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.

The 178BHSK makes clever use of its compact interior. Up front, the Murphy bed provides a comfortable sleeping area at night while converting into additional seating during the day. In the rear, double-over-double bunks with storage give the kids their own dedicated space without requiring you to convert the dinette every evening.
The U-shaped dinette sits in a slide-out, opening up the center of the camper while providing plenty of room for meals, games, and additional sleeping space. The kitchen includes a 12V refrigerator, cooktop, microwave, sink, cabinetry, and an oversized kitchen window, while the full rear bathroom provides a shower, toilet, and storage.
Outside, an exterior camp kitchen lets you keep the burgers, bacon, and campground cooking outdoors. There's also full pass-through storage, a power awning with LED lighting, exterior speakers, spare tire, stabilizer jacks, black-tank flush, and convenient exterior storage.
The 178BHSK also features practical construction such as a 5/8" tongue-and-groove plywood floor, walkable roof construction, steel I-beam frame, radial tires, residential fiberglass insulation, and one-piece PVC roof membrane.
The 2025 Forest River Salem FSX 178BHSK is an excellent choice for families who want bunkhouse versatility without hauling around a huge travel trailer. It's also a great fit for first-time RV buyers, weekend campers, state-park travelers, and anyone who values a camper that's easier to maneuver and store.
The combination of a Murphy bed, double-over-double bunks, U-shaped dinette slide, full bathroom, outside kitchen, pass-through storage, and compact 22' 11" overall length gives this little Salem an impressive amount of versatility.
Small enough to keep camping simple. Big enough to bring the whole crew.
