Is there any difference between the Forest River brands such as Roo and Shamrock? I see they have some of the same floorplans. Is one built to a higher standard than the other?
they are twin brands, which is common in the RV industry. no differences other than outside graphics and interior decor patterns. they share the exact same floorplans, not just some. they are built on the same exact assembly line. same options and features.
Does anybody know when the domed roofs started being used on the Forest River models?
Regarding end tents: if they were not broken in properly, as far as letting the seams swell and seal, can that still be done after the fact as a second owner? Leaky canvas will quickly sour the camping experience.
that's hard to say. you would hope that they got wet and then dried at some point, while being used by previous owners. i prefer to buy new over used for a number of reasons.
Is it best practice to cover the trailer when not in use? Are cover made for this, or do I just use a tarp?
that's up to each owner. in California, if you don't your decals will peel off and crack from the sun. DON'T use a tarp, they aren't breathable like RV covers and you'll get mold/mildew.
