The 178BHSK is one of those floor plans that makes you wonder how Forest River fit so much into 23 feet, a Murphy bed up front, bunk beds in the back, a U-shaped dinette, and a full outdoor kitchen all share the space without feeling cramped. That outdoor kitchen is a genuine entertainer, and the tankless on-demand water heater means you're not rationing hot showers even with a full crew. Inside, the no-carpet luxury vinyl flooring and 12V black glass refrigerator feel a cut above typical entry-level, and the panoramic windows keep things bright. The single-axle setup makes it easy to tow with smaller trucks or SUVs, and the Salem FSX has earned a loyal following among families who want bunkhouse versatility without committing to a big rig.

• Queen Murphy bed system: Gives you a comfortable main sleeping area at night without sacrificing valuable daytime seating.
• Oversized rear bunks: The double-size bunks provide considerably more room than traditional narrow RV bunk beds.
• U-shaped dinette: A great gathering spot for breakfast, rainy-day games, or evening card battles after the campfire burns down.
• Outdoor cooking area: Keeps the cook outside with everyone else instead of stuck inside preparing dinner.
• Power awning: Creates a comfortable outdoor living area and campsite hangout.
• Hot/cold exterior shower: Handy for muddy shoes, sandy feet, pets, and cleaning camping gear.
• Black tank flush: Makes routine campground cleanup and maintenance easier.
• LP quick-connect: Convenient for compatible grills and other propane-powered camping accessories.
• Compact footprint: At less than 23 feet long, the 178BHSK offers impressive camping versatility without becoming difficult to maneuver or store.
The real strength of the Salem FSX 178BHSK is its ability to provide multiple dedicated living zones in such a compact trailer. Instead of choosing between a permanent bed and daytime seating, the Murphy bed provides both. The kitchen slide creates additional floor space, while the U-shaped dinette gives the family a genuine place to gather.
Then there are those double-over-double bunks in the rear. They provide plenty of sleeping room for the kids while also giving owners additional storage flexibility when the bunks aren't being used.
Add the outdoor kitchen and you've got a small travel trailer that's designed to spend just as much time enjoying the campsite as you do inside the RV.
The 2022 Forest River Salem FSX 178BHSK is an excellent choice for young families, first-time RV buyers, couples who occasionally bring guests or grandchildren, and campers looking to downsize without giving up bunk beds.
Its combination of a 3,749-lb. dry weight, sub-23-foot length, double bunks, Murphy bed, slide-out, and outdoor kitchen makes it particularly appealing for families who want maximum camping capability from a smaller travel trailer.
