Campsite Reserve is a Forest River personal label launched in late 2023 on the Hershey RV Present with its first mannequin, the 26CJ. They’ve since developed 4 extra fashions, descending in size and dry weight from the 26CJ

Let’s begin with a comparability of the specs, shifting from smallest on the left to largest on the proper: 

Particulars of the Campsite Reserve Floorplans

One of many distinctive particulars concerning the Campsite Reserve RVs is their mannequin numbers. You gained’t discover any RK (rear kitchen), BH (bunkhouse), or RL (rear residing) mannequin numbers on this lineup. 

Due to that, let’s do a short breakdown of the floorplans from smallest to largest. In every, the Camp King Mattress is on the entrance of the format, so we’ll spotlight the most important variations in the remainder of the floorplan beneath.  

Campsite Reserve 20AK

The smallest of the Campsite Reserve RVs, the 20AK situates the lavatory within the rear, off-camp-side nook, with the fridge on the again wall moved towards the camp aspect. The L-shaped kitchen’s bar high faces in direction of the entrance of the format, and the U-shaped dinette sits within the single slide-out throughout from the kitchen on the off-camp aspect. 

Campsite Reserve 23CC

The 23CC floorplan flips the bar high to face in direction of the rear of the coach. That locations the entry door again additional and permits the rear rest room to span the floorplan’s total width. The U-shaped dinette nonetheless sits throughout from the kitchen, however now the fridge sits within the slide-out ahead of the dinette. Throughout from the fridge is an leisure middle – with an electrical fire beneath – to the rear of the kitchen. There’s hidden storage behind the leisure middle and an out of doors kitchen with a mini fridge and griddle.

Campsite Reserve 23LM

Campsite Reserve’s 23LM floorplan retains the identical kitchen and residing space association because the 23CC, with the bar high going through the rear of the coach, the dinette and fridge within the slide-out, and the leisure middle with hidden cabinets ahead of the kitchen. The key distinction is the inclusion of two double-over-double bunks within the rear on the camp aspect. The lavatory can also be located lengthwise beside the bunks on the off-camp aspect. 

Campsite Reserve 25MW

Flipping the L-shaped kitchen once more so the bar high faces the entrance of the floorplan, the 25MW is designed with a full-width rear rest room. Throughout from the kitchen, the U-shaped dinette and a convertible couch are located within the single slide-out. The leisure middle with hidden storage lies throughout from the couch, and there’s a small closet simply in entrance of the only entry door.

Campsite Reserve 26CJ

The most important within the Campsite Reserve choice, the 26CJ is a rear bunkhouse floorplan with two entry doorways. One door enters the residing space ahead of the kitchen, and the opposite enters the rear, camp-side rest room. The double-over-double bunks with the pull-out storage drawer are beside the lavatory on the off-camp aspect. Ahead of the bunks and loo, the kitchen and residing space boast the identical format because the 25MW. 

Options of the Campsite Reserve Journey Trailers

Bear in mind the boilerplate options?

• Most storage in its class
• Largest home windows in its class
• Trade’s first pull-out drawer below a bunk

Now let’s dive into extra of what units the Campsite Reserve aside from the competitors: 

The X9 Chassis

In partnership with Lippert (LCI), Forest River developed a singular chassis for the Campsite Reserve. Boasting welded development, this chassis is designed to ship enhanced structural integrity in comparison with bolted or pop-riveted options. 

The chassis’ I-beam development delivers distinctive strength-to-weight ratios, shear power, and resistance to buckling. By means of the usage of cutting-edge software program and in depth monitor testing, the X9’s design has been examined to expertise roughly 25% much less deflection when in comparison with bolt-together chassis. 

Different advantages of the X9 chassis embrace improved dealing with, decreased noise and vibration, higher weight distribution, rust resistance, and simpler upkeep. 

Storage Galore

It’s not simply the quantity of storage within the Campsite Reserve fashions that impresses me. It’s the group and thoughtfulness of the place that storage is laid out. It’s just a little completely different in every floorplan, however the bunks all have that industry-first pull-out storage drawer as a substitute of an open storage space below a flip-up bunk (such as you’ll discover in lots of comparable fashions). 

Every has devoted storage areas for footwear, a trash can, and pet bowls. There are pull-out drawers below each aspect dinette cushions and stacked wardrobe closets on the off-camp aspect in the principle sleeping space. 

Plus, there are hidden cabinets behind the leisure middle in each mannequin however the 20AK (merely as a result of its dimension). Then, you’ve gotten a mega pass-through storage compartment outdoors for something you’ll be able to’t match inside. 

Considerate Kitchen Design

For starters, you get a built-in air fryer to craft the sorts of camp meals you’ve been dreaming about. However there are various different considerate components of the kitchen within the Campsite Reserve. You’ll discover hooks for hanging espresso cups or different objects neatly tucked contained in the valance above the window, for instance.

The deep, farmhouse-style sink is simply the sort I want I had in my journey trailer (nonetheless caught with the older, two-basin type). On the counter to the highest of the sink, they put in an inverted glass rinser, which I’d solely seen at my native watering gap earlier than stepping inside this journey trailer. Every mannequin additionally has loads of pantry storage for dried items and an excellent-sized fridge for perishables.

Camp King Mattress

By casting off the normal his/hers wardrobe closets that you simply discover in lots of major RV sleeping areas, Forest River matches a bigger mattress. That’s particularly good when you’ve got a furry companion who likes to climb into mattress with you in your tenting journeys. 

However I like what they did with the closets instead. They didn’t sacrifice dimension by stacking them and nonetheless supplied loads of overhead cupboard storage above the mattress. There’s a nightstand to the camp aspect of the mattress and two studying lights above. 

Trendy Electronics

The Campsite Reserve fashions have a tankless water heater and a 100-watt photo voltaic package deal as commonplace options. The opposite fashionable electronics embrace Bluetooth radio, an electrical fire (on some fashions), USB-C ports, further audio system, and a backup digicam.
