Forest River Shockwave 4017GX
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 15,674 lb + fresh water (150 gal, full) 1,251 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 4017GX's published weights held steady. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.

Forest River (Mixed tier): Forest River's Shockwave travel trailer toy haulers use vacuum-bonded aluminum-framed fiberglass sidewalls, an Alumifoil-insulated enclosed underbelly, and full-width rear garages with front bedrooms, positioned as a mid-market toy hauler line.
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.
Sleeping data added by a later pass: RV Corral, Campers Inn and Royal Coach RV all list Sleeps 7 for the Shockwave 4017GX (45'0", 15,674 lb -- matches Sandstorm 4017GX weight/length exactly). NOTE: the Sandstorm-badged 4017GX's dealer listings say Sleeps 8 -- same conflict pattern as the 3513GX above. 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'
