Join us today as we take a walk thru one of the production facilities that makes Rockwood and Flagstaff travel trailers and fifth wheels! We kick off this multi-part RV series with a look at the Rockwood Signature (or Flagstaff Classic Super Lite) plant as we go from raw chassis all the way up thru the final finished travel trailers and fifth wheels!
Along the way you'll get to see some interesting aspects of their production, see some "under the skin" things you cannot normally see once the RVs are produced, and even learn a little about their work force!

If I didn’t trust you as much as I do, I’d suspect that you are secretly a Rockwood salesman or significant shareholder, that’s how your factory tour comes across for me. I hope you can accept my comments as constructive input from a true fan who only wants the very best for his very lfavorite RV Nerd…!

@JeffInDFW 3 года назад

As someone who has been researching as a buyer, Josh's factory tour videos are a large part of how I will make my decision on what I buy. I want to know how its made. RVs have a well deserved reputation for questionable quality. Seeing first hand the extra effort by Rockwood/Flagstaff is invaluable. This video is a marketing gold mine for Forrest River/Rockwood. Josh, I am dying for your Mini Lite and Geo Pro tours!

@SGarza-ht7qp 3 года назад

Yes, we are too. We have a MiniLite on order that is now going to be a 2022!!!!! Our research on the 2104s was tons and tons of RU-vid watching and Josh was our main source, because of his honesty and thoroughness. We never have been in a 2104s because they are so popular and the local dealer could not get them in and then they decided to came Our order because they would not honor the price that we agreed on and put a deposit on after being bought out by an out of town RV dealer. We are getting one delivered to us whenever it gets built. Keep up the good work Josh. ROCKWOODS & FLAGSTAFF ROCK!!!

@JeffInDFW 3 года назад

@@SGarza-ht7qp Congrats on your new Mini Lite! I hate that you got screwed around by your dealer. That is the reason why we plan to order ours through Haylett even though we live in Dallas Texas. The years of positive reviews along with Josh explaining their policies towards customers sold us.

@wmschooley1234 3 года назад

Josh: I've always wondered, do RV fresh, gray and black tanks usually have internal baffles to minimize fluid moment of inertia from internal slosh as the trailer transits? Given the size of some of these tanks, if someone were to travel with full or almost full tanks, the aggragrate moving mass could be substantial even if the tanks are mounted low in relation to the RV's center of gravity. Respectfully, WS

@JoshtheRVNerd 3 года назад

They do not. Interesting thought, though!

@DavidHBurkart 3 года назад

This would work for fresh water, but the baffles would provide way too much surface area for waste to cling to for the gray and black tanks

@thomasstarr9642 2 года назад

I’m wondering how long it takes, on average, to get a Rockwood trailer built, from start to out the door. I just watched a video of a Jayco build. 11 hours. The workers were running around so fast it’s hard to imagine anything being built right.

@@JoshtheRVNerd Very interesting. Do they use Azdel? Winnabego facility next?

@JoshtheRVNerd 2 года назад

@@Bronco2Cj Rockwood has continued to expand their azdel use The Signature models now use it as well Currently only their "Ultralite" mid-level trim package doesn't use azdel which sounds weird but word is they're doing that only until they burn thru their existing supply of lauan. Then they'll be double azdel across all sidewalls Winnebago actually will not let anyone record in their facilities. I've tried for YEARS to get clearance to record in there

@@JoshtheRVNerd Good to know! thx for the heads up and its prolly safe to assume no ac off of the batts?

@MrSnotsucker1 Год назад

Pretty awesome information. The fact that Rockwood gave you that access says volumes about you and them!

Good to see others are starting to follow Jayco’s lead with GY Endurance tires.

@JoshtheRVNerd 3 года назад

Rockwood adopted them fairly quickly, but yeah. Jayco really broke the mold there

Excellent video. We love these plant tours. Okay, I do, the wife got a little nap. Before purchasing from Haylett we were looking at both Rockwood and Flagstaff. Since they are the same we developed the name Rockstaff to collectively refer to them. Previously we had a Montana the Rockstaff quality is as good or even better. Rockwood/Flagstaff. Thank you for making such a great product. And thank you for allowing Josh and Haylett in to film this tour. We hope to get an in person tour some day. Thank you.

@JoshtheRVNerd 3 года назад

Rockstaffs and Flagwoods are superior indeed *lol*

Rockwood builds great trailers and I thank them for allowing you to do this video to showcase all that they do to achieve their high quality. You did of fine job of getting that information out there too. Kudos to you, sir! In 2018 we were in the market to buy a TT and were researching different brands. The day in 2018 I toured Rockwood Plant #10 in the morning I was so impressed with everything I saw and all the people working there that I placed an order for a new Rockwood 2618VS Windjammer that same day and it has been a great camper!

@JoshtheRVNerd 3 года назад

Man I miss those windjammers. They were so fun! My understanding is they simply took longer to build, so they were "temporarily" phased out so rockwood could produce a higher volume of RVs overall Originally their plan was to reintroduce the WJ series once they had production time... but man.. I just don't see that happening like.. EVER at this point

@Chucky Cook Wow, TY for the confidence boost! Mind dropping us a quick review at www.haylettautoandrv.com/review-us/ in return for the effort?

Although a older video it came my radar today. Thanks Rockwood for allowing Josh into your facility. I have a new appreciation for quality for Rockwood as result. I am definitely interested in a future purchase of Rockwood.

I was told by an RV dealer who was swallowed up in consolidation that Rockwood was the best RV on the market and wished every one they sold was a Rockwood. After watching this video I can see why he was so impressed. Thanks Josh and Rockwood for showing the construction process as it sold me on why Rockwood will be my next purchase.

@JoshtheRVNerd 2 года назад

I will say this to anyone: I personally feel pound for pound if you average out all factors Rockwood is the best value overall on the market today

@fuyu3342 3 года назад

Awesome show. Josh I love your sense of humour, you don't take yourself too seriously. We picked up our first RV, a Rockwood A122s (triangular roof pop up) and we love it. If it wasn't for the fact we live in Nova Scotia we would definitely drop by and say Hi! Thanks Rockwood for letting Josh tour. As an older guy (55) I appreciate the 'Flipperator 8000' as I feel a comfortable worker is a more likely to take the time to put it together right. Blessings to you, Haylett RV and Rockwood!

@JoshtheRVNerd 3 года назад

Enjoy your Rockwood! I think a lot of people overlook those A-Frames until they get into them. Then they're like "wow.. there's more room here than I would've guessed" Sort of like the camper version of a VW Bug lol
