01 What makes it unique

Forest River lists the 2026 Rockwood Premier Hardside A101LE at 1,748 lb dry, a net carrying capacity of 1,247 lb and a tongue weight of 255 lb. It prints no GVWR for it.

It is 14' 5" 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 A101LE 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, 14.6%: largest of 54; next are the 1980, A122BHESP and A122THESP (14.5%).
  • Dry weight, 1,748 lb: sixth-lightest of 54, between the 1640ESP (1,722 lb) and the 1640FT (1,763 lb).
  • Length, 14 ft 5 in: seventh-shortest of 54, between the 19OTG (13 ft 10 in) and the 1970ESP (14 ft 11 in).
  • Cargo capacity, 1,247 lb: twelfth-largest of 54, between the 1950 (1,233 lb) and the 1980 (1,255 lb).
  • Tongue weight, 255 lb: eighteenth-lightest of 54, between the 1910ESP (251 lb) and the 2318FT (260 lb).
  • Fresh tank, 18 gal: shared with the 1640FT, 1920FT 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 1640ESP (2020 page), the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the A101LE is 26 lb heavier by dry weight, has 591 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 77 lb heavier, is 2 ft 4 in longer and has a fresh tank 2 gal smaller.

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

04 Notes on this floorplan

What Forest River does not publish for the Rockwood Premier Hardside A101LE

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.
