01 What makes it unique
Forest River lists the 2024 Rockwood Freedom 2318G at 2,458 lb dry, a net carrying capacity of 805 lb and a tongue weight of 263 lb. It prints no GVWR for it.
It is 16' 10" 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 2024 comes from where the maker files it on its own site, not from the document’s text.
How the 2318G differs from the other 53 Rockwood Camping Trailers floorplans. Most distinctive first. Sibling pages may cover other model years than this one (2024). How these ranks are worked out.
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 10.7%: shared with the 1910ESP; of 54, nine smaller and 43 larger, nearest the HW296 (10.6%) and the 1930FT (10.8%).
- Tongue weight, 263 lb: twentieth-lightest of 54, between the 2318FT (260 lb) and the 1970ESP (268 lb).
- Cargo capacity, 805 lb: 23rd-smallest of 54, between the A212HW (785 lb) and the 232ESP (842 lb).
- Length, 16 ft 10 in: shared with the 2318FT and 2380FT; of 54, twenty shorter and 31 longer, nearest the 1910ESP and 1910FT (16 ft 9 in) and the 2280 (17 ft 3 in).
- Dry weight, 2,458 lb: 27th-heaviest of 54, between the A122TH (2,408 lb) and the 2270FT (2,478 lb).
- Fresh tank, 20 gal: shared with the 1640ESP, 1910ESP 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 A122TH (2021 page), the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 2318G is 50 lb heavier by dry weight, has 582 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 32 lb lighter and is 5 ft 5 in shorter; the two publish the same fresh tank.

04 Notes on this floorplan
What Forest River does not publish for the Rockwood Freedom 2318G
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 2318G from 2024. The maker’s own documents for earlier model years also list the 2318G, and those 3 years are, each from its own brochure printed here: 2019 to 2023. 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.
