01 What Westbrook is
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 dry tongue weights of 415 to 1,060 lb.
Across the whole Westbrook roster the published dry weights run from 3,149 lbs to 7,343 lbs, cargo capacities from 961 lbs to 2,637 lbs, and dry tongue weights from 415 lbs to 1,060 lbs. Exterior lengths run 20 to 34 feet. Those are Forest River's figures for a standard build, captured from the factory roster block and confirmed against each floorplan's own factory page.
Forest River publishes a GVWR for 8 of the 8 floorplans, and on 8 of those the arithmetic ties out exactly: dry weight plus cargo capacity equals the published rating to the pound. That check is run on every plan before it is profiled here, and a plan that fails it is catalogued with the disagreement printed rather than quietly corrected.
02 Floorplans profiled in depth
8 of the 8 Westbrook floorplans are profiled in full below, each on its own page with the complete factory weight, dimension and tank block. The profiled set is spread across the weight range rather than taken from one end of it, so the lightest and heaviest plans in the line are both represented. Every plan profiled here publishes a full field set and, where Forest River publishes a GVWR, passes the dry-plus-cargo arithmetic check.
| Floorplan | Dry wt | Length | Cargo | Tongue wt | GVWR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 16CC | 3,149 | 20' 4" | 1,666 | 415 | 4,815 |
| 16RBCC | 3,339 | 21' 6" | 1,511 | 450 | 4,850 |
| 18BHCC | 3,939 | 23' 3" | 961 | 500 | 4,900 |
| 25BHCC | 4,853 | 28' 8" | 2,637 | 490 | 7,490 |
| 21MLXC | 5,318 | 25' 10" | 2,347 | 665 | 7,665 |
| 26RBXC | 5,863 | 28' 11" | 1,757 | 620 | 7,620 |
| 27CC | 6,413 | 31' 7" | 1,392 | 805 | 7,805 |
| 27REXC | 7,343 | 34' 0" | 2,517 | 1,060 | 9,860 |
Every figure in this table is a Forest River factory publication for 2027, captured twice - from the line roster block and from each floorplan's own factory page - and cross-checked field by field. Forest River publishes no sleeping capacity, axle count, tire size or MSRP for this line, so there are no columns for them.
03 Also in the 2027 line
The remaining 0 Westbrook floorplans are catalogued here from the factory's published figures. A plan is catalogued rather than profiled when the factory has not yet published its full field set, when its own published figures disagree with each other, or simply because the profiled set is capped. Nothing in this table is estimated.
| Floorplan | Dry wt | GVWR | Cargo | Tongue wt | Status |
|---|
Catalogued plans carry the factory figures Forest River publishes and nothing else. A row reading “Not published” means the factory does not publish that field for that plan - it is never a placeholder for a figure this site could not be bothered to find.
04 How to choose
Sort this line by the constraint you actually have. If the tow vehicle is fixed, start at the weight column: the lightest plan in the roster is the 16CC at 3,149 lbs dry and the heaviest is the 27REXC at 7,343 lbs, and that spread is wide enough that the two ends are not the same buying decision. If the tow vehicle is not fixed, sort by cargo capacity instead - the 25BHCC carries the most at 2,637 lbs, and payload is the number that runs out first on a long trip.
Do not sort by floorplan number. Forest River's codes encode length loosely and layout not at all, and this site does not decode them into layout claims. Two plans with adjacent numbers in this roster can differ by hundreds of pounds of dry weight and by more than that in dry tongue weight, which is the figure that determines what the tow vehicle has to be.
Where Forest River publishes a floorplan description it is quoted on the plan page and identified as factory marketing copy rather than a specification. Where it publishes none, the plan page says so instead of describing a layout that nobody has verified. That is the difference between a catalogue and a brochure.
05 What to weigh before buying
What this line is
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, dry 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.
The four fields Forest River does not publish
Sleeping capacity, axle count, tire size and MSRP are absent from Forest River's specification channel for Westbrook. They are absent from this site too. None of the four is estimated from the segment, inferred from a sibling floorplan or lifted from a dealer listing quoting its own guess back. Tire size matters most of the four: two codes a digit apart are different tires with different load ratings, and a misread is a safety claim.
Match the tow vehicle honestly
The plans here run from 3,149 lbs to 7,343 lbs dry with dry tongue weights of 415 lbs to 1,060 lbs. Dry weight is not towing weight - water, batteries, propane, gear and dealer-installed accessories all sit on top of it, and tongue weight rises with them. Forest River's own footnote calls unloaded weight an estimated average for a standard build. Read your own door sticker rather than a brochure maximum, and weigh the trailer loaded the way you actually travel.
06 What every Westbrook has
08 Westbrook Luxury
Forest River publishes a second, shorter Westbrook roster under the name Westbrook Luxury. It is the upper trim of the same line rather than a separate product line, so it is covered here on the Westbrook hub instead of on a page of its own, and each of its floorplans has its own profile page. All 3 are profiled: 3 of 3 publish a GVWR, and dry weight plus cargo capacity equals that published GVWR exactly on 3 of 3.
The Luxury roster starts where the base Westbrook roster is already well up its range - 6,083 lbs dry at the light end against 3,149 lbs for the base line's lightest plan - and runs to 8,008 lbs. Dry tongue weights are 745 to 1,125 lbs, which is the figure that decides the tow vehicle. Forest River publishes no sleeping capacity, axle count, tire size, MSRP or floorplan description for any Luxury plan in this channel, so those fields are absent on the plan pages rather than estimated.
| Floorplan | Dry wt | Length | Cargo | Tongue wt | GVWR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 245RKLC | 6,083 | 29' 0" | 1,662 | 745 | 7,745 |
| 285BHLC | 6,908 | 32' 7" | 2,000 | 840 | 8,908 |
| 305DBLC | 8,008 | 37' 9" | 1,917 | 1,125 | 9,925 |
Every figure in this table is a Forest River factory publication for 2027, captured twice - from the Westbrook Luxury roster block and from each floorplan's own factory page - and cross-checked field by field. The two captures agree on dry weight, cargo capacity, dry tongue weight and length for all 3 plans.
09 Recalls
NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns affecting this line. The earliest was reported 11 Jul 2025 and the most recent 8 Apr 2026. 0 of them are matched on NHTSA’s own model field; the other 2 name this line in the recall text and are marked named in text below, which is a weaker match and shown as one.
| Reported | Campaign | Component | What can go wrong |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 Apr 2026 | 26V221000 named in text | Equipment | Incorrect weight information may lead to unintentionally overloading the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. |
| 11 Jul 2025 | 25V464000 named in text | Equipment | A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire. |
Coverage is not complete, and this matters. These campaigns come from two passes over NHTSA’s public record: a query-by-query harvest of the recall API (1,556 queries, of which 0 failed and 242 returned an explicit zero), and a sweep of NHTSA’s complete recall flat file (325,650 rows), which added 46 campaigns the API harvest had missed. It missed them because the roster it worked from was built by a catalog endpoint that refuses most requests, so entire manufacturer names were never asked about — NHTSA files several Forest River sub-brands as makes of their own. Two limits remain: NHTSA sometimes files a roster under a parent name, and some matches below rest on the wording of the recall rather than its model field. Campaigns affecting only pre-2005 units fall outside this catalog’s range and are not listed. This page is a starting point, not a clearance. Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy, and again before you tow.
10 Owner-reported problems
A sweep of NHTSA’s complete complaint file — every report filed since 1967, matched on NHTSA’s own model field under every name this site publishes for the line — found no complaint naming this line. Treat that as no report found, not as a clean record: owners file under whatever name they were sold, and a newer or lower-volume line simply has fewer owners to file.
How this count is drawn. A report is counted here only when NHTSA’s own model field names this line. What the owner typed in the description is never used to attribute a report: our line names are ordinary English words, and an owner writing “imagine my surprise when the axle went” or naming the state of Montana is not reporting a Grand Design Imagine or a Keystone Montana.
Read these as reports, not as findings. Complaints are submitted by owners and NHTSA does not verify them; no complaint here has been confirmed as a defect, and none of them is a recall. The sample is also self-selected — only owners motivated to file appear in it — so a high count tracks how many units a line sold at least as much as how well it was built. Use the pattern, not the total: a component that keeps recurring is worth inspecting on any used unit. File or search complaints at NHTSA.
