Is the front "face" just curved material like the side walls or is it a "3D" cap?

The February 12th build date tracks with another 2511 that a dealer mentioned was going to be built on February 11th.

Looks like mine is still 1-2 months out yet, as it's not on the build schedule yet.

Ovens make good storage spaces for excess fishing tackle.

Docking lights? I don't know what I'm supposed to be looking at.

The lower white part of the chevron is an led light for hitching. Or to provide adequate lite for a neighborhood kegger.

Delivery Time Update

I ordered the Rockwood Mini Lite 2522s on Feb 9 2021. Dealer originally told me 12-14 weeks. I couldn't get an update, so I wrote a note to Forest River through their service contact email.

Someone got back to me right away! Amazing! Of course, he said to check with the dealer. Then he said, given all the parts problems and the delays from the Texas storm, expect 16 weeks. That would put it for late May early January, not including the 10 days the dealer says it will be once they are notified by by the factory for pickup.

So I'm expecting early to mid-June now at best. Disappointing, but not surprising. I worked a deal out with where I bought it - I took pictures of mine right after I signed, inside and out. If not changes, damage, etc. they will honor the trade in price for my 2015 KZ Vision (they gave me a great trade in value) so I can get out a few times before then for some quick local weekends.

I FINALLY got my Equal-i-zer brand WDH yesterday. No trailer yet, but I set the hitch up for what I think will be right specs. Pretty sad to see an old man sitting in the garage with a beer stareing at a truck and WDH with no trailer attached...

The hitch was on order for 2 months from the manufacturer. (Progressive) I was originally worried that the trailer would arrive and I would not have a hitch. Turns out that it was not something to worry about.

Delivery Times Update

FYI I just heard from my dealer that orders taken in January or earlier are being delivered in mid May. I ordered Feb 9, I'm told early to Mid June and they will have an update in 10 days. I don't know if that is for all Rockwood orders or not. I'm waiting on a mini lite 2511s.

So it is about 4-6 weeks later than they originally told me in February. I'll take mid June, but figure it could still be early July. Who knows. At least it's news

I really hope you're right. I ordered my 2511s on January 26th. That puts me 2 weeks away. Too old to hold my breath that long!

Good Luck

I'm in Pennsylvania .. and I have no idea how they divey up the factory builds to the dealers. My dealer said that he would get another update in 7-10 days. Call you dealer, likely they got an update as well???

When you get it, please send along any tips once you do your inspection. Anything to look for!

Thanks !

Extra side storage if 12v Fridge is installed?

I just watched a new video posted

In that video, they show a storage door behind the 12V fridge???? I guess normally there is the access to the propane fridge guts. In this video, it is a larger storage door and room for brooms, etc. Look at the 14:10 mark in the video

Has anyone seen that on their 2021 2511s? If so, great bonus storage. That's the first I've seen that.

Have to part with our beloved 2511s

Not sure if I can post this here, but due to a death in the family wife and I have to part with our near mint condition 2511s...

This is where we have it consigned, our loss can be someone else's adventure, we only used it a handful of times

Extra Storage on slide out

My dealer confirmed that the 2511s coming of the line now, if it has the 12V fridge, now has a large external storage area in the slide out, behind the fridge!

On video, it looks large enough for fold up camp chair or two, maybe the mountain pie makers, etc. and other things. I'd keep it light, but that's bonus storage!
