Forest River Rockwood Mini Lite travel trailer exterior

The Rockwood Mini Lite is a very nice small travel trailer.  We show the floorplan for the model 1408 - the shortest model at just 16'7" long - below.  (We show the floorplans for all models further down this page.)  The 1408 is really a good alternative to other very small travel trailers such as the r-pod (length between 16'2") and even the t@b teardrop (length 15'6".  But the length range of the Mini Lite really makes available a very good range of lengths - from 16'7" to 25'8".  Want something bigger?  The Rockwood ultra lite range provides lengths 23'4" to 31'9" - see reviews for the longer Rockwood model here.)

The picture below shows the interior for the model 1809S (see floorplans below.)  This model is 20'1" long with one slide  The Rockwood is built with a fully laminated aluminum frame (floor, sidewall, & roof). Insulation factors R-7 side wall, R-12 floor and roof. 
Forest River says: "When the weekend comes and you're ready for adventure, Rockwood rises to the challenge. Rockwood travel trailers and 5th wheels turn every outing into a party. These fun-inspired units are designed with family-friendly features that make your time together a celebration."

Forest River have created a wide range of floorplans
for the Rockwood Mini Lite travel trailer

The 1408 is the shortest model at just 16'7" (this floorplan is featured above.)  The 1608 (17'5") adds bunks to the layout.  A 72" flip sofa is featured in the 1808 (20') and the 1809 provides a full 54 x 74 bed.  The 1809S adds a slide to the 1809 giving a feeling of spaciousness to this small travel trailer.  All models from the 1808 up include a full bathroom.

The 2104 (22') has a 50 x 74 queen bed and the 2106 (the same length at 22') provides the alternative of a 48 x 76 bed with a 26 x 76 bunk. 

The 2304 increases the length to 23'4" with a nice layout with a queen bed.  The 2306 (23'1") is family oriented and has not only a queen bed but also triple bunks.

The longest Mini Lite models are the 2502 and the 2502S both 25'8" long.  These models do not have bunks and are really spacious.  The 2502S increases the feeling of space further with a slide-out.

witherigwe purchased a 2009 rockwood minilite new from dealer then the dealer went out of business due to fdic closing the bank they used. so far very happy with the camper.
BrighamWe have the 2007 model Forest River 2502. Real good deal with all the options about $15K. We pull with our Nissan rated at 5000 lbs towing. no problems plenty of power.
pdqAlways nervous buying something new! Just bought the Rockwood mini lite 1809. Our first trailer was a tent trailer (Jayco 806), which had very good ratings. Had only minor issues and overall was an excellent trailer. Hope the 1809 is as good!
Greg HWe have a 2007 Forest River. This is our first RV and we've been very happy with it. The bunk beds work fine and it's perfect for a family of 4. No real problems and it tows well. We've had a few minor issues dealt with by the dealer and they are not easy to deal with but Forest River are very helpful when you talk to them. I would certainly buy Forest River again but I would choose a different dealer.
