Forest River Rockwood Hard Side reviews

This was a great little camper for my husband and I, tiny living at its best. I take it out on my own and set it up no problem. Although, I wish I would have seen the reviews about the Actuator, We are on our 3rd one, they run out in about a year and a half, after the warranty wears off. My husband took the motor apart, it had water in it and had rusted. If I would have seen a review about this known problem, I would have picked a different camper Good Luck Show less

This trailer is perfect! It is small enough to fit in the garage (eliminate storage fees) and large enough to sleep a small family and carry all of your camping gear! This trailer pops up in under 60 seconds! No cranking of handles like you would find on a tent trailer. Everything is self-contained with hard sides. No canvas! Tinted windows throughout, including the following features: • Microwave • Air conditioning • 3-way Refrigerator/Freezer (gas, 12V, 110V) • 3-burner stove • Sink with running cold and hot water • Prewired for solar • Freshwater holding tank • FM Stereo with installed speakers • Huge front storage compartment, big enough for large objects, like camping chairs • Several easy access storage compartments throughout the exterior of the trailer • Kitchen cabinets with room for plenty of kitchen items • Dinette folds down to also act as a bed (can sleep 1 adult or 2 children) • Queen size master bed • Hanging pantry for additional food items • Rear bumper with a 2 inch receiver hitch (perfect for a bike rack!) • Additional storage under the dinette seat • Additional storage under the master bed • Automatic tongue crank (no turning of handles!) • Plenty of head room inside • Attractive decor and flooring • Excellent condition and well maintained • Table and barbecue attached to the outside (barbecue has never been used) • Porch light • Plenty of lighting inside • Outdoor shower • Easy to tow Show less

We love our A-frame. The only disappointment has been the actuator...we’ve had two go out on us and now we lift it manually. Manageable, but we paid to have an actuator that works. Other than that, we have loved taking it all over the country and Virginia state parks. Wouldn’t hesitate to buy again. Show less

Do not let the cute design fool you. Unless you prefer visits to the repair shop over camping, do not purchase one of these (looks like the "premier" line is the same). These are poorly constructed - not just lower grade materials, but lack of good assembly. We've had leaks in the ceiling fan, the kitchen bump, the window over the beds. The screw in the two of the jacks bowed. Every trip is now tainted with the fear something else will be faulty. Such a shame because the original design is excellent but until Forest River steps up and fixed the manufacturing process, we can not recommend purchase. Also note - I have contacted Forest River Inc directly concerning our disappointment and I know we have been assigned to a customer service rep. We have NOT heard from that rep. Show less

DON’T BUY THIS POP UP. The roof motor is under-powered and eventually dies. We’ve gone through two in one year and are still waiting for help from Rockwood Forest River to find a stronger motor. No-one has responded to our messages and so we are unable to use it as it’s too heavy to raise manually. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE. WILL BE CONTACTING BBB SOON. Show less

We purchased our pop up from Orlando RV and would not recommend using this dealership as we had nothing but bad service. The RV itself is great for weekends if only they had given it a strong enough motor to raise the roof. It never worked efficiently from the start and eventually died under warranty. The new one was still the 12 V 20 W motor and just couldn’t raise it without a struggle and also died on us. We were told by Orlando RV that this was a common weakness in this model and to try a broom handle. As my husband is sick, I tried pushing it up but it nearly killed me. I contacted Forest River but heard nothing back from them. DONT BUY THIS UNTIL THEY GIVE IT A BIGGER MOTOR. Show less
