2027 Forest River Rockwood Ultra Lite / Flagstaff Super Lite2618RD

The Rockwood Ultra Lite 2618RD leaves Forest River's factory at 6,554 lbs dry with 1,920 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 1,920 lbs before anything else goes in.

Tongue weight is 674 lbs, 10% of the dry weight as published; it rises as the trailer is loaded and counts against the tow vehicle’s tongue-weight and payload limits (tongue weight by size).

Off hookups: 90 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 Ultra Lite roster this is the 3rd of 17 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 6,048 lbs to 8,559 lbs. It sits in the lighter third of the line.

Plan the tow on loaded weight, not the 6,554 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 7,514 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: “The 2618RD features a front bedroom with a true queen bed and wardrobe slide. Two entry doors provide easy access to the bedroom, large pass-through bathroom, and kitchen even when slides are in. The rear U-shaped dinette and 67" theater seat create a spacious, comfortable living area, making the 2618RD perfect for couples or small families.” 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 2618RD differs from the other sixteen Rockwood Ultra Lite floorplans. Most distinctive first. Sibling pages may cover other model years than this one (2027). How these ranks are worked out.

• Tongue weight, 674 lb: lightest of seventeen; next is the 301FKT (735 lb).
• Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 10.3%: smallest of seventeen; next is the 2621RB (10.9%).
• Dry weight, 6,554 lb: third-lightest of seventeen, between the 302RDT (6,317 lb) and the 2613BS (6,614 lb).
• Cargo capacity, 1,920 lb: ninth-smallest of seventeen, between the 2912BS (1,898 lb) and the 2613BS (2,101 lb).
• Grey tank, 45 gal: smallest of seventeen, level with the 2906BS, 2911BS and three others; next are the 2608BS, 2613BS and nine others (90 gal).
• Length, 29 ft 9 in: shared with the 2613BS and 2614BS; of seventeen, four shorter and ten longer, nearest the 2608BS, 2619FK and two others (29 ft 8 in) and the 301FKT (29 ft 10 in).
• Exterior height, 11 ft 3 in: shared with the 2619FK, 2720IK and two others; of seventeen, nine lower and three taller, nearest the 2608BS, 2613BS and six others (11 ft 2 in) and the 2711RK, 2916RL and 302RDT (11 ft 7 in).

Next to the 302RDT, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 2618RD is 237 lb heavier by dry weight, has 359 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 122 lb lighter, is 1 in longer and stands 4 in lower; the two publish the same fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Next to the 2613BS (2022 page), the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 2618RD is 60 lb lighter by dry weight, has 181 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 241 lb lighter, stands 1 in taller and has a grey tank 45 gal smaller; the two publish the same length, fresh tank and black tank.

Dry weight across the eight profiled plans runs 6,048 to 8,348 lb and tongue weight runs 674 to 1,010 lb, so check the heavier end of this grouping against your hitch rating once the trailer is loaded. Cargo capacity runs 1,767 to 2,487 lb. The tank set is where the wide-body plans separate themselves: fresh water is 54 gallons on every plan and black is 45, but grey runs from 45 to 90 gallons, which is the difference between a long weekend and a week between dumps for the same fresh-water supply.

A full 54-gallon fresh tank is about 448 lb of water, 23% of the 2618RD’s 1,920 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,472 lb. Across 17 Rockwood Ultra Lite floorplans the water share runs 18% to 33%, and 8 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Rockwood Ultra Lite 2613BS at 21% and Rockwood Ultra Lite 2912BS at 24%.
