Rockwood & Flagstaff

Looking at Rockwood 2442BS and Twin Flagstaff 554BBS. Small 5vers. My wife and I are older and want a couples coach. Anyone pulling one of these. How well does it tow and any serious issues. This will be our last RV. Thanks in advance.

  • Thanks for all your post. Yes, we will want theater seating.
  • I can not really comment on the specific model 5th wheel that you listed but can tell you that we have had our Flagstafff 528RKS for 3 years now and it has been very trouble-free. It tows well and seems to be sturdy built. Ours is a 2019 that we purchased new 3 seasons ago.
  • Take a look at the Keystone Cougar 25RES. Fits all your numbers and from experience (we have the 27SGS) very nice trailers.
  • No access to the pantry or fridge when the slides in and not sure but it looks like no access to the kitchen when the slides in as well. Not a fan of the dinning table. The one sitting next to the wall would feel cramped and getting in and out might be a hassle when another persons sitting next to them. Could always sit at the end of the table I suppose. Hardly any windows on the camp side would be a downer for us.
    Other than my own subjective opinions I like Flagstaffs and Rockwoods for their Azdel and laminated roof construction. They're a little lite on other things like suspension and insulation but overall better than many out their.
  • Looks like a nice couples floor plan, and at 8k dry and 10k wet the towing would depend on the tow vehicle used.
    I would opt for theatre seating instead of a couch unless another bed required.
