Rockwood Pop Up Camper TrailerLearn About Rockwood Pop Up Camper TrailerDespite the appearance of “solidity” of the RV market, the history of Nord-American RV Manufacturers points quite different picture. Indeed one of the most important questions that every potential buyer of pop-up camper trailer should ask is: Who makes the pop-up campers of choice, how sound is the business model and for how long it will be still on the market. Turns out that while Rockwood pop-up camper trailers business is not an exception from the rule, these days it is a very solid manufacturer that was able to turn page of the past “mishaps”. Rockwood was founded in 1972 by Arthur Chapman in Goshen IN. Interestingly, it was a kind of continuity of the “family business” (or RV interests) as his grand-father Arthur Schrock founded operation of another RV giant – Starcraft. But the future turned out to be not an easy path for Rockwood and its pop-up campers. The company frequently changed ownership. At one point under the leadership of Peter Liegl, Rockwood became part of Cobra Industries - one of the five largest manufacturers of recreational vehicles in North America. But then Peter Liegl was fired and soon after Cobra went belly-up filing for bankruptcy. This marked the beginning of the new era for Rockwood. In 1996 Pieter Liegl founded new company - Forest River, he bought crucial assets from Cobra (but none of liabilities) and revived Rockwood’s brand name in RV business. The rest is history – seemingly quite glorious. Today Forest River is one of the largest and widely recognized privately owned RV manufacturers in US. Thanks to high quality products, large selection of models answering needs of broad class of buyers (from those looking for inexpensive models to those most demanding), Rockwood re-gained its past popularity and satisfied customers.
