JoleneWe have a 2008 Rockwood Roo 23SS. We love the camper - super spacious with the beds on the tent ends. Unfortunately, we have had nothing but issues with the front fold-out leaking when closed up. We've had it back to the dealer several times only to find more issues or that Forest River didn't send the right parts. LOVE the camper, really annoyed with the lack of response from the dealer and Forest River's customer service person. Our camper spent more than 100 days in the shop its first year. You'll love the camper and the space you get, just hope you don't get a lemon.
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.
