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.

How the 1640FT differs from the other 53 Rockwood Camping Trailers floorplans. Most distinctive first. Sibling pages may cover other model years than this one (2026). How these ranks are worked out.

  • Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 14.2%: fifth-largest of 54, between the 19OTG and A123RG (14.1%) and the 1980, A122BHESP and A122THESP (14.5%).
  • Length, 11 ft 10 in: shared with the 16OTG; of 54, one shorter and 51 longer, nearest the 1640LTD (11 ft 9 in) and the 1640ESP (12 ft 1 in).
  • Dry weight, 1,763 lb: seventh-lightest of 54, between the A101LE (1,748 lb) and the A101RB (1,924 lb).
  • Cargo capacity, 583 lb: eighth-smallest of 54, between the A213HS (577 lb) and the 2514G (599 lb).
  • Tongue weight, 250 lb: sixteenth-lightest of 54, between the 1940F (244 lb) and the 1910ESP (251 lb).
  • Fresh tank, 18 gal: shared with the 1920FT, 1930FT and ten others; of 52, three smaller and 36 larger, nearest the 1640LTD, 1940LTD and 2280LTD (10 gal) and the 1640ESP, 1910ESP and 22 others (20 gal).

Next to the A101LE, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 1640FT is 15 lb heavier by dry weight, has 664 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 5 lb lighter and is 2 ft 7 in shorter; the two publish the same fresh tank.

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.
