Anyone have a Rockwood A122 pop up camper?

According to the website the length is 18' 10"

Thats darn convenient as I can fit this in my garage if so. Dumb question though...does that include the length of the hitch up front or is it just the length of the camper body?

 

I dont have that camper, but if I'm correct the box on that one is 12' with a total exterior dimensions of around 18'.

 

The problem is that even the "overall lengths" are not always accurate, nor useful. Sometimes they don't include the rear bumper, and if they do, not the spare tire.

Best thing you can do is take a tape measure with you when you go look at one.

Give yourself a foot or 2 on all sides, too, for clearance. If you measure it out and it'll clear with inches, I wouldn't do it.

While storing in a garage is nice and safe, also think about if you have access to the fridge etc... while it's collapsed. If not, you're going to have to pull the thing into the driveway just to pack your stuff for a trip.

Wife and I had a Rockwood tent trailer for several years, and in order to pack the fridge, you had to pop the thing up, and pull out at least one bed (both beds if you wanted to pack the storage bins with clothes/towels, etc...) because the fold down countertop blocked the fridge access. My friend had one that the fridge was right by the main door, and you could just squeeze in the door with it completely collapsed and still load the fridge.

We've both since upgraded to hard sides, now. Definitely doesn't fit in the garage, lol
