2027 Forest River Rockwood Signature Fifth Wheels329SRK

The Rockwood Signature Fifth Wheels 329SRK leaves Forest River's factory at 9,762 lbs dry with 1,742 lbs of cargo capacity. Forest River publishes no GVWR for this line, so the loaded rating is not quoted on this page and is not computed from the other two figures. What the cargo number covers is defined by the factory: fresh water, gear, food, batteries and every dealer-installed accessory come out of it. Fresh water is 8.3 lb per gallon, so filling the 54-gallon fresh tank spends 448 lbs of the 1,742 lbs before anything else goes in.

Pin weight is 1,504 lbs, which is 15% of the dry weight. That figure lands on the truck's rear axle and comes straight off its payload rating - not its towing rating, which is the number most often quoted and the wrong one for this decision. Pin weight rises as the trailer is loaded, and a fifth wheel loaded toward its cargo capacity will put substantially more than 1,504 lbs over the bed. Read the payload figure on your own door sticker rather than a brochure maximum for the model.

Tank capacities are 54 gallons fresh, 78 grey and 39 black, 117 gallons of waste capacity against 54 gallons of supply. The ratio is what governs how long the trailer can sit off hookups: waste capacity exceeds fresh, so the fresh tank is the binding constraint and refilling extends the stay. Forest River publishes these three figures per floorplan, and they are the factory's numbers rather than a segment average.

Against the rest of the Rockwood Signature Fifth Wheels roster this is the 7th of 19 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 7,523 lbs to 12,824 lbs. It sits in the middle of the line by weight. Comparing floorplans inside one line is more reliable than comparing across brands, because every figure here comes from the same factory channel on the same day.

A useful way to read these figures is to stop planning against the dry weight. Nobody tows a trailer at 9,762 lbs: that is the weight before water, batteries, propane, bedding, food, tools and anything the dealer bolted on. Load half the published cargo capacity and this plan is already near 10,633 lbs on the road. Because Forest River publishes no loaded rating for this line, the ceiling has to come from the trailer's own weight label rather than from this page, and the comparison you make against the tow vehicle should use the loaded figure.

Every number above was captured twice from Forest River and checked against itself before it was published. The line listing and the individual floorplan page are two separate factory renderings of the same trailer, and this plan's 4 shared figures agree exactly on both. There is no published GVWR on this line, so the usual arithmetic check - dry plus cargo equals the rating - has nothing to test against here. Where a figure is missing from this page it is because Forest River does not publish it in this channel, not because it was hard to find - and the row says so rather than being quietly dropped.

Forest River publishes no floorplan description for this plan in the channel this page is built from - only the numeric specification block. Rather than describe a layout from the floorplan code, which would be a guess dressed as a fact, this page carries what the factory publishes and says where it stops. 329SRK is a Rockwood Signature Fifth Wheels designation and this site does not decode it into a layout claim.

How the 329SRK differs from the other eighteen Rockwood Signature Fifth Wheels. Most distinctive first. Each rank counts only the siblings that publish that field, and a figure most of them share is left out. Not every one of these pages covers the same model years as this one (2027); each figure is the one its own page prints, so a rank compares pages, not one model year.

• Cargo capacity, 1,742 lb: third-smallest of nineteen, between the 8291RK (1,701 lb) and the 8294BS (1,766 lb).
• Pin weight, 1,504 lb: fourth-lightest of nineteen, between the 339SBH (1,462 lb) and the 8298KS (1,520 lb).
• Length, 33 ft 6 in: fourth-shortest of nineteen, between the 301SRK (31 ft 8 in) and the 332SRL (35 ft).
• Pin weight as a share of dry weight, 15.4%: shared with the 8294BS; of nineteen, one smaller and sixteen larger, nearest the 8298KS (15.2%) and the 8299SB (15.6%).
• Dry weight, 9,762 lb: seventh-lightest of nineteen, between the R374DBH (9,661 lb) and the 8299SB (9,940 lb).
• Exterior height, 13 ft 1 in: shared with the 301SRK; of nineteen, two lower and fifteen taller, nearest the 332SRL and 339SBH (13 ft) and the 281SRK, 8288SB and four others (13 ft 2 in).
• Grey tank, 78 gal: smallest of nineteen, level with the 281SRK, 301SRK and two others; next are the 8288SB and 8294BS (80 gal).
• Black tank, 39 gal: smallest of nineteen, level with the 281SRK, 290SFK and three others; next are the 8288SB, 8291RK and three others (50 gal).

Next to the R374DBH, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 329SRK is 101 lb heavier by dry weight, has 342 lb less cargo capacity, has a pin weight 241 lb lighter, is 3 ft 4 in shorter, stands 3 in lower, has a grey tank 14 gal smaller and has a black tank 14 gal smaller; the two publish the same fresh tank.

Next to the 8299SB (2021 page), the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 329SRK is 178 lb lighter by dry weight, has 273 lb less cargo capacity, has a pin weight 51 lb lighter, is 2 ft 6 in shorter, stands 1 in lower, has a grey tank 12 gal smaller and has a black tank 11 gal smaller; the two publish the same fresh tank.

Signature is where Rockwood stops being a bumper-pull range. Across the fourteen plans profiled here dry weight runs 7,523 to 12,824 lb and pin weight runs 1,280 to 2,205 lb, which is a payload question before it is a towing one -- pin weight lands on the truck's rear axle, and the heavier plans ask for more of it once passengers and a hitch are in. Pin sits in a band of 15.4 to 19.3 percent of dry weight across the whole roster, so the grouping scales predictably rather than hiding a nose-heavy outlier. Cargo capacity runs 1,461 to 2,674 lb and does not track size: the heaviest plan carries the most, but the second-least accommodating plan is a mid-weight one, so the spread is worth reading per plan rather than by length. Fresh water is 53 or 54 gallons on every plan in the roster; grey runs 78 to 131 gallons and black 39 to 92, so waste capacity is the variable that separates these plans off-grid, not fresh.

A full 54-gallon fresh tank is about 448 lb of water, 26% of the 329SRK’s 1,742 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,294 lb. Across 19 Rockwood Signature Fifth Wheels floorplans the water share runs 17% to 31%, and 2 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Rockwood Signature Fifth Wheels 8294BS at 25% and Rockwood Signature Fifth Wheels 8291RK at 26%.

Closest sibling: the Rockwood Signature Fifth Wheels 332SRL, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 5 of the 7 fields both publish (this plan first): length 33 ft 6 in vs 35 ft 0 in; dry weight 9,762 lb vs 8,943 lb; cargo capacity 1,742 lb vs 2,046 lb; hitch weight 1,504 lb vs 1,535 lb; fresh tank 54 gal vs 53 gal. They match on grey tank and black tank.

Either side of it by dry weight: Rockwood Signature Fifth Wheels R374DBH is 101 lb lighter (9,661 lb dry); Rockwood Signature Fifth Wheels 8299SB is 178 lb heavier (9,940 lb dry).
