WHAT ONE COSTS
—price not published

The maker never published an MSRP for this floorplan. Unknown is not cheap. Treat any asking price against comparable models, not against zero.

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~10,345 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 9,086 lb + fresh water (55 gal, full) 459 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb. Brochure dry weight omits water, propane, batteries and your gear; this estimate doesn't.

GVWR (the sticker maximum)11,086 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~1,214 lb (12%)
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 30 OF 95

Judged the way the app judges: estimated loaded weight against each vehicle's rating less a 10% margin, per model year, because the 33DBDS's published weights held steady.

Forest River (Mixed tier): Forest River's tandem-axle travel trailer line pitched at a big-box price point, with tongue-and-groove composite flooring over plywood bases and a mix of couples and bunkhouse floorplans; Forest River publishes weights and tank capacities but never sleeping counts or bed sizes.

FINDING ONE

Findable: a few listed nationwide most weeks. Why: Forest River is a volume manufacturer; only one model year; still in production. Estimated from build volume and production span, not a count of live listings.

OUR TAKE

Sleeping data added by a later pass: Airstream of Greensboro dealer listing: 'Sleeps 9', 'Available Beds: RV Queen', 'Number of Bunks: 2' (queen-size bunks), plus a 60in trundle sofa. RV Guide had no page for this model/year. Collected from a census gap: this line had no catalogue record at all. tier, bn and mat are the collecting pass's editorial read, not inherited from siblings. Slide-out count added by a later pass: raw curl fetch: '3DBDS floorplan has two entries and two slide outs'
