2025 Rockwood Mini Lite 2506FK Prototype Tour

[@maromeo1958]

Thank you so much for your reviews and videos. Just newly subscribed. Love seeing the storage ideas and products you use. We purchased 2024 Mini Lite 2515S in June. I guess you can say we are frog now 😂.

I love this RV without the rear door.

[@TNTRVing]

My guess is this Prototype will be available for sale at Wanna RV in Indiana. We do like the bedroom entry door, safety in the event you need to exit quickly.. appreciate you watching & commenting..😊

We looked at the old version of the 2506. Not being able to access the bathroom and the bedroom with the slid in was a deal breaker. Plus the old bathroom layout was cramped around the toilet. With a door in the bedroom, that would solve our dislike. Rockwood did a great job on the redesign.

[@TNTRVing]

We agree! Thank you for watching and commenting! Safe travels! 😃

Thanks so much for this video! Very helpful! I have had my eye on this model since the 2025 floorplans came out! I like how the prototype is lacking the bedroom door, I would definitely buy it that way. Especially since this trailer is outfitted with a rack and pinion slide which I can just put out slightly if I need restroom access while traveling. I also love the layout of the front kitchen and having an outdoor fridge. I can’t wait to see one with theater seats to see how it affects the driver side storage.

[@TNTRVing]

Thanks for watching and commenting . The rear access door is a sure thing once they start production. Good question about the storage if you get the theater seating. You would lose all the outside storage (under the dinette) and the drawers space in the dinette. Safe travels!

Rockwood should follow Lance travel trailers lead by switching out the front automotive glass with Acrylic instead. Acrylic is more resistant to impact than glass. 17 times stronger. Is half the weight of glass, has better thermal conductivity than glass, more UV protection, cheaper to ship and easier to use in large frames.

[@TNTRVing]

Thanks for watching and commenting! We will share your comments with Rockwood. Safe travels!

[@allanking6848]

It would be nice if they would let you take it out for a couple trips, maybe one at a campground with full hookup, and one boondocking with less amenities to see how shakes out. Thanks for another informative video.

[@TNTRVing]

Thanks for watching and commenting! Love that idea, but logistically it would not be feasible. Safe travels!

[@Creellimitis5]

Another great video!!! We had a 2608 BS. It too had a front kitchen. Front kitchens add more tongue weight. Keep that in mind with regard to your tow vehicle. We now have a 2023 2511S. We are not a fan of that frig and its location in the 2506. The dealer we purchased our camper from knows so many of their customers (like us) boondoc, they have managed to still get the propane/electric refrigerators. 12 volt refrigerators don’t work well when you can’t charge your batteries thanks to tree canopies and when Mother Nature decides sunshine will not be in the forecast for a number of days. Being a tall guy I’m not a fan of the switch location at the door entrance. We like the fact that there is no drop frame and the plumbing upgrade. My wife and I give it a grade of B.

[@TNTRVing]

Appreciate the feedback on the 2506, our 12-volt fridge has worked well for us. We personally like drop frame construction because of all the storage space. Check out our latest 2618RD (Rear Dinette) walkthrough, What are your thoughts on that one? Thanks for watching

[@airstreamer]

That is a nice long awning for the size of the camper. Clever upgrades in the plumbing. Great review guys! - Jim & Michelle

[@TNTRVing]

Thanks for watching guys!! This is a great couples camper!!

[@airstreamer]

@@TNTRVing It looks to be! 😃

[@danielletalerico2889]

Thanks for the walk through great job. I was wondering if that bed is a true queen or a camp Queen, also I personally would rather not have the added door and just open the rack and pinion slide a foot or two to get to bathroom,just my opinion.

[@TNTRVing]

We should have mentioned - it is an RV Queen. Great feedback! Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@tornadotj2059]

That's almost the perfect little trailer. Comparing that to our 2304DS Ultra Light, it overcomes some of the things I wish ours had. It has a few downsides compared to ours, but not many, and given the size of the trailer, I don't think there is any way to make it better. I'd like to see behind the TVs to see if there's a 110 option, I'm not sold on 12v TVs yet but I do understand why they are using them.

[@TNTRVing]

Agree, It's a nice little trailer. There is also a 110 outlet behind the TV, they added it so you can plug in a DVD player or satellite receiver. Appreciate you watching & commenting.

[@johncaruana6406]

The biggest con to this unit is the hitch weight when towing with a half ton truck.

[@TNTRVing]

Agree, It's best to have a 3/4 ton truck. The slide adds to the additional tongue weight. Appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@jlantz3691]

OK, but not seeing any real benefits over my 2205S. Seems like a few misses as well. As mentioned, lousy travel access is big. Also, black and gray water dumps under the slide is very cumbersome. If we have sewer on-site, I normally open the dumps every few days vs. leaving them always open, so there's not "stuff" sitting in the hoses. Might just be a perspective thing, but the fridge doors look awful close to the counters when opened. Also wish Rockwood would go to 2-burner stoves. Nevet use 3, and that gets more counter space. Just my 2¢.

[@TNTRVing]

Thanks for watching and commenting. With the additional entry door in the bedroom (which is how they are going to come) you will be able to access the bathroom from the rear door. Agree with you about the sewer. We like the separation of space. Safe travels!

[@tornadotj2059]

I hope you aren't leaving the black and gray both open at the same time.

[@Berrypancakes229]

I don’t like where the fridge is located?

[@TNTRVing]

We like it, very convenient when you’re outside and want to grab a drink.

[@Berrypancakes229]

Is this an ultra light? Is this the one your thinking of buying?

[@TNTRVing]

The 2506 is a mini lite.. Here is the ultra lite that we are considering.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3rVnniEh7KebbMsi=jmgrGqizE62ZMpgZ

@@TNTRVing I like this floor plan . One of my favorites. . You have the truck to tow it. What Is the tongue weight ?
