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.

It is 20' 10" long. Forest River prints its tanks as 26 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 2020 comes from where the maker files it on its own site, not from the document’s text.

How the A212HW differs from the other 53 Rockwood Camping Trailers floorplans. Most distinctive first. Sibling pages may cover other model years than this one (2020). How these ranks are worked out.

  • Length, 20 ft 10 in: shared with the A213HWESP; of 54, 44 shorter and eight longer, nearest the A213HS, A213HW and A214HW (20 ft 4 in) and the A213HWOR and A223HW (21 ft 2 in).
  • Tongue weight, 311 lb: fourteenth-heaviest of 54, between the A123RG (310 lb) and the A223HW (315 lb).
  • Fresh tank, 26 gal: largest of 52, level with the 1950, 2280 and nine others; next are the 1640ESP, 1910ESP and 22 others (20 gal).
  • Dry weight, 2,526 lb: 21st-heaviest of 54, between the 2318FT and A216HS (2,523 lb) and the 2280BHESP (2,578 lb).
  • Cargo capacity, 785 lb: 22nd-smallest of 54, between the 1640LTD (778 lb) and the 2318G (805 lb).
  • Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 12.3%: shared with the 16OTG and A122TH; of 54, 30 smaller and 21 larger, nearest the 2280FT (12.2%) and the 2716F (12.6%).

Next to the 2318FT (2025 page), the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the A212HW is 3 lb heavier by dry weight, has 48 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 51 lb heavier, is 4 ft longer and has a fresh tank 6 gal larger.

Next to the 2280BHESP (2024 page), the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the A212HW is 52 lb lighter by dry weight, has 475 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 27 lb lighter, is 2 ft 3 in longer and has a fresh tank 6 gal larger.

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.
