Forest River Rockwood Mini Lite 2306
Sticker was $28,292 in 2019. Out of production since 2019, so the used market is the only way to buy one. Estimate assumes a 2019 unit.
dry weight 4,337 lb + fresh water (58 gal, full) 484 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb. Brochure dry weight omits water, propane, batteries and your gear; this estimate doesn't.
Judged the way the app judges: estimated loaded weight against each vehicle's rating less a 10% margin, per model year, because the 2306's published weights held steady.
