Used 2023 Forest River Cardinal Red 36MB-RED — New Braunfels, TX

This used 2023 Forest River Cardinal Red 36MB-RED is a fifth wheel on the Bunkhouse floor plan, listed at $41,309. At 42 ft 7 in it is slightly longer than the category median (39 ft). Dry weight is 11,538 lb, close to the 12,195 lb median for the category.

Expect roughly 13,600 lb once it is loaded for a trip. That calls for a one-ton pickup, ideally a dually, with 15–25% of that through the kingpin landing on the tow vehicle — this is firmly heavy-duty territory and the truck matters more than the trailer.

GVWR is 14,335 lb, leaving about 2,797 lb for water, propane, gear and passengers before you reach the limit. 4 slide-outs widen the interior considerably at camp. Sleeping capacity is 6 — more than the 4 typical of the category.

It is listed $10,215 below the $51,524 MSRP, a 20% saving. It comes in under the $48,653 category median.

Fitted equipment includes side aisle bath w/shower, outside shower, sofa overhead compartments and hide-a-bed sofa. It ships from New Braunfels, TX door-to-door to any of the 50 states, inspected before it leaves, at one transparent price with no dealer fees.
