01 What makes it unique
Forest River lists the 2026 Rockwood Freedom 1640FT at 1,763 lb dry, a net carrying capacity of 583 lb and a tongue weight of 250 lb. It prints no GVWR for it.
It is 11' 10" long. Forest River prints its tanks as 18 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 2026 comes from where the maker files it on its own site, not from the document’s text.

04 Notes on this floorplan
What Forest River does not publish for the Rockwood Freedom 1640FT
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 1640FT from 2026. The maker’s own documents for earlier model years also list the 1640FT, and that year is printed here: 2025. 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.
