Forest River Rockwood Roo 233S
Still in production. A used 2023 would run roughly $22,700.
dry weight 4,976 lb + fresh water (54 gal, full) 450 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 233S's published weights changed mid-run.

Common: usually several for sale within a day’s drive. Why: Forest River is a volume manufacturer; 17-year production run; still in production; an uncommon body style. Estimated from build volume and production span, not a count of live listings.
