dry weight 12,114 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.

Tongue weight, loaded~1,896 lb (14%)

Judged the way the app judges: estimated loaded weight against each vehicle's rating less a 10% margin, per model year, because the 429LFT'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

Description mentions bunk beds and a loft but no counts/dimensions; sleeps not published. Sleeping data added by a later pass: Sleeps 8 confirmed verbatim on two dealer pages. Bed/loft detail from Open Road RV'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
