1986 Rockwood XL. I purchased this camper last December. It was in pretty bad condition besides the canvas. I spent this past winter rebuilding the roof from scratch, along with the rear end of the camper due to rot. We just used it to camp at Hocking Hills last weekend, and made it through a heavy rainstorm without a drop of water in the camper. The good: Weighs 1600lbs and tows fantastic behind anything with a V6. Gives our Minivan no issues at all.All new electrical:dual breaker box2 20 amp breakersa water proof outside outlet2 amp DC converter (repurposed from an old External PC harddrive)All new LED lighting inside and outside. Dual interior lights, and yellow outside light (to keep bugs away)All new trailer brake lights and marker lightsAll new trailer wiring harness (uses 4 prong plug for tow vehicle)Rebuilt roofThe only thing left from the old roof is the metal brackets and the fiberglass skin. Any holes in the fiberglass were patched with Bondo Fiberglass repairAll new 2x4 and 1/2" Plywood roof constructionPainted with white elastomer roof paintRebuilt rear of camperReplaced rot in floor under both dinette seats with pressure treated 1/2" Plywood.Replaced rear fiberglass with a sheet of aluminum. The fiberglass was beyond repair.Reinforced rear wall with additional 2x4 construction. I'm 300lbs and sleep on the back bed with no worries.Brand New Kenda tires and Load Star rims, rated for 2000lbs. Also comes with a spare of the same.Axle has been flipped under the spring, to raise the height of the camper in order to fit larger tires. The old tires were only 8" and rated for 55mph. The new tires are 12" and I've towed it at 75mph with no issues at all.New Timken Bearings and Timken Bearing grease in wheel hubs.Greased lift system with lithium grease (same thing you'd use for a motorcycle chain)Tons of storage under the seats and countertop120 volt mini fridge comes with the camper. It has a tiny little freezer compartment as well.120 volt GoldStar brand window unit AC comes with the camper. The previous owner cut the canvas and installed a zipper to put the AC in its place. I made a bracket so that it will sit level that bolts to the door frame. The AC will keep the camper COLD.New roof vent installed. You have no idea how hard it was to find one of these, they don't make this size anymore. I happened to find a new old stock auction on ebay for it.Camper comes with 2 scissor jacks (procured from a junk yard) to level the front end. There are extendable spring loaded sand jacks installed on the back bumper.Spare tire holder welded to front of the camper. (not pictured below, I removed the spare tire since the camper is sitting in my drive way, I didn't want the tire to go missing)Propane tank holder on front of camper - however there are no propane appliances. I will include an awning I made (pictured below) out of a tarp with a wire stitched into it so you can slide it into the awning holder on the roof. Will also include PVC poles.New smoke detector installed in interior ceiling.All windows besides front bed side drivers side are in good shape.I put about 100 hours of my time this winter into rebuilding this thing.The Bad:Canvas has some patches. All patches have been applied with Duck Canvas from the fabric store and waterproof canvas/leather glue.Front drivers side window is stitched shut due to zipper being broken. Previous owner did this.I can't remove the bumper stickers without it taking some paint with it. I will include whats left of the white paint so you can fix any issues.I do not have the table for the dinette. You can make or buy one.The previous owner removed the interior stove, the water tank, and the 3 way fridge. I do not know why. There is no sink, stove, water, etc. The fridge included is 120 volt only. I fiber glassed over the water hookups on the exterior. Why am I selling it if I spent all winter on the rebuild?We got a killer deal on a larger camper that I couldn't pass up, and with our growing family we'll need the space.My loss is your gain. If you have ANY questions, feel free to ask. Here is a link to a thread on a web forum where I detailed my progress with the rebuild over the winter Here it is setup at East Fork State Park Camp Ground It tows fantastic behind our Honda Odyssey. I tried to take pictures from as many angles and setups as possible.
