Our First New Hampshire RV Trip

This article is about our first camp experience with our USA made 2022 Mini Lite Rockwood 2104s 22 ft trailer.

2022 Forest River Rockwood Mini Lite 2104 S in Wilmington, NC

It was July 26 when we drove my Toyota Tacoma with the Mini-Lite in tow, from Plaistow to Wolfeboro. The trailer hitch had stabilizer bars that worked very well and came with the trailer.

We did use the ECT power feature of the Tacoma, which was adequate for this trip. Speeds of 45 to 55 mph were the norm and achieved up to 15 mpg.  The stabilizer bars limit the turn/back up radius to a max of 45 degrees.

The jack like stabilizers on each corner are not really levelers but make the floor much more stable and not intended to lift. 

The RV AC unit worked like a champ as did the fridge and freezer. 

Electric and water hookup, Sewer hookup was easy too. 

The Mini-Lite comes with a outside mountable, 17 inch gas griddle and was used to cook breakfast each morning. It worked well but needed better leveling by me for cooking runny eggs. 

The rv queen murphy bed feature worked well to stow. The bed was firm to sleep on. When the bed is stowed, a sofa is created as the sofa back can lay flat or flip up. We did not use the inside gas stove.  

The shower unit worked very well. 

It rained 6 inched in our RV park overnight and it was very noisy on the roof but we stayed dry. The awning was deployed and handled the rain runoff well. 

Overall RV performance was excellent.

 

So far a big thumbs up.
