Pop up camper set up, Rockwood High Wall 276 set up

Join me for the first time we set up our pop-up camper: Forest River Rockwood HW276. Rockwood High Wall Series
This is the same as the Flagstaff HW27SC. After a few camping trips, it now takes us only about 20 minutes to set up!

[@liberty3928]

I seriously don't know why people are commenting that this took too long. The video was only 43 minutes long, it was the first time he was putting it together and he was talking which slows things down. Putting a tent up and and everything that goes in it is a time consuming job and it is still just a tent. I think this is a sweet camper with all of the comforts of home. Great job!

I agree I would love to have that camper and what’s a few minutes of your time to set it up when it’s going to be relaxing and comfortable for your stay❤

[@user-er6wb9rf8u]

I've had several tent campers over the years, and gave them up in favor of a travel trailer. Reason: I've been soaked to the skin more than once setting up in the rain. Never again.

[@herrp8765]

Major props to the videographer. It was obvious that it's not easy following someone around with a camera whose putting up this high wall. The heavy breathing says a lot about the effort it takes. So well done, person with the camera! Thanks for hanging in there and capturing all that video. You deserve a star!!

[@jconde854]

Yea she was a trooper!

[@chadtransam2]

A summary of the most common comments: 1. The camera person is dying. She was suffering from allergies, she's a trooper, not a hostage. It wasn't that distracting. Get over it. 2. Way too long to set up/ changed my mind about buying one. This was his first time setting it up, and he was explaining/showing things as he went. Actual setup time would have been half if he wasn't focused on making the video. It will get faster each time, and faster yet with his fiancee helping instead of filming. 3. Way too much work, glad we have a snobmobile instead of this. Pop ups work for some people, and the few extra chores are worth it for various reasons. Less storage space, more economical, easier to tow. There are pros and cons to everything. Why are you even watching this video if you already have a class whatever camper, and no interest in a pop-up? Thank you for posting this video. I thought it was excellent, you did a fantastic job, and I really appreciate you taking the time from your camping trip to make content that this viewer found quite helpful, and entertaining. As others have said, thank you for your service, and happy camping!

[@paulpritchett1065]

We had a large pop-up for about 12 years. The first night of each trip I would turn on all the lights on inside walk around the outside of the trailer to close up anywhere light would come out of the points where the tent sealed to the trailer. We found that if you are using a fantastic fan the vacuum was enough to suck in any tiny flies that would be attracted to the light. When we did not, we would quickly realize how many bugs could get in within a very short time. Good luck and I hope you have as many years of fun as we had with ours.

[@thewitmerexcursion]

Nice pop up! We tent camped for almost 20 years and went to a 10' pop up when the kids were grown. No bathroom, no indoor kitchen. Basically it was a tent on wheels. We had the pop up for 5 years and went to a 30' travel trailer and oh my, but life is good! Our little pop up was a lot of work with very little indoor living space. Maybe if we'd had one like this we would have kept it longer. Enjoy!

Thank you for your service. Although it’s a beautiful pop up, it’s too much work to set up. In the mid eighties, my husband and I had a huge Starcraft pop up and it was not as difficult to set up. But then again we were thirty five years younger with three boys. Hope your fiancé is better soon.

[@jonmccauley6490]

Nope, you're right. I commented the same thing. We still have our 86 Coleman and it doesn't take half the time to setup. And yes, I understand the recording and talking time. I pointed out the differences in why it's taking a LOT longer. Just poor design.

[@chrischocolaad9319]

Thanks for posting! Just acquired a Rockwood BHESP 2280 - like seeing how others do their setup

[@fastdude2002]

I had a pop up and camped a few years in it. The set up and break down got old quickly. For about the same price we bought a somewhat compact 21 foot trailer with an electric slide out to make it wider inside. Much happier now, pull up to the camp site and just hit the button for the slide out and that’s about it. Hard sides, a real bathroom, much better insulation, etc. and at just 21 feet it fits in all of our favorite camp sites.

[@herdfan697278]

This is the best choice for any younger family who want to get off the ground, yet enjoy the great outdoors. All those large windows open up for fresh air and a wide open view, while offering protection from the weather when desired. My wife and I owned a new Coleman Cheyenne back in 2007. Today with children grown, we have moved to a 2018 Winnebago Travato, after owning two Coachman Freedom Express camping trailers and a thirty-one foot C class Jayco motorhome. The simpler you can do it as you age, the better! KISS - keep it simple . . .but we are only in our seventies here!🤠🙏✝️

[@balancedperceptionsllc1512]

We did a week long trip this last October. The hottest week of October on record. Horrible thunderstorm the first night. Loved the AC and not a drop of water in the camper. We had been tent camping and both agreed that we wouldn't have stayed after the significant storm and heat if we were still in a tent. I agree, with everything opened up it still feels like close to nature and in a tent but with total dryness and AC when needed ! ( and microwave...stove...oven...bathroom...)

[@suannedorman621]

Thanks for sharing your first setup. Beautiful popup, my ex and I bought one years ago that also had the dinette slide. I loved it but it definitely was a challenge setting it up. It had legs that you pulled down and if you camped somewhere not level, we would have to dig to get them set in place. We loved our popup. I think our first time we set ours up, we got hung up in a traffic jam for a few hours. We had reservations but didnt get there till 10 at night. And it was raining. There was alot of arguing and laughs for years after that one. Eventually, we learned to work together and we could get all set up in 15 min. Enjoy!

[@joshschackmann9607]

My friend that is a beautiful popup!!!! You did very well for your first setup after the dealer bombarded you with info. I have such a soft spot for popups.. Bless your wife she is a trooper.... The allergies were beating her up a bit. I know your new and I love this... Get yourself a surge protector and a water pressure regulator. It will save you in the long run.. Most importantly Enjoy that beautiful camper!!! Last but not least... Great video!

Thank you for sharing your camping trip. Excellent set-up shown with all of the details! You made it look so wiick and easy too! After the kids got bigger, downsized from a 41ft pull camper with 1 bedroom; to a 38 ft 1 bedroom + 1 bunkroom. But now, all of our sons are grown with homes of their own. My husband hasn't camped even once in the new one! I'm seriously thinking something like this, or a pop-up might be just what I need. Thank you very much! Nice work!

[@juliepoleykett2451]

Thank you have watched your video 3 times!! just upgraded to a HW27KS after owning and camping in a Fleetwood Westake for 11 years. I haven't had chance to camp in my new rig yet but your video has set me up nicely for my first set up. I have to say I am not impressed with the build quality from Forest River, but the floorplan & look is so fancy. Many thanks to the wonderful camera lady, way to hang in there and see it to the end!

[@duanemiles1558]

I had my StarCraft for 6 years and loved it to no end. It opened up to 26 feet and had a slide. I used it a lot. Then I up graded to a hard wall. We like to camp in the winter months. But, when ever I see a tent trailer, it's like seeing your first girlfriend again. You get that old feeling again. Enjoy it as much as you can.

Great video! Glad to know the struggle is real. They always make it sound and look so easy at the dealerships.

[@stevenelson8560]

Pretty cool, I've seen those already set up, but I've never seen the High Wall in the process of being set up. As a kid we went from tent to pop up to small travel trailer, while the travel trailer was easiest set up, tents and pop ups can get into places travel trailers struggle with and are much easier to store when not in use. As of now I am a tent camper, something like this would work great for me. Wishing you and your lady many happy camping trips and fond memories of them.

We liked alot about yours. Ares came with no A/C heater. We camper in Missouri in February at 30 degrees outside with a electric heater and two large dogs. My son had A frame pop up with A/C and heat and him and his family came to our to get warm. The 1984 pop up had the most space out of the two. Enjoy camping!

So I'll be taking your experiences and applying them as we also go out in a week or so and set up for the first time. Thanks again for shooting this video and sharing it with us.

Thank you for showing us this set up! Both of you worked so hard - you did a great job and I wish you happy camping. I must say, though, that this was one more nail in the coffin for popups for me; I’m going directly to a hybrid camper. Love the tent ends… but all the Velcro, door set-up, and a wet bathroom were too much for me.

Beautiful unit! After several times doing it the two of you will have it up in 15 minutes. Ours has a cassette toilet that we only use for #1. Handy for evenings. Then we roll it to the outhouse or showerhouse and drain it. We also have an add-a-room that zips onto the awning which effectively doubles our space and we out two four foot tables on an L-shape where we have our ice maker, dishwashing pans and three drawer unit. I put down puzzle pieces and lay our RV mat on top for a wonderful underlay. Lol. Soft on the feet when not wearing shoes.

[@ruthfreeman6854]

My husband and I borrowed his parents pop up camper, and it wasn't near as hard as the one in the video. Now this was 30 years ago, and didn't have a bathroom or a pop out for the dining area. It was what is called a hard sided pop up. It had a queen size bed on one side and a double bed at the opposite end. Nice dining table, seating for four, and could be turned into a bed. Had a kitchen area (stove and oven, sink), ect. The sides to the bed, once pulled out, were solid fiberglass. We were able to set it up in about 10 minutes. So don't be discouraged about pop-ups, as there are easier ones to set up. The one this gentleman has just has all the bells and whistles.

[@bennygonzalez9154]

Thank you for sharing. It looks like one of the nicest inside of all pop ups. I'm not a fan of the generic brown wood cabinets they have out there. Doesn't look so bad to set up. PS Bless you camera lady.

[@FrankiesFancy]

That wouldn't have been a problem when I was younger but I'd be working through the night to get it together now. I like popups but am too afraid of bears...hungry bears trying to rip through the canvas to get inside at my food. This one's pretty high up so I'd just have to remember not to leave step ladders, trash cans, tool boxes and other stuff that they can climb on out overnight. Those snap on lights and fans are damn cool! Leave a blade of some kind in a drawer somewhere in case there's a fire and you can't get the door open. But that is a really nice popup. To those who say "too much work" I want to remind them that nothing good ever comes easy, my friends. The veteran works to make good things happen while the civvies sit on the sidelines and whine. I hope your lady found some relief for your weekend. Allergies suck. Poor thing. Enjoy your lives. That's all that matters. Happy camping.

Nice job , you get faster after a few times of setting up , we level the camper first then the stableizers go down and then lift the roof , as soon as the roof is up put on those safety bars just in case . We use a small hand level on the bunk support bars to level . You could probably feel me helping you push on that front canvas roof ,mine is still snug after 2 years but not bad .you already discovered the corner zippers we unzip to within a inch or so of the top, they can be stubborn to line up if unzippef all the way with tension on the canvas .we can tow our popup with any vehicle in the house and it stores in the garage , not so with a hardside so that made our decision easy and the extra work worth it , congrats and have fun , from a fellow rockwooder .

[@tizoned1]

We bought a 2019 this year and I spent an entire day replacing stripped, rounded, broken or missing screws. Missing were half of the screws for the front weather stripping which is still not flush, will probably have to shim and rescrew once it cools down. Day before we left, the handle for the bathroom exploded in my hand. I replaced it with the front door handle and replaced the front door with a screen door handle using the same cylinder. We went on a 10 day camping trip to CO and I started a laundry list of stuff to take care of after. Both of the lights that snap on broke within day one, so flimsy we decided just to put them in the misc bin. The locks for the beds are not aligned for level boards, lift them up when locking in place. The door has put small holes and grease in the slide canvas (warranty claim). The main bolts that attach the stove were there but looked to be started by hand only. When I tightened these in, I decided to replace all the interior square head screws with #2 phillips head screws 1/4 longer. Removed the screws for the slide out cushion velcros so they actually align and are not 5 inches from each other. Queen bed replaced first thing for me. Tanks are small, weekend warrior no problem but anything over 2 days will require dumps and water refills when forest camping. Wire loom just above the axle is only held on by zip ties, wrap some loom on it. Stopped using electric toungue jack after snapping a whole pkg of fuzes, plus its much faster doing it manually. Door lock seems to be seized, cant lock it the door(warranty). The good; fridge on gas/generator kicks ass, furnace is great too. Can hardly feel it behind my 2500, excellent mpg loaded bed and trailer, no wind drag and very stable. Enough room to possible upsize the tires but havent started to look into it. As you show, very simple setup and assembly. I second the note on not unzipping all the way on the corners before collapsing. I have also found it to be easier to unzip the AC drip hose cover and tuck it up underneath just before the final close. Fits in our RV pad without issues from the HOA, runs for the most part on a 20 amp circuit but we bought a 30a generator just in case. We chose the 276 for many of the same reasons but wasnt prepared for the degrading quality of almost all of the budget manufacturers these days. Sorry for the novel, hope this helps somebody one day. Good job on your video, happy camping!!

I am sorry for your experience. Sounds like you got a lemon! Thank you for all of the good info. I too may move the slide out velcro and and add some more as they dont seem to line up properly.

[@SB4E.2]

Good job for first time. 👏👏👏 And as others said, not getting frustrated was pretty cool! Sorry for all the “too much work” comments. To each their own. I tell ya... you seen our aframe tour video.... we have a lot of work moreso because we bring lots of stuff. We like stuff!!! We like doing stuff outside. 😂 But the plus of set up is for one, it’s rewarding. I mean it’s camping... setting up camp is a thing for some. Busy work... we like busy work. Second, on a medical standpoint... before our aframe, we were both not active and had health issues from that lifestyle! Now.... moving our bodies while setting up, has helped all of those issues! Literally gone! So as much as we’d love a park and sit... we don’t want one as well. 😉 Every thing we set up is free exercise! In time it all gets faster of course when your system is down pact. (Then you buy more stuff!🤣) Another side note pro for us....small units fit in cool places I wouldn’t give up for the world. (Including HOA home storage in the garage happiness for us.) That includes being two feet from a shore line literally! That is our favorite and also well worth what sometimes takes us half hour or more to level. (Our favorite area has quite an incline near shore.) Point being.... when you figure out what you like it’s all worth it, albeit a little thing that needs setup or a big thing that needs land or space to store it on. 🤗 And I swear I have seen large campers, 5th wheels, etc., with just as much crap brought outside to set up as we have! 😆 In regards to full trailer campers compared to pop ups ....Let’s not even get into better gas mileage... easier to tow.... not having to worry about windy driving hazards and back up parking for those uncomfortable with that. Different strokes for different folks... positive attitude for each other’s camping style choice is the way to go!

[@oldmillrd8153]

A-frame vs pop-up tent camper. A-frame less than 5 min to set up with no canvas to dry out . Pop-up 30 min to set up with canvas to dry out. No canvas flapping in the wind for A-frame vs a lot of noise from the canvas in the wind and neighbors in the tent pop-up. If you don't need the extra bed space the A-frame is the way to go.

[@coryCuc]

Well yeah lol. The extra bed is the reason why people get a pop up to begin with. That's like saying, I have a Toyota Camary. Great fuel economy, cheap parts and labor. So if you don't need that v12 engine in your Lamborghini, I'd go with the Camary.

The wife is height challenged so I made her a double step to help her get in the bunks. One step would help you guys in setting the poles. Have fun, in the camper. open the screens and you almost feel like your outdoors. Bless you guys, the adventure begins.

Great video. We had an older Rockwood popup for about 5 years. Just got tired of the setup and finally bought regular camper.

[@howardseidler9528]

Great video! We've had our HW 277 for a year and have never been able to successfully set up the door until we watched your video last week. Thank you! I still don't know how you pull out the beds with just one person.

[@NicoleS0913]

Hi!!! I absolutely Love it!!! All the amenities you need!!! We’ve gone from tents to a travel trailer and almost done with our 1991 Class C renovation. Its so exciting. Wishing you Great Times and Memories!!! Bs safe!!

[@bcjtanderson1473]

It’s a good idea to have a checklist to do the setup in order so you don’t miss something that causes extra work during setup. Plugging in a couple days before will cool your refer down before heading out. Also running the fridge on gas during travel will keep it cool. Enjoy your pop up. We are on our third. We just got a HW296.

yOU DONT NEED CHECK LIST AFTER DOING IT A FEW TIMES THE CHECK LIST WOULD BE IN YOUR BRIAN .

[@beatricemaxwell7327]

Are they still Selling your new modal and for how much brand new ? Thank You

[@inktime]

You are a patient and efficient person. Like the video. Sorry for your fiancé not feeling 100%.

[@pambaars7685]

When both people are setting it up it’s quicker, the more you setup and down the quicker it becomes. Yes we use a drill so much quicker. I think it’s fabulous. Ours is similar but we don’t have that pop out on the side. We love it. Happy camping.

[@paulburrell7058]

We had a 1973 bare bone pop up Cox camper. 5 minutes set up at most . And we had electric hookup for a a fan and a small portable tv .. wish I could buy one today. 5 people comfortably

[@kimedmondson4282]

Great Video, thank you so much!!! This really helped me make my decision. Beautiful place you set up to camp...

[@offairhead]

Oh my gawd!!! She is huffing and puffing and wheezing......why are you still going?!?! Take a break and let that woman rest!!!!

[@TexasSlinger]

He doing all the work

[@krystaldelmonico9282]

I thought she was going to die before it was even set up !!!

[@rebekahbridges-tervydis5054]

Ah, she’s a trooper. She has allergies. Bless her!

[@carolyndiedrich9816]

That is what I noticed.....sounds like someone with a bad cold causing them to be a mouth breather??

[@coleenhudson8924]

Glad I watched. I had no Idea that pop-ups were so complicated. It's a no for me now. 😳♥️

[@jaydenchippett1057]

Coleen Hudson I have one and it’s not as much as you think after all you are camping

[@justinlatvamaki2365]

I love Popups they pull nice and store nice when not in use. and once you get use to it you can put them up and down with ease. and if you have more then one person you can get a system down and it goes up fast. we have 15 to 20 mins from parking to have the whole camp set up with the wife and kids we each have their own jobs and it goes quick. and taking the whole camp down is about 30 mins. I prefer the smaller campers because it gets us outside. I have had Class A's Class c's pull behinds and popup campers. in the class A and big pull behinds I found the family sits inside all the time. so we are down to a small class C and a pop up camper.

[@jaydenchippett1057]

Justin Latvamaki I totally agree with you man they are so much better then those big camper and there isn’t that much setup to them once your used to it and they are great for storing when you are done with with them for the season compared to the bigger ones

[@wendywilson1736]

@@jaydenchippett1057 yes, it is nice that our pop up fits in our garage. It's great. Our tow vehicle is now stuck outside in IL winters, but we weren't planning on minivans and pop ups when we built the house. So, that's life.😏 Civic is in the garage, it fits better with lawn mowers and bikes.

[@nanachick05]

We had a pop-up for years, many many happy memories in ours, we loved it. I’ll give ya a couple of hints, do the bottom outside edge (the Velcro etc) of the bed after you push up the bed bar, makes it a little easier to push up that bloody bar. 😆 Even with a heated mattress, but some thin foam insulation under the mattress, not only does it keep you warmer but it adds a little cushion to the mattress. One final tip, if you have a fiancé with allergies, hook up that ac. LOL 😂 I am curious as to why you’d use a port a potty when you have a potty built in? Black water is super easy to dump.

[@toddthomas1641]

We've owned our hiwall 276 for about 4 years. Take a magic marker to mark the slot positions for the support poles. My wife and I devide and conquer. She does the inside and I get the outside. We have had mixed results as far as build quality we bought ours used so we had some issues. Bring a few tools and keep an eye out for loose parts.

[@darrenstibbard6773]

I have a pop up too and looking to upgrade. Mine is a 2007 and we’ve outgrown it. Looking at a high wall like this. After a few times you develop a system. I’m detached, set up and chilling in my chair within 20 mins at a leisurely pace. Pop ups are so amazing nowadays.

[@JustinHallowesOutdoors]

I enjoyed. thanks for posting

[@krippleinacaravanxxx707]

I gave you a thumbs up for effort. OMG like others have said. That is a nightmare to set up! You would need at least a week in it! I’m sorry I really wanted to enjoy this but I was exhausted watching it! Good job you are fit!❤️❤️❤️

[@amyralls6218]

Thank you for actually showing how this pop-up is put together! I've watched several videos on Pop-up trailers, but all of them are already "magically" up and together! It is nice to see how it's done! I am even more vertically challenged than you, plus as a female I don't have the arm/shoulder strength that even the smallest male would have! I would have to do a "pop-up trial" prior to any purchase, just to make sure that I would be able to open and setup the camper myself.

[@DizzyIzzyMom]

Glad I have a class A..Enjoy your times out camping.....

[@mildredwest2541]

Happy Camping to you both! Nice setup..

[@jasonrodriguez3858]

Wow those cicadas are no joke in the background! Good video, thanks for posting

[@wendyeesue]

If I had to do all that to camp, I'd make sure I was camping for at least a 7 day adventure, thanks for your video, I always wondered what it took to set up a pop up camper like this

[@bobabooey4537]

Thats a sweet camper, real nice. You have all that room with a bathroom and still the convenience of a pop up camper. A nice decision and purchase. I liked watching someone set it up first time instead the usual joe pro. I felt for the camera person, I suffered with seasonal allergies and hay fever when I was younger... you did a great job shooting the video while all stuffed up. Enjoy the trips and memories.

[@tinascott3892]

Just found your channel !! I am looking for a nice pop up ...this one looks kinda ok for me to set up ...since I lost my husband in December ...we loved to camp !! I'm gonna camp with my sister or my mom !! So appreciate you both taking the time to show all of this ..including that awesome bathroom !! You see ...a bathroom like that is a must esp when my mom is planning on coming !! We bought a reg pop up years ago ...only to sell it the following week lol !! It was sooo much work just to set it up ...too much work esp for my husband who had Rhumatoid arthritis.....anyways I love this camper n all the neat things that come with it ...the lights the fans ! And that amazing bathroom !! Hey ..i subbed just now ! I felt so bad for the lady that was filming bc of her allergies ( I know how that can be...awful ) so I appreciate her filming the entire thing also ! I am forwarding this to my mom now to bribe her to get a pop up like this n to go camping again !! Fingers crossed guys !! Happy 🏕 camping & God Bless !!

[@tinadudley5318]

You are a good tour guide I luv the pop up!!!!

[@barbarataylor4382]

I have been thinking about buying me a pop-up camper. Years ago I had to pump up campers and I love them they were so easy to put up. But you have convinced me did I don't want one like you have. It's pretty it's big and for a single woman it would be too hard for me to put that thing up by myself

[@jonmccauley6490]

Yes, get a smaller older model. Takes half the time and effort. It'll be worth it. Popups always have the best views!

[@Down2Chill]

One thing I really like about this camper is the HUGE windows!

[@SandroG71]

Thanks for the videos guys, I personally don't like all the hassle of a pop up camper but this one is really nice. I enjoyed watching the setup...Thanks Again 👍👍

[@deborahengland865]

You had me at the pull out but then seeing you go thru much intricate this & that i hv to pass on this model. Its worst than building a tent. Thk u

[@bonita3710]

We had a Rockwood POP Up (8ft box) for 16 years. We used it all the time. My son and I had the set up & break down to 45 minutes.

[@brianhanlon9602]

I have a tube mounted near the rear bumper that holds my bunk supports and the lifter safety posts. Side note, I hear FFDP playing I'm coming to visit whether you like it or not!

[@BuhlouBear]

Great video! Bless her Thank you for your service

[@scottb4494]

Now that’s a popup👍
