Forest River Flagstaff Micro Lite 21FBRS
Still in production. A used 2023 would run roughly $27,200.
dry weight 4,472 lb + fresh water (54 gal, full) 450 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 21FBRS's published weights changed mid-run.
