The 2025 Forest River Ibex 19MSB is a rugged, lightweight travel trailer designed for “adventure-first” couples or small families. It stands out in the market for its off-grid capabilities and a clever floor plan that maximizes living space in a compact 25-foot frame. Its versatile mid-living layout, featuring a front Murphy bed that converts to a sofa, dual sofas for ample seating, an L-shaped kitchen with modern appliances (like an air fryer microwave), and a rear full bathroom with a roomy shower.

The “MSB” stands for Murphy Bed / Sofa / Bar, which defines the three primary zones of the trailer:

• Versatile Living Area: The front features a 60″ x 80″ True Queen Murphy Bed. During the day, it folds up to reveal a comfortable sofa, significantly increasing the indoor floor space.
• Dining & Kitchen: Instead of a traditional dinette, it features a modern L-shaped countertop with bar stools, creating a “bistro” feel. The kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, a 12V refrigerator, and an all-in-one microwave/air fryer.
• Rear Bath: A spacious full-width rear bathroom with a radius shower, toilet, and medicine cabinet.
• Second Sofa: A slide-out sofa provides additional seating and can convert into a sleeping space for a guest.
