2017 FOREST RIVER ROCKWOOD A122
Description
Hard-side A-frame pop-up | No canvas | ~17′ 1″ closed | Sleeps 3–4 | Garage-friendly height
Travel-trailer walls. Pop-up weight and storage.
This 2018 Forest River Rockwood Hard Side A122 is the small hard-wall folding camper people look for when they are done with canvas. It tows light, sets up fast, and folds down to about 5′ 1″ so it can live in a garage instead of baking in an Arizona driveway.
Why the A122 is different
Canvas pop-ups flap, leak, and wear out. The Rockwood Hard Side A122 uses a vacuum-bonded fiberglass exterior and a lifting hard roof, so you get:
No canvas to mildew or replace
Better insulation than a tent trailer
Faster setup (gas-strut roof assist)
A solid, lockable shell when closed
Still only about 2,014 lbs dry with a 222 lb hitch weight
That combination is why shoppers search for a used Rockwood hard side pop-up, A-frame camper for sale, and no-canvas folding camper.
Layout
Rear 54″ x 80″ flip-up bed with quilted memory-foam mattress and storage underneath (Cool Cat heat pump typically lives here)
Front 45″ x 80″ booth dinette that converts for a third sleeper
Compact galley: 3-burner cooktop, microwave, compact 3-way refrigerator, and sink
EZ Reach front storage trunk plus additional exterior compartments
Outdoor gas grill with work surface so cooking stays outside
This is a couples or small-family weekender, not a full-bath travel trailer. Most A122s use a porta-potty or cassette toilet and an outside shower rather than an onboard black tank.

Who this camper fits
Buyers who want a hard side pop-up camper they can garage
SUVs, minivans, and half-tons that should not pull a 5,000 lb trailer
Campers who want a real bed and a kitchen without a 22-foot travel trailer
Anyone comparing Aliner / A-frame campers, Rockwood A122, and lightweight folding trailers
If you need bunks, a dormer, or the longer A122S / A122BH floorplans, this base A122 is the shortest and lightest of that family.
Ask for current photos, option list, and a walk-through. Easy to inspect, easy to store, easy to tow.Specifications
