Double-over-double bunks are the headline here, and at just under 22 feet and around 3,900 lbs, this is a genuinely easy trailer to tow for families who don't want to step up to a larger rig. Forest River throws in some legitimately useful upgrades as standard. The 13,500 BTU roof-mounted AC is a meaningful step up from the side-mount 8,000 BTU unit, and the refrigerator runs 36% larger than other LE models in the lineup. The whole floor is luxury vinyl (no carpet anywhere), and the sofa seating, residential high-rise kitchen faucet, and backup camera prep round out a surprisingly practical interior for the price point.

The 174DBLE makes smart use of every inch. Double-over-double rear bunks give the kids their own dedicated sleeping space, while parents get a permanent bed up front. The open lounge and table provide a place for meals, games, or hanging out without requiring a large slide-out.
The kitchen keeps things simple with a two-burner cooktop, microwave, 3.3 cu. ft. refrigerator, sink, and storage, while the full bathroom means you aren't dependent on the campground bathhouse. A 13,500-BTU rooftop A/C and 60,000-BTU tankless water heater add some surprisingly big-camper conveniences to this lightweight FSX.
Outside, the 8-foot power awning, full-size spare tire, power rear stabilizer jacks, backup-camera prep, rooftop solar prep, and dual-battery prep add campground practicality. Construction includes a 5/8" tongue-and-groove real plywood floor, 3/8" roof decking, carpet-free one-piece flooring, and pet-friendly ductless floors.
At just 3,229 lbs. dry, this Salem FSX may work with a variety of properly equipped SUVs and light-duty tow vehicles. However, the relatively modest 706-lb. cargo capacity makes careful loading especially important. Always compare the trailer's actual loaded weight and tongue weight with the tow vehicle's payload, hitch, axle, tire, GVWR, and GCWR ratings.
The 2026 Forest River Salem FSX 174DBLE is a great choice for families who want dedicated bunks and a real bathroom without towing a 30-foot camper. It's also a strong option for first-time RV buyers who want a straightforward camper without slides or complicated setup.
With double-size bunks, a permanent front bed, full bathroom, tankless hot water, rooftop A/C, and a compact 21' 8" footprint, it delivers the camping essentials while staying refreshingly simple.
Double bunks. Full bathroom. Just 21' 8" long. Small camper, plenty of family adventure.
