Forest River Cascade 27GHC
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 6,603 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 27GHC's published weights held steady.

Forest River (Mixed tier): Value-tier Forest River destination-trailer/toy-hauler line built on tongue-and-groove plywood flooring and a Tufflex PVC seamless roof membrane over stick-and-tin sidewalls (fiberglass/gel-coat and Black Label trim offered as upgrades); several 2026 floorplans still show TBD specs at publication and no page states an enclosed underbelly.
Findable: a few listed nationwide most weeks. Why: Forest River is a volume manufacturer; only one model year. Estimated from build volume and production span, not a count of live listings.
