Rockwood Owners

[FoxNovGolf]

My wife has been looking at some Rockwood TT floor plans. I was wondering if you Rockwood owners would purchase a Rockwood again. I would like to read your comments, good or bad. We are not familiar with this brand. This will be our first TT purchase.

Thanks.

Had a 2010 Forest River Shamrock 23' Hybrid and hated it. Always leaked and poor design with back pullout bunk and bathroom.

Our new 2014 Rockwood 32' TT is great. Had it for a year and love how it's set up, the quality and the features. We got the Diamond Ed. and it looks sweet in the tan/brown color.

"Reasonable reputation" includes most RVs unless you're really shopping from the right side of the menu or the really high dollar ones. Regardless of who builds it, a lemon is going to slip through from time to time and you can only hope it's not yours.

We're on our second Rockwood product, first our HTT ROO 23SS and was wonderful. This last year made the move to a 2013 Rockwood 2604 and have no problems. When I say "no problems", we had a hinge on the bathroom cabinet get loose and DH fixed it with a toothpick to fill the hole, some wood glue and put the screw back in. We don't consider those to be problems, because most everyone has them. Overall, the major components were and are trouble free, the quality has been very good and we would likely buy Rockwood again, if we were making a change which we aren't. What model are you looking at?? You might come up with specific info for that model that would help.

We have had our Windjammer a little over a month now and could not be happier. We have the 3008W and the floorplan is great for my wife and I. I lost some room on the outside storage from our previous trailer but it just made me get more creative and get rid of the stuff we really did not use.

We had a Rockwood Roo and really enjoyed it. While it did not compare in quality to our Open Range, it was a good first trailer and I would buy one again.

We bought a used one owner, like new 2004 Rockwood 2502 several years ago for 5500 dollars and have gotten more than our money out of this rig. Tow's like a charm, has held up very well and despite what some say, I would tell you if you should run if our experience was bad...I have no reason to sugar coat anything about this rig or brand.

Good luck with whatever you decide!

They have a reasonable reputation. I wouldn't hesitate to buy one if it fit my needs.

While this is a TT forum, in 1984 I purchased a brand new Rockwood PUP. I had owned other manufacturers, but the Rockwood PUP was top notch with hardwood cabinets, a lift system engineered like no other manufacturer at the time and all around a well made trailer. We had the trailer for 21 years, using it 6-8 times per year pulling it all over the East Coast and also to Canada from Long Island. The only reason we sold it was we inherited a larger Coleman PUP. I should kept the Rockwood and sold the Coleman.

I've owned five trailers and the Rockwood was by far the best made trailer. We now own a Jayco only because the closet Rockwood dealer is 155 miles from me. If there was a closer Rockwood dealer, I'd own a a Rockwood.

We bought a 2007 Rockwood fifth wheel new and pulled it around for 6 months. Overall it was ok. The floor from the kitchen to the stairs seemed weak to me. It was only 31' long and didn't have a place we could install a washer/dryer unit we wanted at the time. It did survive a winter in Winnemucca, NV so it was tough!

We're on our 2nd Forest River product as well. We did have some problems in our last camper, but the new trailer still fit our needs much better than any of the other brands we looked at. We do like the solid cabinetry and some other aspects of the "fit & finish" of both Flagstaff & Rockwood (as already mentioned, they are twins.) No RV is perfect, but we have gotten some good use out of ours, and hoping to continue to do so.

We have been to the plant and watched them being built all the people we met were very committed to making a good product. They made notes on any dislikes you may have and any suggestions you may have for improvements. I keep looking at the Windjammer wondering if the V front would help with better gas mileage.

Look no further; I'm a Windjammer believer now. Helps with mpg, and as an added bonus, NO BUGS ON THE FRONT CAP! The wife picked out the model with the walk-in closet in the nose (V-Hull) and that's come in very handy. Glad we went with the Windjammer, just seems like it tows better.

Our 2010 Rockwood 2604 has been great. In its 5th year of moderate use, it still looks new. I do my own routine maintenance and have slowly done many mods which make it feel like new adding the latest features. I have had to fix a handful of minor issues myself (e.g., re-caulk the shower)but it is holding up very well so far and is a good value for the price.

We have a new Rockwood Windjammer and love it. The fit and finish, and attention to detail are outstanding. The Flagstaff line is the identical trailer btw, same assembly line, just different decals.
