How's the quality of the new Rockwood Popups
I might be in the market for a 2018. Not sure if I'll keep my travel trailer or not. I'm honestly sick and tired of all the upkeep and maintenance, and the high costs of these services. I'm dumpin...

Well, finally got to get out and look at some pop ups I was considering buying. That's the Rockwood Freedom 2280BHESP(really the 2280 I'm wanting to buy), the Rockwood Premier 2516G and 2716G.
Well prices are much higher than I feel they should be considering MSRP and what they are. The 2516G and 2716G are within $500 of each as are the 2280 and 2318G (Freedom Slide out version) that I priced.
The 2516G and 2716G prices are what the dealer is actually asking for a Forest River Bunk House Travel Trailer similar to my Jay Flight 26BH, on their lot. My wife said no way on paying that type of money for a tent on wheels. Remember we had a 12' box pop up already and she knows all the positives and negatives of that Bathroom/shower model, Starcraft 2406. The Freedom models were only about $1000 cheaper than the Premier models while offering a lot less features.
The 2280, 2318G, and 2716G were 2019 models while the 2516G was a 2018 model that I would actually buy, but the models I looked at were 2018 and were all sold except the 2516G.
No one within 3 hours has any Pop Ups for consideration. So this place is it.
I really wasn't expecting such high actual prices so it's actually cheaper for us to keep the travel trailer even with maintenance considered and possibly even off site storage (that I'm against).
So the pop up option seems to be out. Now it's whether I keep the travel trailer or go back to tent camping.
On the Flip side, the quality and build construction were very good on all 3 models I looked at, the 2280BHESP, 2516G, and the 2716G. Much better than the Jaycos and as good as my previous Starcraft 2406. Much, Much better than the 2005 Rockwood Freedom 2290 that I had.
I've also been posting on Pop Up Explorer so don't be surprised if you see this identical response over there.
Thanks everyone for your help.
