I am considering the purchase of either a Rockwood Ultra Lite V, models 2618 VS or a 2715 VS. I would appreciate any information by owners past or present with your experience with these models. Regarding fit and finish, quality control, general impression of the overall trailer. Which of these two models would you recommend, and reasons why. And any other hints or recommendations you may have. Thanks

Rockwood and Flagstaff are the same trailer with different decals. We have a Rockwood Windjammer W3001 and it has been outstanding after 4 years. Not a single issue.

Wasn't sold on the V-nose at first, but the advantages are true; no bugs on the nose, tows like a dream. I say go for it, we love ours!

Rockwood and Flagstaff are sister units built in the same plants with very similar deigns and layouts. They are made by Forest River in Millersburg In.
As for the unit itself I have had decent service from mine. It tows very well. I looked at the V light but it was a front kitchen model and I don't like the tongue weight change that loading the kitchen can make I will say that working with their service dept has been a good experience and they have been very helpful. These units are a bit above middle of the road but not high end. I had trouble with the furnace and the super slide. I think how much you enjoy a unit is directly related to how handy you are at times. Some of the minor problems I just fixed and went on without getting upset.
I did take off the china bombs and put Maxxium 8008's load range E. I also replaced the electric tounge jack with a better model after the original failed. The company was very fair with me and sent me a check for the amount that would have replaced it with the original fair enough.

After 6 years of ownership I traded my 2010 Rockwood 2604 Ultralite last fall. I had quite a few issues when new, mostly related to other companies products installed in the Rockwood, but once the dealer took care of everything it was great. Based on my experience I would most certainly recommend a Rockwood to anyone. I know this isn't one of the models you're looking at but I just wanted to give you some info on Rockwood quality.

The Forest River and Flagstaff Trailers were very popular back in the late 1990s and up... Guess ROCKWOOD now is doing these lines...
