01 What makes it unique

Forest River lists the 2026 Rockwood Premier Hardside A101RB at 1,924 lb dry, a net carrying capacity of 1,304 lb and a tongue weight of 228 lb. It prints no GVWR for it.

It is 16' 4" 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 A101RB 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.

  • Dry weight, 1,924 lb: eighth-lightest of 54, between the 1640FT (1,763 lb) and the 1950 (1,997 lb).
  • Cargo capacity, 1,304 lb: ninth-largest of 54, between the 2280BHESP (1,260 lb) and the 2280FT (1,307 lb).
  • Tongue weight, 228 lb: eleventh-lightest of 54, between the 1940LTD (226 lb) and the 1950 (230 lb).
  • Length, 16 ft 4 in: eleventh-shortest of 54, between the 1980 (15 ft 7 in) and the 2280LTD, A121FD and A123RG (16 ft 5 in).
  • 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).
  • Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 11.9%: shared with the 1970ESP and A223HW; of 54, 25 smaller and 26 larger, nearest the A213HWESP (11.6%) and the 2270FT (12.1%).

Next to the 1640FT, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the A101RB is 161 lb heavier by dry weight, has 721 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 22 lb lighter and is 4 ft 6 in longer; the two publish the same fresh tank.

Next to the 1950 (2020 page), the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the A101RB is 73 lb lighter by dry weight, has 71 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 2 lb lighter, is 1 ft longer and has a fresh tank 8 gal smaller.

04 Notes on this floorplan

What Forest River does not publish for the Rockwood Premier Hardside A101RB

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 A101RB from 2026. The maker’s own documents for earlier model years also list the A101RB, 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.
