01 What makes it unique

The Westbrook 25BHCC has 2,637 lbs of cargo capacity between 4,853 lbs dry and its 7,490 lbs GVWR, 35% of that rating; filling its 42-gallon fresh tank at 8.3 lb a gallon uses 349 lbs of it (how to read trailer weights).

Forest River’s 2027 floorplan drawing for the 25BHCC shows, at the front, a camp king bed between wardrobes with a shelf. Mid-coach: a kitchen with a microwave, a sink and overhead cabinets, a jackknife sofa, a dinette with an entertainment center, a fridge and a pantry. At the rear: 50-by-75 double bunk beds and a shower bath. It draws no slide-outs and a 16-foot awning. Outside it labels storage and drop-frame super pass-through storage. Layouts change with options; check the unit itself.

Tongue weight is 490 lbs, 10% 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: 68 gallons of grey and black capacity against 42 gallons of fresh water, so fresh water runs out first (tank sizes by length).

Against the rest of the Westbrook roster this is the 4th of 8 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 3,149 lbs to 7,343 lbs. It sits in the middle of the line by weight.

Plan the tow on loaded weight, not the 4,853 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 6,171 lbs, and the published GVWR of 7,490 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. 25BHCC is a Westbrook designation, and this site does not decode the code itself into a layout claim.

How the 25BHCC differs from the other seven Westbrook floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

  • Cargo capacity, 2,637 lb: largest of eight; next is the 27REXC (2,517 lb).
  • Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 35.2%: largest of eight; next is the 16CC (34.6%).
  • Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 10.1%: smallest of eight; next is the 26RBXC (10.6%).
  • Tongue weight, 490 lb: third-lightest of eight, between the 16RBCC (450 lb) and the 18BHCC (500 lb).
  • Dry weight, 4,853 lb: fourth-lightest of eight, between the 18BHCC (3,939 lb) and the 21MLXC (5,318 lb).
  • GVWR, 7,490 lb: fourth-lowest of eight, between the 18BHCC (4,900 lb) and the 26RBXC (7,620 lb).
  • Length, 28 ft 8 in: fourth-longest of eight, between the 21MLXC (25 ft 10 in) and the 26RBXC (28 ft 11 in).
  • Exterior height, 10 ft 8 in: shared with the 21MLXC, 26RBXC and 27CC; of eight, three lower and one taller, nearest the 16CC, 16RBCC and 18BHCC (10 ft 4 in) and the 27REXC (11 ft 1 in).
  • Grey tank, 34 gal: shared with the 21MLXC; of eight, three smaller and three larger, nearest the 16CC, 16RBCC and 18BHCC (30 gal) and the 26RBXC (66 gal).

Next to the 18BHCC, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 25BHCC is 914 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 2,590 lb higher, has 1,676 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 10 lb lighter, is 5 ft 5 in longer, stands 4 in taller, has a fresh tank 1 gal larger, has a grey tank 4 gal larger and has a black tank 4 gal larger.

Next to the 21MLXC, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 25BHCC is 465 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 175 lb lower, has 290 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 175 lb lighter and is 2 ft 10 in longer; the two publish the same exterior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Towing it

Tow rating needed7,490 lb
Published tongue weight490 lb
Loaded tongue weight, rule of thumb749–1,124 lb
Receiver hitch rating needed7,490 lb towed / 1,124 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 (7,490 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,124 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).
