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.

How the A122 differs from the other 53 Rockwood Camping Trailers floorplans. Most distinctive first. Sibling pages may cover other model years than this one (2021). How these ranks are worked out.

  • Tongue weight, 222 lb: eighth-lightest of 54, between the 282TESP (221 lb) and the 2280LTD (225 lb).
  • Dry weight, 2,014 lb: tenth-lightest of 54, between the 1950 (1,997 lb) and the 1980 (2,041 lb).
  • Cargo capacity, 1,208 lb: fourteenth-largest of 54, between the A213HWESP (1,198 lb) and the 1950 (1,233 lb).
  • 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).
  • 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 1950 (2020 page), the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the A122 is 17 lb heavier by dry weight, has 25 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 8 lb lighter, is 2 ft 1 in longer and has a fresh tank 6 gal smaller.

Next to the 1980 (2024 page), the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the A122 is 27 lb lighter by dry weight, has 47 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 74 lb lighter and is 1 ft 10 in longer; the two publish the same fresh tank.

04 Notes on this floorplan

What Forest River does not publish for the Rockwood Hard Side A122

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 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.
