01 What makes it unique
Forest River lists the 2026 Rockwood Premier Hardside A122S at 2,120 lb dry, a net carrying capacity of 1,164 lb and a tongue weight of 284 lb. It prints no GVWR for it.
It is 18' 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 A122S 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, 2,120 lb: thirteenth-lightest of 54, between the 2280LTD (2,049 lb) and the 1940F (2,147 lb).
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 13.4%: shared with the 1940LTD; of 54, 44 smaller and eight larger, nearest the 277FT (13.2%) and the A213HW (13.9%).
- Cargo capacity, 1,164 lb: seventeenth-largest of 54, between the A123RG (1,117 lb) and the 2280LTD (1,176 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).
- Tongue weight, 284 lb: 22nd-lightest of 54, between the 1970ESP (268 lb) and the A121FD (285 lb).
- Length, 18 ft 4 in: 26th-shortest of 54, between the A122 (17 ft 5 in) and the A216HS (18 ft 5 in).
Next to the 2280LTD (2022 page), the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the A122S is 71 lb heavier by dry weight, has 12 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 59 lb heavier, is 1 ft 11 in longer and has a fresh tank 8 gal larger.

04 Notes on this floorplan
What Forest River does not publish for the Rockwood Premier Hardside A122S
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.
05 How it compares
2,049 lb dry and Not published by Forest River GVWR, against this model’s 2,120 lb and Not published by Forest River.
2,147 lb dry and Not published by Forest River GVWR, against this model’s 2,120 lb and Not published by Forest River.
06 Loading it for a trip

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 A122S from 2026. The maker’s own documents for earlier model years also list the A122S, and those 5 years are, each from its own brochure printed here: 2019 to 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.
