New 2026 Rockwood Ultra Lite 2523MBR

The 2523MBR is a new or significantly reimagined floor plan for the Mini Lite series, designed to offer a fresh twist on popular layouts like the 2516S. It aims to combine efficient space utilization with enhanced privacy and a residential feel. The "MBR" likely stands for "Mid-Bath Rear" or "Murphy Bed Rear," given its unique configuration.
