Forest River Salem FSX 269VC
dry weight 7,363 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 269VC's published weights held steady.

Forest River (Caution tier): Forest River's price-leader travel trailer - single-axle wood-framed boxes plus a toy-hauler branch, cheap to buy and thin where it counts.
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.
GVWR derived from published UVW + CCC; the page does not state GVWR directly. tier, bn and mat inherited from the 24 Salem FSX records already in the catalog (tier 24/24, mat 22/24 agreement); they are line-level properties, not read for this floorplan. Weights, dimensions and tanks are read from the manufacturer's spec table (src). Sleeps and bed layout from a separate research pass (conf med). Production span is what the census observed: seen in MY2026, and the line is served through MY2027. Absence from the newest year closes the span rather than leaving it open; it is not by itself proof of discontinuation. Slide-out count added by a later pass: img alt text: 'toy hauler that has one entry and one slide out.' Raw HTML.
