• Bathroom:  None

If your thinking that the Forest River Flagstaff 176LTD looks very similar to the Forest River Rockwood 1640LTD, it’s not your imagination.

As these two pop-up campers are made by the same RV manufacturer and are identical in almost every way with the exception of the interior and exterior color schemes.  

And if you’re wondering why an RV manufacturer like Forest River, would go through the trouble of making two pop-up campers that are almost identical, just with different names and color schemes.

This is a pretty common practice in the RV industry, as it allows two RV dealers that are close together, to sell different models, so they don’t have to directly compete with one other on the same make and model RV.

But from the consumer standpoint, it really makes little difference on which option you choose, as they are pretty much identical campers with the exception of the color scheme.

So if you’re trying to decide between the two, you should just go with the color scheme you like the best. 

Why It’s Great for a Family of 4

• 6 person sleeping capacity provides plenty of sleeping options, thanks to its multiple sleeping locations including two opposing bunk ends and a convertible dinette booth.
• Has a  large dinette booth that can comfortably fit a family of 4.
• Equipped with a 7-foot awning, which provides a large covered exterior area for everyone to hang out during the day.  
• Features a well-equipped kitchenette, which includes a small kitchen sink, propane stove, and a small fridge, making meal prep and cooking at the campsite convenient and easy.
