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
~20,715 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 19,256 lb + fresh water (79 gal, full) 659 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 around23,020 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)24,000 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~4,556 lb (22%)
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 9 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 42FSKG's published weights held steady. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.

FINDING ONE

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.

OUR TAKE

This is the line's toy-hauler floorplan (site categorizes it under 'Toy Haulers'). Sleeping data added by a later pass: RVingPlanet dealer listing, "Sleeps 4" 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: floorplan alt text: has one entry and five slide outs
