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

~15,740 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 14,314 lb + fresh water (75 gal, full) 626 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb. Brochure dry weight omits water, propane, batteries and your gear; this estimate doesn't.

You want a tow rating around17,490 lb (10% margin)

GVWR (the sticker maximum)16,564 lb

Tongue weight, loaded~3,101 lb (20%)

WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 18 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 41FWC's published weights held steady. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.

HOW IT'S BUILT: 2/5

WallsLaminated fiberglass

FrameWood

RoofStandard

UnderbellyEnclosed

Forest River (Better tier): Forest River's park-model-style fifth wheel spun off the premium Cedar Creek nameplate for stationary/destination use, with residential features like a washer/dryer, wine bar and mudroom entry rather than frequent long-distance towing.

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

Sleeps count not published; loft bed dimensions not given. Sleeping data added by a later pass: poulsborv.com and a second independent listing (RVshare) both describe king bed + two lofts + trundle sofa 'comfortably accommodates up to eight guests' 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: Image alt text in raw HTML: 'The Cedar Creek Cottage Fifth Wheels 41FWC floorplan has one entry and two slide outs.'
