This Video was recorded BY YOUR POPUPLAR DEMAND AND REQUEST! You let me know what you want to see and I will do my best to make it happen! That being said this is definitely a model I was wanting to get my hands on regardless!!
Rockwood/Flagstaff is just FANTASTIC about taking something familiar and re-inventing it in ways that result in sometimes dramatic improvements. I think that's exactly what they've done here.
This half ton towable travel trailer combines good entertainment, a fantastic bathroom, and bedroom privacy with impressive kitchen facilities both inside and out! Consider it's all under 26ft total length.. that's quite the impressive feat!!

Flagstaff/Rockwood always sets the example of how to do it right. This is my favorite length for a camper for maneuverability on the road or in the parks. So glad someone finally realized people don't like to watch the TV sideways. We're seeing more and more of the straight on viewing in newer campers. Thanks for showing this one Josh. It's a winner.
Going to share this with them. Ty :)
Perfect couples camper. Hopefully still doing this model for 2024
I really, really like this one! Great bathroom....especially for us fluffier people and no radius shower...check. Great storage inside and out...check. A fireplace just because...check. Good counter space in kitchen...check. A dinofa table and no dinette...check and check. Light wood looks very nice...and a solar package...great awning space...outdoor kitchen...tpms...Goodyears! And list goes on. I am impressed with this one. Oh...I would definitely put my vitamix by that outlet...perfect spot! Yay! Thank you for traveling in the winter icky ❄⛄ to film this...love it!!! I am liking Rockwood/Flagstaff more and more! You rock! Can't wait to see what else you are going to show us!
Buckle up-this ride is only just getting started!!
@@JoshtheRVNerd woo hoo!!! 🌈💃🎶🎵
Got some snow there
Seems to happen every year lol
Perfect set up for me. Love the storage and the sitting area.
Oh my, I am so excited. Thank you 😊
Looks like you’re the first one this one! Welcome :)
Awesome camper and floor plan. Thanks for sharing Josh👍👍
This is wonderful, absolutely at top of my list! I actally appreciate the ability to easily make the end of the bed. Tons of storage and kitchen prep area! The best I've seen for a couple. Thanks for showing so well!
My pleasure and thank you for watching!
This is a great RV. I love the layout, the storage and the position of the TV.
♥️♥️♥️seeing couples campers! Thanks Josh...this is a beauty!
It’s a good one for sure
As always Josh, great video. Keep up the safe travels. I am really enjoying your new exposure to rvs you didn't have access to before.
Man it’s been so much fun already
So awesome to see a Flagstaff review! I'm telling ya, if I was in the market for a TT of this size, this one would definitely be hooked to the back of my truck (well, not THIS one but one I would order with the two-way fridge). My 529RBS has the same interior and you can just see the quality workmanship even in the video. Flagstaff/Rockwood may not be the 'top of the line' brands but I'll put their quality against anyone else any day. While all those Grand Designs are in the shop, my Flagstaff is in a campsite.
I like that they put a sink in the outside kitchen, a feature lacking in my model though I do have the hot/cold sprayer port right there and I don't fill my gray tank when using it and I have more counterspace, still, the sink is a nice addition.
They included a fireplace whereas most others would not have bothered. Really nice touch. Love the theater seat! Awesome size bathroom! Great storage. Love everything about this. The only criticism on this one is they didn't put slam-latches on the baggage doors, but far from a deal killer. This is one awesome camper.
Anyone not familiar with Flagstaff/Rockwood looking for a top-quality well made durable camper, take a look at these. You just won't find better for the money!
Wow man!! I feel like I owe you money for this or something! Love your enthusiasm and appreciate the info from an owner!!
Those shower misers are so cool. Can't believe they're not more common!
I'm sure it's one of those things that often gets left out because it's a few bucks more. Rockwood doesn't seem to sweat the small stuff, though. They're not the "step over a dollar to pick up a dime" types
Yay! Shade in door.
Just got the Rockwood 2513 (same model) in December. Upgraded AC, added extra Maxx Air fan, extra solar panel, extra TV, plus slide toppers, and we do have a full queen in bedroom and it works great - that little room at the bottom is pretty useless anyway. We just love this floor plan! We were going to go with the 2516, but this has so much storage and the outdoor kitchen is my husband’s GO TO space! And that little storage door on the slide out is small but tall. Good for umbrellas and such. Great review as always!!
Congrats!! Great choice obviously lol
Finally a couples camper! I like it.
Plenty more coming!
Another Rockwood / Flagstaff favorite. Thanks for driving there to show us.
Truly my pleasure!!!
Thanks for doing this one I’ve been waiting to see this one
Hope you enjoyed it! Sorry it took so long. I've been trying to get my hands on one of these for a long while now
This is amazing! My wife and I are loving the "couples" RVs
More to come!! Sub up if you haven’t. Got a LOT coming this year
Love the kitchen and bedroom storage. I will always take chairs or sofas over the dinette.
Me like! Totally enjoying seeing theatre seating instead of the dinettes. So much more versatile! Those colour tones open it up soooo much!
This one was a nicely present surprise
Great to floorplsn and amazing storage! Love the huge bathroom. Swap out to the camp queen and it is a total winner!
Uncle Gary is real! He's like Santa, he makes an appearance we just don't see him 😆 thank you for the awesome tour! Stay warm uncle Josh 💯
Love this
Beautiful RV. I love this.
Love it Josh!!! I told the husband that is the bathroom I must have!! Thank you for showing it!!
That’s awesome!! Ty
This is impressive for the size and the amount of storage you get inside and out. I started with a 24 ft r pod and the storage capacity wasn’t even close to this. Plus you get theater seats and an awesome bathroom….. and great bedroom storage. Wow Very impression for a small TT!
Thx Jen! This group is super strong
Great couples RV. Definitely on my short list. Thanks for the informative video!
These are always my pleasure!
looks good for a seasonal site couples camper
You must have been in heaven when you saw the shade on the door. Nice light color on the interior, light but not white. 👍 Nice layout for a couple’s camper, really nice camp kitchen. Neat under bed storage. As to what to put in there, I think it’s a nice private place to keep your adult toys. 😉
Hahahaha it’s certainly a nice improvement
Wink wink...😉
I purchased a flagstaff from that dealership prior to the change. Great staff there. All areas the staff was great to work with. Hope they were able to keep most of them.
I can speak from personal experience Bish’s makes sure any existing employees have a position after an acquisition
They don’t have a takeover team or anything. They just want to take what has worked at a store and expand on it
Wow tons of storage in this Unit, definitely going to be a HOT SELLER ! Thanks for the great videos.
Yes, I'm amazed at, and love, all the storage too!
🙋🇨🇦
Love it. I could see myself chasing Traveling Roberts adventures in this rig. In the bedroom the drawer was left off to save a ton of hiccups for people forgetting the drawer when the slid comes in. Also the closet door would be in the way of the drawer and vice versa. Just my opinion, I think it’s genius leaving the drawer out on that side of bed
It does make sense now that you mention it
I really like this one. I have been a fan of the 2511S due to the storage and bigger bathroom. This seems to give you all of that with a bigger kitchen and the outdoor kitchen. Thanks doing these videos from the other stores.
I guess the all set is travel accessibility. One month you get to the bathroom and one let’s you get to the bedroom but overall yeah. I do agree this is a little more functional versus the 2511
Great rv...with one exception...they need to figure out how to get a bigger gray tank in there.
30gal is just to small!
Josh..keep up the good work as always! 🐾😎💞
Beautiful love it, yaay wow factor on that outdoor kitchen, now were camping lol. I personally would need a larger rv, but I love this one
NICE! Kudos for the door window shade and no floor vents!~
Yeah these guys and gals are on the ball
I love my Flagstaff 25brds but this one is really nice. Flagstaff and Rockwood are known for not wasting space. Reason i went with Flagstaff is because of outside storage access. And i love the new swinging doors instead of the lift access doors.
Ooooooo
"Dinofa."
More quarters for Greg 😁
The bathroom reminds me of our previous trailer, The Rockwood 2507.
mini light.
Moved up to the Rockwood 2606 WS.
Absolutely love it. And yes I had to buy a bigger truck....... darn it 😉
Have a Jesus filled day everyone
Greg in Michigan
Owe you lots of quarters :)
Perfect floor plan!
This is one heck of a layout
I have always liked Rockwood (Flagstaff). I like this RV. Great two person camper. Small enough for National Forest and campgrounds. Nice kitchen area. The 2 door cabinet in the living area would be great if one side was able to a closet. It ust needs slide covers and expanded solar.
Both of those are available
Side Covers cost too much for what they are, I use a broom & Or a battery leaf blower just before I close my slides, never had a problem with no slide Covers
Perfect thing to watch during surgery recovery thanks, my grandparents 2010 rockwood had the TV on the bed wall and yea it wasn't the best this fixes it. Definitely like how Rockwood does the theater seating perfect for a couple or single rider, will need something like the 25bds for a dinette unfortunately I think. Im getting a tacoma so something like the 2109s eventually for me, but this thing is nice👍👍
Stay tuned.. I am working on getting a Coschmen spirit with that layout put out. Had some neat features on it
Thank you for doing this video. My wife wrote earlier but I wanted to give more details. 😁 We have been watching closely as we knew you'd get to it. We ordered the Rockwood 2513s last September. Hoping it will be here by April or May. We added the slide toppers, extra Maxxair fan in the bedroom, 15000 btu AC, Sport tire wheel package and power stabilizer Jacks. Behind the fridge there is also a nice exterior storage area that is very tall, for fishing rods, golf clubs, etc. We really like that the bedroom is separate as one of us may want to sleep longer and not be woken by noise the other is making. 😁 Thanks again! Btw, if you can figure a way to secure the bathroom door open, like using a door stopper, then close the slide I think you could access the bathroom.
Keep watching and let me know what you think of it - and chime in when you have a handy owner tip or something!!
@@JoshtheRVNerd ordered in September so when it finally arrives we will for sure be doing a review. We got Rockwood tan
I know it wouldn’t be without some sacrifice of space in the bathroom but if that door could become a ‘pocket door’ somehow, perhaps the bathroom could be accessible with the slide in.
@@michaelmabry2034 I agree. Not sure why they couldn't do that. The wife and I said the same.
Love the layout! Someone mentioned a pocket door to solve bathroom access problem ... that would be awesome. I wish they would give option for split or single sink!
That would be cool!
I really like the layout and space and storage and counter space and fridge and bathroom and bedroom and the nice entertainment COUCH along with tgrdoor shade included.
Lot of likes!!
This would be perfect it was just sitting on a lot by a pond and left there. Great video thanks
My pleasure!
Definitely my favorite floor plan
Seems to be a hit!
Josh that thing is badass I like,👌🙌
That’s a sweet camper! When I retire I’m getting me one of those! Unfortunately that’s like 15 years away but, hey, it’ll happen!
Man who knows what they will look like then!
Rockwood should put a sliding pocket door in place of swinging door going in to the bathroom.
I like that idea
Hey, Josh. Gread vid as usual. You can thank me for the magnets mentioned around 19:20 in your video. I added these to my early-2020 2511s and sent RW CS pics. They brought it to their design team and they were added to the mid-2020 revision. You're welcome... Rockwood listens to their owners.
Nice work!
Thanks Josh
My pleasure
This one is a WINNER for sure Josh. Thanks for the reveal. bill in Florida
My pleasure!!
Love this
Great review.. as always. Love the storage, just amazing kitchen. For us we would like a dinette do do work on and of course eat food.
Eat food?! Crazy talk 😜 😆
@@JoshtheRVNerd We have had several RV's for around 20+ years, sometimes it's not so nice outside and you need to eat (at a table) inside. The RV industry is always changing but not having a dinette, I just don't understand. Cheers !!
Perfect size!!
It’s a great, great layout
Maybe they could use a pocket door for the bathroom room then you could have access with the slide closed
That's a good idea. I suppose one could even just buy an aftermarket folding door that would then allow one to get into that bathroom when in turtle mode.
Very nice unit. Hope in the weather, the travelling is working out O.K.
The trip home sucked. The plane actually had to turn around. I had to stay an extra day overnight
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Currently saving for this RV the o e I. Stock doesn't have the theater seats but pretty nice couch instead.. it's good enough for me, I love this RV it's everything I'm looking for
I love that they changed up the TV location. So much better, I wish all manufactures would adopt this.
I'm surprised more have not
Lol this with a “deluxe tri fold sleeper sofa” is perfect for my family on the go
There ya go!
Another perfect one for a single person.
Thanks for another great video, sir!
I took delivery of a 2513S last August. Ordered with the 2nd Maxxair Vent Fan and slide toppers. I really like the unit, but a few things puzzle me that I really think they can improve: manual stabilizer jacks sit really low at the front (I've installed the removable kit), there's no reading lights by the bed (really liked those in my last unit), and on a rig of this caliber I feel they should have slam latches on baggage doors. Like I said, I enjoy it, just some ways it could be improved upon.
Hmm.. interesting points. Ty
Perhaps the front drop frame explains the jacks?
We ordered with the upgraded wheels. This raises the height and the problem may go away. Just an idea....
Man, awesome trailer!!! Well planned out! Wish we had seen this before we purchased a new to us 2020 Salem C.L. 273QBXL!
Very different layouts indeed!
Josh love, love, love your videos. You asked for models we may like to see if you could see if you could do a walk through on. I would love to see the 2720IK or 27FBIK depending on if it is the Rockwood or the Flagstaff and the 528MBS or 2887MB. Those look like great floorplans, but nobody in my area has one on hand to take a look at. Again love you videos, and thanks for the honesty and fairness in all of them.
Ty
Very nice but for me I’d still take the breakfast bar in 2514S.
Fair enough! I *really* like that 2514S -- way more than I thought I would
wattttup nerd! hope 2022 is going well for ya!
#LivingTheDream
Josh, we have a similar layout, slightly longer, but with opposing slides to give us a center island kitchen. I absolutely love the rear bath being so spacious, a lot of storage, and the outside kitchen we use all the time. It is nearly impossible to find that floor plan anymore with dual slides. It is unheard of to have nearly 3K of cargo capacity, 40 gallon fresh, and black water tanks, and two 40 gallon gray water tanks. Empty weight is 6,800. If you run across any new models that mimics this, let me know!
I am gamut with layouts like that but haven’t seen one for a while
This would be nice with no wall to the bedroom and a full size queen. Love the outdoor kitchen! Nice unit.
Guess what? They make that too!! See here m.ua-cam.com/video/CHqEdon-kJ4/v-deo.html
wow that storage is insane. love the lighter wood. I wish I had the courage to drive something this big. oh, and the kitchen outlet next to the oven is definitely screaming for a margarita machine.
I was impressed as well. EVERY ROOM has tons of capacity
🍹🍹
It is really not all that Big!
You can do it!! I'm 73 & have a 26+ft camper & with the right tow vehicle & maybe an upgrade on the rv suspension you'll be just fine!! Cheers🐾😎💞
I love this floor plan. Yes, a full-size queen would have been great. With the access on either side of the bed, it makes sense to put one in. Maybe the reason would be you could not open the storage under the bed? Just saying. Trying to think like a manufacturer instead of a REAL user. Real users find out ways to make things work, adaptability.
This one is 👍👍, I like the space for a coffee pot. Josh I know that you videoed the East-West TT, has anyone said that they don’t want it because they want to go North-South also🤣🤣? I noticed that you weren’t wearing a head & ear warmer this time, must not be cold there today 😆😆, 👍👍👍👍👍👍keep’m coming have a blessed day, God Bless
North to south lol
Propanus (insert Beavis and Butthead snicker)
I really like this one, beaucoup storage, front bedroom, big kitchen and big rear bath! 👍🏻
😉
I’d go with the lighter color. It brightens the entire Coach! I would be upgrading FROM a pop up camper so all of these Mini/Micro Lite’s are mansions in my eyes. LOL
It’s my wife and I and we just live these “couples coaches” you feature in your videos Josh!
Keep up the good informative work you do and mucho mucho congratulations on you new venture!
TY Tommy! Agree on the lighter interior. What kind of pop up do you have (or did you have)?
@@JoshtheRVNerd we still have a 1999 Coleman Westlake (When Fleetwood was still in the folding trailer market). Bought it brand new. Everything still works and I have had to put quite a few bandages on the roof so to speak.
@@tommykurka8202 Fleetwood truly did an amazing job in their time!
This is a great Floorplan and love the light wood color. Just went to the Tampa RV Show and a lot of units were framehouse white, ugh.
There’s definitely a lot of farmhouse fatigue that’s out there
Def a margarita maker in that corner!
See ya tomorrow!
Steve the Transporter
See you soon buddy!
Deciding between the 17MKE models and this. Both are great.
A little different layout between them. I wish Rockwood made that 17MKE. Man..
Hi
Hey!
Josh, you always do thorough videos. Thanks for that. That said, one thing that’s important to me when shopping for a trailer is how easy it is to access the water heater bypass valves, the antifreeze valve and the water filter. Can you show those access points on your videos?
That’s not likely something I would regularly cover but that’s easily something a team member can investigate and get photos of by request
All these campers look pretty good work on the road capabilities
was hoping to see you yesterday at GR RV show.... stopped by the Bish's area. Understand, you can't be everywhere at once lol
Yeah I was in Idaho at the same time for another event recording a bunch of new stuff like this you see here. It was a *busy* weekend and I'm whooped -- just in time to get back to Michigan for single digit weather
@@JoshtheRVNerd gotta love our weather... i've dropped 82 pounds in past 5 months. i can't handle our winters anymore... no insulation. Starting to look your size (if you need a standin lol)
@@JoshtheRVNerd and i love Idaho - one of my favorites... especially up around Coeur D' Alene
@@markdickey7807 Wow that is aggressive weight loss. Half-a-Pound per day is about the most you can lose in a healthy fashion. You must've really worked hard on that
We did a 100 day weight loss challenge here one. I think I dropped 61lbs though admittedly I dehydrated myself pretty hard for that final weigh in like a professional fighter or something lol :)
I was probably in the mid-50's for actual true weight. Kept the worst of it off for a while. About two years ago I started slowly re-collecting it. I've been slowly working on getting some excess pounds off for a while now and plan to resume some LIGHT treadmill work initially to accelerate the process
Love this floorplan! Re: leaving the bathroom door open in travel mode - I went back thru the video. The door when open all the way comes back to the counter near the stove. The slide only comes in as far as the the other counter by the sink. I think if there's a way to wedge the door open or bungee it to keep it from swinging it would work.
I just commented on this, before I read your comment, Holly. I'm thinking the same way and my hubby thinks it would work. Be great if someone who has the camper could weigh in. Using a wedge might work well. I was thinking magnets but that might be too complicated...🤔
It also looks like there's room for Flagstaff/Rockwood to shift the whole bathroom door to the left far enough so that it would then clear the slide when it's closed.
@@DCVIDE0S that would be an even better option!
We installed a hook to secure the bathroom door open on travel days so we can access the bathroom when the slide is in. It works great.
@@brendabittner9 thank you for that info, that's good to know that you can access the bathroom cuz I love this RV.
Love that swingarm for the griddle. We removed the outside stove for more storage on our 25brds. Is it possible to get this swing arm for the 2018 25brds??? Hmmm.
I don't see why not. Contact a rockwood or flagstaff location & they should be able ot get it thru a parts department
If you remove the carpet and add a true queen bed you would have a PERFECT couple’s camper👍
I know they are working on removing the carpeting from stuff
Late to comment. Just saw this post now. The control panel is perfect for us shorter than 5 ft.
Better late than never, right? :)
We just saw this at the Tampa RV show!
What did you think?
@@JoshtheRVNerd Fell in love with it. Trying to decide if this would be enough space or do we want something a bit bigger? The 2516S was our first love from Rockwood.
Love the fact that has no floor heater vents and the outside camp kitchen set up along with all thefeatures it has outside. That shower miser is a must I think and glad this comes with it and also already set up with solar panel and inverter. I starting to understand this stuff and how it works(more or less but quiz me on it) and the importance of the interior 12v fridge. Question is that interior fridge a frost free one? The only draw back for me is I would prefer a true queen bed and the controls are so low causes me two issues. If I have to bend down to see what I'm doing my back will just hurt all the more and also the angle may be more challenging to see since I only have vision in one eye. #2 this is even more important for me, I don't have little humans that will be possibly messing with the controls but my dogs and especially right by the door that stand up and jump and lean against things and I can see especially my bigger Pom that jumps against things and feels like he can push the door in can't arbitrarily hit a control and mess something up. Otherwise this is a serious contender for me. Thanks again for the very good tour.
I think the fridge is frost free. Many 12v’s are
I have never heard the term, "Propanus", used before for a rear propane hookup. Absolute genius. 🤣🤣🤣
It's a very specific installation in which the gas comes out the back-side _cough_
Enjoy :)
Lighter wood all the way!
I agree personally
Hate to sound like a broken record, but, king bed option and it's on our short list of 3-4 campers. We will be buying in the next 2-3 months and I love the weight and floor plan but we need the king bed.
The sunset trail ss212rb is probably your best bet
We have this camper. If your worried about no access to the bathroom that’s easily solved. You can open the slide 6 inches to get into the bathroom. The slide being open that little does not protrude out of your parking area or cause any burden to people going around. You can open the slide without being hooked up the shore power.
If you love everything else about this camper that’s a very minor issue to pass on this one.
Josh, can you suggest to Rockwood the single one thing I wish they did was put more outside kitchens in their other models!!!!
They try to put them where they can from what I have seen. Some layouts just don’t leave space for them
At least that griddle station is standard on them
Hey Josh, a review on the Rockwood 2614BS would be nice if you spot one. Thanks!!
It’s on the list. If I can get to a location with one I will get it done
I would like to hear your thoughts on the Outdoors RV models keep up the great content
Sturdy rigs for sure. I will be able to start covering them now as I visit other locations
Josh, about not getting to the bathroom while traveling. Could you open the door, somehow secure it, then put in the slide? You wouldn't need to open the slide all the way then to access the bathroom. It would likely depend on how well a person could secure the door to keep it from moving while on the road. Thoughts?
I think you could actually
What a great RV! Wonder if I can get one at Haylette RV in Cold Water Michigan?😎
Yep! The coldwater store Carrie’s Rockwood so we would call it a 2513S Rockwood
That closet slide is a game changer for this old familiar floorplan. My only concern is that the sink is in front of the TV. If someone in the seats complains that I’m blocking the TV, I guess the solution would be to hand them the sponge and tell them the view of the TV is unobstructed from the sink. ,
Once upon a time Coachman was known for their storage, I think Rockwood/Flagstaff is now the proud barrier of that flag.
They’re doing well In this one. He’s d design seems good at using space as well
I love this floorplan, not a fan of camp queens, but a residential queen should fit in there without losing anything. Rockwood does such a great job with the 25** series that they should be study for anyone else aiming for that size. I would like to see the carpet gone, otherwise these things are so well thought out they are hard to beat.
I'm of the belief any time a true queen fits, then they should put one in there. I know some factories (like salem/wildwood's stick and tins) just don't use true queens so I get that. But Rockwood does in some of their mini lites. So the decision was odd to me.
I probably already left a note but very nice.
Ty all the same!
