2027 Forest River Westbrook27REXC

The Westbrook 27REXC has 2,517 lbs of cargo capacity between 7,343 lbs dry and its 9,860 lbs GVWR, 26% 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 27REXC shows, at the front, a camp king bed between wardrobes with overhead cabinets, beside a bath with a shower and a wardrobe with washer/dryer prep. Mid-coach: a kitchen slide with a hidden pantry, a fridge and an air fryer below the cooktop, a kitchen island with stools, and a jackknife sofa and desk in a second slide (theater seating is an option). At the rear: a hide-a-bed sofa across the rear wall and an angled entertainment center with a fireplace. It draws two slide-outs. Outside it labels drop-frame super pass-through storage. Layouts change with options; check the unit itself.

Tongue weight is 1,060 lbs, 14% 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 8th of 8 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 3,149 lbs to 7,343 lbs. It is the heaviest plan in the line, so the tow vehicle should be settled before the floorplan is.

Plan the tow on loaded weight, not the 7,343 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 8,601 lbs, and the published GVWR of 9,860 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. 27REXC is a Westbrook designation, and this site does not decode the code itself into a layout claim.

How the 27REXC differs from the other seven Westbrook floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

• Dry weight, 7,343 lb: heaviest of eight; next is the 27CC (6,413 lb).

• Tongue weight, 1,060 lb: heaviest of eight; next is the 27CC (805 lb).
• Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 14.4%: largest of eight; next is the 16RBCC (13.5%).
• Length, 34 ft: longest of eight; next is the 27CC (31 ft 7 in).
• Exterior height, 11 ft 1 in: tallest of eight; next are the 21MLXC, 25BHCC and two others (10 ft 8 in).

Next to the 27CC, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 27REXC is 930 lb heavier by dry weight, has a GVWR 2,055 lb higher, has 1,125 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 255 lb heavier, is 2 ft 5 in longer and stands 5 in taller; the two publish the same fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

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.

A full 42-gallon fresh tank is about 349 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 14% of the 27REXC’s 2,517 lb cargo capacity, leaving 2,168 lb. Across 8 Westbrook floorplans the water share runs 13% to 35%, and 6 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Westbrook 25BHCC at 13% and Westbrook 21MLXC at 15%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
