Many times there is no meaning to them.

While my Cedar Creek is a 345IK (IK=Island Kitchen) I've had other R/V where the numbers and letters mean nothing.

Many believe the numbers are the length (and sometimes they are but more often not) and the letters mean the interior design but again, often not.

What brand is a 3603LFP? FR has nearly 100 different brands. Then we can look at the floorplan and have a better idea what the letters might mean.
The only such model number that Google could find, is a Dutchmen Astoria 5th wheel, which is not a Forest River product. It's made by a division of Thor Industries, Forest River's main competitor.

I have sometimes seen LF or FL for "Living Front" or "Front Living" when the living room is in the front...

I can't find a Forest River product with that combination model and letters.

Sometimes the letter have meaning... our 21TB has twin beds and the 21RB had a rear bath, but that might be just giving meaning to random letters.

Ours is a 253RLXL. Translated to 25' 3" Rear Living X-Lite. Those dimensions are inside the rear wall to the front wall. Plus or minus a few.

That model looks to be a Dutchmen Astoria RV. Sorry I don't know what the letter designations for that brand are.

The 3603 could mean 36' 3" and be the outside dimension from the back to the front bay being the overall length is 40' and it looks like maybe 4' overhang at the hitch. The LFP might mean 'Large Family Place' because of being a bunk house and looks like it could sleep 2 adults and 5 kids.

Pure speculation on my part -
Be safe -

My 387RDFS is a Rear Den Front Suite

The 387 is the interior square feet.
At least that’s how Jayco does it.
