01 What makes it unique

Forest River lists the 2020 Rockwood Extreme Sports Package 1640ESP at 1,722 lb dry, a net carrying capacity of 656 lb and a tongue weight of 178 lb. It prints no GVWR for it.

It is 12' 1" long. Forest River prints its tanks as 20 gal fresh.

Every number on this page was read on 7 Nov 2026 from Forest River’s Rockwood camping-trailer brochures (filed in Forest River’s year folders; the brochures print no year); model year 2020 comes from where the maker files it on its own site, not from the document’s text.

How the 1640ESP differs from the other 53 Rockwood Camping Trailers floorplans. Most distinctive first. Sibling pages may cover other model years than this one (2020). How these ranks are worked out.

  • Tongue weight, 178 lb: second-lightest of 54, between the 16OTG (162 lb) and the 19OTG (183 lb).
  • Length, 12 ft 1 in: fourth-shortest of 54, between the 1640FT and 16OTG (11 ft 10 in) and the 1940LTD (13 ft 9 in).
  • Dry weight, 1,722 lb: fifth-lightest of 54, between the 1940LTD (1,685 lb) and the A101LE (1,748 lb).
  • Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 10.3%: shared with the 2318FT; of 54, five smaller and 47 larger, nearest the 1910FT (10.1%) and the 2317G (10.4%).
  • Cargo capacity, 656 lb: thirteenth-smallest of 54, between the A214HW (653 lb) and the A223HW (667 lb).
  • Fresh tank, 20 gal: shared with the 1910ESP, 1910FT and 21 others; of 52, sixteen smaller and twelve larger, nearest the 1640FT, 1920FT and eleven others (18 gal) and the 1950, 2280 and ten others (26 gal).

Next to the 1940LTD (2024 page), the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 1640ESP is 37 lb heavier by dry weight, has 19 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 48 lb lighter, is 1 ft 8 in shorter and has a fresh tank 10 gal larger.

04 Notes on this floorplan

What Forest River does not publish for the Rockwood Extreme Sports Package 1640ESP

Forest River prints no GVWR, tire size, interior height, grey-tank, black-tank, sleeping capacity for this model, so none is given. Nothing is filled from a sibling model, a different model year or a dealer listing.

Read the label on the trailer

Federal rules put a load-carrying label inside every RV trailer: its unloaded weight with full propane, its cargo carrying capacity and its GVWR (49 CFR 571.110 and 571.120). Those figures come from the trailer itself and govern the towing decision.

11 NHTSA safety record

NHTSA files neither recalls nor complaints under the name Rockwood Camping Trailers. That is a filing convention and not a clean record — the roster sits under the parent line, Rockwood & Flagstaff.

Recall coverage here is not complete, and complaints are owners’ unverified reports (how this record is built). Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Rockwood & Flagstaff line page.

Earlier model years

The record at the top of this page is the 1640ESP from 2020. The maker’s own documents for earlier model years also list the 1640ESP, and that year is printed here: 2019. The figures change from year to year, so check the year on the trailer’s own label. A field a year’s brochure does not print reads “Not published” and is never filled from another year.
