Awww thanks that's nice to hear. We are glad you like them. Yay! we like the Rockwoods too and we hear you on the permanent bed thing. For us the next best thing would be the murphy bed that we can keep bedding on. Thanks for hanging out with us and sharing your thoughts.
I have never cared for Murphy beds, but I think I could live with this one. Especially since the bedding can stay, and the other functions of the trailer work while the bed is down.
For us personally a Murphy bed would not work unless the bedding stays on, Then we love them. They become so versatile and no more work to make up. So we hear your point. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts.
I love her. She answered all the questions I was asking in my head. Very detailed and showed everything one would need to know making a decision to buy. Thank you!
Oh this is so wonderful to hear! That is always our goal. We are so glad we could help you out. Sooo what's it gonna be? Have you decided? We would love to hear about it. Thanks for watching.
The dinette table is a finger amputation device and boat anchor notice she was putting off showing how to use it….I made my own light weight replacement, also the seating area has 1/4 inch plywood under panel which bow when sitting on them, replaced with 1/2 inch plywood panels.
Nice review. Well done. I like the Murphy bed. Overall, looks like a lot of storage, the flex of a couch/bed, and a dinette that folds in a bed for our 9 year old son.
I was so excited to see your videos come out today on the Rockwood Mini Lite! Thank you so much! It was great to get more details on the construction in your construction video, plus it was great to see the full tour of the 2104s in this video. Your videos are definitely convincing me even more that Rockwood Mini Lites would be a great choice. There are a few things I wish they had, like Azdel and galvanized steel wheel wells, but I guess you can’t have everything. Really appreciate all your work and attention to detail. You guys are great!
Wonderful. We were hoping you would like it. The Rockwood is nice. We can't wait to hear what you decide on and there for sure isn't one that checks every box but you can get pretty close. Thanks for continuing to watch and enjoying our work.
Unfortunately, now we’re going to need a tow vehicle as well, so it might take us a little longer to be able to get both. Our full-size van was going to be our tow vehicle, but it has transmission problems now. And since it’s an older van, we don’t want to sink money into it. So, in the meantime, we’ll keep saving up (and playing the lottery!)😁
Great and very knowledgeable and detailed camper review. This is one of my favorite campers. Pay no attention to the mean, grumpy people. Thank you for your great attitude.
I do not understand why some people feel that they need to be so negative. Constructive criticism is one thing, but negativity is quite another. Like Facebook, just scroll on by, buddy...
Very informative review thanks! The wife and I are looking for a weekend/vacation camper and something like this would be great for the 2 of us and then to have room for the grandkids to stay for a night or two.
Glad you liked it. This would be a great choice for those weekends and vacations and it would be nice to have the kids along sometimes too and they could fit in here. It sounds like fun. Let us know what you decide. Thanks for watching.
We gotta thing for Murphy Beds but only if the bedding can be left on. They just make small spaces so versatile. Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.
Glad you like them, and we would love to do more of the r-pods, we like them a lot. The 201 and the 202 look really great. We hope to be back to filming again soon and we will be on the hunt for them. Thanks for watching
Nice price! I was expecting in the fortys.I know trailers devalue 37% the first 3 years.So it depends on your wants and needs.I have been living full time × 4 yrs in my 2015, Coleman trailor.17 ft length.One sink toilet and tiny shower and frig.No oven, 2 burner stove.So, after living in my tiny Coleman and watching this video, the Rockwood mini light is a big, big upgrade! Worth the money.I have slept on the bottom bunk and used the top bunk for clothes storage in plastic bins.In below freezing weather and snow.The Coleman held up! But this Rockwood mini lite would be well worth the money, for sure!Thumbs up!! I payed $ 15000.00 for my Coleman trailor Brand new.
Glad you liked it. It's all about perspective right? Cool that you have been able to make it work for you in such a small space. We love the Murphy bed in this one but I get why the bunks are working for you as extra storage. Hope you are having fun. Thanks for watching.
I'd love to see this exact design with a twin to king bed option instead of the Murphy bed. Next, move the recliner to the dinette and perfect (for my wife & I anyway).
We hear what you are saying and as we always say 'there's an RV out there for everyone' so check out this one th-cam.com/video/JpxZaPYHBkc/w-d-xo.html we think it might suit you better. Thanks for watching.
Rockwood makes a mini-lite twin bed that has an insert that turns the twin beds into a massive king...it is brand new for this year. pretty much exactly like this one but with the twin beds...it's a 2204s
Thank you for your reviews of various RV's. My husband and I are researching before purchasing, and I find all of the information I am looking for from your reviews. I am also a 5 ft. tall blonde, so this could be me in your videos! My two favorites so far are this one and the Forest River Wildwood 171 RBXL. We will be pulling with his Ford F150 4WD and want to keep it light. Thorough, friendly, 'real' and honest...what's not to like?
Thank you so much for your kind words. We are so glad our reviews are helping you make your decision. We'd love to know what you decide on so please keep us up to date. Thanks for watching.
We want to stay light yet maximize as much space as possible, which is why we like the Murphy bed. I love the extra counter space and storage in the Wildwood 171 RBXL bathroom, and the kitchen counter space in both.
Thanks for the nice review. I'm not a tall man and items such as the microwave is at an insane height, in my opinion. Even the freezer is pretty high. I'm wanting to upgrade and my current RV has the seam on the countertop edge that I also hate. They always eventually start to lift.
We hear you on these points. It seems most manufacturers are trying to move away from counter seams so we are confident you will find something with regards to that but those darn high up freezers and microwaves are a challenge. The thing is that RVs generally have pretty small kitchens so we like to see the reachable spaces be for the things we use most often. For us that is storage cabinets and we just use a stool for the fridge and microwave. Not ideal but nothing is and we just find a way to make it work for us. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
$24,888 for a new. I just bought a 4 year old one, minus the murphy bed, normal bed. $10,000 and full gas tanks, a wdh, and all the connections for water and power. Oh and new tires as well.
There is always depreciation to think of when buying a new RV and if you check out the resource we share in the video description you will get an idea of what a used rv may look like for resale rvreviews.net/?ref=7&campaign=DoesSizeMatterRVReviews When you include full gas tanks do you mean propane? and we are not sure what you are referring to as wdh? or the connections for water and power as all RVs have this? New tires is a great perk though. Thanks for watching.
@@thumpersquid yes no question about depreciation but for this particular comment there was much more going on then just depreciation. But there are certainly good deals to be had out there on used rigs. We have been working on one ourselves this week, we'll see how it goes. Stay tuned.
@@cliftt Just remember that a price given without lots of context really doesn't mean much, especially on a used rig. 2 used RVs that are from the same manufacturer, same year, same model may have very different prices for so many other reasons. The price alone just doesn't mean much in our opinion.
My bottom Murphy bed supports broke loose from the floor, they were poorly attached and shifting during driver broke the cheap particulate board supports. This is on my 2019 unit. I also have a dometic fridge that has never worked correctly and by the time the warranty expired so did the fridge. One side panel on the outside of the unit has delaminated and separated in places, again no help from rockwood. The rear ladder which is made for children came loose with several screws falling out and in disgust I removed the ladder. Rockwood has great hype, but very very poor customer support
This is basically the replacement for the 2304KS but with a bigger slide and a bigger dinette. I bought a 2019 last month. I do like this one a little better, especially the drawers and the shaker style cabinets but mine was a new 2019 with a $32K MSRP that was discounted to $16,999. Could not pass that up.
Wow, what a deal. I can understand why you made the choice. I hope you are loving it though. It is a really cool trailer. Have fun with it. Thanks for watching.
Super review; especially, considering you're "NORMAL" consumers. One thought: IMO access to the fridge (in travel mode) may not be that big of a deal; we'd use a small ice chest (for snack/lunch, etc) -- STILL have access to the IMPORTANT component (THE BATHROOM!!!). Love how y'all approach the review from "normals" and NOT ""sales-folks." Tubs/totes to hold those accessories for pass-through and under dinette storage makes a LOT of sense to me. Overall, a GREAT plan for a smaller unit. Thanks for sharing! Y'all Be Safe!
Glad you liked it and you have some good ideas. Thanks for sharing them. We really liked this trailer too and being a 'NORMAL' consumer is really important to us, so thanks for noticing. We do not do these reviews to sell the RV we do them to share info (our research from our perspective), that's what makes them truly Unbiased and we love hearing from others with their own ideas and owners who have real life experience with the product. Although next week we are doing our first ever Virtual RV Show where we will check out (not review) a bunch of RVs that dealerships have sent to us (virtually) and share them with you. We are super excited about it hope you like it too. Thanks for watching.
Very helpful walk-through. Unfortunately it’s too heavy for my SUV. In the future, I hope you will mention the length and weight at the beginning, so I can look through your other videos for something I can tow.
Glad you liked it. You can always scroll through to the numbers section and get right to it and very soon you will find time stamps in the video description for all of the sections in the video so you will be able to click on 'the numbers' and get the information you need. Hope that helps, Thanks for watching.
Does Size Matter - No time stamps in the description of this video. It’s your channel. Organize it as you see fit. Just giving you my feedback as a viewer.
As we mentioned the times stamps are coming soon and the title clips are present in every video so that you can quickly and easily find the info you are most interested in. We appreciate your feedback and will indeed organize it in the way we feel is best for our viewers and us as creators. Thanks
a nice trailer but...those contertops along either side of the queen bed make access to the bed inconvenient, especially if your an older person having to climb out the end of the bed,
We hear your point and it did make it difficult to access the closet too. Maybe something that folds down or just stick with the ones that are in the sofa itself and are removable. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and watching.
When you put in the slide, you CAN NOT use the bathroom or kitchen or refrigerator. The slide comes right up against the sink. You're guessing. I have the 2020 Flagstaff Micro Lite 21DS which is exactly the same as this one. So I know for sure.
Thanks for the information. We always welcome details from an owner's perspective. It is a bummer though. As we mentioned in the video we were not sure how close the slide would come in. In order to manage the challenge we would suggest viewers remove the table so that you could step over the seat to access the kitchen, bathroom and to make up the dinette into a bed still making the trailer workable for those quick stops. Hope that helps. Thanks for sharing and watching.
We are not the truck specialists and refrain from making any other recommendation than make sure your tow vehicle can more than handle the weight. We do not agree with being at or too close to your trucks limit. It can be dangerous and is really hard on the truck. Thanks for watching.
Thank God I love Rockwood RV s because this video would have truly sent me looking elsewhere! You are pointing out all the thing that are not quite right for you but this RV is an amazing choice when compared to others, and I've done my homework!
You may have missed the point of this review. We loved the Rockwood a lot! We always tell folks that we are reviewing from our perspective which may be different than others and there is a right RV out there for everyone. Everyone has different priorities and that's ok. Watch the video again and you will see it. We get why you would love the Rockwood too. Thanks for watching.
It is a great trailer and you may be able to install electric stabilizer jacks but they are not auto levelers :( I get being spoiled with that so am I. Thanks for watching.
Great overview. Thanks. This COULD be a great travel trailer. Pluses: Impressive cargo carrying capacity. Nice interior layout. Very deep slide out. Love the big wraparound dinette! Negatives: Could they have installed more dull, dark and dreary cabinetry? Cheesh. How much more would it have cost to use lighter, brighter, glossy/shiny cabinetry? I agree with the concerns expressed by someone else regarding putting the electrical controls UNDER THE SINK Not wise! Also, VERY dismaying that Rockwood went with bargain-basement Chinese Castle Rock tires. Based on online posts I’ve read about that make of tire I would NOT risk using them on a trailer or any other vehicle.
Glad you liked it. We think this is a nice trailer too. As we said, the electrical near the sink is done in many rvs but is something we will look at more closely. Tires are an easy fix. If you are willing to pay more you can have them put on before you pick it up. Quality in an RV is always something a buyer will pay more for. Thanks for watching.
The castle rocks on my 25bds have been to n ga. From n. Fl. Twice, then to n.c. coast from n.ga. one time and then to n.c. and back again. Not to mention the many local trips we've made, still going strong. If you follow the air pressures on the side of the tire and don't overload, then run at 65mph and under as you should. They last pretty well in my opinion. I am looking at maxxis 808 in the near future, jumping up to a D1 load range.
its a beautifull trailer . love the murphey bed and the recliners but let me tell you there are so many things that they did in that trailer that are not made correctly. that screen is one example that microwave is totally un useable and I am not sure I could even reach that freezer! who in the heck is designing these things?
We really liked this one too but we hear you. Sometimes Size Does Matter like with the microwave. We thought the freezer was ok and the screen is a pain but the issue is not specific to Rockwood many manufacturers are doing this so maybe if we complain enough they will start using the pull down piece in the screen door instead. We think RVs are tough to design. They are such small spaces and manufacturers are trying to cram in as many amenities as possible and the tall people don't have problems with the microwave but hate the shower. They just can't please us all, all of the time. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and watching.
Glad you found the info you were looking for. Shhh, it's a secret but we have another Rockwood coming out tomorrow. Check it out and let us know what you think. Another name they are manufactured under is Flagstaff, maybe that is more familiar to you. Thanks for watching.
Welcome to the wonderful world of RVing. Loans can go for 5, 10 even 15 years and in some cases even more. BUT... even though financing on RVs can go over many years we strongly caution against doing this if at all possible. The thing is an RV is not an asset like a sticks and bricks home or a piece of property and is unlikely to go up in value. Therefore they often have higher interest rates and they will for sure depreciate, more like a car then a home. So that being said if you finance your RV over too long a period of time with use and depreciation you could end up making payments on a loan that is higher then the value of the RV itself. Keep your financing to as short a term as possible. Hopefully that helps you out some. Thanks for watching
@@honeysweetness9813 This is generally true for all RVs. The lower the value of the RV the lessor amount of time will be available for a financing term. BUT again the depreciation and the fact that it is not a value gaining asset will remain the same.
Actually it is very common to find electrical boxes near sinks but I hear what you are saying. I will have to take a look and see how close these are to the water lines next time we are in one. Thanks for watching
Good question. We did not see one. There are products out there that hold the corners of the sheets down or you could just buy a strap because we see your point and would want one too. Good idea. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts
Here are a few others we have reviewed with stationary beds and bunks. 2 are Winnebagos and 1 is a Rockwood Geo Pro. th-cam.com/video/900V1OKjrg8/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/OEbC7bL9eyw/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/lQRDCZAYm6Q/w-d-xo.html Check those out and let us know if we can help in any other way.

Hello,I am from Panama and I am thinking of buying a trailer to live and travel throughout my coutry,I see that there are many on that site who are exposing the Rockwood Mini 2104S trailer, where you recommend me to go buy me one, thank you.
So nice to have you along. The Rockwood Mini Lite is a great trailer and your plans sound very fun. Since we do not work with the manufacturer or any dealerships we don't know what or where dealerships in Panama would be, sorry. You could try looking up the Rockwood website and they would have contact info for dealerships near to you or you can click on the link in description of this video and it will get you in contact with the dealership that had this one and they may be able to direct you to one closer to you. Let us know how your purchase and adventures go. Thanks for watching.
Good question but we don't believe they do, sorry. We have reviewed other models that are more narrow in the Winnebago line up. Check those out. Thanks for watching.
Hey there we do not specialize in tow vehicles and their capacities so we can't answer that for you. Your vehicle will have a sticker on it, probably around the door somewhere that will tell you what it's tow rating is and then you can compare that to the GVW we have told you about here. Another resource you can try is a channel called BTBRV (big truck big rv) he really is an expert in tow capacity and can explain how to determine if your truck is going to work for this trailer. Good on you for making sure you get a trailer your truck can handle, it really is the most important thing. Thanks for watching.
Glad you liked it. We made the shirts for the RV Show as an experiment so we don't have anymore but if there is enough interest we will place an order to share with you all. It would be kind of fun. Thanks for watching.
You are entitled to your opinion but we thought the window in the bed area was excellent. There is no reason to expect any more moisture to come from a window at the head of the bed then any other window and the curve at the front of this trailer will not impede sitting up to read. Hope that helps you out. Thanks for watching
This is not an area that we have a lot of experience in but like any assumable loan it would depend on the lender that holds the current loan and if they allow their loans to be assumed. If they did then you would likely still have to qualify to take the loan over. So we suggest the place to start would be for the current owner to ask their financing company to see what the requirements would be. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
Yes, it is small and lighter weight so it could work for you if you are just getting started. Lots of details to consider though. Let us know if we can help you out more. Thanks for watching
Not sure what facts you are basing your opinion on but if you have anything please send it to doessizematter99@gmail.com and we will review it to determine it's validity. We always want the most info we can find. Just so you are aware the upper cabinets are made of exactly the same materials as the lower ones so not sure why you think the uppers are better. We look forward to reviewing your facts. Thanks for watching.
Well we weren't trying to sell it to you but if you don't like this one we do have a whole bunch more that you might like better. We just love learning, seeing and sharing them all, then you get to pick which one is the right one for you. Thanks for watching.
Really ugly... you'll see the blanket off the bed coming out from the top of your head...and what about the pillow and the blanket itself when you'll set it back ? You'll have to fix them every single time you open it again..
Oh too bad you don't like it. It is possible that some of the bedding may show a bit but for us we'd rather have it left on and be seen then have to make it up each night. Pillows are a good point, you would probably have to move them to a closet or something like that but again if the bed is made up and all we have to do is throw on a couple of pillows we would be happy with it. Sounds like you need a model with a made up bed. Check out our many other reviews to find just the right one for you. Thanks for watching.
poor lady! how can you do a review on what appears to be something she is totally not familiar with! stupid placement regarding those closets by the bed. whole trailer looks like a joke!
Don't worry about me, I love doing these reviews. We do extensive research on all of them and if there is something you need clarification on as it appears you just don't understand them very well, feel free to ask nicely. Closets by the bed can be challenging but in small spaces it's tough to get as much storage as possible. If this one isn't for you that's ok you should watch all of our reviews, there are hundreds to learn about so get some popcorn and sit down for awhile. We are sure you will find something that suits you. Enjoy yourself.
We purchased this little trailer earlier in 2020. After having a larger 5th wheel, this was easy to haul. We love it.
Fantastic, that's great to hear. We really like it too. Have you had any stays where you needed to keep the slide in? If so how did that go?
You both do the best walk-throughs! I recently bought a 2109 Rockwood because I wanted a permanent bed.
Awww thanks that's nice to hear. We are glad you like them. Yay! we like the Rockwoods too and we hear you on the permanent bed thing. For us the next best thing would be the murphy bed that we can keep bedding on. Thanks for hanging out with us and sharing your thoughts.

Or ...you can buy a Jayco 30 foot one for 22k.
Love to hear prices from owners. Thanks.
@@cliftt Just remember that a price given without lots of context really doesn't mean much, especially on a used rig. 2 used RVs that are from the same manufacturer, same year, same model may have very different prices for so many other reasons. The price alone just doesn't mean much in our opinion.
My bottom Murphy bed supports broke loose from the floor, they were poorly attached and shifting during driver broke the cheap particulate board supports. This is on my 2019 unit. I also have a dometic fridge that has never worked correctly and by the time the warranty expired so did the fridge. One side panel on the outside of the unit has delaminated and separated in places, again no help from rockwood. The rear ladder which is made for children came loose with several screws falling out and in disgust I removed the ladder. Rockwood has great hype, but very very poor customer support
You such a great job. Thanks!
Glad you like it. Thanks for watching.
This is basically the replacement for the 2304KS but with a bigger slide and a bigger dinette. I bought a 2019 last month. I do like this one a little better, especially the drawers and the shaker style cabinets but mine was a new 2019 with a $32K MSRP that was discounted to $16,999. Could not pass that up.
Wow, what a deal. I can understand why you made the choice. I hope you are loving it though. It is a really cool trailer. Have fun with it. Thanks for watching.
Very nice RV
It is indeed. Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.
Super review; especially, considering you're "NORMAL" consumers. One thought: IMO access to the fridge (in travel mode) may not be that big of a deal; we'd use a small ice chest (for snack/lunch, etc) -- STILL have access to the IMPORTANT component (THE BATHROOM!!!). Love how y'all approach the review from "normals" and NOT ""sales-folks." Tubs/totes to hold those accessories for pass-through and under dinette storage makes a LOT of sense to me. Overall, a GREAT plan for a smaller unit. Thanks for sharing!
Y'all Be Safe!
Glad you liked it and you have some good ideas. Thanks for sharing them. We really liked this trailer too and being a 'NORMAL' consumer is really important to us, so thanks for noticing. We do not do these reviews to sell the RV we do them to share info (our research from our perspective), that's what makes them truly Unbiased and we love hearing from others with their own ideas and owners who have real life experience with the product. Although next week we are doing our first ever Virtual RV Show where we will check out (not review) a bunch of RVs that dealerships have sent to us (virtually) and share them with you. We are super excited about it hope you like it too. Thanks for watching.
You give the best rewies love your channel
Glad you like it and thanks for the kind words and for watching.
Very helpful walk-through. Unfortunately it’s too heavy for my SUV. In the future, I hope you will mention the length and weight at the beginning, so I can look through your other videos for something I can tow.
Glad you liked it. You can always scroll through to the numbers section and get right to it and very soon you will find time stamps in the video description for all of the sections in the video so you will be able to click on 'the numbers' and get the information you need. Hope that helps, Thanks for watching.
Does Size Matter - No time stamps in the description of this video. It’s your channel. Organize it as you see fit. Just giving you my feedback as a viewer.
As we mentioned the times stamps are coming soon and the title clips are present in every video so that you can quickly and easily find the info you are most interested in. We appreciate your feedback and will indeed organize it in the way we feel is best for our viewers and us as creators. Thanks
Thanks for sharing this review. What.....wait......Your not a body builder? I can't believe that. 😂
😂😂 So... you don't think it shows then??? Haha Glad you liked it. Thanks for spending your time watching.
The hostess presenter is very appealing.
GILF
Awesome review, thank u , it's a nice camper
Glad you liked it. We thought is was pretty good too. Thanks for watching.
Love this!
Great, thanks for watching
LOVE that frig; esp that freezer compartment! FINE UNIT!! PLUS...the bathroom; what's not to love??! ALL this in a smaller.unit!! 👍😃👣
Glad you liked it. We thought this one had a lot of impressive points too. Thanks for watching.
Don’t like the slide in you can’t get into everything ! Like the bed size! Thanks but would like that you could move around with slide in. Thanks
Accessibility with the slides in is important to us too. It all depends on how folks plan to use it. Thanks for watching.
a nice trailer but...those contertops along either side of the queen bed make access to the bed inconvenient, especially if your an older person having to climb out the end of the bed,
We hear your point and it did make it difficult to access the closet too. Maybe something that folds down or just stick with the ones that are in the sofa itself and are removable. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and watching.
When you put in the slide, you CAN NOT use the bathroom or kitchen or refrigerator. The slide comes right up against the sink. You're guessing. I have the 2020 Flagstaff Micro Lite 21DS which is exactly the same as this one. So I know for sure.
Thanks for the information. We always welcome details from an owner's perspective. It is a bummer though. As we mentioned in the video we were not sure how close the slide would come in. In order to manage the challenge we would suggest viewers remove the table so that you could step over the seat to access the kitchen, bathroom and to make up the dinette into a bed still making the trailer workable for those quick stops. Hope that helps. Thanks for sharing and watching.
For towing, this weight does cross the threshold of requiring a 1/2 ton pickup of full size SUV...
We are not the truck specialists and refrain from making any other recommendation than make sure your tow vehicle can more than handle the weight. We do not agree with being at or too close to your trucks limit. It can be dangerous and is really hard on the truck. Thanks for watching.
Thank God I love Rockwood RV s because this video would have truly sent me looking elsewhere! You are pointing out all the thing that are not quite right for you but this RV is an amazing choice when compared to others, and I've done my homework!
You may have missed the point of this review. We loved the Rockwood a lot! We always tell folks that we are reviewing from our perspective which may be different than others and there is a right RV out there for everyone. Everyone has different priorities and that's ok. Watch the video again and you will see it. We get why you would love the Rockwood too. Thanks for watching.
You could also leave the table bed down as a bed and have the Couchs down,,, for a person alone, no problem
Ya there are lots of options of how a person may want to leave things. Whatever works right? Thanks for watching.
How long is the bed in inches? This question is for the tall people.
Great question and we share those details in the numbers section of the video so check for them there. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
If it had auto leveler's it would be the perfect trailer, as were kind of spoiled in that department.
It is a great trailer and you may be able to install electric stabilizer jacks but they are not auto levelers :( I get being spoiled with that so am I. Thanks for watching.
Great overview. Thanks.
This COULD be a great travel trailer.
Pluses: Impressive cargo carrying capacity. Nice interior layout. Very deep slide out. Love the big wraparound dinette!
Negatives: Could they have installed more dull, dark and dreary cabinetry? Cheesh. How much more would it have cost to use lighter, brighter, glossy/shiny cabinetry? I agree with the concerns expressed by someone else regarding putting the electrical controls UNDER THE SINK Not wise! Also, VERY dismaying that Rockwood went with bargain-basement Chinese Castle Rock tires. Based on online posts I’ve read about that make of tire I would NOT risk using them on a trailer or any other vehicle.
Glad you liked it. We think this is a nice trailer too. As we said, the electrical near the sink is done in many rvs but is something we will look at more closely. Tires are an easy fix. If you are willing to pay more you can have them put on before you pick it up. Quality in an RV is always something a buyer will pay more for. Thanks for watching.
The castle rocks on my 25bds have been to n ga. From n. Fl. Twice, then to n.c. coast from n.ga. one time and then to n.c. and back again. Not to mention the many local trips we've made, still going strong. If you follow the air pressures on the side of the tire and don't overload, then run at 65mph and under as you should. They last pretty well in my opinion.
I am looking at maxxis 808 in the near future, jumping up to a D1 load range.
its a beautifull trailer . love the murphey bed and the recliners but let me tell you there are so many things that they did in that trailer that are not made correctly. that screen is one example that microwave is totally un useable and I am not sure I could even reach that freezer! who in the heck is designing these things?
We really liked this one too but we hear you. Sometimes Size Does Matter like with the microwave. We thought the freezer was ok and the screen is a pain but the issue is not specific to Rockwood many manufacturers are doing this so maybe if we complain enough they will start using the pull down piece in the screen door instead. We think RVs are tough to design. They are such small spaces and manufacturers are trying to cram in as many amenities as possible and the tall people don't have problems with the microwave but hate the shower. They just can't please us all, all of the time. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and watching.
I'm not familiar with the Rockwood brand, I live in Las vegas and don't see many. Do you know the price range they run?
OOPS spoke to soon, $24,888.
Glad you found the info you were looking for. Shhh, it's a secret but we have another Rockwood coming out tomorrow. Check it out and let us know what you think. Another name they are manufactured under is Flagstaff, maybe that is more familiar to you. Thanks for watching.
Hello everyone, I have never purchased any type of trailer , I am very curious on average , how many years do they offer to pay to finance ?
Welcome to the wonderful world of RVing. Loans can go for 5, 10 even 15 years and in some cases even more. BUT... even though financing on RVs can go over many years we strongly caution against doing this if at all possible. The thing is an RV is not an asset like a sticks and bricks home or a piece of property and is unlikely to go up in value. Therefore they often have higher interest rates and they will for sure depreciate, more like a car then a home. So that being said if you finance your RV over too long a period of time with use and depreciation you could end up making payments on a loan that is higher then the value of the RV itself. Keep your financing to as short a term as possible. Hopefully that helps you out some. Thanks for watching
@@DoesSizeMatter is that also true with motor homes?
@@honeysweetness9813 This is generally true for all RVs. The lower the value of the RV the lessor amount of time will be available for a financing term. BUT again the depreciation and the fact that it is not a value gaining asset will remain the same.
Amy and I are going to the RVE Summit in March. Are you two going also?
Yes we are, that is so great you guys are going to be there again. We can't wait to see you. I think we arrive on Monday, how about you?
@@DoesSizeMatter I think we are getting there Monday too. We are staying for a week.
@@911Airsoft Awesome us too. Looking forward to it. Say hi to Amy for us.
Great review. 18:20 Electrical controls underneath the sink seems like a horrible design choice to me; drip, drip...
sniff sniff sniff........whats burning?????
Actually it is very common to find electrical boxes near sinks but I hear what you are saying. I will have to take a look and see how close these are to the water lines next time we are in one. Thanks for watching
What's the price on that RV I'm am interested.
You will find the price in the Numbers section. You will find it near the end of the video Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
Is there a stripe on the bed to keep duvet and sheets not falling down when folding the Murphy bed up?
Good question. We did not see one. There are products out there that hold the corners of the sheets down or you could just buy a strap because we see your point and would want one too. Good idea. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts
@@DoesSizeMatter Thanks for your reply. Do you have any 2020 Rockwood 2104S available to sell? Or 2021 2104S is better
@@junyaxie3261 We do not sell RVs and have no relationships with dealerships and manufacturers so we can't help you with that, sorry
DO YOU HAVE A SIMILAR MODEL WITH STATIONARY BED AND BUNK BEDS? Or just staionary bed
Here are a few others we have reviewed with stationary beds and bunks. 2 are Winnebagos and 1 is a Rockwood Geo Pro. th-cam.com/video/900V1OKjrg8/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/OEbC7bL9eyw/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/lQRDCZAYm6Q/w-d-xo.html Check those out and let us know if we can help in any other way.

Too heavy for my standard Toyota Tundra, Max tow rating for 6500 pounds ?
I saw it at the end ....disregard
Hello,I am from Panama and I am thinking of buying a trailer to live and travel throughout my coutry,I see that there are many on that site who are exposing the Rockwood Mini 2104S trailer, where you recommend me to go buy me one, thank you.
So nice to have you along. The Rockwood Mini Lite is a great trailer and your plans sound very fun. Since we do not work with the manufacturer or any dealerships we don't know what or where dealerships in Panama would be, sorry. You could try looking up the Rockwood website and they would have contact info for dealerships near to you or you can click on the link in description of this video and it will get you in contact with the dealership that had this one and they may be able to direct you to one closer to you. Let us know how your purchase and adventures go. Thanks for watching.
Do they make one similar to this layout but only 7 feet wide?
Good question but we don't believe they do, sorry. We have reviewed other models that are more narrow in the Winnebago line up. Check those out. Thanks for watching.
How will my 2004 f150 5.4 triton handle this trailer?
Hey there we do not specialize in tow vehicles and their capacities so we can't answer that for you. Your vehicle will have a sticker on it, probably around the door somewhere that will tell you what it's tow rating is and then you can compare that to the GVW we have told you about here. Another resource you can try is a channel called BTBRV (big truck big rv) he really is an expert in tow capacity and can explain how to determine if your truck is going to work for this trailer. Good on you for making sure you get a trailer your truck can handle, it really is the most important thing. Thanks for watching.
Great review as always, looks like a decent trailer. Like the shirt , are they for sale?
Glad you liked it. We made the shirts for the RV Show as an experiment so we don't have anymore but if there is enough interest we will place an order to share with you all. It would be kind of fun. Thanks for watching.
Can you tell me how tall you are for reference ? Thank you
I am 5' tall. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching
👍🏼
Window in bed area is useless . A window at the head of the bed causes moisture and no way to sit up and read
You are entitled to your opinion but we thought the window in the bed area was excellent. There is no reason to expect any more moisture to come from a window at the head of the bed then any other window and the curve at the front of this trailer will not impede sitting up to read. Hope that helps you out. Thanks for watching
Wheres the best place to get an assumable loan for a travel trailer.
This is not an area that we have a lot of experience in but like any assumable loan it would depend on the lender that holds the current loan and if they allow their loans to be assumed. If they did then you would likely still have to qualify to take the loan over. So we suggest the place to start would be for the current owner to ask their financing company to see what the requirements would be. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
Is she average height, because this trailer seems massive when she sits on the couch.
I am 5' tall and I wouldn't cal the couch massive but it was nice sized and comfy. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
Thanks, makes a bit more sense now.
entry level ???
Yes, it is small and lighter weight so it could work for you if you are just getting started. Lots of details to consider though. Let us know if we can help you out more. Thanks for watching
Everything is substandard materials except the top part of the kitchen.
Not sure what facts you are basing your opinion on but if you have anything please send it to doessizematter99@gmail.com and we will review it to determine it's validity. We always want the most info we can find. Just so you are aware the upper cabinets are made of exactly the same materials as the lower ones so not sure why you think the uppers are better. We look forward to reviewing your facts. Thanks for watching.
You didn’t sell me
Well we weren't trying to sell it to you but if you don't like this one we do have a whole bunch more that you might like better. We just love learning, seeing and sharing them all, then you get to pick which one is the right one for you. Thanks for watching.
Really ugly... you'll see the blanket off the bed coming out from the top of your head...and what about the pillow and the blanket itself when you'll set it back ? You'll have to fix them every single time you open it again..
Oh too bad you don't like it. It is possible that some of the bedding may show a bit but for us we'd rather have it left on and be seen then have to make it up each night. Pillows are a good point, you would probably have to move them to a closet or something like that but again if the bed is made up and all we have to do is throw on a couple of pillows we would be happy with it. Sounds like you need a model with a made up bed. Check out our many other reviews to find just the right one for you. Thanks for watching.
poor lady! how can you do a review on what appears to be something she is totally not familiar with! stupid placement regarding those closets by the bed. whole trailer looks like a joke!
Don't worry about me, I love doing these reviews. We do extensive research on all of them and if there is something you need clarification on as it appears you just don't understand them very well, feel free to ask nicely. Closets by the bed can be challenging but in small spaces it's tough to get as much storage as possible. If this one isn't for you that's ok you should watch all of our reviews, there are hundreds to learn about so get some popcorn and sit down for awhile. We are sure you will find something that suits you. Enjoy yourself.
In my opinion, she doesn’t know much about any of this stuff
I guess our channel just isn't the place for you then. Thanks for stopping by, hope you find what you are looking for elsewhere.
A better title would be "Clueless RV Review."
