01 What makes it unique

Forest River lists the 2026 Rockwood Premier Hardside A213HS at 2,728 lb dry, a net carrying capacity of 577 lb and a tongue weight of 305 lb. It prints no GVWR for it.

It is 20' 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 A213HS 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.

  • Cargo capacity, 577 lb: seventh-smallest of 54, between the HW276 (547 lb) and the 1640FT (583 lb).
  • Dry weight, 2,728 lb: twelfth-heaviest of 54, between the A214HW (2,700 lb) and the 2317G (2,795 lb).
  • Length, 20 ft 4 in: shared with the A213HW and A214HW; of 54, 41 shorter and ten longer, nearest the 2716F (19 ft 4 in) and the A212HW and A213HWESP (20 ft 10 in).
  • Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 11.2%: eighteenth-smallest of 54, between the 1920FT (11.1%) and the A213HWOR (11.3%).
  • 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, 305 lb: shared with the 2280FT and A213HWOR; of 54, 36 lighter and fifteen heavier, nearest the A213HWESP (302 lb) and the A123RG (310 lb).

Next to the A214HW (2024 page), the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the A213HS is 28 lb heavier by dry weight, has 76 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 48 lb lighter and has a fresh tank 2 gal smaller; the two publish the same length.

Next to the 2317G (2019 page), the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the A213HS is 67 lb lighter by dry weight, has 80 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 13 lb heavier, is 1 ft 6 in longer and has a fresh tank 8 gal smaller.

04 Notes on this floorplan

What Forest River does not publish for the Rockwood Premier Hardside A213HS

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 A213HS from 2026. The maker’s own documents for earlier model years also list the A213HS, and that year is printed here: 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.
