The 2025 Forest River Nightfall Toy Haulers

If you plan to haul motorized toys like ATVs or larger recreation gear like kayaks or e-bikes, you need a toy hauler. It’s the ideal RV type for dune trips, extended boondocking stays, and much more. Many experienced campers call toy haulers the most versatile RVs on the market, and one brand—Forest River Nightfall—certainly lives up to that hype while still offering first-time owners the chance to experience toy hauler life at a more reasonable price.

In addition to being the only reasonable RV for hauling motorized toys, there are many reasons to choose a toy hauler. They have highly versatile sleeping spaces, and the garage can turn into a mobile office or theater room. Plus, they still include the convenience of a kitchen and bathroom, like other top RVs. 

Let’s dive into the 2025 Forest River Nightfall floor plans and outstanding features.

Key Takeaways

• Versatile Toy Hauler for Adventure Seekers: The Forest River Nightfall toy hauler is designed for hauling motorized toys like ATVs, offering a spacious garage that doubles as a living, sleeping, or work area—ideal for boondocking and off-road adventures.
• Diverse Floor Plans & Features: The 2025 lineup includes five models (ranging from 26’5” to 33’+ in length) with varying layouts, sleeping capacities, and amenities like Murphy beds, L-shaped kitchens, and private bedrooms. All models feature a convertible rear patio deck and ample cargo capacity.
• Built for Off-Grid & All-Season Use: The Nightfall series is designed for extended-season camping and is equipped with a 200W solar panel, insulated construction, and a 35,000-BTU furnace. Additional features like tie-downs, removable sofa sleepers, and an upgraded kitchen enhance functionality and convenience.

2025 Forest River Nightfall Toy Haulers

Originally introduced at the 2024 Florida RV SuperShow, Forest River has expanded the 2025 Nightfall lineup to include floor plans ranging from 26 to over 33 feet long and weighing 6,300 to more than 7,200 pounds dry. 

Here’s a quick spec breakdown by floor plan:

These tank capacities come in handy when heading off the grid. 

The 2025 Forest River Nightfall Floor Plans

All floor plans feature a 3,000-pound-capacity rear ramp door that can convert to a 1,500-pound-capacity rear patio deck. They also boast a manual drop-down, queen-sized Euro bed above two queen-sized sofa sleepers, and a removable dinette table. That’s comfortable sleeping for four in the garage alone.

Let’s highlight the main differences from there.

Nightfall 20N

The shortest floor plan in the lineup also offers its longest garage. The Nightfall 20N is highlighted by a 17-foot garage, with the first 66 inches or so from the ramp door stretching the full width of the trailer. The remaining section of the garage remains 80 inches wide all the way back to the Murphy bed sofa. 

Yes, this toy hauler includes a Murphy bed! It’s a rarity in this segment, but with a length under 27 feet, it’s a welcome addition to expand the living space during the day. Forest River thoughtfully installed overhead storage above the bed and a small cubby extending away from the camp side for storing books, phones, and other personal essentials overnight. 

The bathroom is on the utility side of the layout, right next to the Murphy bed. It features a corner-mounted vanity with a stainless steel sink, a mirrored medicine cabinet, and plenty of lower storage for linens and toiletries. The 24” x 32” shower is nicely spacious, and the 6’10” shower height makes this an excellent camper for tall people.

The kitchen stretches across the utility side wall and features a larger 12-volt refrigerator, three-burner cooktop, microwave, and stainless steel sink. This year, they expanded the sink size by placing the high-rise faucet at the corner of the countertop, a smart improvement. 

Nightfall 21N

You enter the Forest River Nightfall 21N directly across from the kitchen, providing 80 inches from the campside to the kitchen cabinetry. The height from the floor to the bottom of the manual bunk in the garage is 81”, and you’ll find tie-downs all the way back to the wall separating the kitchen from the bedroom and bathroom.

While cozy, the 21N efficiently uses its space. The bathroom is accessible by two doors—one from the bedroom and one as you enter—making it more convenient for guests. The main bedroom in the rear boasts a 60” x 72” queen bed in a slide-out. It’s the only Nightfall with a bedroom slide-out, expanding the space to include a dresser with a large mirror above. There’s also an additional storage cabinet to the right of the mirror.

The second bathroom entrance is at the foot of the bed, offering private entry for everyone in the middle of the night. The bathroom features a 30” x 36” tub/shower combo with a skylight, a foot-flush toilet, and a vanity with a sink and mirrored medicine cabinet.

Nightfall 25N

Though slightly larger than the 21N, the Nightfall 25N still fits under that 30’ length threshold many campgrounds maintain. Like the 21N, the 25N also features the kitchen across from the entry door, with an 80” width from cabinets to the campside wall. The kitchen is slightly larger than the 21N, but the open counterspace is still quite minimal compared to larger floor plans.

There’s 81” height clearance from the floor to the bottom of the garage’a drop-down bed, an important consideration for taller motorized vehicles. This Forest River Nightfall toy hauler features a pass through bathroom between the kitchen/living area and the bedroom. It has all your essentials – an RV toilet, a linen closet, a sink with a mirrored vanity, and a 30” x 36” tub/shower with a skylight.

The main sleeping area boasts a 60” x 74” queen bed with ward closets and nightstands on either side. There’s also plenty of overhead cabinetry, storage under the bed, and a third closet at the foot of the bed on the utility side.

Nightfall 27N

Compared to the smaller models, the Nightfall 27N boasts a noticeably different kitchen layout. The L-shaped kitchen provides space between the kitchen and garage for a TV-prepped entertainment center and extra storage. 

This kitchen boasts an expanded counterspace with perfectly positioned outlets for a coffee maker or other kitchen appliances. And in an area that many manufacturers neglect – above the microwave – Forest River added cabinet storage to the Nightfall instead of leaving the space unused. 

The bathroom features a single entry door off the hallway, but that still means nobody has to go through the main sleeping area in the middle of the night. A 30” x 36” tub/shower combo with a retractable shower door has ample headroom, and dual mirrored medicine cabinets provide abundant toiletry storage.

The bedroom features a 60” x 74” queen-sized bed with dual wardrobes, overhead storage, and nightstands. A small ward closet at the foot of the bed on the off-camp side provides additional storage.

Nightfall 29N

The Nightfall 29N is the lineup’s largest floor plan, with a spacious kitchen and a truly private queen bedroom at the front. The pass through bathroom between the kitchen and garage is conveniently accessible to everyone. It features a 30” x 36” shower with a skylight across from a vanity with a mirrored medicine cabinet.

The 29N kitchen is arguably Nightfall’s best, with added amenities compared to the others. A hidden pantry is tucked behind the entertainment center, which sits across from theater seating. The kitchen also features an L-shaped countertop and expanded pantry storage. 

Of note, it’s the only Nightfall with additional seating other than the sleeper sofas in the garage or the Murphy bed in the 20N. It’s also the only Nightfall with two entry doors—one entering the kitchen/living area and the other entering the garage. 

The front bedroom is separated from the kitchen and living area with sliding pocket doors. The queen bed features under-bed and overhead storage. Dual wardrobes give you more hanging space than in most of the other models.

Features of the Forest River Nightfall Toy Haulers

Let’s look at the design and construction features that all Nightfall models share: 

Hauling Capacity

Each Nightfall toy hauler is built on a 102” wide-body frame with a standard beavertail, and they all boast more than 4,000 pounds of cargo capacity. Securing that cargo is easy with multiple 5,000-pound tie-downs. The exact number varies based on the floor plan, but it’s important to note that you’ll have tie-downs in the garage and the area between the kitchen cabinetry and the campside wall (in select models). 

While the Congoleum kitchen flooring differs from the oil and gas-resistant ramp and garage entry flooring, it’s easy to clean and resistant to scratches, tears, and spills. When speaking to Forest River about this model, I appreciated their thoughtfulness in securing the sofa sleepers so that campers can easily remove them with standard tools. This allows you to expand the garage for maximum hauling capability. 

It also makes it easy to remove the sofas, wrap them, and store them in a protected, climate-controlled area during the offseason to remain in the best condition possible.

Off-Grid Functionality

Many toy hauler owners seek destinations like Sand Mountain in Northern Nevada or Glamis in Southern California. Both are perfect dune areas for riding ATVs, dirt bikes, and other toys, but neither has campgrounds with full hookups nestled amongst the dunes. 

To help you camp off-grid and enjoy full RV use, the Nightfall’s Premium Package includes a roof-mounted 200-watt solar panel and a 30-amp charge controller. If desired, a 1,800-watt inverter can be added for improved capability. Other underrated features for boondocking include the Tokyo-style manual garage bed and a 12-volt refrigerator. There is no need for AC power to keep perishables cold or set up the secondary sleeping area.

The Premium Package’s patio deck kit and magnetic screen wall are also perfect for off-grid camping. They make it easy to expand your dirt-free patio space while inviting fresh air in and keeping pesky bugs out.

Extended Season Capability

With the Extended Season Package, you won’t be limited to summer camping. When built with this package, the Nightfall campers feature a fully insulated and enclosed underbelly to protect the holding tanks and keep out debris and pests. 

The roof and floor are wrapped in thermofoil, and the entire camper is insulated to deliver higher R-values than many competitors. Nightfall delivers R7 insulation in the floor and sidewalls, while the roof boasts R11 insulation. 

Each Nightfall is equipped with a 15,000-BTU air conditioner and ducted A/C venting to deliver ample cooling capacity on hot desert days. If desired, they can also be prepped for a second 15K BTU air conditioner. For the cooler months, all Nightfall toy hauler travel trailers are built with a 35,000-BTU high-output furnace.

Versatile Sleeping, Seating, and Dining Areas

Versatility is a vital feature for all toy haulers. They’re built around their mobile garage’s ability to become a suitable living, sleeping, or dining space once your gear is unloaded. On this front, the Nightfall lineup doesn’t disappoint. 

For starters, the manual Euro queen bed easily pulls down to the sleeping position. By opting for a manual design, there’s no chance of the bed getting stuck at the end of a long weekend due to a motor issue or dead battery.

Below the bunk, the sofa sleepers give you ample options: 

• Fold one down and keep the other as a sofa 
• Push them both down for side-by-side beds or a massive sleeping area 
• Use them as opposing couches with a central walkway 
• Set the dinette table between them for meals 
• Easily remove them for maximum hauling capacity

Speaking of that dinette table, it’s lightweight and easy to reposition. Set it up wherever you need it, inside or out. Between the sofas is the most obvious place, but it works nicely on the campside wall across from the kitchen for added prep space. Or as a patio card table on warm evenings. The only thing that will limit your ability to customize your setup is your imagination.
