New 2026 Forest River Campsite Reserve 17LS — Alvarado, TX

The 2026 Campsite Reserve 17LS is Forest River's travel trailer on the Bunkhouse floor plan. This one is new and listed at $20,425. Dry weight is 4,304 lb, well under the 5,550 lb median for the category. At 23 ft 10 in it is a little shorter than most travel trailers (28 ft 11 in).

Expect roughly 5,100 lb once it is loaded for a trip. That calls for a half-ton pickup, with 10–15% of that on the hitch landing on the tow vehicle — check the payload sticker rather than the tow rating — payload runs out first on half-tons.

GVWR is 5,625 lb, leaving about 1,321 lb for water, propane, gear and passengers before you reach the limit. A single slide-out opens up the main living area when you are parked. Sleeping capacity is 7 — more than the 5 typical of the category.

That is a 43% reduction on the $35,886 MSRP — $15,461 off. It comes in under the $24,250 category median. We have flagged it as a great deal against comparable listings.

Fitted equipment includes interior - serengeti. It ships from Alvarado, TX door-to-door to any of the 50 states, inspected before it leaves, at one transparent price with no dealer fees.
