For taking vacations, some times we yearn to leave really possible – simply hook up & then take off. For people who belong to this category, there is 2012 Forest River Vibe 826VRB. It makes sure that you get away fast.
Vibe comes with 9 floor plans for choosing from the 6500 & 800 Series. Recently, I got chance for taking closer look at 826VRB floor plan, which has exterior length of about 28’11″ & exterior height of about 10’4″. The dry hitch weight is 578 lbs, the unloaded automobile weight is 5,569 lbs, GVWR weight is 7,569 lbs & cargo carrying capacity is 2,000 lbs. For the water, this Vibe comes with gray water capacity of about 62 gallons, black water capacity of about 30 gallons & fresh water capacity of about 38 gallons.

Compact & sleek, 2012 Forest River Vibe 826VRB exterior has high gloss coat of gel on sidewalls & roof, with light weight, well laminated walls & floor. Since it’s compact, this Vibe’s V-shaped design has 75 cubic feet of extra space on interior, and this means that you will get bigger bath room, bed room & kitchen, along with full interior height @ front end of travel trailer. As it is just about the aerodynamics, V-design goes through the wind, and you get better efficiency of fuel. Air flow on font & sides of this Vibe helps in deflecting bugs & road debris, and this improves the towability & also keeps your trailer clean.
Built through laminated cage of aluminum & steel powder coated frame, this Vibe has dense foam insulation for keeping every thing inside very comfortable. The one-piece full rubber roof stands to elements & repel water, & its leaf spring heavy-duty suspension system smoothes any bumps on way. After getting to the destination, the 4 stabilizer jacks make sure that you are set up safely and easily.
Other features on exterior which are handy include dual enclosed 30 lb. LP bottle, big folding entry assist handles of grab, wheel well stainless steel covers, patio light along with the amber lens & switch on interior, entry door step, radius entry & baggage oversized doors, vented enclosed LP tanks, vented enclosed compartment of battery & safety tinted glass windows. For upgrades, you get to add on the outside shower, power or manual awning, control sway package of hitch, tongue power jack & 13.5 BTU ducted AC.

The compact still roomy, 826VRB is just about making most of the space available. Vibe that I took tour had Cambria Earth decor, complemented with lots of Maple Cognac glazed cabinets. I really liked the linoleum flooring which looks like hard wood – and I couldn’t tell difference. Flooring is glued & is really easy to clean, and you never need to worry regarding scuffing of floors like on the real hard wood flooring. Adding to hominess of the travel trailer are the window over valences & fabric pleated shades.
Kitchen of Vibe is really cute, it isn’t really spacious, but then, I doubt you will whip up course of 7 meals while on road. It gets job done along with oven, 3-burner cooktop & six cubic foot refrigerator. The kitchen is tiny but still you get plenty of space for the cabinetry. For sundry items, there is pantry. If you like speedy meals, there is an option to get microwave onboard.
In living area, sofa will pulls out for the extra space of sleeping. Broom closet has extra space of storage, and also under seats at dinette that is U-shaped. If there is need for entertainment, you get an option to upgrade along with 26 inches flat screen LCD TV & FM/AM/ DVD/CD/MP3 player.
Bedroom is separated by sliding doors from adjacent bathroom. There is some of quality ZZZ’s on queen-sized 60” x 74” bed which comes along with hypoallergenic Dual Density foam pillow top mattress & that is flanked along with wardrobe for 1 side & night stand on other.
My last stop for this tour is bath room. This bath room comes with 2 entries to give you easy access. There is also pedal-flush porcelain toilet & neo-single shower along with doors of glass & big mirrored cabinet of medicine above vanity sink.
2012 Forest River Vibe 826VRB Travel Trailer which I reviewed had selling price of $27,195. Go to the manufacturer’s Website to learn more about it.
