I've attached the FR VIN decoder. Unfortunately, I don't think it will really tell you the "model" (i.e., 21SS, 23KS, etc.). That's usually on a sticker by the entry door. You might have to call Forest River to get the exact "model" number.
Also, the model number doesn't
always equate to actual length. Some folks with 3 or 4 digit model numbers say theirs is equivalent to square feet, but that's usually not correct, either.
For example, Mini Lite makes a number of "25" models - 2502KS, 2503S, 2504S, 2506S, 2507S, 2509S. You'd expect them to be 25 feet long. OR you'd expect them to have 2500 or so square feet. Clearly square feet doesn't work. In my case, my Mini Lite is actually 25' 10-1/2" from ball to bumper. Using the VIN decoder, my 2503S is supposed to be 25 feet long, which it "sort of" is. So you might get the "25" part from the VIN decoder, but it will not tell you the "03S" part.
Note that the actual "box" part of my trailer is only 22' long. So maybe square feet is tied to the "250" part of the model number instead of 2500? But 22' x 8' = 176 sq ft, so that doesn't work either. Even if you added, say 30 square feet for the slide, you're still only at 206 sq ft.
So unless there's a model number sticker by the door, you'd probably have to call Forest River with the VIN and ask them what the model number is.
