2027 Forest River Rockwood Signature Fifth Wheels404SRK

The Rockwood Signature Fifth Wheels 404SRK leaves Forest River's factory at 11,804 lbs dry with 2,401 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 2,401 lbs before anything else goes in.

Pin weight is 2,205 lbs, 19% of the dry weight as published; it rises as the trailer is loaded and comes off the truck’s payload, not its towing rating, so check it against the payload on your own door sticker (pin weight and payload).

Off hookups: 145 gallons of grey and black capacity against 54 gallons of fresh water, so fresh water runs out first (tank sizes by length).

Against the rest of the Rockwood Signature Fifth Wheels roster this is the 17th of 19 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 7,523 lbs to 12,824 lbs. It sits in the heavier third of the line.

Plan the tow on loaded weight, not the 11,804 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 13,004 lbs. Forest River publishes no loaded rating for this line, so the ceiling is the one on the trailer’s own weight label (how to read trailer weights).

Forest River’s line listing and this floorplan’s own factory page agree on all 4 shared figures. No GVWR is published for this line, so dry plus cargo has no rating to check against. A missing row means Forest River does not publish that figure (how figures are verified).

Forest River's own description of this floorplan reads: “This Wide Body fifth wheel is a rear kitchen layout features expansive counter space, residential style appliances, and abundant storage, making it ideal for those who love to cook while traveling. The mid living area features an L-shaped sofa with an integrated Hide-a-bed and 52" theater seat that requires no dismantling when the slides are retracted. Up front you have a private bedroom with a king bed and generous…” That is the factory's marketing copy rather than a specification, and nothing in it is treated as a verified field on this page - layout descriptions, sleeping arrangements and feature claims in factory copy are not carried into the spec table unless the factory also publishes them as specifications.

How the 404SRK differs from the other eighteen Rockwood Signature Fifth Wheels. Most distinctive first. Sibling pages may cover other model years than this one (2027). How these ranks are worked out.

• Pin weight, 2,205 lb: heaviest of nineteen; next is the 403SDB (2,190 lb).
• Dry weight, 11,804 lb: third-heaviest of nineteen, between the 401SFB (11,460 lb) and the 402SFL (11,989 lb).
• Cargo capacity, 2,401 lb: third-largest of nineteen, between the R361RLS (2,197 lb) and the 301SRK (2,440 lb).
• Length, 41 ft 5 in: longest of nineteen, level with the 403SDB; next are the 401SFB and 402SFL (40 ft).
• Pin weight as a share of dry weight, 18.7%: shared with the 290SFK; of nineteen, sixteen smaller and one larger, nearest the R361RLS (18.2%) and the R371RK (19.3%).
• Grey tank, 92 gal: shared with the R361RLS, R371RK and R374DBH; of nineteen, twelve smaller and three larger, nearest the 8291RK, 8298KS and 8299SB (90 gal) and the 290SFK (108 gal).
• Exterior height, 13 ft 4 in: shared with the 401SFB, R361RLS and three others; of nineteen, eleven lower and two taller, nearest the 290SFK (13 ft 3 in) and the 402SFL and 403SDB (13 ft 5 in).
• Black tank, 53 gal: shared with the 402SFL, R361RLS and three others; of nineteen, eleven smaller and two larger, nearest the 8288SB, 8291RK and three others (50 gal) and the 401SFB and 403SDB (92 gal).

Next to the 401SFB, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 404SRK is 344 lb heavier by dry weight, has 365 lb more cargo capacity, has a pin weight 126 lb heavier, is 1 ft 5 in longer, has a grey tank 9 gal larger and has a black tank 39 gal smaller; the two publish the same exterior height and fresh tank.

Next to the 402SFL, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 404SRK is 185 lb lighter by dry weight, has 245 lb more cargo capacity, has a pin weight 60 lb heavier, is 1 ft 5 in longer, stands 1 in lower and has a grey tank 39 gal smaller; the two publish the same fresh tank and black 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, 19% of the 404SRK’s 2,401 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,953 lb. Across 19 Rockwood Signature Fifth Wheels floorplans the water share runs 17% to 31%, and 16 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Rockwood Signature Fifth Wheels 301SRK at 18% and Rockwood Signature Fifth Wheels R361RLS at 20%.
