- Join me for the first time we set up our pop-up camper: Forest River Rockwood HW276. Rockwood High Wall Series
This is the same as the Flagstaff HW27SC. After a few camping trips, it now takes us only about 20 minutes to set up!
I seriously don't know why people are commenting that this took too long. The video was only 43 minutes long, it was the first time he was putting it together and he was talking which slows things down. Putting a tent up and and everything that goes in it is a time consuming job and it is still just a tent. I think this is a sweet camper with all of the comforts of home. Great job!

I agree I would love to have that camper and what’s a few minutes of your time to set it up when it’s going to be relaxing and comfortable for your stay❤
Major props to the videographer. It was obvious that it's not easy following someone around with a camera whose putting up this high wall. The heavy breathing says a lot about the effort it takes. So well done, person with the camera! Thanks for hanging in there and capturing all that video. You deserve a star!!
Yea she was a trooper!
Oh my goodness! I can here her, an I know that feeling an still love being outside gardening. I always carry allergy meds with me. What a trooper hanging in an filming. I’m impressed for her!
💜🌸🌴Thank you for you BOTH for taking time to show us all how to set up the Pop up. Enjoy your camping 🏕
We had a large pop-up for about 12 years. The first night of each trip I would turn on all the lights on inside walk around the outside of the trailer to close up anywhere light would come out of the points where the tent sealed to the trailer. We found that if you are using a fantastic fan the vacuum was enough to suck in any tiny flies that would be attracted to the light. When we did not, we would quickly realize how many bugs could get in within a very short time. Good luck and I hope you have as many years of fun as we had with ours.
So, not for overnight. Wow, that's a lot of setup so I can see an appreciation for setup and take down enjoyment needed.
A summary of the most common comments:
1. The camera person is dying.
She was suffering from allergies, she's a trooper, not a hostage. It wasn't that distracting. Get over it.
2. Way too long to set up/ changed my mind about buying one.
This was his first time setting it up, and he was explaining/showing things as he went. Actual setup time would have been half if he wasn't focused on making the video. It will get faster each time, and faster yet with his fiancee helping instead of filming.
3. Way too much work, glad we have a snobmobile instead of this.
Pop ups work for some people, and the few extra chores are worth it for various reasons. Less storage space, more economical, easier to tow. There are pros and cons to everything. Why are you even watching this video if you already have a class whatever camper, and no interest in a pop-up?
Thank you for posting this video. I thought it was excellent, you did a fantastic job, and I really appreciate you taking the time from your camping trip to make content that this viewer found quite helpful, and entertaining.
As others have said, thank you for your service, and happy camping!
I was going to leave a comment but after reading yours i don't see the reason to-do so now. I think you basically expressed my thoughts, so, thank you Sir Chad.
So true on all accounts, and very well put!!
Good job. Love the workmanship and this for a whole family is great. Just g ou t to find where to park it when n ok t in use. But love it and planning on having one too. Thank you
Your fiancée was in need of meds that actually work. Feel sorry for her not being able to breathe. And through all she did a good job as a camera woman- and is well mannered. You did a good job at explaining everything as you put all together. Thanks for the good job. Thank you for your military service.
👏👏👏
Lord have mercy! I don't think you could give me one of those!! I'm exhausted just watching him set it up! Now I need a nap....
This guy could be a camper salesman. He's thorough about showing the camper features
Nice camper. One can only imagine the setup process when it's raining. Or maybe worse yet, taking it down in the rain.
It’s all part of the pop up experience.
Bless you... You are a trooper... I suffer from allergies and know how you feel
Nice pop up! We tent camped for almost 20 years and went to a 10' pop up when the kids were grown. No bathroom, no indoor kitchen. Basically it was a tent on wheels. We had the pop up for 5 years and went to a 30' travel trailer and oh my, but life is good! Our little pop up was a lot of work with very little indoor living space. Maybe if we'd had one like this we would have kept it longer. Enjoy!
You did an awesome job bud I loved the whole real time you did and you didn’t even get frustrated once! I Probly would of thrown the door lol if it was me
Looks like it requires a lot of finesse and patience. Thx for the demo I can cross this one off my list.
Thank you for your service. Although it’s a beautiful pop up, it’s too much work to set up. In the mid eighties, my husband and I had a huge Starcraft pop up and it was not as difficult to set up. But then again we were thirty five years younger with three boys. Hope your fiancé is better soon.
Nope, you're right. I commented the same thing. We still have our 86 Coleman and it doesn't take half the time to setup. And yes, I understand the recording and talking time. I pointed out the differences in why it's taking a LOT longer. Just poor design.
Bless her heart. She sounds like she feels like total sheet
Thanks for posting! Just acquired a Rockwood BHESP 2280 - like seeing how others do their setup
You are a good tour guide I luv the pop up!!!!
Good memory good old days we had that. Best of all, my favorite to start ☕️ in the morning
My husband and I usually only fight when we’re putting something together 😆 tents, furniture, grills, etc. project work is not our love language
Yep! Christmas tree too. Or me trying to back up a trailer and him directing...turns u.g.l.y! Idk how to back a trailer!! Setting me up for failure. 🤣
Lol yes or when backing up the camper😂
Welcome to club Donna😄me and my wife when coming is over 😟
@@bellepepperxx I am awful giving directions. We did better when husband guided me, and I backed the trailer in far enough the wheels were on the garage floor, then he pushed it back and blocked the wheels. It did take a few tries for both of us.😏
@@bellepepperxx I had to look up videos about how to back up a trailer, though, before we even brought it home!
I agree, I was thinking about a pop up but after watching this, I'm out! Thanks, you save me a lot of money.
My thoughts exactly.....at least it is nicer than a tent when finally up.
I love it. I have to watch things like this as my husband will never do this. Have a lot of fun
This is the best choice for any younger family who want to get off the ground, yet enjoy the great outdoors. All those large windows open up for fresh air and a wide open view, while offering protection from the weather when desired. My wife and I owned a new Coleman Cheyenne back in 2007. Today with children grown, we have moved to a 2018 Winnebago Travato, after owning two Coachman Freedom Express camping trailers and a thirty-one foot C class Jayco motorhome. The simpler you can do it as you age, the better! KISS - keep it simple . . .but we are only in our seventies here!🤠🙏✝️
We did a week long trip this last October. The hottest week of October on record. Horrible thunderstorm the first night. Loved the AC and not a drop of water in the camper. We had been tent camping and both agreed that we wouldn't have stayed after the significant storm and heat if we were still in a tent. I agree, with everything opened up it still feels like close to nature and in a tent but with total dryness and AC when needed ! ( and microwave...stove...oven...bathroom...)
Thank you for sharing your camping trip. Excellent set-up shown with all of the details! You made it look so wiick and easy too! After the kids got bigger, downsized from a 41ft pull camper with 1 bedroom; to a 38 ft 1 bedroom + 1 bunkroom. But now, all of our sons are grown with homes of their own. My husband hasn't camped even once in the new one! I'm seriously thinking something like this, or a pop-up might be just what I need. Thank you very much! Nice work!
we had a popup when i was younger. my dad and i set it up. we had a routine and it didn't take that long at all. i'm sure she'll be able to help you and you'll have it up in no time. just need a routine. enjoy
Thanks for sharing your first setup. Beautiful popup, my ex and I bought one years ago that also had the dinette slide. I loved it but it definitely was a challenge setting it up. It had legs that you pulled down and if you camped somewhere not level, we would have to dig to get them set in place. We loved our popup. I think our first time we set ours up, we got hung up in a traffic jam for a few hours. We had reservations but didnt get there till 10 at night. And it was raining. There was alot of arguing and laughs for years after that one. Eventually, we learned to work together and we could get all set up in 15 min. Enjoy!
Thank you have watched your video 3 times!! just upgraded to a HW27KS after owning and camping in a Fleetwood Westake for 11 years. I haven't had chance to camp in my new rig yet but your video has set me up nicely for my first set up. I have to say I am not impressed with the build quality from Forest River, but the floorplan & look is so fancy. Many thanks to the wonderful camera lady, way to hang in there and see it to the end!
I had a pop up and camped a few years in it. The set up and break down got old quickly. For about the same price we bought a somewhat compact 21 foot trailer with an electric slide out to make it wider inside. Much happier now, pull up to the camp site and just hit the button for the slide out and that’s about it. Hard sides, a real bathroom, much better insulation, etc. and at just 21 feet it fits in all of our favorite camp sites.
Good job buddy!
Bless her heart. She can hardly breathe .
Pretty cool, I've seen those already set up, but I've never seen the High Wall in the process of being set up. As a kid we went from tent to pop up to small travel trailer, while the travel trailer was easiest set up, tents and pop ups can get into places travel trailers struggle with and are much easier to store when not in use. As of now I am a tent camper, something like this would work great for me. Wishing you and your lady many happy camping trips and fond memories of them.

I had my StarCraft for 6 years and loved it to no end. It opened up to 26 feet and had a slide. I used it a lot. Then I up graded to a hard wall. We like to camp in the winter months. But, when ever I see a tent trailer, it's like seeing your first girlfriend again. You get that old feeling again. Enjoy it as much as you can.
I have no desire to buy a pop up camper of any kind but but I was glued from the first and that was one hell of a video. Extremely comprehensive and very thorough. You set up and reviewed that trailer like you've owned it for years. And God bless your fiancé.
Your fiance is a total trooper. That wasn't too bad of a setup time for your first time at it and all alone. You will have it down to 15 minutes in no time. Some of my fondest memories were camping in a Starcraft pop-up. Nice video with no editing. Bravo.
Liked the looks of the high wall pop up.We have a 1984 Jayco pop up camper and enjoy it more sometime than are 25 ft. Wilderness camper. We thought for one person assembly you did really good. We liked alot about yours. Ares came with no A/C heater. We camper in Missouri in February at 30 degrees outside with a electric heater and two large dogs. My son had A frame pop up with A/C and heat and him and his family came to our to get warm. The 1984 pop up had the most space out of the two. Enjoy camping!
I totally get what you were saying about setting up tents . I love it. The versatility of positioning it for maximum comfort, shade , veiw or whatever the reason and setting up the sleeping areas and all that. I love tent camping !!!! I also like the aspects of a class b or c campervan , so this would be a mix of both. Thanks for the indepth set up. Much appreciated!
Thanks. for sharing. My wife and I have been searching for a camper that fits in the garage which has an entrance clearing of 6'8". That high wall model is the best of many pop-ups due to the added protection. Watching your video was fun. You remained calm with every new challenge you both met. It's 2022 now and we hope you still enjoy camping.
Thank you for showing off the set up of this unit. Very informative
Great video! Glad to know the struggle is real. They always make it sound and look so easy at the dealerships.
Wow, some assembly is required. Still better then putting up a family tent and then the bathroom and shower tent, then the.....
How many of you guys said, "Bless you", when the misses sneezed. She is a trooper indeed.
I really enjoyed the video. Thx.
Remember being a kid in the 70's camping with the pop up. Whole thing was canvas. Touch the sides when it rained and dad would lose his sh#t. Lol. Good times.
Nice camper. Looked small until the top was opened up. Very clever. I'm now an subscriber.
I felt that frustrated laugh when the second bar for the rooftop 😂
Thanks for sharing this. My husband and I were considering the 2020 version of your beautiful camper, but now realize that the set up would be a bit much for us. So helpful!
He was great on showing set up for pop up!❤️awesome 💪🙌
Now that’s a popup👍
Great for a pop up. I’m lazy. Going camper trailer instead. Thanks for sharing. The lady was a trooper.
Thank you for taking the time to show us, single women want one so bad but did think I could do it now I know with a little trial and error it can be done hope you honeys alregies get better
Awesome video. Nice pop-up. A bit too much work to set up. Your fiance did a great job, like a pro! Thanks for sharing. Enjoy!
My wife and I have the same model, a year or two older.. We work together and have it setup (including unhooking the tow vehicle) in 15 to 18 minutes. It's not that bad. We love it!
Good god...... reminds me of why we quickly got out of pop up camping, 1 season and we sold it and bought an RV.
Lol Lord help us all lol
It's because you didn't buy an older model that's much easier to setup. 😉
It amazes me that people can design all this. Like a giant puzzle. Good job putting it together!
Thank you for posting this educational video on pop up campers it looks great , but I think I’ll stay with my caravan it’s less work to set up ,stay safe & happy camping .best wishes from Sweden .
My husband and I borrowed his parents pop up camper, and it wasn't near as hard as the one in the video. Now this was 30 years ago, and didn't have a bathroom or a pop out for the dining area. It was what is called a hard sided pop up. It had a queen size bed on one side and a double bed at the opposite end. Nice dining table, seating for four, and could be turned into a bed. Had a kitchen area (stove and oven, sink), ect. The sides to the bed, once pulled out, were solid fiberglass. We were able to set it up in about 10 minutes. So don't be discouraged about pop-ups, as there are easier ones to set up. The one this gentleman has just has all the bells and whistles.
I like that the table can be used outside as well for food prep and what not. Pretty cool idea! I really like this pop-up camper! One of the best I’ve seen in innovation!
I enjoyed. thanks for posting
Happy Camping to you both! Nice setup..
Just sold me on buying a travel trailer 😆
Thanks for sharing your experiences, (or a lack thereof). I have been hoping to get one for a while now. But I also have been hoping to get a truck to pull it with too! Truck first, then camper!
Wow those cicadas are no joke in the background! Good video, thanks for posting
Was considering buying one of these. I changed my mind at 12:03 when he hadn't even gone inside yet. I knew I was over it.
That wouldn't have been a problem when I was younger but I'd be working through the night to get it together now. I like popups but am too afraid of bears...hungry bears trying to rip through the canvas to get inside at my food. This one's pretty high up so I'd just have to remember not to leave step ladders, trash cans, tool boxes and other stuff that they can climb on out overnight. Those snap on lights and fans are damn cool! Leave a blade of some kind in a drawer somewhere in case there's a fire and you can't get the door open. But that is a really nice popup. To those who say "too much work" I want to remind them that nothing good ever comes easy, my friends. The veteran works to make good things happen while the civvies sit on the sidelines and whine. I hope your lady found some relief for your weekend. Allergies suck. Poor thing. Enjoy your lives. That's all that matters. Happy camping.

Good job for first time. 👏👏👏 And as others said, not getting frustrated was pretty cool! Sorry for all the “too much work” comments. To each their own. I tell ya... you seen our aframe tour video.... we have a lot of work moreso because we bring lots of stuff. We like stuff!!! We like doing stuff outside. 😂 But the plus of set up is for one, it’s rewarding. I mean it’s camping... setting up camp is a thing for some. Busy work... we like busy work. Second, on a medical standpoint... before our aframe, we were both not active and had health issues from that lifestyle! Now.... moving our bodies while setting up, has helped all of those issues! Literally gone! So as much as we’d love a park and sit... we don’t want one as well. 😉 Every thing we set up is free exercise! In time it all gets faster of course when your system is down pact. (Then you buy more stuff!🤣)
Another side note pro for us....small units fit in cool places I wouldn’t give up for the world. (Including HOA home storage in the garage happiness for us.) That includes being two feet from a shore line literally! That is our favorite and also well worth what sometimes takes us half hour or more to level. (Our favorite area has quite an incline near shore.)
Point being.... when you figure out what you like it’s all worth it, albeit a little thing that needs setup or a big thing that needs land or space to store it on.
🤗 And I swear I have seen large campers, 5th wheels, etc., with just as much crap brought outside to set up as we have! 😆
In regards to full trailer campers compared to pop ups ....Let’s not even get into better gas mileage... easier to tow.... not having to worry about windy driving hazards and back up parking for those uncomfortable with that.
Different strokes for different folks... positive attitude for each other’s camping style choice is the way to go!
Beautiful unit! After several times doing it the two of you will have it up in 15 minutes. Ours has a cassette toilet that we only use for #1. Handy for evenings. Then we roll it to the outhouse or showerhouse and drain it. We also have an add-a-room that zips onto the awning which effectively doubles our space and we out two four foot tables on an L-shape where we have our ice maker, dishwashing pans and three drawer unit. I put down puzzle pieces and lay our RV mat on top for a wonderful underlay. Lol. Soft on the feet when not wearing shoes.
One thing I really like about this camper is the HUGE windows!
Beautiful pop up. But watching you do this… makes me so happy I sold my pop up.
You are a patient and efficient person. Like the video. Sorry for your fiancé not feeling 100%.
Glad I have a class A..Enjoy your times out camping.....
So I watched you set this up your High Wall in this video about a year ago. Since then I've been trying to figure out which camper to buy. Fast forward to today.... in a few days I'll be picking up an almost brand new 2021 Viking tent trailer that will fit in our garage. Yay! So I'll be taking your experiences and applying them as we also go out in a week or so and set up for the first time. Thanks again for shooting this video and sharing it with us.
Thanks for the review. I'm looking at getting one of these! Appreciate the time you took to make the review
Beautiful unit thanks for sharing
Thank you for showing us this set up! Both of you worked so hard - you did a great job and I wish you happy camping. I must say, though, that this was one more nail in the coffin for popups for me; I’m going directly to a hybrid camper. Love the tent ends… but all the Velcro, door set-up, and a wet bathroom were too much for me.
Nice job , you get faster after a few times of setting up , we level the camper first then the stableizers go down and then lift the roof , as soon as the roof is up put on those safety bars just in case . We use a small hand level on the bunk support bars to level . You could probably feel me helping you push on that front canvas roof ,mine is still snug after 2 years but not bad .you already discovered the corner zippers we unzip to within a inch or so of the top, they can be stubborn to line up if unzippef all the way with tension on the canvas .we can tow our popup with any vehicle in the house and it stores in the garage , not so with a hardside so that made our decision easy and the extra work worth it , congrats and have fun , from a fellow rockwooder .
I imagine next time the camera person aka fiance will help and make it go by a lot quicker and efficient.
You done well I from uk
Thats a sweet camper, real nice. You have all that room with a bathroom and still the convenience of a pop up camper. A nice decision and purchase. I liked watching someone set it up first time instead the usual joe pro. I felt for the camera person, I suffered with seasonal allergies and hay fever when I was younger... you did a great job shooting the video while all stuffed up. Enjoy the trips and memories.
When both people are setting it up it’s quicker, the more you setup and down the quicker it becomes. Yes we use a drill so much quicker. I think it’s fabulous. Ours is similar but we don’t have that pop out on the side. We love it. Happy camping.
Great Video, thank you so much!!! This really helped me make my decision. Beautiful place you set up to camp...
Thank you for sharing. It looks like one of the nicest inside of all pop ups. I'm not a fan of the generic brown wood cabinets they have out there. Doesn't look so bad to set up. PS Bless you camera lady.
Awesome man. Enjoyed the real-ness of the set up experience. Your wife deserves a trophy man. She’s awesome.
Great video!
Bless her
Thank you for your service
A very long time to set up, but a very nice pop up. Enjoy! You said you spent time in submarine duty, I assume you were in the Navy. I served as well. Thank you for your service veteran Brother, I was an Air-dale. Enjoy the new trailer and happy camping.
my husband also served in submarine service. Took a while to set up but I am sure the more you use it the easier and faster it will become plus your other half will most likely be helping.
Rick C Fellow Veteran Brother Thank You for your Service from an Air Force Veteran . My brother was in the Navy on the sub USS Sam Ray Burn home ported in Holy Loch Scotland . He was stationed state side in New London , Connecticut . He rented a house near by in Gales Ferry , Ct. What is an Air-dale ?.
@@bobshaw4063 An Airedale is referred to Pilots and Sailors that work in the aviation division, also know as the Brown Shoe Navy. Since all Pilots wore Brown shoes. I was an Aviation hydraulic and structures Mechanic.
@@MRCRUZER19 Thank You four reply & explanation of an Airedale .

THankX from all, USA Patriots..Now of Only i, could find one like my cuz Dave HAD YRS ago , .
under 2000.00 🇺🇸👵 lol,
I Just love Fishin !
It’s a good idea to have a checklist to do the setup in order so you don’t miss something that causes extra work during setup. Plugging in a couple days before will cool your refer down before heading out. Also running the fridge on gas during travel will keep it cool. Enjoy your pop up. We are on our third. We just got a HW296.
yOU DONT NEED CHECK LIST AFTER DOING IT A FEW TIMES THE CHECK LIST WOULD BE IN YOUR BRIAN .
Are they still Selling your new modal and for how much brand new ? Thank You
Great video. We had an older Rockwood popup for about 5 years. Just got tired of the setup and finally bought regular camper.
Ive had pop ups for years, love them
Could set it up and take it down in about 10 minutes or little less.
Yes, This was my very first time. It did get better the more I practiced. I think one of the problems with this one is that it was a high wall. Everything was placed higher up, bigger and heavier. If I were to do it again...probably just a regular 8 or 10 foot box pop up
Looks really neat!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Hi!!! I absolutely Love it!!! All the amenities you need!!! We’ve gone from tents to a travel trailer and almost done with our 1991 Class C renovation. Its so exciting. Wishing you Great Times and Memories!!! Bs safe!!
My friend that is a beautiful popup!!!! You did very well for your first setup after the dealer bombarded you with info. I have such a soft spot for popups.. Bless your wife she is a trooper.... The allergies were beating her up a bit. I know your new and I love this... Get yourself a surge protector and a water pressure regulator. It will save you in the long run.. Most importantly Enjoy that beautiful camper!!! Last but not least... Great video!
Thanks, will do!
Nice job and pretty cool build out👏👏👏👏
A-frame vs pop-up tent camper. A-frame less than 5 min to set up with no canvas to dry out . Pop-up 30 min to set up with canvas to dry out. No canvas flapping in the wind for A-frame vs a lot of noise from the canvas in the wind and neighbors in the tent pop-up. If you don't need the extra bed space the A-frame is the way to go.
Well yeah lol. The extra bed is the reason why people get a pop up to begin with. That's like saying, I have a Toyota Camary. Great fuel economy, cheap parts and labor. So if you don't need that v12 engine in your Lamborghini, I'd go with the Camary.
We had a 1973 bare bone pop up Cox camper. 5 minutes set up at most . And we had electric hookup for a a fan and a small portable tv .. wish I could buy one today. 5 people comfortably
Thank you for the video, great set up! Very much appreciated.
can you imagine setting up at midnight THATS A NICE POP UP
Great instructions my man! Nicely done.
That is a great deal of WORK.! I am glad it is not raining!!!
I gave you a thumbs up for effort. OMG like others have said. That is a nightmare to set up! You would need at least a week in it! I’m sorry I really wanted to enjoy this but I was exhausted watching it! Good job you are fit!❤️❤️❤️
Great video! Thx for sharing
Thank you for actually showing how this pop-up is put together! I've watched several videos on Pop-up trailers, but all of them are already "magically" up and together! It is nice to see how it's done! I am even more vertically challenged than you, plus as a female I don't have the arm/shoulder strength that even the smallest male would have! I would have to do a "pop-up trial" prior to any purchase, just to make sure that I would be able to open and setup the camper myself.
Nice camper
We have an old one that we love a lot
I missed one of the latches took it right off was able to fix it good looking rig/happy trials
We've owned our hiwall 276 for about 4 years. Take a magic marker to mark the slot positions for the support poles. My wife and I devide and conquer. She does the inside and I get the outside. We have had mixed results as far as build quality we bought ours used so we had some issues. Bring a few tools and keep an eye out for loose parts.
Just caught your video. Very nice. We have a Flagstaff HW27 ks from 2013. very similar in a lot of ways. We went with it cause the Kitchen slide meant I didn't have to be inside very much. The wife is height challenged so I made her a double step to help her get in the bunks. One step would help you guys in setting the poles. Have fun, in the camper. open the screens and you almost feel like your outdoors. Bless you guys, the adventure begins.
