Who knows the answer?
Maybe some one can tell me which is more pricy .Take two travel trailers brand new they are both basically the same .One is a Forest River the other is a Rock Wood . Which one would cost more ,or are they priced about the same ? I am leaning toward Rockwood from what I have seen so far but we just started to look at these . Thanks in advance and happy camping.

I don’t think anyone can answer this for you. What options are you choosing? Which dealer will give you the best price? How good a negotiator are you? You will have to go the shopping and make the choice yourself. I can tell you that the more expensive of the two will be the one that costs you more.

Rockwood is a division of Forest River. Forest River has many brands under its umbrella. You’ll find similar floor plans across each line. You’ll need to dig in to see what makes each one different.

The one that's blinged out more will cost more.

Also the one that is built better will likely cost more, the RV industry as a whole does not have many "bargains", prices are too competitive.

You can pull up both online and compare standard features and options. I had a Rockwood, which is same as Flagstaff, both made by Forest River.

I like to check prices on RV Trader to see what the nation wide trends are. Sounds like you need to do a lot more research before you put down your money.

Personally I wouldn't either one. Do even a lite search and you'll see. Besides, Forest River and anything built by Thor have tons of recalls all the time...those are all safety related. Take your time and be diligent about finding everything before your purchase.
Good luck and happy hunting!
