Forest River · Toy Hauler

The difference that matters

The hitch decides this pair. The 2715B is a bumper-pull toy hauler that tows from a standard receiver; the 286B is a fifth wheel that needs a bed-mounted hitch. The 286B weighs 9,524 lb dry against 8,393, and its 14,824 lb GVWR is 1,324 lb higher.

The fifth wheel also carries more liquid: 150 gal fresh and 97 gray against 102 and 80, with 40 gal black on each. It adds a 40 gal fuel station with generator prep for running toys and power off the grid. Both carry over 5,000 lb of cargo capacity, both sleep six, and each comes with a Euro garage bed, 200 W of solar and a 60K BTU tankless water heater.

The 2715B is longer at 34.2 ft against 32.3 and sells for around $57,000 against around $64,000 for the 286B.
