⚠️ RV Price Shopping Pro Tips ⚠️
- Some dealers price RVs low online then tack on scammy fees like prep or get ready fees at closing. Ask your dealer about an out the door price to avoid hidden fees.
- Weigh dealer service benefits with price. Some dealers have no after-sale support. Others may include significant benefits.
Bish’s RV never adds extra fees to our price, so you can feel confident our online price is realistic. We also include a free year of RVFix, a 72-hour return promise, and permanent service perks.
Feel free to reach out to one of our expert RV outfitters if you have any questions!

The 26 ICE not quite what you’re looking for?
Salem and Wildwood brands are very similar to each other. The only difference for the 26ICE is the exterior stickers and which locations they are available.
Living Area Features of the 2024 Salem 26ICE
The 26ICE shines with its spacious living area.
The big windows on the campside of the RV give you a great view but also ensure the room gets some natural light.
Awesome storage in the hidden cabinets behind the entertainment center make up for the overhead cabinet space lost for these windows.
The Versa Lounge adds flexibility, doubling as extra sleeping space or a cozy spot to unwind.
Kitchen Features of the 2024 Forest River 26ICE
This trailer has plenty of storage behind the pantry to compensate for the cabinets lost to the massive campside window.
You’ll also get a 10 cubic foot fridge, propane stove top, and an electric convection oven – this kitchen is ready for meal prep.
The outside fridge and gas grill hookup makes means you can cook inside or outside of the RV.
The 26ICE makes some interesting swaps. There’s a lot of “move this feature for this other feature.”

Bathroom Features of the 26ICE
The split bath maximizes the use of space. The sink and shower are separated allowing multiple people to get ready at once.
- Sliding Bathroom Door
- Split Set Up
Bedroom Features of the Forest River 26ICE
The bedroom has a custom King bed. The Versa-tilt function gives you more space throughout the room.
The sliding partition wall offers privacy when needed, and there’s more storage behind the entertainment center for those longer trips.
The versa-tilt function makes the room feel a lot bigger. It’s a good balance between fixed bed and murphy bed.
Traveling in the 26ICE
The dinette blocks access to the fridge and bedroom when the slides are in. You can still get to the bathroom.
Overall, the road mode does block off some access here.
Features on the Outside of the Forest River 26ICE
The exterior of the 26ICE doesn’t skimp on features. With a full pass-through storage compartment, a power awning, and an accessible outside fridge, it’s prepped for outdoor living.

- Black Water 30 Gallons
- Gray Water 60 Gallons
- On Demand Water Heater
Potential Problems With the 2024 Salem 26ICE

I left college to join the Air Force. During my four years of service I found I had a knack for graphic design and writing – so I decided to leave the military and pursue a marketing career. Four years later I found myself at Bish’s RV!
