I THINK you are one of the most patient men I've ever seen. Whoever got you won the lottery ! :)
Great pop up camper! Huge amount of room when set up, large comfortable beds and easy to tow. I am 70 years old and find the set up of my Rockwood fun and easy. My grand children love it. Excellent instructional video. I learned a lot. Thanks.
People saying it takes to long to set up didn't watch the video it was like 20 mins in total but he kept on explaining each step and also showing what you can do with certain things, storage etc, and also those saying 45min video to setup really did not watch cause it also has the tear down of it. Great video
I bet you could get it set up enough in 2 minutes to fry a hamburger out of the rain!
Yeah if I could set this up in :20 I’d buy it
Pretty nice large size pop up with great and nice ideas
I'm surprised at all the comments about long set up time. Two people could get that done in 10 minutes. Zipping up the awning on the break down looks like the hardest part! lol
Same, here. As for the awning, I can see just taking an industrial-grade EZ-Up shelter with me, like the EZ-Up Endeavor. Enclose it all or in part or not at all, and that thing'll stand up to anything your RV will.
Very nice pop-up, thoughtfully designed with what looks like direct access to the refrigerator when in travel mode, but holy moly -- $20,000! You can find a lot of travel trailers for that kind of money. Still, it's nice to be able to store a pop-up trailer in the garage like we do, which saves on RV storage lot fees if you can't park elsewhere at home.
I take my hat off to you. You did a professional job the whole time in front of a camera no less. I had a different brand of pop-up years ago that was the same to set up so I know what is involved. My wife and I were a good team setting this up. As people get older a lot of time they don't want to do this much work but you have to pay for all that convenience and extra weight. It's all about your choices through life. Thanks for the video!
This video is exactly what I was looking for. Though we purchased a different model, this camper has many of the same features. We downsized from a Class C and so a pop-up is completely foreign to us. The setup walk through at the dealer took about 10 minutes and I retained nothing. I needed this detailed video so I could make a checklist for us to use for the first few trips and until we become more comfortable with setup and take down. Thank you!
Thank you, for your feedback it is much appreciated.
I just bought a new/used HW27KS this week. I'm a single guy of 66 and it doesn't look like too much work to me. I've set up and taken down tent camping a few times in the rain and it's just what you have to do. I'm retired and don't have to be anywhere so I can wait out the rain too. Lots of space, very comfortable, lighter to tow than a hardside and I love being able to have all of the windows open to the screens and the airflow that comes through. Great video by the way.
another patient man...how nice.
Hell,The money i invest in a Rv camper,It has amenities,accessories!This is awesome!!
Stove, sink, and grill that pulls outside…very nice
Excellent demonstration, covers everything really well and makes it seem very easy!
Excellent demonstration!!!!!!!!! But after all that work, I just rather by a travel trailer and not have to do all that work. I couldnt do it now anyway.
The demonstration was superb!! You must have done it many times to do it so fast. Thanks!
This is a great video. Wish there were more like it. It gave me a real sense of what the real life set-up and tear-down would be like. Great Job!
This guy deserves a raise .
He most certainly does! Simply because he was trying to show off the best features of something he clearly knew nothing about. He did a good job, give the guy a raise.
Great video! Just bought a used 2005 Rockwood Highwall and have been remodeling it. Even though it's an older model many of the features and setup are the same. It does take a bit of work to set up, but my wife and I can get it done in 10 minutes. Still beats tent camping, especially in the rain or when the showers are closed (thanks COVID-19!).
Best demo on the web for popup set up and break down. Learned more on this video then any other. It looks like setup is a bit of a workout for one person but two working as a team should go through this smoothly. Love this camper.
Need this unit now for us. Enjoyed watching the set up. I get snagged on stuff a lot more than you. Should do this in July so everyone can see how sweaty you get. I don't think popups are difficult to set up. I think your expectation of how hard it will be is if your idea of camping is in a hard side box which is fine too. This is a little more work but get the whole fam involved like a drill. Be done sooner than you think.
This is the best RV camper video by saying thank you brother you did a very good job wow so much detail so much understanding
Excellent video. Really appreciate you showing us what a complete and total PIA that is.
When I was a kid and we had our Apache Mesa, it just never seemed that hard.
Happy Camping All!
I would say this is the same amount of time setting up a large family tent, air mattresses, getting the bedding ready, and setting up your kitchen. You go tent camper for the cheapest way to get into RV'ing for the most amount of sleeping space. I'm looking to upgrade from a tent to a tent camper to get off the ground, gain heat and AC, and have some nice livable seating space inside. Its interesting to see what a higher end model does, but I'm more interested in a simpler model sans bathroom.
Just bought one and loving it!!! Hubby n I love popup campers due to towing and space.
I have a 34 foot travel trailer now and I'm thinking of going to a pop up because I won't get back to the basics of camping not glamping The Rockwood high wall 296 seems like a great alternative this was a great video on how easy they are to set up thank you very much keep up the good work
I mean a pop up is still kind of glamping in my opinion 😂
If you want to get back to basics just invest in a nice tent and some sleeping bags
Awesome video! We just bought one this week. Going to go through your video again and make a set up and tear down check list. Two of us doing it and we are sure to get a system down. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this!
Great set up, didn't know Pop-ups were so everything self contained to the max👍
Thank you very much for this video. You went into more detail than most. What would be even more helpful is showing the proper procedure for filling the fresh water tank and water heater as well as draining. Other than that, this video was very helpful. Im getting this exact year and model surprisingly new and unused and trying to learn the details of it before I buy it.
Thanks for the detailed video. Very informative!
I love it !! and the demonstration was excellent ! and I am 72 with only one leg. would love to have one . ;) Thank You so much ! ;)
Thank you. Great video and resource. I just bought a 2012. I did the take down with the seller and it is a piece of cake. Considering the amount of money I’m saving on a depreciating asset, this is a great starter “RV”.
This is the Cadillac of pop up campers
Great pop-up camper easy to set up huge amount of room
Nice pop up, they have come a long way since the old days. When I was a kid we used to go camping in a motor home. Family pulls in next to us in a brand new Coleman pop up with no air conditioning in July. By the third day they were all screaming at one another and left the pop up for a hotel.
LOL! Best time to camp in the South is FALL.
A+ on the demonstration. A lot of stuff to setup/teardown. Especially in the rain, cold, dark or windy conditions. But.... well made and thought out. Well appointed too with quite a few options for a small weekender camper. Was windering what the takehome price would be.
When tying up the awning inside its bag, I recommend to tie the two end straps first, and don't tie the middle straps too tightly. Ours started pulling open the seam at the top of the bag right at that middle spot. Full replacement was covered under warranty, but that ends soon enough.
By the time you finish setting up. You need a day just to sleep all day long.
After setup...I'd need a Whisky!!
Try setting up a traditional tent, lol. I'm sure it takes a little practice, but after a few times, and if you have a friend to help who is with you, probably not too bad.
People say to start off with a pop-up camper and then you can graduate to an actual normal camper etc. but that’s the thing what I love about pop-up campers is the fact that it could go into a garage. Not everyone has the space to store an actual camper.
This was a huge help. Thank you for this long video explaining everything.
Hmmm what's that noise @ 13:19 mark LOL!! Great video btw, thank you
😂😂😂
You did a hell of job, thank you for showing the whole process
Beautiful. My dream pop up.
Your videos are the best. That's about as detailed as it gets. We have decided on this exact unit this year but are picking it up later in the season
I would set it up ONCE then drive it around all set up
NOW, you're thinkin'!
when i was a kid, my parents had a pop up. they quickly upgraded to a full travel trailer BUT i loved setting up the pop up.
it’s kinda cool to see the innovations that they’ve made to them since i last had one. i would love to get a pop up again for myself to take camping. it’s a lot of work, but to me it’s so worth it once you’re all set up!
We bought a used one in perfect condition about 4 years ago and we only paid $7900 for it. We can setup and tear down with the two of us in about 15 minutes! We love ours!
Great demonstration. Very comprehensive. Made it clear set up and take down can be done by one person.
That bathroom is sickkkkk
The best pop up camper floorplan of all time. (End of Story)
To be honest I wish this was a thing 4-5 years ago when we had our Forest River pop-up.
@@thatamericansailor6078 : Yeah, that slide-out is pretty nifty. You can have 4-handed poker and a blitz-chess tournament in a blizzard! That'd be stretchin' it, but the giant slide-out beds at either end really opens up the floor plan.
Very informational video, thank you. I just recently bought a 2011 Rockwood HW277 few weeks ago. Was worried about how to turn on everyrhing etc but after watching this video, it helped alot.
I’m really impressed
So dang impressive! Thank you!
I have set up, and camped in one of these before, but it wasn't as nice as this one. Yes it takes a little time, but a thirty minute set for something which can sleep six, if it has to isn't all that bad. Having a warm place to take care of your personal needs beats the heck out of cold tent set up outside the camper. If worse cane to worse this would surely beat a tent on the ground as a form of emergency housing. Sadly they never talk about how much these things cost.
We have a Jayco 1207 and this one is such an improvement!!! We want to upgrade, but don't have the storage for a travel trailer. This would be our solution!! Thanks for the demonstration. I think I will start looking for a High Wall!!!
When you're hungover and just trying to gtf home I would hate this thing.
HaHaHa.....
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Thank you for the detailed video. Very helpful
Well engineered. Really nice.
Great Demo! Thanks.
Awesome video thanks man
We have a 27ft travel trailer now but I really do miss my pop-up! There's so many more places you can go with a pop-up that you just can't go with a big TT. Wish I would have known that when we bought the TT.
I never considered that. Where can a pop-up this size go that a 20-27' trailer cannot?
Thank you very much, I just purchased the very one your working on. Now I know what to expect. Looking forward, to enjoying it. Like anything your enjoy, you need to maintain it. The hands on approach allows you to inspect as you go.
Thanks for your comment Anthony C, happy camping.
Note- get the special connector for your grey water, and change your outside locks asap. If possible a cover to keep the heat from effecting your batteries and keep it newer looking. I'm enjoying it your not limited to going anywhere, and delegate the pop-up duties. Good luck 4/26/18
anthony cooper how much was it?
Great video! Take up AND tear down! Awesome 👍😁‼️ you guy's Rock 💪. I'm thinking of getting THIS for the family towing behind a 2019 Honda Ridgeline AWD. We're thinking of doing Park camping alongside the California coast with the family from time to time 13 times a year. This would be a great trailer to meet needs AND be super comfortable towing! ✊💯👏 Love the show!
I've set up alot of these, good job!!
This would be perfect for my daughter and I, a lot to remember. But I’m sure after a couple times of doing it, we will have it down pat. Plus, it’s not too fancy and not big or too small. 😁
Fantastic video! Thank you
That's pretty neat I'll definitely be investing in one of these. Great video.
Not great for a rainy day trying to set this up
Several things spring to mind. It looks to be very watertight once set up. However, putting up or taking down during the rain. Things could get rather wet. I would also question the durability of the velcro. Also, the awning would be a problem if the wind got up. Taking it down with the camper set would be difficult.
Thank you for your time
Wow I love this.
I have a Rockwood pop up so I'm im used to the work but good grief that thing seems like it would take an hour to set up lol
I always wonder. How would it be to disassmble this trailer in a wet day. Because the tent will be all wet potencilly soaking the trailer's inside I can't see something made to avoid that.
When you got home, you'd have to set it up again so the canvas would dry out or the mildew would rot the canvas! Lots of work!
Great job, informative.
Holy crap, this thing needs more checklists than a commercial airliner! It takes less time than this to get a 737 airbourne from cold and dark!
Great video!!!
I had breakfast, took a shower, went to the store, took a nap, and ate lunch before he was done setting it up
Coy Stormo wow. Video is only 45minutes. Store must be next door and a very brief nap. For a pop up, it is pretty nice. When I was a teen, the family had one. It had a wardrobe, solid that would flip to upright position. The bottom portion acted as a pantry. Of course, no way to eliminate or shower in the camper, so this is a nice addition. Also, it takes longer to do something when you are giving an explanation and demonstration on how to do.
Coy Stormo but it is still a n Alright Video😁🆗🆒
Right? I have a Coleman pop up and I could tow it to another state, set it up, and make dinner on the outside stove before this guy finished fiddling with the bed ends
The door looks like a pain in the ass ...no thank you I'll take my wolf pup back it in level it push the button to have the awning pop out and I'm f****** done
@@sharonmurray2344 : Yes. You get it. This has all the conveniences that all the hard sides have and none of the tent trailers have. Just about everywhere I go, out West, you're going to encounter high winds and steep, winding grades. I get that those big-box RVs are setting up long-term base camps for outdoor rec, where they're all set up in rows at a big RV park, but part of the fun, for me, is only having to deal with the people I brought with me or agreed to meet, and I like to stretch how long I'm off-grid as far as possible, and stretch the winter boundary.
This would be about the perfect trailer, if you beefed-up the suspension and wheels and tires (ESP is a small step in the right direction), and replaced the outdoor galley with a rocket stove install, it'd be the next best thing to packing in on horseback, and would serve as a base camp even if you were spending nights out on horseback away from the main camp.
Nice video. Very helpful. This camper will work well for some folks out there, but I wasn't really a fan of the soft side campers to begin with. To me, it's not much more than a fancy tent. This takes a lot of work to setup but will be easier with 2 able bodies I suppose. I believe the non high walls of these are manual lifts, correct? I think after setting this up and taking down in the rain one time would be enough for me. I would have to bring it home and set it up again just to dry it out. Makes me appreciate Rockwood's hard sides more. Just my opinion. Haven't actually used one of these before. Again, very helpful video. Good for people to understand how it works.
I need this!
Rockwood is the neste camper!!!
Really nice camper but I'm to old for putting this thing together would kill me
Love it. Love it 🎉. ❤.
Very thorough!
Nice camper but watching the set up makes me appreciate my Fleetwood /Coleman which is a lot easier to set up.
I picked mine up yesterday after going through a thorough walk through with the tech. It tows nicely but with a Honda Ridgeline you can tell it's back there. I got home and set it up and ran into three problems. The lift didn't go all the way up, though it did go high enough to get the corner set poles in. I'll suss that out later. I couldn't get the roof support pole on the king bed side to go in so I must have something wrong with the way the fabric is stretched on the outside, It was starting to rain so I left that for tomorrow to solve. Then the main door wouldn't seat properly. I got it in enough to get it to close and latch. but the top part is wrong. That's another project for today. I didn't bother yet to set up the head. All in all, it goes just like the video. Despite the less than perfect setup, it didn't leak a single drop of rain when the major afternoon thunderstorm hit. It was coming down sideways in buckets and I watched very carefully. It took me about 30 minutes for first time setup, and I could see cutting that in half after a couple of times. I may add a free floating lounge chair just for reclining and watching TV, for which there's plenty of room inside to store it just laid over on the floor. There's also a small sofa option that would go just in front of the king bed next to the head. The huge U shaped lounge will easily seat six. I bought extended outside rear view mirrors just in case I needed them, but I took them off after I hooked up to come home because the factory mirrors are plenty sufficient to see around the camper underway. I'm using this as a solo camper with an occasional tag along so the inside area is cavernous. Even if you hade four adults on board you'd still have plenty of room for everyone to be comfortable. I'll update on the three issues I mentioned.
Wellllllll, I've been on a three week road trip with a lot of overnight stays, and I have to say I'm tired of dealing with set up/take down. My earlier enthusiasm has been dampened by all the work required at the end of a long day of driving. Also, these are not good cold weather campers. I was in Mancos, CO with a low of 15 degrees and was able to keep the camper at 70, but I was sucking down a 20 pound propane tank every night and a half. It tows great, but I'll give that up for a little easier time of it. It's been a good learning experience, but I'll be looking to trade for a hard side once home. Don't get me wrong, everything works great on this camper, it's just the work involved in getting it ready. Also, I have a *lot* of repairs to make where the canvass has pulled out of it's track along with a handful of minor annoyances from all the shaking of the road. RPOD maybe?
One of my small dreams get one like this pop up 😇😇🤩🤩
Thats really cool
That is exactly my 2011 Coleman Niagara with a few improvements. Some nice upgrades with this camper but the design was Coleman
When you consider price and build quality...the Rockwood Pop up is in my opinion the best there is. I know the Somerset is somewhat better in build quality but you are looking at nearly double the price of a Rockwood pop up. My wife and I were torn by the Rockwood pop up or the Rockwood Roo. I think the Roo was a better choice....way less work to set up the Hybrid. Tip out beds on a hybrid take a minute to set up. This popup weighs 3400 lbs....the Roo is just under 4000 lbs....yup the Hybrid was a better choice. This pop up is loaded with features that our Roo has...so I tip my hat off to Rockwood for such a well engineered product but Hybrid is so much less work. The Roo has a power awning....that alone is a huge work saver. If I win the lottery I would buy this pop up in an eye blink. The one huge advantage a pop up has is going in the back 40....way more accessible to rough country. Well Mait...you did a heck of a job with set up and tear down....good job...TGO does great videos.
Can you speak to the build quality of a Jayco vs the Rockwood? As a tent camper I am looking to upgrade next Spring to something that will have room for our future kids. Teardrops have been too small and I rather do a little setup than tow a big trailer. We have been looking at the Jayco 10SD vs the similar floorpan of a Rockwood Freedom series.
I own one of these. Well, the Fleetwood colored version that is. It is NOT appropriate for going anywhere more rough than a smooth gravel road. The front steps are inches off the ground and the rear pooper pipes are likewise only inches from the ground. We just finished lifting ours 3 inches and I still worry about high angle driveway curbs.
This is nice!
If u lnow what ur doing u can set it up really fast. Plus it was done by one person. If he had extra set of hands it be faster.
Awesome for me ..... two thumbs up 👍 I👍
The water filter is above the electrical panel? How awesome!
nice camper, but to much work for a old man like me ;)
Hello Ed R, Thanks for the comment and for your honest opinion.
Lol lol I was surprised at what was involved in setting it up. Wow
@@volvocub2629 : Yeah. It's quite a bit. Maybe it was a little fussier because it's fresh from the manufacturer, and the fabric needs breaking-in. There are a lot of little things to do, but none of it looks all that difficult.
It's a pretty old design. One that's stood the test of time, because it's just a really, really good shelter concept, with the metal roof rising in the middle and 2 - or in this case 3 - slide-outs radiating from that main roof. They're pretty bulletproof, if you take care of them and either avoid leaving the pavement, much, or beef up the suspension. They're almost cartoonish, with those tiny wheels under them.
I like a lot of what the Aussies are doing, right now, but I haven't seen a rear- or dual-fold off-road tent trailer, where the rear portion was given over to galley. That'd solve the main issue I have with their designs. You shouldn't have to cobble together an awning and then awkwardly hang walls for a half-hour, before anybody wants to stand out there, cooking. Makes so much sense to have the galley in back, and integrated into the base shelter. You could still access the galley without unbuttoning the shelter, but you'd instantly have a roof over the cooking area, and enclose it or not, as conditions indicated, in seconds.
I have one. He's reallly good. Really.....
Nice camper. I'm from Aus and own a Jayco swan outback camper very similar to this one ($30k). Takes me about 10 mins to setup with out setting up the Awning. About 15-20 mins with the awning. I've seen people put up small tents in 10 to 20 mins. Would like to see these in Aus.
I like it.
Pop ups are so cute! 😍
Great detail ....but i am exhausted watching this lmao.....but I am sure once you do it a few times it's like clock work ,we use to tent and I would set up like it was a competition on how fast to get it done ...lol
Definitely not for weekend trips. It would take a day to set up and a day to take down. Maybe the sales guy comes with it. 🤔
Remember he was talking about everything as he was setting it up. He demonstrated every little thing, too. 28 minutes in he was done, even with the talking. I bet two people could have it done in 10 or 15 minutes. Seriously. You wouldn't be talking so much or playing with everything you didn't need to.
I have a tent trailer and even with 2 adults it can take an hour or two. He’s doing it with cut scenes and it’s factory empty 😔 kinda glad we upgraded now we could go for weekend trips with a full trailer and not takes hours setting up. No way can it take 15 minutes.
@@thewatcher611 : I agree.
@@Serenity7402000 : Rockwood is pretty easy setup, compared to a lot of tent trailers. They've cut down a lot of the fussy bits. I'd have no problem setting this up Friday night, and sleeping in it Friday and Saturday night. Even squeeze in Sunday night, depending on how far out I am and my Monday work schedule! Last year, I could stretch it to 11 a.m. on Monday mornings and squeeze it down to noon departure on Fridays. Didn't take near enough advantage!
I agree, that's a lot of work for one person. Would definitely set up and take down faster with two people.
Well, sure! But I always liked setting up camp the way I wanted it set up, and that was part of the fun. I can see reluctantly agreeing to some help, and then hovering over the helper. LOL! This trailer is way less work than how I've been setting-up camp all my adult life. I'm only looking at it, because I want to have more and work less! So it's kind of weird to me, when people talk about all the work involved. My brother-in-law is one of those people. He's also a lot better of a truck driver than I am!
Love the camper and functionality......but the set up and break down looks like it would get really old.....really fast.
On my buddies he made a felt covered piece of flat wood to invert the end canvas further in. Made packing a lot easier getting the top down. Picture a small pizza oven paddle felted over the end so it doesn't catch. Question on the awnings. Why haven't any manufacturers moved up to electric ones? Will the top not support it?
great video.... for me too much work. at 68 ill take a hotel room . but for young ones looks really cool.
