2027 Salem 27RLHD

The 2027 Forest River Salem 27RLHD is a rear living travel trailer for two, available to order at Couch’s RV Nation. The living room fills the back, and a Custom King bed gets its own room in the nose. Two slide-outs open the middle for a kitchen island, a dinette and a pair of recliners.

This travel trailer fits couples who spend more of the day in the living room than in the bedroom. There are no bunks, so the back of the floorplan belongs to you instead of a bunk room. For anyone weighing a couples camper, the rear living room is the detail that stands out. It makes a comfortable home base for long trips, with spare berths when the grandkids visit.

The nose holds the bedroom. The Custom King bed runs front to back under overhead cabinets. A wardrobe and shelves line the roadside, and a second wardrobe and a nightstand sit on the curb side. The bedroom door opens onto a short hall. The full bath sits on the roadside of that hall, with a shower, toilet, sink and linen cabinet behind a pocket door. The main entry door opens on the curb side, right beside the bath.

Past the bath, the roadside slide holds the kitchen. The refrigerator sits at its forward end, followed by the microwave, the cooktop and overhead cabinets. A hidden pantry tucks into the back of that slide. In the middle of the floor stands a free-standing island with the sink, and you can walk all the way around it. The result is a home-style kitchen where the cook still faces the room.

The curb-side slide carries a booth dinette and two recliners. Along the rear wall, a sofa sits between two end tables below the back window. An angled entertainment center with a fireplace fills the rear roadside corner. Counting the sofa and the dinette as guest berths, the 27RLHD sleeps 6 with the king. The recliners are for sitting only.

The Best In Class Value Package covers a lot of ground in this well-appointed floorplan. Its water heater is the on-demand tankless type. A triple-step entry, TFL cabinet doors and back-up camera prep come with it. Underneath, a powder coated I-beam frame, a cambered chassis and nitrogen filled tires carry the load. For cooling, the order upgrades to a 15,000 BTU air conditioner. It also adds 50A electrical service with the wiring and bracing for a second one. The Heated & Enclosed Accessibelly is on this build too, for cooler spring and fall nights.

Can a half-ton pull the 27RLHD? It is listed as half-ton towable, but the real answer depends on your truck. Dry weight, meaning the empty trailer as it leaves the factory before water, propane and gear, is 7,958 lbs. Cargo capacity is 2,000 lbs, and the hitch weight is 975 lbs. Compare your ratings to that dry weight plus everything you load. Your truck’s door-jamb payload sticker is the place to start before you tow any trailer. Length is 33 feet 8 inches, height is 11 feet 2 inches, and width is 96 inches. The fresh tank holds 40 gallons, with 60 for gray water and 30 for black.

Is a rear living layout good for two people? For most couples, yes. With the bath between the bed and the sofa, a late movie in back stays well away from the bedroom. Is this Salem roomy enough for two on long trips? It is, with two slide-outs, a hidden pantry for groceries and wardrobes on both sides of the king bed. The 60-gallon gray tank helps when you stay put for a while.
