- Tina & I tour the 2025 Rockwood Ultra Lite 2618RD; it's a New Floor Plan for the Rockwood Ultra Lite family. We absolutely love the rear dinette with all the windows, separation of bedroom space, and plenty of storage. Is this going to be our new RV?

I love that they put a latch for the door in case of big winds. So smart!
A nice little added touch in all Rockwoods!! 😀 Thanks for watching guys!!!
Great floorplan!
Agree, This may be our next!
Appreciate you watching!
You didn't mention this in the video, but the spare tire is up under the front of the trailer. You can just see it when you demo the dump valves. I love this! Frees up the rear of the trailer, no interference hitch mounted accessories.
9:57 Just watched the video again and realized that a bumper mounted spare would block the rear storage access.
We experienced numerous interruptions while filming this video, with multiple starts and stops. I mentioned it in one clip that I'm sure ended up on the cutting room floor. Appreciate you watching!
Correct, with the interference of the door, You brought up a good point, I'm going to need to figure out a better location for the Honey Wagon we currently have on the back of Belle. Maybe mount it underneath as well. Appreciate you watching!
Superb thank you 😮
You are welcome, Thanks for watching!
I love this flloor plan ,and I'm glad they added the auto leveling option to the ultra light. Great review guys, thank you
Glad you liked the tour, Appreciate you watching and commenting.
Thanks for the great review. This could very well be our next RV! Really like all the outside storage areas. Unfortunately, since it's a brand new model, no dealers in my area have one to look at yet.
Glad it was helpful! We agree, this unit might be our next as well. Stay tuned 😃 Thanks for watching..
It's definitely our next rv. Love it
Good choice! Ours too 😃 Thanks for watching & commenting..
Nice review and nice camper. Great inside and outside storage. Access to the bathroom in travel mode is a good advantage.I sent to local dealer to see if they can get their hands on this camper.
Thanks so much for watching! Storage is awesome. We love this RV........maybe our next one?????!!! You too??? Happy shopping and safe travels!
I finding that Chevy recommends a 2500 for more frequent use versus GMC dealer recommendations a 1500 so confusing. What’s your choice?
@@alamato5991 I'm happy I have our GMC 2500. We tend to carry more stuff in our truck that eats up payload.
Good morning any idea other manufacturers that make a similar floor plan? Each manufacturer makes it a bit different. This camper is really close.
Thank you
If you two aren't ambassadors for rockstaff you need to be. Great job
Thank you for watching and commenting!! And yes... we are Rockstaff Ambassadors! 😀😉
I talked to a rep today at an RV show. I suggested that they put some hinges on the underside of the counter behind the U dinette so it will open and use for storage. He put a note in his phone and said that was a good idea. He's going to take it back to the team. Hopefully they can do that.
@@Kingskruisin That’s great!
No fireplace is a deal breaker for me ..I use ours to heat the camper and run it on those cool mornings. I almost never have used the furnace. Otherwise, it's great!
We use our fireplace often when camping. On our last trip, I had the furnace on because the temps dipped into the 40's. I like how the furnace warms everything inside the RV evenly. Appreciate you watching & commenting.
Good seeing you two at the FROG rally. This is the first Ultra Lite that we would consider rather than our 2608BS. It would be hard to pick. I do like having 90 grey on 2608BS and the large bedroom. I am glad we decided to go with the Ultra Lite vs mini. A few extras and more room but still under 30 feet. For us, perfect size.
Nice seeing you as well, we really like the rear dinette with all the windows in this unit. This might be our next RV. Thanks for watching & Commenting
Do you know/remember how deep the shelves were in the pantry unit?
Thanks much. Y'all Be Safe!
In this prototype it was very narrow, maybe one can of soup deep, and there were several complaints. However, we just toured the production unit and it is much deeper. I was really pleased with the depth, but unfortunately did not take a measurement, but it was at least double the depth. Thanks for watching and commenting! Safe travels. 😃
I really like this unit, but there is one deal breaker for me. There is no cross ventilation in the bedroom. We book dock a lot and must have that cross breeze. This is an issue with several Rockwoods. We currently have a 2205 and love it, but always looking.
@@davidwilkins2980 good point about cross ventilation. We were just talking about that, we would probably open the window on the one side and turn on the bathroom MaxAir Vent fan. Appreciate you watching & commenting. Also, We like our 2205 as well, but this unit might be our next..
@@TNTRVing the small Rockwood 5th wheel 281rk is nice. Good ventilation in bedroom, bedroom slide is rack and pinion. Big downside is that the cargo capacity is about 1600#. I am not sure if a 5th wheel though.
@@TNTRVing good luck always a hard decision.
@@davidwilkins2980 we prefer travel trailer..Thanks
I would think if you open the bedroom window and turned the bathroom fan and the livingtoom fan with windows open it'd create a great breeze
Question. Does the shelf behind the U dinette open? If not, has Rockwood considered that?
The shelf behind the dinette does not open. Not sure if they considered doing that. We might have to suggest it. Thanks for watching & commenting
I want a fireplace I won’t have one without
@@howardmartin2739 Stay tuned, as they may make some modifications to this floor plan and put one in…
@TNTRVing if they put a fireplace in or change anything will you do another review please?
@@Kingskruisin Absolutely! We hope they take our advice and feedback from the rally and put one in! 😀
+1 for a fireplace. Had one in my last 5th wheel and used it all the time.
Can you explain the plumbing improvements? I have read that some companies have leaks by not using the proper fittings with pex tubing.
Rockwoood is now using waterlines & fittings on the pressure side of the water system that are designed to hold an increased amount of water pressure. The non pressure side, example: Black tank flush, antifreeze inlet. Still have flex tubing with PEX clamps.
@@TNTRVing thank you for the prompt response and your content!
@@carlroth2405 you are welcome! Thanks for watching us!
No place for trash cans in kitchen or bathroom is a deal breaker for me.
We are thinking that the best place for our small trash can is in front of the dinette across from door. Thanks for watching!
