I don't know exactly when it happened but suddenly Rockwood got SERIOUS about making some great fifth wheels! This little 2445WS is perhaps one of the best "Travel focused" fifth wheels I've ever seen.
It's an interesting "offset" to the 2442BS that has a slightly smaller living, but bigger bedroom. You're basically exchanging space between the two. This 2445WS definitely provide the superior traveling access and carries a little less weight however.
The living room doesn't FEEL small and actually provides the seating of a super slide without actually having a super slide! The direct facing TV setup is great and MAN does it pack some kitchen storage into that room!

It almost makes me want to change from the Cougar 25RES as my choice but I've yet to see a real 3,000lb hitch on the rear of any of the 1/2 ton Rockwoods. If I can't pull my motorcycle behind me, it's useless to me.

@@enjoytomorrowtoday Correct - not something they're doing currently. I don't have any update notes for future "generations," but it's certainly possible for them to upgrade to a towing hitch Interestingly it's *literally* the same hitch on the back. It just doesn't have the wiring harness or safety chain hooks but that changes its "classification" enough to be a disqualifier of course

This is my favorite 5th wheel right now. When the biggest complaint is the bathroom door that means the did a bang up job. I love the kitchen behind the rear axle to off set the weight added to the hitch by propane, batteries and closets up front. And you can still make it into most state parks. You probably only have 25’ behind the rear of the truck? This is on my short list for sure.

I would use that counter space for a toaster, coffee maker and kettle. We currently store these in the pantry when not in use as we have limited counter space in our Sunset Trail. As usual, Rockwood hits it out of the park for storage. I like the idea of a table and chairs, but I use all of my dinette storage so I wouldn't want to give that up. The entertainment layout is perfect.

Lighter interior color is always good, but this color is about as light as you should get IMO. Storage/room, again, is always good to have and there is always some way to use it. Thank you very much for talking about the options available. That really helps when your painting a mental picture how a model works for you while we are watching the video. I would pick between the 2445WS and the 2442BS, this one would be it. But, in a perfect world I would have the rear of the 2445WB combined with the bedroom of the 2442BS.

I just wanted a small simple trailer, but my husband wants a 5th wheel for easy towing and we can easily tow this one so I guess I am ok with a short 5h wheel. I like the bedroom better in the other link so still torn as usual lol. When we do buy one, I should know everything there is to know about trailers and 5th wheels thanks to you Josh.

Josh, thank you so much for the insight of this 5th wheel. We have had for 3 years . Has worked for us very well. My wife is 5'3" not all cupboards are user for her. But overall solid constitution. Plumbing ,framework. Slam latch doors. The bed frame must be the best I ever saw. All others i saw are plywood and wood frame .Which can age or break quickly . The aluminum frame used in the bed and seating area by far better the some higher end model construction. The frameing ,plumbing, slam latches. We were looking for a shorter height 5th wheel . For more access to mountain site camping, ie: low trees wires and such. But didn't find one that equals .they either lack bed support or thin plywood platform. Few slam latches or none. plumbing levers ,pull handles that seemed more fragile. Made you wonder on the longevity of the unit. Thank you agin for all the in-depth reviews. 😎👍

I just bought a 2021 Flagstaff 524EWS which is identical to this floorplan and color combo, and I LOVE IT. We visited the Hershey RV Show, and out of all of the units we walked through (over 1100 on display) this was the one camper we walked in and went "yea, i could trade ours in for this". Low and behold a week later we were signing the papers. Awesome small package, very well thought out, tons of storage, awesome features, awesome build quality. Love the short 5th wheel, doesn't feel short at all with all of the height of the 5th wheel but tons more maneuverability compared to a similar length travel trailer (came from a 30' TT, this thing pulls and parks like a dream). Very well thought out floorplan to where you can actually use this unit if its closed up and you're making a pitstop (previous unit had opposing slides which completely closed off the living space/bathroom making it inaccessible). Overall in the 7 years I've owned my previous unit and visited the RV shows, nothing has made me give up my old unit until this one came into my life.

Josh: First the compliments. Your reviews are hands down the best, most honest and entertaining in the universe. You most definitely would do well on the stand up comedy circuit, impeccable comedic timing! Second, your urging of caution about pulling a fifth wheel with a half ton is admirable. What I have seen on roads sometimes makes me shiver, dangerous overloading that unscrupulous dealers have allowed, even encouraged! You are a credit to your industry and there needs to be more like you. Now having said that I was guilty of pulling a too large fiver with a half ton but came to realize how dangerous it was with my previous truck. We purchased a Rockwood 2512S Mini Lite and a GMC Sierra with the NHT max trailer package, 6.2L etc.. We absolutely miss the fifth wheel for so many reasons and I am very intrigued with the 2445 WS. The owners manual for my truck claims a fiver up to 11000 pounds can be towed so long as the pin weight does not exceed 1500 pounds. The truck has a payload of 2180 pounds. My question: the literature claims a hitch weight of 1215 pound for the 2445WS. Is that based on empty weight or an assumed usable weight of the UVW and say 1000 pounds? The GMC manual says to allow for a pin weight of 15% to 25% of the actual trailer weight. At 25% no 1/2 ton and most 3/4 tons would be able to haul a fiver but the only way to know for sure is to weigh the truck and trailer, and that can't be done until after you buy it! I would appreciate your insight into this as I would like to go back to a fiver and the 2445Ws sure looks great, but only if it's safe to do so! Keep up the great reviews and thanks for doing them!

I can see why this would be ideal for some people. It offers so much in a relatively small and attractive package. The lighter tones give it a more open feeling, but I think it would be nicer (cozier) with some darker two-tone accents. For me, the deal killer is s the position of the TV. I consider that _"neck-breaker"_ style. This got me thinking about an idea which could overcome this problem with this layout (and frankly, I'm surprised that nobody has thought if it, yet). Someone needs to develop an extending TV mounting arm for RV's, which not only extends outward and tilts Left/Right, but also rotate AND extend Up/Down. This would allow the TV to remain on it's side when in travel mode; and whenever anyone wants to watch TV, they merely pop it forward a few inches, rotate it 90° and position it at the appropriate eye level of your choosing. I have another idea, which is a different take on an already nifty idea in use in some RV's.

Great couples 5th wheel -- I'm not a 5th wheel customer, but this would be the one -- need to get Rockwood to carpetless slides. I like that the showerhead in this looks a bit more residential and the travel access is fantastic -- great boondocking, national and state park camper, and/or RV Park with full hookups! I like the light interiors. Thanks Josh!

I love these Rockwood small 5th wheels. This one is great, but I think I like the big brother a little bit more. The kitchen /seating area just seems a little more open. And all that outside storage in a small fifth wheel.. Holy Cow!!! And auto leveling .... really really nice! Love it!! We will probably be upgrading in a few years.. keeping an eye on what Rockwood does with these small models in the future👍

Yes, I like this better than the option without full table. It has full table plus theater seats, in the same small footprint. I also appreciate the 12 volt refrigerator and other 12 volt options. With a bit larger 12 volt system, I might consider making this my boondocking choice.

An idea to reach the storage in the back corner cabinet area purchase yourself a few of those grabbers that are used to pick up soda cans and leaves and trash and just keep one at the handy so that you can always grab what you need from back there and the other one is find a thin enough tote to where you can just pull the tote forward

These shorty 5th wheels are really cool. Rockwood did a good job of checking the boxes of what I'm looking for. When it comes time my personal choice is a table/chairs in place of the dinette and dual AC for those trips thru AZ. I like that Haylett specs the auto leveling and other nice features on what you stock. And the one thing I love that you didn't mention is the frosted shower glass. The clear glass looks nicer new but it's a b**** to keep clean of water spots.

I love this floor plan and all of the features! Extra guest sleeping capacity, great travel access, the expanded solar option, 12volt fridge, the pantrytainment super center (👍🏻😂), etc.. Is Rockwood still making this model in 2022? I have no problem with the bathroom door being a hinged swing open door or the harder to reach kitchen cabinet storage, but it’s great that you go the extra uphill mile to provide that information! Thank you!

We just visited your place today, and unfortunately we did not see this Rockwood 2445WS! Bummer! We did see the other Rockwood! Nice job done with these short Rockwoods! Love the kitchen vent, and yes, some kind of pocket door or sliding door to the bath would be better! I also like the Ash color wood!

Amazingly there's *already* a pending purchase on it. It was likely on-site, but out back and not for display as a courtesy to the potential new owners. We can likely still get you inside of it as a courtesy, though if we have already gone thru and done a detailed cleaning for the new owners we generally just have to ask you to stand in the door way. I hope you can respect that. A quick call to a team meber to let them track it down and verify status might be in order!

REALLY love that color scheme, ESPECIALLY looks great in the bedroom. Way to short for our next camper but I really love our current Rockwood 8282ws. The only downside I have ever found to be is their use of a non standard pin box. Would love to get a air ride pin box on ours but there are zero options to upgrade because it (and all rockwoods) has a proprietary pin box.

That pinbox is one of those tricky things that creates just as many problems as it solves I think
