We have a 23IKSS and LOVE IT !!!!!! I cannot fathom a salesperson giving you that kind of advice either he is uninformed about hybrid campers or he was looking to make a bigger commission. Sorry you had to deal with all of that confusion! I researched for years, loved our popup, took her to Niagara Falls Ontario and all the way down to Key West FL. Many happy memories but I knew one day I would have a camper with a full sized refrigerator and freezer, a bathroom and OMG storage that I didn't have to crawl on the floor to put things away and use a flashlight to find things lol. Once I saw the Rockwood Roo IKSS I knew she was the one and we love it, so much storage space, room to spare inside and I still have the ability to feel the night breeze blow over us, and hear the sounds only nature can offer. Go for it, you won't regret it. Sue :C
