01 What makes it unique
The Westbrook 27CC has 1,392 lbs of cargo capacity between 6,413 lbs dry and its 7,805 lbs GVWR, 18% 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 27CC shows, at the front, a camp king bed between wardrobes with overhead cabinets. Mid-coach: a jackknife sofa and dinette in a slide (theater seating is an option), an entertainment center with a fireplace, a hidden pantry, and a kitchen with a fridge, a microwave and a sink. At the rear: 50-by-75 double bunk beds and a bath with a tub shower and a medicine cabinet. It draws one slide-out. Outside it labels an outside fridge and drop-frame super pass-through storage. Layouts change with options; check the unit itself.
Tongue weight is 805 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: 102 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 7th of 8 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 3,149 lbs to 7,343 lbs. It sits in the heavier third of the line.
Plan the tow on loaded weight, not the 6,413 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 7,109 lbs, and the published GVWR of 7,805 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. 27CC is a Westbrook designation, and this site does not decode the code itself into a layout claim.
How the 27CC differs from the other seven Westbrook floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 17.8%: smallest of eight; next is the 18BHCC (19.6%).
- Dry weight, 6,413 lb: second-heaviest of eight, between the 26RBXC (5,863 lb) and the 27REXC (7,343 lb).
- GVWR, 7,805 lb: second-highest of eight, between the 21MLXC (7,665 lb) and the 27REXC (9,860 lb).
- Cargo capacity, 1,392 lb: second-smallest of eight, between the 18BHCC (961 lb) and the 16RBCC (1,511 lb).
- Tongue weight, 805 lb: second-heaviest of eight, between the 21MLXC (665 lb) and the 27REXC (1,060 lb).
- Length, 31 ft 7 in: second-longest of eight, between the 26RBXC (28 ft 11 in) and the 27REXC (34 ft).
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 12.6%: fourth-smallest of eight, between the 21MLXC (12.5%) and the 18BHCC (12.7%).
- Grey tank, 68 gal: largest of eight, level with the 27REXC; next is the 26RBXC (66 gal).
- Exterior height, 10 ft 8 in: shared with the 21MLXC, 25BHCC and 26RBXC; of eight, three lower and one taller, nearest the 16CC, 16RBCC and 18BHCC (10 ft 4 in) and the 27REXC (11 ft 1 in).
Next to the 26RBXC, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 27CC is 550 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 185 lb higher, has 365 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 185 lb heavier, is 2 ft 8 in longer and has a grey tank 2 gal larger; the two publish the same exterior height, fresh tank and black tank.
Next to the 27REXC, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 27CC is 930 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 2,055 lb lower, has 1,125 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 255 lb lighter, is 2 ft 5 in shorter and stands 5 in lower; the two publish the same fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Towing it
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 (7,805 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,171 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). The range starts at the published figure, because loaded is never lighter than that.
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.
| Floorplan | Nominal | Dry weight (lb) | GVWR (lb) | Notable |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 16CC | 20' 4" | 3,149 | 4,815 | Single Axle Travel Trailers |
| 16RBCC | 21' 6" | 3,339 | 4,850 | Single Axle Travel Trailers |
| 18BHCC | 23' 3" | 3,939 | 4,900 | Single Axle Travel Trailers |
| 25BHCC | 28' 8" | 4,853 | 7,490 | Tandem Axle Travel Trailers |
| 21MLXC | 25' 10" | 5,318 | 7,665 | Tandem Axle Travel Trailers |
| 26RBXC | 28' 11" | 5,863 | 7,620 | Tandem Axle Travel Trailers |
| 27CC | 31' 7" | 6,413 | 7,805 | Tandem Axle Travel Trailers |
| 27REXC | 34' 0" | 7,343 | 9,860 | Tandem Axle Travel Trailers |
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
5,863 lbs dry against this plan's 6,413 lbs, a difference of 550 lbs.
7,343 lbs dry, 930 lbs more than this plan, and 2,517 lbs of cargo capacity against this one's 1,392 lbs.
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 42-gallon fresh tank is about 349 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 25% of the 27CC’s 1,392 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,043 lb. Across 8 Westbrook floorplans the water share runs 13% to 35%, and 1 gives up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Westbrook 16RBCC at 23% and Westbrook 18BHCC at 35%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
07 Where this floorplan sits
Closest sibling: the Westbrook 26RBXC, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 6 of the 8 fields both publish (this plan first): length 31 ft 7 in vs 28 ft 11 in; dry weight 6,413 lb vs 5,863 lb; GVWR 7,805 lb vs 7,620 lb; cargo capacity 1,392 lb vs 1,757 lb; hitch weight 805 lb vs 620 lb; grey tank 68 gal vs 66 gal. They match on fresh tank and black tank.
