01 What makes it unique
Forest River lists the 2021 Rockwood Hard Side A122 at 2,014 lb dry, a net carrying capacity of 1,208 lb and a tongue weight of 222 lb. It prints no GVWR for it.
It is 17' 5" 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 2021 comes from where the maker files it on its own site, not from the document’s text.

- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 11%: shared with the 2280LTD, 2514F and 2514G; of 54, twelve smaller and 38 larger, nearest the 1930FT (10.8%) and the 1920FT (11.1%).
- Length, 17 ft 5 in: 25th-shortest of 54, between the 2280 (17 ft 3 in) and the A122S (18 ft 4 in).

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 A122 from 2021. The maker’s own documents for earlier model years also list the A122, and those 2 years are, each from its own brochure printed here: 2019 to 2020. 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.
