Tent Trailers: Pop-up Camping: We're Back and We Love our Rockwood

» Bill_n_Laura - We're Back and We Love our Rockwood

What a summer :-) We haven’t had the chance to keep up with the posting here for some time, but we’re back and ready to post some more.

I’ve noticed a few questions concerning Rockwood Pop-Ups and would like to throw in my two cents worth. In the immortal words of Tony the Tiger… “They’re Greeaat!!” We bought our 1999 Rockwood Freedom model 1620 in March of 2000 (see post 583) and have been doing our best to run the wheels off of it. We have camped in wind, rain, cold and heat and it has performed superbly through everything. It is towed behind a ’96 Dodge Caravan SE with no problems what so ever (it does cause the gas mileage to drop a bit).

One thing I have noticed is that pop-up owners are loyal to the brand of camper they own and will fight to the death to defend it (well, maybe to a bruise or two), so I’m not wanting to ruffle any feathers, but…… when comparing prices and features, we’re convinced that the Rockwoods are the best “camp for the buck” out there.

One other thing…. Tom, what kind of solar cells are you using to recharge your batteries, where’d you get ‘em and about what do they cost??? In the 8 excursions we’ve made out on this summer, we’ve always camped with hookups (I’m a wimp and want my a/c) but now fall is here and it’d be nice to check out some “out of the way” areas, so we’re looking at dry camping a couple of time in the next few months and the solar panels sound like a good idea.

Clear Skys and Happy Camping Y'all
