Model Year 2026 Preview: Palomino, Rockwood, Sandpiper/Sierra, Forest River Park Models
Palomino
For Palomino, cutting-edge technology and thoughtful design will take center stage at Open House Week. The company will roll in with exciting product introductions from Pause, O.V.E. travel trailers and Palomino truck campers.
Pause continues to redefine off-grid capability with the debut of three standout offerings, the company says. The new Pause X 22.4 arrives loaded with 1,000 watts of rooftop solar, an additional 800 watts of portable solar and an 1,080Ah Battle Born lithium battery bank. A 4,400-watt onboard generator is integrated into the frame to preserve storage space.
For those seeking a more compact solution, the new Pause “Reboot Edition” 14.3 is a lightweight, single-axle unit that still delivers big on power. This trailer is built for extended adventures, offering up to 1,400 watts of solar, 1,080Ah of Battle Born lithium batteries and a 3,000-watt Victron inverter. The Blackout package, available on all Reboot models, eliminates vinyl graphics in favor of sleek, durable metal badging.
O.V.E. travel trailers offer serious off-road readiness in a lightweight, compact footprint. A pop-up roof design improves towability and delivers a lower overall trailer height. A standard Curt independent suspension axle ensures confident handling on rugged terrain. Each model includes two accessory roof racks for added versatility.
Palomino truck campers will also be on display, showcasing three distinctive lines — Soft Side, Hard Side and Hard Side Max, each with refreshed interiors and updated exterior graphics. Palomino reports plans to introduce two new truck camper models in the near future.
Rockwood
The Rockwood lineup sees new floorplans and updates across several of its products for the 2026 model year, starting with Rockwood tent campers.
Tent Campers
Rockwood’s tent campers will debut four new floorplans, the 1920FT, 1930FT, 2270FT and the 2380FT, featuring a bunk LED light bar, tent vinyl color change to clay and two-tone cushions.
In the hardside tent campers, Rockwood has added new floorplans A101LE, A121FD, A123RG and A216HS, as well as an accessory hitch. To make setup easier, there are motorized roof lift assist actuators on Dormer units. A rollover dinette offers convenient seating for mealtime, while converting to a sleeping surface at night for maximum use of space.
Geo Pro
To appeal to the more price-conscious customer, Rockwood is expanding its Geo Pro offerings with three smaller Geo Pro bunk models: the G13LE, G11LE and G17LE.
“They will still have the superior quality and construction that Rockwood is associated with, but at a price that will appeal to a larger market,” the company says. “We will also be introducing the G19RL, which will feature theater seats and the G20BHT, which will be a dual-axle bunkhouse.”
The 2026 Geo Pro models also have the Power Pro Voice Activated Control Panel, which allows you to control the interior and exterior lighting, slides and awnings with your voice.
Mini Lite
A couples coach, the new 2523MBR provides a large bedroom and bathroom under 26 feet. The first Mini Lite with washer/dryer prep, this model also features theater seating and a large front kitchen with plenty of counterspace and barstool seating.
The company says the new 2522FB is their take on a popular floorplan in the industry while remaining under 26 feet. It features a wardrobe slide, huge campground-side window and a 50-inch smart TV on a power lift.
All of the new 2026 Mini Lite models receive a new graphics package, upgraded wood detailing with curio-style cabinet doors and drawers, and added toe kicks in the kitchen.
Ultra Lite
You’ll find more space in the 2026 model year Rockwood Ultra Lite products, featuring two new nonslide, wide-body models with a soaring 86-inch interior height.
“These will both be under 30 feet total length and perfect for travel access and getting into state and national parks,” the company says.
This year the Ultra Lite series will offer a Platinum Package for Rockwood customers who want all the extras, as well as optional ABS brakes and sway mitigation.
Signature Travel Trailers
Standard this year for Rockwood Signature travel trailers are ABS brakes and sway mitigation for a smoother ride, while inside you’ll find new residential-size microwaves and ovens have been added for a kitchen that feels more like home.
Roo
The look and feel of the Rockwood Roo receive an update for model year 2026. The interior gets new LED rafter poles for improved lighting at the bed ends and upgraded wood detailing with curio-style cabinet doors and drawers with added toe kicks in the kitchen. The exterior gets a new graphics package and color matched tent vinyl.
Signature Fifth Wheels
Rockwood Signature fifth wheels are rolling out the big guns by introducing its first offerings of 40-foot fifth wheels (previously Rockwood only offered floorplans under 37 feet). Each model over 40 feet will receive a standard six-point leveling system, and all 2026 Rockwood fifth wheels will feature spray foam insulated front caps.
The 40-foot offerings will feature three floorplans. The 401SFB is a rear living room/front bath model. The 402SFL is a new front living room. The 405SBH is a wide-open bunkhouse model with room for the whole family.
Sandpiper/Sierra
Sandpiper
Sandpiper will bring the new 3900HBLR fifth wheel to Open House, showcasing all the amenities desired in a fifth wheel. The living area offers a massive butler’s pantry, an L-shaped sectional and large panoramic picture windows throughout the coach.
The perfect couple’s coach, the 3900HBLR offers a laundry room, king-size bed, walk-in closet and a one-piece fiberglass shower.
Sierra
Sierra brings a fresh lineup of full profile fifth wheels and wide body destination trailers to Open House this year. The new 3710HBFB is perfect for a family looking to capitalize on space.
“The versatile front bunkroom and half bath up front offer a perfect haven for little ones. Adults will enjoy lounging on the L-shaped sectional, resting in the RV king bed or cooking gourmet meals in the modern kitchen,” Forest River says.
Forest River Park Models
Forest River Park Models wowed last year with a fresh brand approach and plans to repeat this feat at Open House Week. For 2026, expect expanded floorplans, fresh features and more opportunities to increase profit margins across the lineup, Forest River says.
With the Quailridge Summit Series, Forest River is bringing back one of the classics: a two-bedroom park model with a loft for budget-conscious customers. The Summit Series 38-2B brings smart design to a two-bedroom unit with a tall loft, full-size bunk beds and a fully furnished interior. The kitchen features a four-burner cooktop, over-the-range microwave and refrigerator. Eight floorplans are available to meet a wide range of needs, and every unit includes loft AC as standard.
The Quailridge Premier 39ASL is already a dealer favorite. For 2026, it has been redesigned with upscale features that include a beautiful kitchen with solid-surface countertops, workstation sink, four-burner cooktop, refrigerator and large over-the-range microwave oven. A whole-house vacuum with power dustpan comes standard. There is also an adjustable bed with massage capabilities and a cooling memory foam mattress, a rainfall shower and soft-close drawers. The 39ASL boasts a spacious loft with AC, a metal underbelly and three interior designs to choose from.
