What's New
Pro-Rac roof racks no longer standard on new campers
3-1-2024
Pro-Rac roof racks are no longer standard on new MAC, SE, High Wall, or T-series campers. They are still available as an option. We also offer the stronger and slightly less-expensive SportRack roof rack option. Both are listed on our Options page.
Introducing the "Off The Ground" (OTG) Series
12-15-2023
Flagstaff introduced the "Off The Ground" Series with two models, the F14OTG and F17OTG. Flagstaff says these campers are designed to get "back to the basics" while still giving the comfort of sleeping off the ground. Here is the introductory flyer:
By "back to the basics", Flagstaff means really basic: the OTG Series is the first time Flagstaff has built campers without a propane or water system. That keeps these campers very light and relatively inexpensive, but it makes them--as advertised--very basic. It's also their first attempt at offering a pop-up camper without slide-out beds on the ends.
The OTG Series has no propane or water, so no stove, heater, or sink. Also missing (compared to the other Flagstaff pop-ups) is the solar panel, powered roof vent, awning, patio light, heated mattresses, power converter, 110V outlets, and A/C prep.
They come with a manual lift system for the roof. Curiously, electric brakes are included (despite these campers weighing under 1300 pounds), though they are not required by law for a camper of this weight.
The F14OTG camper has an 8' box with beds on the ends. The layout is identical to the 176ED, except with most systems stripped out besides a battery, ceiling lights, and USB charging ports.
The F17OTG camper has a 10' box so it is 2' longer than the F14OTG until you open the camper. Set up, this camper has a 3' shorter footprint than its technically-smaller sibling because the F14OTG has beds that slide out on the ends whereas the F17OTG does not; it has vertical tent panels with windows where the bed ends would normally go. The F17 has a stationary bed in the back of the box and a dinette that makes a single bed in the front of the box.
2024 Brochure
12-12-2023
The 2024 Flagstaff tent camper brochure, such as it is, is available here:
For those accustomed to previous brochures with more pictures, details, and pages, this brochure will leave you wanting. Details about features and differences between models has been removed and is only available online (though the brochure has a QR code to Forest River's website with this information).
UPDATE: 12-15-23
Forest River added an online leaflet that summarizes the differences between their various camper series. Even though their picture for the LTD is not an LTD, the rest of the information is helpful.

Model Reconfiguration
8-29-2023
206M (with counter space) - The counter-top and cabinetry on the door-side rear part of the 206M has been replaced by a gaucho/bed.
The 2024 gaucho/bed version of the 206M is now closer to the 207SE than a traditional 206 (3 beds, walkway from end-to-end). That may be a good thing because with the 206M having a storage trunk, the axle (and door) is slid forward (compared to a 10' box with no storage trunk) to re-balance the camper. The result is a longer gaucho/bed and a longer and wider dinette than in the 207SE. Cool beans.
Model Discontinuations
8-28-2023
228LTD - The excellent and easy-to-use 12' box known originally as the 228 and then the 228LTD is no longer available. The closest model Flagstaff now has to this layout is the 228BHSE, though for 2024 the interior shower is now standard. The 228D is another 12' box with the gaucho/bed, although it includes a slide-out dinette.
228BHSE (with no interior shower) - The 228BHSE is still available, but the interior shower is now standard. So the 228BHSE as we knew it (with no interior shower) is gone.
(the discontinued version)
(the "still available" version)
Because Flagstaff considered the interior shower an option and not a separate model, they simply made the shower standard while retaining the "228BHSE" name. We used two different model pages for the 228BHSE and the 228BHSE with shower because that's a rather major difference between the two.
To help people using Forest River's website, we've adopted their nomenclature for this model. So the 228BHSE with the interior shower that Forest River calls the "228BHSE" is on the 228BHSE model page since it is the only 228BHSE available now, though we still clarify by adding "(with interior shower)" to the title. We moved the 228BHSE with no interior shower to the Archives.
New 12-Volt Refrigerator
12-15-2022
The 1.9 cubic foot 3-way fridge that has been around for decades has been replaced by a 1.7 cubic foot 12-volt only fridge. To help run the fridge and not run down the battery, Forest River added a solar panel to all campers.
All Flagstaff campers except the Sports Enthusiast series will have a 100W solar panel with a controller installed inside the camper. The Sports Enthusiast series will receive a 200W solar panel.
T-series Lift Strut Discontinued
12-8-2022
The continually problematic T-series powered lift strut designed to help lift the A-frame roof panels into place (but apparently not designed to be rained on or operate in the cold, which, it stands to reason, might be helpful for a camper that's supposed to be used outdoors) has finally been discontinued.
Gas struts replace the powered strut to assist lifting the roof on the T21 campers. We'll hope these work better than the dismal powered strut.
