Is This a Travel Trailer or Park Model? - Salem 36BHBS

Good information, thanks!!

Yes, it does have holding tanks, which is a good thing!

And my payload is just under 3k, so I should be good in that department.

I would consider that TT a Park Model. I did a bit of internet searching and it does have holding tanks. A true "Park Model" will not have holding tanks, and the toilet will be a residential toilet and plumbing is directly to a sewer.

Your Salem has an RV toilet, and holding tanks, so I think I would call this a "cross-over park model!" :)

From my experiences, the difference between park models and an Travel Trailer:

Park Model has:

Sliding patio door
Residential refrigerator
Residential style toilet
No holding tanks
Real furniture (or stand alone furniture ... not built in ... like Dinettes).

Your's has a mix of both, basically a regular Travel Trailer with the Sliding door. I would still put this with "Park Model" though.

Salem is a good brand of camper. It's not a "top of the line" camper that a movie star would ever own, but Salem's are good, (Mid-range / mid-grade), depending upon the model style).

I believe they call those park trailers. Still a TT but made to be parked in one spot. The only thing to consider is the CCC! Some have a very low CCC because they weren't meant to be towed all over loaded up.

The next step up from my trailer when I bought was a park trailer and its CCC was I think 450lbs! Not much there.

I just looked yours up. It has a 3k lb CCC. So it seems well suited for towing. I did notice it only shows a dry TW of 720lbs and a dry weight of 7900 lbs. make sure you load it heavy up front to get it back to a 12% TW.

Forest River calls it a TT but it sure is big and will limit where you can go. Your truck and trailer will be almost 60' together.
