- Hello all! This is a 6 month review of our 2021 Rockwood Mini Lite 2509S. There are some minor issues we point out in the video. We love this trailer and the manufacturer even after the minor warranty issues, all RV's and Travel Trailers will have issues. if you can't deal with minor issues.....stay in a motel or hotel and miss out on all the fun we all enjoy will on trips in a RV or Trailer!!!!
We have been camping almost every weekend and have plenty more trips planned and this is an unedited video on the fly, so I forgot to mention they should have a split in the bed curtin in the center rather then one side, plus a couple other items.....We are head to the pool and to enjoy the wine tasting at the Meadowcliff KOA. Then to smoked snow crab on the bbq, get ready for the next gourmet dinner camping trailer style!
I've been researching trailers for over a year now -- with the 2509S being at the top of the list for us. This is, without a doubt, the best video I've seen on it. You laid out all of the little (potential) problem areas to look for, as well as offering a bunch of great tips, tricks and add-ons to make the trailer more functional. This deserves lots of views. Thanks.
I have the identical twin to your trailer, which is the 2021 Flagstaff Micro Lite 25BRDS. The only real difference between our units is that mine has the 12-volt refrigerator, which I love. We don't camp off-grid and the fridge and freezer get cold very quickly. We also have the same issue with our cabinet doors over the dinette; however, we simply close them in a manner so that they don't sag. We completely bypassed and removed the inside water canister style filter and use an outside inline filter now, as I was worried about emptying the canister during winter storage, as I didn't want it to freeze and crack. My tread on spare tire (Chinese made) completely separated while mounted to the bumper, so please check your periodically. I switched to Goodyear Endurance so that it matches the rest of the tires. We too love our trailer. Great vide and happy camping.
Suggestion for the floor under the Murphy bed…place a nice decorative rug under it instead of the washcloths. 👍🏻 Thanks for your great video! Can’t wait to get our’s in a few weeks.
Thanks for taking the time to make this review! Good tip on draining the kitchen faucet before travel. Bathroom sinks on the 2022s are on an angle now... must have taken your advice !
Appreciate your honesty about the power stabilizers. Besides I'm not putting down enough force, I've seen enough people with wiring issues and fuses blowing.
Probably the best 2509S video I’ve seen, excellent! Almost bought this twice!
Great detailed honest review :). What I’ve learned so far … there is NO company that makes a perfect travel trailer ! They all have their issues
I was at that KOA earlier this summer, it's pretty awesome, really nice and clean. Also, nice trailer and truck.
Thank you for your long(er) term review. It’s a great balance to ask of the professional reviews. Like someone or you said nothing is perfect, but I agree you seem pretty handy!
I actually have those jack stands from years ago. I’ll be using them in the future. Thanks for the information
Nice review. We have the nearly identical RV. Interesting, your opinion on the jacks is opposite from ours. I couldn’t love ours any more, but to each their own. We’ve used ours now for a lot longer than you had when you recorded this. Not one single warranty issue. It’s our 13th RV - from diesel pushers, Class C, fifth wheels, some TT’s. This has been the most trouble-free RV we’ve ever owned. Best wishes to you!
Thank you for the thorough review. Blessings.
Great review! I own this trailer also. Having the stairs come out from under the trailer old school is so much better than the way this is set up. If you ever want to pull next to a curb you won't even be able to put the stairs down and close the door and they have to be readjusted practically everywhere you go so the door doesn't hit them.
Great Job! So sorry you had so many issues, the wife and I see the demands on the manufacturers due to covid and the huge demand and we decided to wait a couple of years so some of these issues go away. Hopefully.
I had to laugh. We live in Silver Springs and just stayed at the Colville KOA two weeks ago. Practically in the same space. The folks were great and we plan to go back. Nice seeing a fellow Nevadan on UA-cam. 😄
Wow! I see why the dealer is so backed up now. Thank you, I was about to buy one just like it and you helped me think it’s not a good idea. I really appreciate it a ton!
We got the 2507S this June and love it. Had an accident with the two propane bottles falling off due to the dealer not tightening them down enough which caused damage to the line that runs to the back end. A cabinet door hinge came loose the wood broke and the GFI plug keep tripping on its own. Nothing major wrong yet and dealer will have it all fixed in 4 weeks. We opted for the queen size bed convertible sofa in the slide out where our two grandkids slept, they or we can watch tv directly in front of it and have the bigger bathroom & storage with glass shower doors, much bigger pantry and bigger outside kitchen with bigger refrigerator . With the roof solar inverter option you get a bigger 0.9 cu. ft. refrigerator freezer and battery charging. The electric jacks when leveled have no wave action that we noticed and the steps were adjusted correctly with no issues. I realize that everyone will have some issues to be fixed, they all do but all in all we like the quality and layout for this size trailer. Wife’s Ram 1500 will pull it but my Ram 2500 Cummins with air ride give us added security and better fuel economy. I added a aux 36 gal fuel tank so we don’t have to stop and refuel as much with 67 gal total on board. Rockwood is one of the top manufacturers. The Murphy bed and outside kitchen were a must have for us, like having a 30+ ft’r under 26 ft. that tows like it isn’t there. Very happy, and would buy it again.
We have the 2507s with the 12 volt fridge. It gets cold quick and zero propane use. No more turning off the fridge when refueling. Yay !
Thanks for the great overview of your trailer. My husband and I are still looking for one that would work for our family, so these videos are very helpful.
We have the 2507s with the electric stabilizers, and we agree: they could be better. Trailer still rocks and rolls with them down. The bathroom faucet is too short as well. Makes it difficult to wash your hands. We've had some issues with warranty stuff, and continue to find more, as we live in ours full time. Thanks for sharing!
