C.W.How do you carry 4 bikes on a Roo travel trailer that is 19 feet? I have a Trailblazer.
BTWe have a Forest River 23'. The front bunk on it leaked when closed up. Turned out to be the small channel that is where the hinge is located. This was clogged with leaves and all kids of other debris. We cleaned this out so that the water could drain, and we have been dry since. Be sure to keep all rain channels clear especially on a sloped surface.
Jan PWe have a 2008 roo and it's really great. Looking forward to using it again this year. Never had a leak or a problem. Really been nice for our family.
BonnieWe just ordered a 2010 rockwood roo 23SS. We are very excited. We are upgrading from a Coleman popup,but we still wanted the openess. I will keep my finger crossed we don't have any leak problems. Hopefully they improve things year after year.
hardin county camper Bought a 07 roo 23ss last summer. Like everyone else love the space it gives yuo. The only thing is the front bunk draws moisture when it rains. called a local dealer and going to look into a solution. Wish me luck...
JoleneWe have a 2008 Rockwood Roo 23SS. We love the camper - super spacious with the beds on the tent ends. Unfortunately, we have had,issues with the front fold-out leaking when closed up. LOVE the camper, really annoyed with the lack of response from the dealer. You'll love the camper and the space you get.
Bryan JWe have the 233 with tip outs and really like them. no problems with leaks at all.
Fred RI own the 2007 19' Roo. We average 15 trips a year to varying campgrounds with different hook up options. Only problem is the front canvas leaks when the trailer is closed. We have taken it back several times without good results. Otherwise it has been a major improvement over the pop-up.
Chris HWe have the model 19 which is only 20'3" long. This gives you two 60x80 beds. How else could you get 2 big beds in a 20' long trailer? We really like it and no problems. The only thing I don't like is packing up after it's rained. Not good with the tip outs but that's the only thing.
