2027 Forest River Rockwood Ultra Lite / Flagstaff Super Lite301FKT

The Rockwood Ultra Lite 301FKT leaves Forest River's factory at 6,048 lbs dry with 2,487 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 2,487 lbs before anything else goes in.

Tongue weight is 735 lbs, 12% 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: 135 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 1st of 17 floorplans by dry weight, in a line that runs from 6,048 lbs to 8,559 lbs. It is the lightest plan in the line, which makes it the one to look at first if the tow vehicle is the constraint.

Plan the tow on loaded weight, not the 6,048 lbs dry figure: half the published cargo capacity brings this plan to about 7,292 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: “Introducing the Rockwood 301FKT-a slide-free, wide body travel trailer built for true campsite accessibility and effortless towing. With no slides to deal with, the setup is quick, easy and simple. The front kitchen offers abundant counter space and great workflow while the central living area provides comfort and function. A private bedroom, well-appointed bath, and thoughtful storage make this rugged yet refined…” 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 301FKT 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, 6,048 lb: lightest of seventeen; next is the 302RDT (6,317 lb).
• Cargo capacity, 2,487 lb: largest of seventeen; next is the 302RDT (2,279 lb).
• Tongue weight, 735 lb: second-lightest of seventeen, between the 2618RD (674 lb) and the 2621RB (740 lb).
• Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 12.2%: eighth-smallest of seventeen, between the 2619FK, 2902SW and 2912BS (12.1%) and the 2720IK (12.4%).
• Length, 29 ft 10 in: eighth-shortest of seventeen, between the 2613BS, 2614BS and 2618RD (29 ft 9 in) and the 2706WS (32 ft 10 in).
• Exterior height, 11 ft 3 in: shared with the 2618RD, 2619FK 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 heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 301FKT is 269 lb lighter by dry weight, has 208 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 61 lb lighter, is 2 in longer, stands 4 in lower and has a grey tank 45 gal larger; the two publish the same 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, 18% of the 301FKT’s 2,487 lb cargo capacity, leaving 2,039 lb. Across 17 Rockwood Ultra Lite floorplans the water share runs 18% to 33%, and this plan’s is the lowest. Nearest on that share: Rockwood Ultra Lite 302RDT at 20%.
