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.

dry weight 11,849 lb + fresh water (43 gal, full) 359 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)13,900 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~1,861 lb (14%)
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 19 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 402LFT's published weights held steady.

Forest River (Mixed tier): Forest River's destination-trailer spinoff of the value-focused Puma nameplate — residential-style furnishings and large single-family floorplans up to 43ft, built for seasonal/park placement more than frequent highway 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 and bed detail not published. Sleeping data added by a later pass: Sleeps 8 confirmed verbatim on two dealer pages. Bed/loft detail from Camper Kingdom's unit description only, so med. 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: alt text: two entries and three slide outs; title matches
