OMG Josh, I think that sofa is genius!!! When our grown son camps with us he likes to sleep until noon. I want to sit in my recliner and my wife likes to sit on the couch. How convenient would it be to slide his lazy butt over to the side and we can continue to live in the living room and watch the NASCAR qualifying and practice on Saturday morning??? So cool!!! Also I love the table that gives you the choice of a booth and table. That's the ticket!!! The only thing that would make that table better is to allow it to turn to the side and have two chairs facing outside. I know other manufacturers have that option but I would suggest that Rockstaff start doing that. Anyway, I love this living room and think it comes from a great manufacturer. Thanks, Pat
Another perfect RockStaff couple’s floorplan with theater seating, a sofa, a fireplace, a residential table and chairs “option”, a porcelain toilet, shower door, Maxxair vent fan, king bed, a ladder, solar, slam latch doors, Goodyear tires etc👍👍👍
One headed sewer monster, all rack and pinion slides, good length, in a weight that doesn’t require a dually. Home run as long as you’re not dead set on travel access. You’re able to access the bathroom and that’s what most are looking for anyway. I really love this model. It’s going on my top 10 list. Thanks Nerd.
This would be in my top 5 in floor plans, and this company does it so well. Side stands by the sofa for me to put my coffee and my phone on. Good storage above the sofa. I’m not a huge fan of the colour scheme but it’s not a deal breaker, I have about 1,000,000 throws (and bought another one today! I was set free to shop with my friend, and we’re dangerous together 😂, we both think we’re part of the Rockefeller family!) I love the ottoman style table and chairs. And the kitchen has the perfect placement of appliances for me. The tv on a swivel gives great coverage if you’re busy in the kitchen area, or laying on the sofa. The toe stubber is less of an issue for me than carpet or vents in the floor. I like cabinets that reach to the ceiling but can understand sometimes it’s impossible to get them flush if there’s any curves involved in the ceiling. I do consider them dust traps. I prefer this tv situation to an elevator and there’s a good pantry. I’m glad there’s a medicine cabinet behind the mirror in the bathroom. I like the size of the shower and the good linen storage. Great bathroom. I like the bedroom, some great storage and cubbies, they may not have side stands, but they’ve got decent windowsill side stands. CPAP machines aren’t suited to the bedside in this camper. I like that the slide system is the same in each slide. I don’t really like it when there’s a mix of slide types. I just feel mistakes are more likely to be made. Not good road mode, but that’s not a deal breaker for me. #rvnerdherd #nerdherd #Rockwood #JoshIsWaterproof.
Love ever thing about it. Maybe have cabinets go all tge way up. I actually love the divided couch. If you have one person staying like a grandchild the split couch is awesome plus you can pull both recliners out. If I had a one ton, I'd pick this rig. Quality for quality can't beat rockstaff.
The sofa gives plenty of options if you only need sleeping space for one person. Like you said, you'll still be able to open the recliner. The other option is not having the sofa on top of the space heater while sleeping. Nothing wrong with having options. 😊
Don't sell yourself short, Uncle Josh! You are the sharpest spoon in the drawer and grapefruit fear you. There's a lot to like with this one for sure, but yeah, the rode moad access isn't its strongest point. Thanks for the tour!
Love Love Love this one. Still want a small dishwasher added to the island. And do not ever use a microwave. Would like an over the stove exhaust fan to the outside, and up higher. Maybe an open shelf above for a few sheet pans, bread pans. My canner needs head clearance.
Rockwood has so many nice things that really would make sense. But it’s incredible how much pressure manufacturers have to get costs down so adding extra appliances can be difficult sometimes.
Another excellent presentation, sir. My wife and I enjoy the hell out of your Nerdisms. I would love to submit to you the notion of a new one: Grease spatter = “bacon kisses” I didn’t come up with it, but I think you should add it to your lexicon. And I go by “Timmo” if you adopt and care to give me a shout out in the future. 😂 Can’t wait to run into you and buy you a beer one day. Cheers. .-=T=-.
Like it. Love the huge living space. The door side windows are great. The kitchen is good. Love all the storage. Love the Xl vet fan in the bathroom. The bedroom is great. The new outside look is better than last year. Thanks
I appreciate your commentary about Rockwood and your belief in them. Really like the layout and decor. My only significant negative is that they don’t have a one piece fiberglass shower. What they have conveys a lesser degree of quality that doesn’t seem to match what they’ve got going in the rest of the rig. That shower would be a deal breaker for me.
1) Nice unit. 2) I’m guessing the split couch is in case someone wishes to lay on the couch and do computer work instead of sitting or lounging. 3) Correct, you don’t want to place your CPAP machine above your head in case you pull it off the shelf and bonk your head tossing and turning during the night on the uncomfortable death wafer RV mattress. You either want your machine placed on the nightstand next to you or on the floor for safety. 4)Why do you have to make the RV longer if you want side stands? Can’t you just use a narrower bed? 5) Speaking of bed; can you post ALL of the different measurements for all types of mattresses that are made? From twin to King, double to RV and Olympic sizes? That might be a handy piece of info to have when shopping for sheets or RV’s and home. Thank you. 6) Nice slide tip. If you haven’t already done so, make a RV 101 video on things to do. If one has been (Bish’s or Haylett days) please repost. 7) Why don’t all manufacturers place stabilizers under the bedroom to help reducing the movement from aggressive laundry folding? Doing so, wouldn’t this make an RV more stable? 8) Aren’t there Canadian RV manufacturers that make true 4 season camping for up in the tundra? 9) Generators are a good idea. 10) Can’t have enough storage. 11) Thanks for the educational tour Professor Nerd 🧑🏫 🤓
Hey Josh, I absolutely love this RV. Lol if only I can afford it. Anyway, so one of the first things that I noticed was the bench on the kitchen table. I like the idea of chairs to be honest with you being around the kitchen table. The benches I never was crazy about. I know they have storage underneath them, but I think chairs would be a lot more elegant. And on the theater chairs what is the scoop with these guys constantly putting in these electronics hook up on the inside of the seat. That doesn’t make any sense. As soon as you sit down, you’re either gonna break it or slice your leg open. Lol. I do love the theater seats. But I can do without the electronics sticking into my thigh. As for the kitchen slide out it really doesn’t bother me, whether their floor flush or whether they a toe kicker. I can work around both. For the kitchen, I would honestly have a flip down backer that could flip down over the window to protect the window and rear surfaces from splatters of grease , etc., while you’re cooking. And then it could be flipped back up to run flush underneath the microwave. So out of sight out of mind when you need it, just flip it down. The pop-up chargers around the stove, I think are a little bit too close. Again, if you have splatters, etc., you’re gonna end up either melting those or gunking them up. I would prefer maybe a plug on the side wall closer to the refrigerator and then on the other side extend that one another foot closer to the TV. As for the little bitty desk thing that doesn’t have a light. It needs to have a light lol. Makes no sense if you have a beautiful RV, but a bunch of dark spaces with no lights in it. Just makes sense Absolutely love the bathroom. Plenty of space for anything you wanna do. In the bedroom those open spaces above the bed I think a perfect for CPAP. I’ve had a CPAP that is above my head many times and I’ve never had any problem with the water draining and trying to drown me 😂. And the aluminum framing under the bed is definitely a plus. I love to see aluminum. On the outside, I’m loving the new nose cap. Really nice. And I don’t mind the more drab paint job on the outside. Still looks really good. interestingly, enough on the outside griddle they still don’t have a cover over that thing so if it’s drizzly or rainy there’s no way you’re gonna be able to do any cooking outside while trying to stay dry lol. Anyway that’s my take on this. Lol still wish I could afford it. Keep Rockin
I love the tal upper deck. Being 6'4" is not always fun in an RV..... Big fail on road mode IMHO with the fridge access, 3" shift in island location could have resolved that. I do like how their W/D prep actually includes the dryer vent already, I don't see that very often.
You are correct about the CPAP. It is not a good thing to have it above your head, for exactly the reason you mentioned. It's known as rain out, I believe.
The only 3 misses in my opinion; toe stubber slide, shower & dining table. Toe stubber slides should no longer exist on any 5th wheel. The shower needs to be 1 piece fiberglass with squeegee shower door, not glass. The table needs to be attached to sidewall and able to rotate. I am VERY happy about the upper deck height and basically everything else! Rockwood/Flagstaff are soo good at what they do! I'm extremely happy they have also chosen to stay with tank water heaters.. you can keep those tankless pieces of junk. I also would like access to the fridge in travel.
Let me ask you.. assuming you we’re in the market for something like this, then would those concerns be enough to stop the sale for you, or is it good enough overall you would still consider this one for a purchase?
@@JoshtheRVNerd The toe stubber slide in any fifth wheel would immediately stop the sale for me. That one bad alone outweighs all the good in my opinion.
Good video, nothing against the rv it's nice. But this shows one of the reasons I don't like slides. The moisture left on them when closed. That moisture has to be hard on a RV.
@9:34 - The space between the top of the cooktop and the bottom of the microwave seems really short - or maybe it's a trick of the camera. But it seems like there's very little room for the cook to actually lean over the cooktop to monitor the food. Maybe it's not what it seems.
It’s definitely something you’d want to check out in person. I don’t use a wide angle lens, but even then the best way I can describe it as sometimes the camera still lies.
As a seasoned 5th wheel guy, this travel mode doesn’t bother me. If you put the landing gear down, you’re gonna be good open the slides. If you want to go, you’ll get it done.
I just re-read my post! I think I was sitting around the campfire by myself after everyone else already went to bed! There may have been some Coors light logic in there😂. I just cleaned it up to ACTUALLY make sense.
@7:57 - As someone who is always thinking about the kitchen, the TV placement is pretty bad. If the TV can be extended out past the front of the counter, I might be able to deal with it. But as I see it now, some serious counterspace is being sacrificed. Don't love it.
Oh, the little gap between the two cushions? Yeah that’s a little weird. I have spent a weekend on a high bed in an RV though. It never really was much of a problem for us.
I really like this, however they really need a place to put a cpap next to the bed, not above the bed. I wonder if there is enough space to put a cpap on the floor next to the bed.
I was worried about my mental health, but thanks to Josh, I feel that I can now stamp myself mentally sane!!! 😂😂😂 thanks Josh for another great review... although a rendition of Singing In The Rain would have been a great chef's kiss moment!!!
did i spy a dryer vent from the factory? that's my main reason not putting a W/D in our RV is I don't want to cut into the sidewall. if they did this from the factory that is so cool!!
So just because I’m curious, have you ever heard of someone pulling the break away pin out to lock the brakes for added stabilization? I don’t know what made me think of this but it crossed my mind one day and made me wonder if it’s a bad idea.
Mr Nerd. I don't know if that is normal for a slide. I have had a few motorhomes and a trailers but I have never had a slide out. When you closed the living room slide. The upper part of the slide closed first, then the lower half kind of tucked itself in. Is that normal? Or should it close flush and not cock eye'd? Forgive me for asking a dumb question. I have been watching you for about 2 years now and have never noticed that. Thank you for your reply. Btw my wife and I watch you on the regular. Your knowledge and honesty is refreshing 😊
Depends on the slide type. Floor flush slides aren't purely "rectangular" if you look at them from the side because of how the slide has to ramp up/down when opening and closing Great question actually. Keep asking them. don't feel dumb. _This is how we learn_
Nice job overall but poor for BiPap users. You do not want the unit above your head. Also, I am not a fan of the spare tire location. It need to be closer to either the front or rear.
As a Flagstaff owner I absolutely hate what they've done to the looks of the new Flagstaffs/Rockwoods. Putting the name Forrest River on them does them no favors and the new nose cone is atrocious. The black wheels look like a house trailer. Our current Flagstaff will be our last.
@JoshtheRVNerd I kind of figured. It's like they're trying to kill off the identity of all of their brands. I always figured the one thing that helped them is people didn't know they were affiliated with Forrest River seeing as though FR doesn't exactly have the best reputation.
I completely understand- but enough already- let’s see some creativity- I’m on the fence for my next rig / and the more I see the same floorplan- the more I don’t care - let’s see what Brinkley does with the I series

First time seeing the split hide a bed, kinda like it.
We have this floor plan in the Signature 8337RL travel trailer. This 5th wheel version only weighs 1,000# more than our 8337RL. Nice work Rockwood !!!
Yeah it's built tough!

I wish rookwood/flahstaff would get more recognition. They are a great brand
They are monsters in the trailer market but people seem to forget they make fifth wheels
I'd really like to see a review of the 375rl, it would be interesting to hear your take on that floorplan.
I love the ❤ WoodStaff products, just look great, well built, and they do so many things right! Jimmy Buffet did good! 👍🏽
I like the look of the interior too. Love the cabinetry!
0:30 I hope united rental compensated you generously for that product placement 😂😂

it helps but man.. i've seen tweaked those things

i'll see if I can get ahold of one this season
Ouch! Try not to smash your thumbs Josh.
I have a bad habit of that
I won't buy another Rockstaff until they fix their bad plumbing! Everything else is great, but I hate being a plumber while I'm camping.
(Drawers to the floor) - think I will try that with the wife. TX nerd herd
lol
Nice.
Can’t they offset the island 4” to the rear ?
may not be impossible actually
@ you’d think it wouldn’t be designed to block the refrigerator.
Love the fifth wheel but the tv is too far back build a cabinet have the tv flush with the fireplace and make more storage behind the tv
Question, how does one reach cabinets over couch without having to stand on couch?
Unless you’re tall like me you kinda have to
Forest River is my all-time favorite manufacturer.
How is that even possible? Seriously with so many better brands.
@@handlealreadytaken I find their floorplans and fit and finish at the various price points to be the best value for money.
Forest river is reliable. They make quality units for reasonable prices and don’t fill it with price tag increasing shiny new toys.
Can you review the Pause RV’s?
I'm not sure we have them among our lineup so I may not have the opportunity
Mr Nerd. I don't know if that is normal for a slide. I have had a few motorhomes and a trailers but I have never had a slide out.
When you closed the living room slide. The upper part of the slide closed first, then the lower half kind of tucked itself in. Is that normal? Or should it close flush and not cock eye'd? Forgive me for asking a dumb question. I have been watching you for about 2 years now and have never noticed that.

Thank you. that helps. I'm not well educated on the different "pap" systems

Congratulations 😂
Whoope-de-doo!

As a Flagstaff owner I absolutely hate what they've done to the looks of the new Flagstaffs/Rockwoods. Putting the name Forrest River on them does them no favors and the new nose cone is atrocious. The black wheels look like a house trailer. Our current Flagstaff will be our last.
That was a FR edict. Rockstaff wasn’t happy about it either
@JoshtheRVNerd I kind of figured. It's like they're trying to kill off the identity of all of their brands. I always figured the one thing that helped them is people didn't know they were affiliated with Forrest River seeing as though FR doesn't exactly have the best reputation.
Very nice Rig and Rockwood quality- but just the same old boring floorplan -my God - It’s the Department of Redundancy Department
it's the most popular couple's layout in fifth wheels so everyone builds it
It makes for a good "brand comparison" layout though
I completely understand- but enough already- let’s see some creativity- I’m on the fence for my next rig / and the more I see the same floorplan- the more I don’t care - let’s see what Brinkley does with the I series
Even for free i would NEVER own a Flagstaff again, soooooooo cheap built !!!
What do you have currently?
Flagstaff 8320 KBS and Newmar Dutch Star 3893
@ I’ve always liked the looks of Rock/Staff but we currently have a KZ product and it’s been the best. Going on 5 years with it.
