2026 Forest River Wildwood X-Lite24RLXL

The Wildwood X-Lite 24RLXL leaves Forest River's factory at 5,063 lbs dry with 2,487 lbs of cargo capacity. Forest River publishes no GVWR for this line, so the loaded rating is not quoted on this page and is not computed from the other two figures. What the cargo number covers is defined by the factory: fresh water, gear, food, batteries and every dealer-installed accessory come out of it. Fresh water is 8.3 lb per gallon, so filling the 44-gallon fresh tank spends 365 lbs of the 2,487 lbs before anything else goes in.

Forest River’s 2026 Wildwood / X-Lite brochure draws the 24RLXL with a Versa-Tilt custom king bed with a closet and overhead cabinets at the front. Mid-coach: a bath with a walk-in shower and a walk-in closet; an entertainment center with a fireplace; a dinette in a slide under a panoramic window; and a kitchen with a microwave, a fridge and overhead cabinets. At the rear: a sofa with overhead cabinets. It shows one slide-out and a 16-foot awning. Outside it labels full pass-through storage. Layouts change with options; check the unit itself.

Tongue weight is 550 lbs, 11% 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: 70 gallons of grey and black capacity against 44 gallons of fresh water, so fresh water runs out first (tank sizes by length).

Against the rest of the Wildwood X-Lite roster this is the 1st of 10 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 5,063 lbs to 6,688 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 5,063 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 6,307 lbs. Forest River publishes no loaded rating for this line, so the ceiling is the one on the trailer’s own weight label (how to read trailer weights).

Forest River’s line listing and this floorplan’s own factory page agree on all 4 shared figures. No GVWR is published for this line, so dry plus cargo has no rating to check against. A missing row means Forest River does not publish that figure (how figures are verified).

Forest River's own description of this floorplan reads: “The 24RLXL is an extra-light travel trailer that comes in at 28' 11" and just over 5,000 lbs. The master bedroom features a ton of storage, including dedicated C-pap cubbies! The bathroom provides loads of storage as well, plus a walk-in shower. The kitchen is well-appointed with modern appliances and an oversized 11 CU. FT. refrigerator, fireplace, and U-dinette.” That is the factory's marketing copy rather than a specification, and nothing in it is treated as a verified field on this page - layout descriptions, sleeping arrangements and feature claims in factory copy are not carried into the spec table unless the factory also publishes them as specifications.

How the 24RLXL differs from the other nine Wildwood X-Lite floorplans. Most distinctive first. Sibling pages may cover other model years than this one (2026). How these ranks are worked out.

• Cargo capacity, 2,487 lb: largest of ten; next is the 240BHXL (2,227 lb).
• Tongue weight, 550 lb: lightest of ten; next is the 25RLXL (565 lb).
• Black tank, 40 gal: largest of ten; next is the 240BHXL (32 gal).
• Length, 28 ft 11 in: third-shortest of ten, between the 240BHXL (28 ft 10 in) and the 25ICE (29 ft 10 in).
• Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 10.9%: fourth-smallest of ten, between the 240BHXL (10.7%) and the 25ICE (11.3%).
• Exterior height, 10 ft 5 in: tallest of ten, level with the 23ZEN and 25RLXL; next are the 240BHXL, 25ICE and four others (10 ft 4 in).
• Grey tank, 30 gal: shared with the 273QBXL and 28ICE; of ten, one smaller and six larger, nearest the 28VBXL (28 gal) and the 23ZEN (40 gal).

Wildwood X-Lite is the value-tier travel trailer in the Wildwood family, seventeen published floorplans from 3,836 to 8,143 lb dry on lengths of 22 feet 8 inches to 34 feet 7 inches. Tongue weight runs 520 to 965 lb across the whole roster, which is light for the length. Eight of the seventeen plans are dealer-stock-only, including a separate West Coast dealer-stock grouping the factory lists on its own. Forest River publishes no GVWR for any X-Lite floorplan.

A full 44-gallon fresh tank is about 365 lb of water, 15% of the 24RLXL’s 2,487 lb cargo capacity, leaving 2,122 lb. Across 10 Wildwood X-Lite floorplans the water share runs 15% to 37%, and this plan’s is the lowest. Nearest on that share: Wildwood X-Lite 240BHXL at 16%.
