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
~4,926 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people
dry weight 3,867 lb + fresh water (31 gal, full) 259 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 around5,475 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)6,409 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~366 lb (7% — low, watch for sway)
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS — 73 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 232's published weights held steady.

FINDING ONE
Patient search — weeks of watching, and probably some travel. Why: Forest River is a volume manufacturer; only one model year; 18 years out of production; an uncommon body style. Estimated from build volume and production span — not a count of live listings.
THE READ
One-year plan from the early Roo catalogue. No published MSRP found.
