At the 2026 Florida RV SuperShow, the Day Hiker from the Six stopped by the Coachmen display (Forest River) to check out the 7-foot-wide Remote series, with a focus on the Remote 14R. Their quick takeaway: It’s a small, good-looking couple’s trailer that packs in off-grid gear without pushing the price into the stratosphere.
With a show price of $18,999 and a listed weight of 2,753 lbs., it’s aimed at shoppers who want to tow light but still camp comfortably.
In the video at the end of this post, Greg gives us a walkthrough tour.
This floor plan stands out because it pairs small-trailer size with big-trip capacity. The off-grid highlights include:
- 52-gallon fresh-water tank
- 27-gallon gray tank and 27-gallon black tank
- 200 watts of solar standard, with an option to upgrade to 400 watts
- A Maxxair fan, plus a furnace for cold-weather camping
All that comes in a trailer that still feels open, thanks to the amount of glass. It sleeps three, using the main bed plus the dinette conversion.
Construction notes included aluminum framing, a lot of composite materials (including Azdel), and a TPO membrane roof.
Exterior
Up front, the pass-through storage is large, and the door uses a magnetic hold-open. Inside that compartment sits a griddle that mounts on the back of the trailer. Nearby, the utility area includes the fresh-water fill for that 52-gallon tank, city-water hookup, black-tank flush, and an outdoor shower. The trailer also uses a Fogatti® on-demand water heater, although Greg, the reviewer, would have preferred a tank-style heater for off-grid simplicity.
A fast-drain low-point system helps empty the fresh tank quickly before towing. Out back, the dump valves sit right at the edge, which makes them easy to reach. Still, they look a bit exposed to rocks coming off the Goodyear Wrangler tire option.
Only two upgrades were called out: the Goodyear Wrangler tires (instead of highway tires) and the extra 200 watts of roof solar. Other exterior notes include rear backup camera prep, gutters, stabilizers on both ends, bumper storage for the sewer hose, a 30-amp plug, and a propane quick disconnect. One drawback is that there is no rear trailer hitch.
Interior
The layout places the fridge on the left, the bathroom in the rear corner by the fridge, the kitchen to the right of the entry, the dinette across from the kitchen, and the bed up front. The windows are a huge part of the vibe, since they make the interior feel airy for a 14-foot trailer.
The 12-volt fridge is a solid size for this price point. In the kitchen, the counter is thermofoil, paired with a stainless sink, a residential-style faucet, a two-burner cooktop, and a Furrion convection microwave that also works as an air fryer. Storage is a strong point, with deep overhead cabinets (smoked glass), big lower compartments, and drawers for smaller items.
The dinette is just a two-person setup. It includes 12-volt plugs underneath, blackout shades, and vinyl on the lower cushions for easy wipe-down. Up top, you won’t have to worry about cabinets opening during travel because there is netted storage that adds space for soft items or items in baskets, as shown.
Up front, the bed area gets windows on both sides, although the front windshield does not open. Under-bed storage connects back to the pass-through, which helps keep bulky gear out of the living area.
In the bathroom, the big win is that it’s a dry bath in a small, budget-friendly trailer. It includes a 120-volt outlet, towel hooks, a cabinet, a vent fan, tank heater switches (even though the underbelly is not enclosed), monitor panel controls, and a water pump switch. Shower headroom should work for many campers, with the reviewer (6 feet tall) fitting with about 1 to 2 inches to spare under the skylight. A toilet paper holder was not included.
Bottom line on value and what could be improved
The Remote 14R left a strong impression because it mixes low weight, big tanks, solar, and a Maxxair fan at an $18,999 show price. At the same time, the reviewer wished for a single-piece fiberglass roof instead of a membrane roof. Also, Forest River’s build quality always sits in the back of some shoppers’ minds.
Still, the show unit looked well-finished, and the overall package came off as a smart pick for couples who want off-grid features without a huge payment.

If you want a high quality 1550 lb trailer with all amenities, look at the Helio 02 tow able. We’ve had a few of those Indiana crap units and this one is much different.
Another Forest River on an undersized single axle.
Thank you for the review, Cheri. The bed orientation seems unavoidable, given the length of the RV, but also unfortunate if two actually do sleep there. Hopefully the one on the outside has a large and mostly empty bladder when settling-in for the night. Have a great day and safe travels!
