This all started because we saw a Roo 183 at a show. That's what we wanted no questions asked. Well then I started poking around and found the jayco 18d. What we like that the Roo doesn't have is the extended dinette bench. It's nice to have other seating then just the bed and dinette. We are a family of 5 so we need the 3 beds. The dinette to a bed is not a bed to me. Ok if the kids bring a friend on occasion but not for everyday use. So far the jayco has been better priced
