New 2026 Forest River Rockwood Roo 235S — Hanover, PA

The 2026 Rockwood Roo 235S is Forest River's compact camper on the Hybrid floor plan. This one is new and listed at $26,774. At 24 ft 10 in it is slightly longer than the category median (21 ft 10 in). Dry weight is 5,478 lb, well above the 3,774 lb median for the category.

Loaded with water, propane and gear it will sit nearer 6,450 lb, which puts it within reach of a half-ton pickup. Budget for 10–15% of that on the hitch, and check the payload sticker rather than the tow rating — payload runs out first on half-tons.

GVWR is 6,926 lb, leaving about 1,448 lb for water, propane, gear and passengers before you reach the limit. A single slide-out opens up the main living area when you are parked. Sleeping capacity is 5, which is on the compact side for the category.

That is a 38% reduction on the $43,440 MSRP — $16,666 off. It sits above the $12,239 category median, reflecting its size and specification.

Fitted equipment includes extra solar panel, slide topper and near nature pkg. It ships from Hanover, PA door-to-door to any of the 50 states, inspected before it leaves, at one transparent price with no dealer fees.
