2027 Forest River Rockwood Ultra Lite / Flagstaff Super Lite2916RL

The Rockwood Ultra Lite 2916RL leaves Forest River's factory at 8,348 lbs dry with 2,151 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 2,151 lbs before anything else goes in.

Tongue weight is 920 lbs, 11% 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 16th of 17 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 6,048 lbs to 8,559 lbs. It sits in the heavier third of the line.

Plan the tow on loaded weight, not the 8,348 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 9,424 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 Rockwood 2916RL Ultra Lite delivers a spacious, comfortable layout designed for easy towing without sacrificing features. Up front, it offers a private bedroom with a true queen bed. The large bathroom includes a rectangular shower and linen storage for convenience. The massive living area features a TV, fireplace, 78" hide a bed, 68" theater seating, and a 44" dinette, while the kitchen island provides extra…” 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 2916RL 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.

• Dry weight, 8,348 lb: second-heaviest of seventeen, between the 2720IK (8,324 lb) and the 2906BS (8,559 lb).
• Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 11%: third-smallest of seventeen, between the 2621RB (10.9%) and the 2614BS (11.4%).
• Length, 35 ft 4 in: fourth-longest of seventeen, between the 2902SW (35 ft 3 in) and the 2906BS, 2911BS and 2911SB (35 ft 5 in).
• Cargo capacity, 2,151 lb: fifth-largest of seventeen, between the 2902SW (2,110 lb) and the 2911BS and 2911SB (2,233 lb).
• Exterior height, 11 ft 7 in: tallest of seventeen, level with the 2711RK and 302RDT; next are the 2618RD, 2619FK and three others (11 ft 3 in).
• Grey tank, 45 gal: smallest of seventeen, level with the 2618RD, 2906BS and three others; next are the 2608BS, 2613BS and nine others (90 gal).
• Tongue weight, 920 lb: shared with the 2902SW; of seventeen, eight lighter and seven heavier, nearest the 2613BS (915 lb) and the 2706WS (921 lb).

Next to the 2720IK (2022 page), the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 2916RL is 24 lb heavier by dry weight, has 640 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 115 lb lighter, is 2 ft 3 in longer, stands 4 in taller and has a grey tank 45 gal smaller; the two publish the same fresh tank and black tank.

Next to the 2906BS (2022 page), the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 2916RL is 211 lb lighter by dry weight, has 810 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 180 lb lighter, is 1 in shorter and stands 4 in taller; the two publish the same fresh tank, grey 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, 21% of the 2916RL’s 2,151 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,703 lb. Across 17 Rockwood Ultra Lite floorplans the water share runs 18% to 33%, and 12 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Rockwood Ultra Lite 2911BS at 20% and Rockwood Ultra Lite 2902SW at 21%.
