Forest River Inc. announced the success of its 2025 Forest River Expo. This year’s event brought more than 4,500 people together at the heart of RV country and combined new ideas with a fun Nashville theme that will be remembered by those who attended. With headline performances by Joss Ross, Ernest and Ashley Cooke, the expo set the stage for what has become the “Superbowl” of the RV industry, Forest River said in a release.
This year’s expo was more than just a showcase of products and entertainment; it was a bold statement about Forest River’s vision for the future. Attendees experienced product launches, dealer roundtable discussions, vendor exhibits and exclusive influencer appearances, all of which spotlighted the company’s commitment to staying ahead of industry trends. Forest River said the record-breaking turnout demonstrated its ability to spur innovation, strengthen dealer partnerships and influence RV travel for a new generation of adventurers.
Over the course of four days, the expo brought together dealers, partners, media and industry leaders for engaging experiences and first looks at what’s to come in the industry. Forest River displayed a full range of products from Class A motorhomes to adaptable travel trailers, including Coachmen’s electric RVEX, a Class B model that redefines mobility with sustainable energy and cutting-edge technology. Additionally, attendees got the chance to interact directly with Forest River’s engineering and design teams, learning firsthand about the company’s commitment to customer-first innovation, quality initiatives and future road maps.
“This year’s Forest River Expo not only reflected our commitment to quality and innovation, but also the amazing relationships we have with our dealer partners,” said Doug Gaeddert, president and CEO. “The energy, the record attendance and the response to our new lineups couldn’t have been better. We’re already looking forward to next year.”
Featured Model Launches at Expo 2025
Forest River displayed more than 440 floorplans, featuring a mix of new products and innovative designs:
- Coachmen RVEX: Coachmen unveiled the RVEX, an all-electric Class B motorhome. With a projected range of over 250 miles and a separate lithium power system, the RVEX provides modern efficiency without the need for fuel stops. The interior features a well-thought-out kitchen and bathroom, as well as multipurpose seating that can be transformed into a king-size bed. Coachmen’s dedication to sustainability and innovation in the RV business is exemplified by the RVEX’s lightweight construction, solar integration, and aerodynamic design.
- Dynamax Isata 5 Series 30FW Motorhome: Behind the wheel of the Isata 5, road trips become effortless with a plush truck cab, powerful Cummins diesel and 4×4 strength. And when the adventure calls for more, the Extreme Package delivers — complete with smart suspension, 40-inch tires and rugged off-road upgrades that let you chase the road less traveled.
- r•pod Unmapped Series: r•pod travel trailers are a great option for a variety of tow-vehicles, offering reasonably priced luxury at the lowest tow weight in its class. The new r•pod Un-Mapped Series features six new floorplans that deliver bigger layouts without losing the iconic r•pod style. Designed with full aluminum framing, Azdel exteriors and flush-floor slides, the series adds comfort and durability while introducing standout features like the Trailgate outdoor bar, Bar 2 Table system and a king-size bed option. It’s a fresh take on a fan favorite, Forest River said, built for travelers who want more space without sacrificing adventure.
- East to West Acclaim: The new Acclaim travel trailer makes RV living more affordable without sacrificing quality. Built with a lightweight frame, smart layouts and durable construction, Acclaim offers 10 versatile floorplans — ranging from cozy couple’s models to family-friendly bunk designs — so travelers of all kinds can enjoy the freedom of the road with confidence and style.
- Lost Pines: Lost Pines is a new upscale luxury destination trailer that draws inspiration from Northern Michigan’s timeless tranquility and untamed beauty. Lost Pines combines stunning natural beauty with carefully designed furnishings to create a getaway where guests may enjoy nature without giving up luxury, Forest River said.
