have lived in for 2 years in Texas. once had hose burst under entertainment center and freezer door hinge broke but besides that no problems. i bought for what i thought was a fair deal. it is great for 1 or 2 people. it is winterized so pipes under are protected. 2 ac units. 2 closets. very happy with my trailer.

This travel trailer has everything, thats a fact. Unfortunately every time we use it, we think "why the heck didn't they put it right" The quality is tge worst I've ever seen ln an RV Everything is fitted with Brad nails or staples (screws might have been too expensive) Overall built quality 2/10 Insulation 0/10 AC 0/10 Bathroom quality 2/10 Shower 1/10 Kitchen 3/10 Range 0/10 (boil don't cook) Outdoor kitchen layout 9/10 but quality 1/10 Show less

Bed, sofa bed, and converting table bed are all comfortable to sleep on. It has everything you need including refrigerator, heater, air conditioner, shower, stove/oven, adequate storage. There are also nice bonus amenities such as the outdoor shower, two televisions, and an electric fireplace. Show less

We bought this RV new and it was our first 5th Wheel. We especially liked the large closet, round shower, large refrigerator/freezer, and great storage. One thing we noticed with Rockwood was a lot of things that are extra in other RVs was standard in ours. For example, ceiling fan in living room area, two fantastic fans in bathroom and kitchen area, solar equipped, electric/propane water heater, lazy boy recliners, and a rear carrier are just some of the extras. I really liked the Reese revolution hitch that rotated at the trailer instead of the fifth wheel. I have a short bed truck and can make 90 degree turns without ever worrying about hitting my truck with the trailer. I upgraded the tires because the factory tires are not rated for speeds over 60 mph. It is a great trailer but our health has reached the point that we can't travel in an RV any longer. But I would highly recommend this fifth wheel. I have talked to very few RVers who have found a great dealer to maintain their rig although I kept looking. A lot of things can be fixed yourself if you have any mechanical knowledge. Good luck on your RV adventure and we wish all of you the wonderful time we have had with ours. Show less

Our Salem hemisphere has been a great camper for me my wife and our grandkids when they visit. The kitchen area is huge for a camper of this size. More than adequate cabinet space in kitchen bathroom and even the bedroom. Bedroom has a large three drawer dresser and wardrobe closet hard to find in a travel trailer. Outside frig and sink a bonus when outdoors. Only issue was the recliners starting to peel (which has been a problem with all types of campers made from 2015-present) We put covers on the backs so not a big deal. Everything else has been perfect. Pulled great with my 1500 ram. Show less

Easy to tow. Small. We used for part time work out of town. Was perfect for saving money, not using hotels. Fun. Sleeps 4-5. During day would be cramped with 4-5 inside all day. Good for camping, living part time , but not necessarily fulltime. We have not needed any warranty or support. Show less

I'm 66 yr old sr. full time RVer. Paid cash for the camper, one week later found truck to tow it, paid cash. This travel trailer has allowed me to spend past 3 years visiting family, friends, and doing select contract positions in 3 different states. The floor plan is perfect. Now: poor quality subflooring is failing under laminate in all 'traffic' points (main entry, at kitchen sink, bathroom area). Spongey! My ext warr won't cover, "not an appliance", my general ins won't cover because there was no "incident". "But wait! There's more!" The POC refrigerator quit working 8 mos ago. Been round and round on this; point of purchase had rig for 4 mos and charged $120 for diagnostic: 'motherboard failure'. Put new one in...it's not the motherboard (have 2 functional here now, anybody in need?). Further testing shows computer strip IN fridge is fried so mother board can't 'talk' to appliance. My ext warr - will only replace/reimburse for that component. Gets better - PROBLEM: model is obsolete, part's not available; this according to manufacturer and my RV repair company here. Neither manufacturer in Indiana nor my warranty give a rodent's rump. I'd like both CEOs to live here in AZ desert without a refrigerator❗ I've written all this so 1) you don't consider buying Flagstaff product, 2) do not buy an extended warranty, 3) fully comprehend theses rvs are not made with quality materials that the manufacturer will stand behind or, referring to my floor, on. Be financially and psychologically ready for this. Friends think I'm "living the dream". Could have been, should have been. Definitively not the case. Show less

Good floor plan for our family. Trailer is light and easy to maneuver for its size. We loved having a separate bedroom with a door that shut for sleeping. The trailer is spacious and great to use for trips. Show less

Bought new, identified flaws upon purchase was told they would all be dealt with. Yesterday marks 1 year of dealing with it and still has all the flaws. Will probably just take a hit and sell with issues. Would rather give birth to a porky pine then ever own another FOREST RIVER product. Show less

I loved this fifth wheel and would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking to purchase one. we used it to get away and wanted a lot of room and storage inside which this gave us. was also thinking of permanently retiring in it but things changed. very sad to have to sell. Show less
