01 What makes it unique
Forest River lists the 2020 Rockwood Hard Side & Hard Side High Wall A212HW at 2,526 lb dry, a net carrying capacity of 785 lb and a tongue weight of 311 lb. It prints no GVWR for it.

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 2020 comes from where the maker files it on its own site, not from the document’s text.

04 Notes on this floorplan
What Forest River does not publish for the Rockwood Hard Side & Hard Side High Wall A212HW
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 A212HW from 2020. The maker’s own documents for earlier model years also list the A212HW, and that year is printed here: 2019. 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.
