2022 Forest River Rockwood Ultra Lite / Flagstaff Super Lite2912BS

The Rockwood Ultra Lite 2912BS leaves Forest River's factory at 7,854 lbs dry with 1,898 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 1,898 lbs before anything else goes in.

Dry tongue weight is 952 lbs, or 12% of the dry weight. Ten to fifteen percent is the conventional band for a bumper-pull trailer, and this plan sits inside it as published. Tongue weight is not fixed: it moves with how the trailer is loaded, and weight added ahead of the axles raises it. A weight-distribution hitch is the normal fitment at this tongue load, and the tow vehicle's tongue-weight limit is a separate number from its trailer-weight limit.

Tank capacities are 54 gallons fresh, 90 grey and 45 black, 135 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 Ultra Lite roster this is the 7th of 9 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 6,158 lbs to 8,559 lbs. It sits in the heavier third of the line. 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 7,854 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 8,803 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 read from one factory document: Forest River's own 2022 brochure for this line, and each figure was read back against that document's text before it was published. This is a single-channel record rather than the two-page cross-check this site runs on saved factory web pages, and it is described that way rather than dressed up as more. The brochure publishes no GVWR for this line, so the loaded rating is shown as not published and is never computed from dry weight plus cargo capacity. Where a figure is missing from this page it is because the brochure does not publish it, 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. 2912BS is a Rockwood Ultra Lite designation and this site does not decode it into a layout claim.

Ultra Lite is where the Rockwood range stops being a mid-size-SUV proposition. Dry weight runs 6,614 to 8,559 lb across the seven plans profiled here and dry tongue weight runs 796 to 1,100 lb, which is enough hitch load that weight distribution stops being optional and the tow vehicle's own payload starts to matter. Cargo capacity runs 1,341 to 2,233 lb, and the heaviest trailer on the roster has the least of it - so the plan that looks like the most capable one on dry weight is the one with the least room to load. Fresh water is 54 gallons and black is 45 on every plan; grey is either 45 or 90 gallons. Lengths run 29 ft 9 in to 33 ft 1 in.

A full 54-gallon fresh tank is about 450 lb of water, 24% of the 2912BS’s 1,898 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,448 lb. Across 17 Rockwood Ultra Lite floorplans the water share runs 18% to 34%, and 7 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Rockwood Ultra Lite 2618RD at 23% and Rockwood Ultra Lite 2608BS at 25%.

Closest sibling: the Rockwood Ultra Lite 2902SW, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 4 of the 7 fields both publish (this plan first): length 35 ft 2 in vs 35 ft 3 in; dry weight 7,854 lb vs 7,610 lb; cargo capacity 1,898 lb vs 2,110 lb; dry hitch weight 952 lb vs 920 lb. They match on fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Either side of it by dry weight: Rockwood Ultra Lite 2711RK is 151 lb lighter (7,703 lb dry); Rockwood Ultra Lite 2720IK is 470 lb heavier (8,324 lb dry).
