Forest River Rockwood Signature Ultra-Lite reviews

I bought my camper used approximately 8 years ago when it was 5 years old. We are happy with the layout of the camper and the quality of the cabinets, etc. We have had a couple issues that I am not sure if anyone else has experienced? 1). When we set up our camper we cannot perfectly level the camper while running the a/c without water dripping in the floor of the camper. If I slightly raise the side where the doors are (right side) the water will then run off the roof and down the gutter spouts. Not sure why it does this? 2) Last summer when driving home from a camping trip in late July the face of the radio fell out of the wall and was hanging by the wires. I had to just screw in back into the wall to hold it in place, but now the radio doesn’t work. 3). Carbon dioxide detector was chirping in non stop and so I had to cut the wires and put a movable carbon dioxide in the camper to be safe. Show less

This camper has been a great camper for us. It is big enough with enough storage we have stayed in it for weeks at a time, it is just like a home away from home. It is also easy to pull, it has been through the mountains with no problems, just a dream to pull and stay in. There are no issues with it, the tires are new and the automatic stabilizers and jack make set up a dream. I love using the outdoor kitchen when it is hot to keep the inside kitchen clean. Absolutely nothing I would change about it. 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

Have owned this trailer for almost 4 years. I've been all over the country. Every time I go out something breaks. The wall unit that holds the TV bounced away from the wall , made a mess of the ceiling. Th e rear cap has seperated off the floor, the insurance co.will pay $5,000 for that and the wall unit. I first purchased the trailer the cheap Chines tire blew, tire warranty covered only the warranty on the tire $30. The damage was over $1,000. Forest River would not cover anything. I purchased the parts from them at full price. Water pump went out. I would not recommend a Forest River product. 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

When I bought mine I loved the layout for us. But...every water connection leaked. Year later still dealing with leaks. I have replaced almost every water line. The lazy boy chairs were both broken. And the air conditioner never worked. Lucky I had added another ac unit when I bought it. The people who sell these would not honor the warranty. They insited that I had to come all the way 7 hours back to them. I was traveling and could not get back there. After hemming and hawwing with these guys they couldn't even tell me where I could go somewhere else to get it fixed. They will tell you they did a pressure check but they don't. Insist they do and be there to watch.alao they didn't give us the right remotes for either tv. Piss poor quality checks and terrible sales company seem to be the order of the day with these. Protect your self from these vultures. They have no integrity or pride. After service is abysmal. Buy at your own risk. Show less

We bought this RV brand new. We have had a wonderful few years using it, but we are moving on to the next stage in life, but now we are wanting a bunkhouse and something that we can travel for long periods of time! Show less

We traded in our forest river travel trailer that never had a problem and purchased a Rockwood fifth wheel. BIG mistake. We love the floor plan, towing and living. Quality is a problem. It wasn’t even off the lot the first time when Santa Rosa RV let us know the microwave didn’t work. They ordered a new one back in it went for replacement. The first time we were going to take it out the slide outs wouldn’t come in as the whole electrical panel ceased to function. We had to pay $250 for mobile Rv to come out and assist getting three slide outs in. Back in it went for repairs it was two months old. At 11 months the refrigeration quit working. That was in April it is now December and we still have no refrigeration. It has been in the repair shop numerous times they can’t figure it out. We were promised they would order a new refrigerator and now they are telling us the warranty company is saying no yet another cooling unit to be replaced. I cannot stress enough how I would avoid Rockwood or Santa Rosa RV for repairs. Show less

I live in my 8329ss with Diamond package full-time 2 years now. And I love it perfect floor plan for full-time living. Although now I do need to get a bigger truck perhaps a Dodge Ram 2500. No issues with this camper other than a few Staples are popping out of the trim Show less
