No slide-outs means fewer mechanical worries and easier site setup, yet the 171BHCE still fits a full bunkhouse and a complete bath into 23 feet, a genuinely efficient use of space. The Camping Edition Southwest trim brings updated interior styling that punches above the price point, which is where Salem Cruise Lite has built its reputation. It's a light tow at under 4,800 lbs loaded, so a half-ton truck handles it comfortably. Just worth knowing: like most entry-level Forest River builds, a pre-trip walkthrough and a couple of early inspections go a long way toward catching any small fit-and-finish items before they become bigger ones.
