Description For Used 2017 Forest River

If you’ve been searching for a rear kitchen travel trailer with upscale comfort, then the 2017 Forest River Salem Hemisphere Lite 282RK is an excellent choice. From the moment you step inside, the open floorplan immediately creates a welcoming and residential feel.

As you enter the trailer, to the left, you’ll find dual lounge chairs with an end table, which are perfect for relaxing after a long day. Next, the thoughtfully designed U-shaped rear kitchen features an L-shaped counter with a centrally located sink. In addition, overhead cabinetry provides ample space for cookware and essentials.

Along the rear wall, you’ll also appreciate the fully equipped kitchen, complete with a three-burner range, microwave, refrigerator, and pantry. Meanwhile, the single slide-out houses both a dinette and a tri-fold sofa, which significantly expands the living area. Adjacent to the sofa, the entertainment center and fireplace enhance comfort and ambiance.

Moving forward, the centrally located bathroom, positioned conveniently between the living area and bedroom, includes a radius shower, linen cabinet, sink, medicine cabinet, and toilet. As a result, privacy and accessibility are both well balanced.

At the front of the trailer, the private bedroom offers a queen bed, dual nightstands, overhead storage, and a front-wall laundry chute. Across from the bed, you’ll find a wardrobe and dresser with a TV hookup, making the space both functional and comfortable.

Outside, you’ll also enjoy a large pass-through storage compartment, additional exterior storage, and a 21-foot power awning. Furthermore, optional exterior features include an outdoor kitchen with sink and electric refrigerator, as well as an optional gas grill, allowing you to entertain with ease.

Features Construction & Exterior

To begin with, this travel trailer is built on durable Dexter axles, which are paired with 15″ radial tires and aluminum wheels for smooth and reliable towing. In addition, the painted fiberglass front cap features integrated LED light strips, which not only enhance visibility but also improve curb appeal. Moreover, the Wide Track Suspension increases stability, especially while traveling on uneven roads.

At the same time, the aluminum-framed, vacuum-bonded construction adds long-term durability. Likewise, the laminated sidewalls and floor include in-floor heating, ensuring added comfort during cooler camping seasons. On top of that, the one-piece seamless walk-on roof, backed by a 12-year warranty, offers peace of mind and long-lasting protection.

Furthermore, the extra-large pass-through storage makes loading gear easy and efficient. Meanwhile, the power electric awning with adjustable legs creates an inviting outdoor living space. Additionally, marine-grade exterior speakers with blue LED lighting enhance outdoor entertainment. Not only that, the exterior TV bracket with cable and power outlet makes tailgating or movie nights outdoors simple. Finally, the black tank flush system simplifies maintenance after every trip.

Kitchen

When it comes to cooking, the kitchen is both stylish and functional. For example, LG® solid-surface countertops provide a durable and attractive workspace. At the same time, the stainless steel Dometic® double-door refrigerator keeps food fresh on extended trips. Additionally, the residential undermount sink and decorative slate backsplash add a residential feel.

Moreover, the stainless steel microwave with carousel pairs perfectly with the high-rise pull-out sprayer faucet, making meal prep easier. Just as importantly, solid wood cabinet doors and drawers offer lasting quality. In select models, a large residential pantry provides even more storage, which is ideal for longer adventures.

Living Room

Moving into the living area, comfort and entertainment take center stage. Specifically, the 13,500 BTU ducted roof A/C with Quick Cool ensures fast and efficient cooling. Depending on the floorplan, you’ll enjoy theatre seating or rocker recliners, which are perfect for relaxing evenings.

In addition, the oversized dinette with storage drawers adds both seating and functionality. Meanwhile, the 32″ HD TV with CD/DVD/AM/FM and surround sound keeps everyone entertained. Furthermore, an electric fireplace—included in most floorplans—adds warmth and ambiance. To complete the space, night shades and decorative lighting enhance comfort and privacy.

Bedroom

Turning to the bedroom, relaxation is the main focus. First, a comfortable queen bed with storage underneath provides both rest and organization. In addition, mirrored wardrobes and dual nightstands offer convenient storage. Above, overhead cabinets maximize space efficiency.

Equally important, the bedroom includes TV prep with a swing-arm mount, allowing you to unwind with your favorite shows after a long day.

Bathroom

Meanwhile, the bathroom is designed for convenience and comfort. Here, a radius walk-in shower makes cleanup easy. Additionally, the power bath roof exhaust fan improves ventilation. At the same time, a wooden medicine cabinet with mirror adds storage. Finally, the Dometic® foot-flush toilet and vinyl tub surround complete the space.

Safety & Security

Above all, safety is a priority. For this reason, smoke, LP, and carbon monoxide detectors come standard. Likewise, a fire extinguisher is included for added protection. In addition, electric brakes on all wheels enhance towing safety. Furthermore, GFI receptacles and ANSI 119.2 certification ensure compliance and peace of mind.

Optional Features

For those who want more, several upgrades are available. For instance, a free-standing dinette with four chairs adds flexibility. Similarly, swivel rocker recliners increase comfort. Additionally, a 15,000 BTU A/C upgrade and 50-amp service improve climate control. Finally, an outside shower and roof ladder add convenience and functionality.
