a-frame

After doing quite a bit of reading on forums and looking at specs for just about every portable generator 5kW and smaller, I pulled the trigger and ordered the Champion 2500W dual fuel generator. I figured it would be right on the edge for starting the 10kBTU CoolCat floor mounted a/c that...

When we picked up our brand new A-frame a couple of weeks ago, the dealer prep tech washed the outside and even cleaned the wheels and sprayed with tire polish. Aft of the wheels, the underside of the floor, the frame, and rear stabilizer jacks were caked with light brown mud. Somewhere post...

Has anyone upgraded their mattress in their A213HW? If so, what did you buy and could you post some pictures? I think the literature said with the insert installed it is a RV King size but when I measured it, it sure looks like a regular residential King mattress. We are thinking about...

I'm new to the Forrest River Forum and have a question on a 22FBS trailer frame. Our trailer is a new trailer we purchased earlier this year. The A-frame of the trailer tongue seems have about a 1/4 to 3/8 inch rise towards the hitch ball mount. Is this something that is normal and within...

I have a 2010 Forest River Rockwood A-Frame Hardside A112 I purchased used a year ago. I absolutely love it. Easy to pull and till now, easy to set up. I am starting to have issues with raising it. It took 4 people last time. When we went to lower it, it took everything to get out of the way...

Ferocious windstorm in ND today with gusts up to 50mph. When I know high winds are coming, I generally don't use the stabilizers. My reasoning is that when the chassis is free to sway from side to side, like a willow tree, the chances are less of the wind blowing the inside wall latches off...

Hi, I'm new to the forum and sort of new to campers (own a 2020 Rockwood A122s). Unfortunately my camper suffered MASSIVE wind damage that completely tore off the front roof panel (destroyed) and heavily creased and damaged the rear roof panel and side walls. Anyways if anyone in the forum...

Hi. I'm a 70 y old 5'3 lady who has considerable difficulty lifting the A-frame roof. This did not pose a problem until recently, when my husband dislocated his shoulder along with a fracture. I came across this great YouTube video which provides an easy method that is inexpensive to build...

For anyone who needs to replace their exterior rear roof panel foam strip, I just purchased it and thought this info might be useful: Following FR website instructions, I first contacted a dealer that sells parts online (Roberts Sales of Denver - others give good reviews in this forum). They...

I have been looking for a new either Flagstaff T21TBHW or Rockwood A213HW A-frame popup trailer and can't find any. Forest River said demand is outpacing supply. I'd like to see one in person before buying one but doesn't seem to be possible. Anyone out there that has one or has looked at one...

Good morning all, I just joined the forum and am introducing myself. I bought a Rockwood A-Frame a bit more than a year ago. When the actuator failed, I found myself here looking for others' experience so I could proceed in a rational manner. What I found was a decent community so I elected to...

Going to assume the attachment shows up, since I can't see it on this very awkward site. Lightweight hammock tarp with some Coleman poles and heavier lines than came with the tarp. Velcro to stick it to the top of the camper wall. This has held up in very aggressive winds. All for about $100.

I have a Rockwood 122S popup A-frame trailer and would like to make a couple modification to allow for phone and computer use when boondocking. I'd appreciate any input or suggestions? We don't have any plans to use any appliances or TV and have never been to a campground with hookups. Here's...

Hi everyone. We recently bought our used '17 Rockwood Premier A122S A- frame and have been out every weekend since! Still have several questions about how things work. If anyone has this camper I'd love to connect!

I think I am going to go with a new 214HW and get the full size shower. What options do you guys like on your HW A-frames? I do not think I will be doing much winter camping, but spring and fall camping out here is below freezing at night. I also want to be able to haul 1-2 bikes. Here is...

Hey guys, I am probably going to get a a122s or a214hw(or flagstaff equivalent) and had a few basic questions I am trying to get help with. I have been to most of the national parks, but I usually stay in tents and have no experience with travel trailers. Any help is appreciated 1. Can you...

We got tired of the stock dinette table legs. In the lowered position, the folded legs took up almost all the space under the table. Setting up the table often resulted in pinched fingers and a search for a mallet to get the legs latched - the same was true when we put the table down in the...

Late last year I posted about freezing our a-frame. Unfortunately the system says I can't reply to that post but I wanted to follow up. You can search for it. Bottom line, an early cold snap in Montana froze our a-frame. Lucky I had drained it but it wasn't fully winterized. So the final...

My 2 year old Rockwood Highwall sink faucet has worked flawlessly until this last trip. Now the water only comes out when in the hot position, not cold. I was hooked up to city water and the fresh water tank was empty.

Whenever it rains water runs along the side wall of my dormer on my A-213 Rockwood A Frame.It ends up dripping at the ledge on the front wall.Anyone experience this problem ?

I have to put a piece of tape over my furnance outside vents.Every time it rains water pours in thru these holes.Anyone else have this problem?

I know there's another recent solar thread, but this is more specific. Can anyone post photos of your method/hardware to mount solar panels on the front roof of your A-frame? I am going to do one or possibly two (if they'll fit) 100W panels this year. I have seen Slim Potatohead's install on...

Just wanted to post this as information to others. There is lots of information out there saying NO to weight distribution hitches on c-channel tent/pop up trailer frames. Well, I did it and here is my experience, which has been proven over 7000+ KMs of towing. The trailer is a Palomino...
