Forest River Rockwood Mini Lite reviews

Easy to tow. Plenty of room for two adults and two kids (or other options). Smaller size for most mountain camp sites. We really liked to outside kitchen option (1st time using this). Parking towing and leveling setup was easy. Very solid quiet inside. Show less

Forest River Rockwood Mini 2109S. The unit is very poorly built. Warranty is nonexistent. If purchase, make sure read. Very limited warranty. Only one year. Being 5 to 5 1/2 hours from the dealer have fixed most items. Items are mostly MFG installing improperly which warranties exclude. Have Roofing issue. The 10-year warranty is for the PTO membrane and is through the maker of the membrane. Not Forest River. They don’t cover MFG improper installation. Took month and a half to get an answer on the roofing issues which are MFG improper installations. Stated problem but never came out and stated improper installation. Basically, nothing wrong with the roof, but will make note if problem down the road. Roof is supposed to be laminated but not sure what they are calling laminated. Any way no coverage and I have to repair as best as I can. Other issues have included cabinet drawers and Cabinet doors. Granted this isn’t an Air stream, but construction of the unit should be better than it is for what you pay for. They are not customer orientated. Will not buy another Forest River unit. These units are just slapped together. Buyer beware. Show less

We purchased our trailer in May of 2021 and have logged just under 10,000 miles and between 60 and 70 nights. We usually camp in USFS, BLM, NSP or state campground so having a smaller trailer makes it much easier get a site. Its small but has a lot of storage: a closet on each side of the bed, two pantry/closets, drawers under the dinette and good storage space in the bathroom. We've had five problems : 1) a small tear in the awning (fixed under warranty) that took 3 month to get repaired, 2) hinge screws would not stay tight (easy fix), 3) tiny water leak where the braided hose attaches to the water heater (easy fix), 4) hitch jack stopped working (just happened, think it will be an easy fix), 5) the original mattress was horrible, (replaced with a Wilderness mattress). We love the trailer especially the 52 gal. fresh water tank which allows us to stay up to 5 nights without hookups. Show less

We have put over 25,000 miles on this trailer with very few problems. The floor plan is very smart. Especially love the murphy bed - on long trips it is very nice to have the extra space to provide a different look. U shaped dinette is very roomy and allows for a comfortable feet-up posture when needed. Shower is roomy enough. The couch has gotten saggy and uncomfortable which is sad, because it is impossible to change the cushions. Overall quality has exceeded expectations. Would absolutely buy again. Show less

I purchased my 2506s 15 months ago and so far it has been a fabulous couples camper. I tow this with my Jeep Grand Cherokee and for the most part I do not know it is behind me, unless I do something stupid. We put over 5,000 mile on it last year and enjoyed this trailer on every trip. From the Black hills to Illinois state parks we could not be happier, my honey loves the kitchen and bathroom layouts and I really enjoy the living area and the outside kitchen. The Awning is almost the whole length of the trailer making for a great space to hang out in the rain, i can even hook up my portable gas firepit under the awning. While there I have an outdoor stove top, griddle, and small fridge to hold anything I need out there to cook. And a sprayer to clean things off. Best Trailer for couples to head out and enjoy a couple of weeks away. Show less

We certainly like the floor plan which is why we picked the Forest River Mini-Lite... Several issues such as floor got spongy, replaced steps, furnace doesn't work properly, matress lumpy after 1 year, one of tanks dropped down and we had to have welded back on, front jack had to be replaced as it stopped working on our first trip, on/off switch to hot water tank doesn't work, cabinet doors had to be strapped closed, spare tire exploded while mounted to back of camper (never been used), outside shower door doesn't open, sink in kitchen leaked and so on..... DO NOT buy this product esp because of the floor since it's made of the thinnest plywood and foam. JUNK! Show less

Floor was spongy after 2 years. Company uses foam for floor I'm assuming because of weight. On/off power switch on hot water heater stopped working so now have to alway turn tank off at the box. Tank sensors don't work half the time. Customer service at Camping World where we bought it was poor. Warranty stunk. Not well made and several things fell apart such as steps, tank supports, floor, furnace. Show less

We wanted to have a trailer that a smaller pickup can tow and wanted a Murphy bed best option with a living room and a bedroom. The features are great and have no problem towing the vehicle. Looking at a number of models and decided to purchase the mini light 21 foot. Once got the trailer home and looked at the construction should have purchased a more expensive model. Why The valance over the sink fell off only attached with 4 screws no stud backing where the screws would go through. The water leaks have become a real problem brought the unit back and fixed under warranty near the end of the first season. Winterized the unit and then using the trailer this season saw that the moulding is soft along the floor. Had a plumber look into the water leaks and no sealant was put around the sink before the counter top was put on. Told that the warranty has expired and still have a leak. Show less
