That'd be my choice
I have a 27vrl on order and one of my camper friends just ordered the Rockwood equivalent. Anxious to see it

I have read on here they are built in the same facility with only cosmetic differences. We decided on floor plans and found them at both dealers. We bought the Windjammer as the dealer was around 50 miles from us and V-Lite Dealers were all in excess of 100 miles. Personally I like the Windjammer name better, but the floor-plans are identical. BTW We love our 3008W.

as far as i know, they're still the same exact trailer, except for outside decals and interior decor.
and don't expect to see significant gas mileage savings.
many think that the V-nose trailers will reduce mpg, but most owners report only fractional improvement.

I am partial to the Windjammer, because I own one. Fit and finish is good, tows great. Probably can't go wrong either way, those v noses do turn heads.

We have a V Lite 30 wrls, we love the big window in the back during rainy days and late in the evening. The v front is a large closet. There is lots of room in it for the 2 of us enough that we plan to live in it for 3 months somewhere down south next wither. Lots of cupboards and appears to be fairly well built. The only drawback not much outside storage space. Both the V Lite and the Windjammer are very similar either way you will enjoy.

Hi, we are on our third season with our 3008W and we also love the floor plan. --One piece of advice make sure you have good tires when you pick up your unit, no cheap China imports, blowouts are not fun.

Hi Tebelldb we just got our new 2015/16 30wikss V-Lite 2 weeks ago. The 2016 units will have auto closing drawer guides. The Windjammer & V-Lite are built on the same Assembly line in Millersburg Indiana. The only difference between the two units is the interior fabrics and colors and the decals on the outside. Flagstaff has upgraded the decals on the outside of the unit from last fall when we went on the factory tour. I like the new graphics which puts it more on par with the windjammers. We went with the V-Lite because We liked the interior colors better. The W3025 is the same floor plan in a windjammer.
Hope this helps Tim

We have a Windjammer 3008W, 2014 model, that we've probably towed close to 20K miles, with no MAJOR problems. Love the floor plan and the room inside. DO upgrade the tires from the load range C tires that come on the trailer. We had a blowout with our load range Cs and then went to load range E. WORLD of DIFFERENCE in how the trailer tows.
Windjammer and V-Lite are both built on the same line. Only difference is interior color/fabric patterns and some cosmetic differences inside and out, but with either trailer, you can't go wrong. I think it is just a matter of personal preference.

Had a 2012 Windjammer 3008W for 4 seasons and loved that trailer. Moved up to a 5th wheel but there are times I miss the v-nose. Upgrade the tires to at least load range D if not all the way to E. I don't know how many tours we gave over the years while in campgrounds. Fun to show off! Enjoy.

We are looking forward to our fourth camping season in our 2013 Windjammer (3008W). As many with that model have stated, we love the floor plan, which really suits us. We shopped both the Flagstaff and Rockwoods in 2012, saw little or no difference, and thought the fit and finish were very nice in both. We ended up going with the Rockwood because that was what the dealer we had chosen had on the lot (although we placed a factory order with them). We have had no significant troubles with our 3008W and would most likely buy another if shopping anew today. Enjoy the process and, after you pull the trigger, your new trailer.

We ordered the V-Lite Diamond because that is what our local dealer sells.
Couple more weeks and it should be in.

Have a 2011 V-LITE 16wrb and love it. It's just me and the wife and we don't need a lot of room. But we really enjoy it.
