capacity, the highest of the 8 Westbrook floorplans profiled here. If payload rather than length is the binding constraint, that is the plan to compare against.

06 Loading it for a trip

A full 41-gallon fresh tank is about 340 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 20% of the 16CC’s 1,666 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,326 lb. Across 8 Westbrook floorplans the water share runs 13% to 35%, and 3 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Westbrook 26RBXC at 20% and Westbrook 16RBCC at 23%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
