Forest River Campsite Reserve 26CJ
The maker never published an MSRP for this floorplan. Unknown is not cheap. Treat any asking price against comparable models, not against zero.
dry weight 6,421 lb + fresh water (52 gal, full) 434 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb. Brochure dry weight omits water, propane, batteries and your gear; this estimate doesn't.
Judged the way the app judges: estimated loaded weight against each vehicle's rating less a 10% margin, per model year, because the 26CJ's published weights held steady.

Forest River (Mixed tier): Forest River's Campsite Reserve is a stick-built travel-trailer and toy-hauler line with a Tufflex PVC roof membrane and plywood decking, priced as an accessible family/toy-hauling option rather than a premium build.
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.
also has bunk beds of unpublished count, omitted rather than guessed.

Slide-out count added by a later pass: floorplan alt text: has two entries and one slide out
