Rockwood Roo vs Flagstaff Shamrock
Does anyone know the difference b/w the shamrock and the Roo, both are made by Forest River but is there a "better " quality? Is this like a Chrysler vs Dodge?
Forum Discussion
We chose a Roo over the Shamrock when we bought a few months ago because of the differences we saw between the two. They may come off the same assembly line, but there are differences.
The big difference I saw was how the bunk canvas attached to the bunk door. On the Shamrock, you had canvas that came around the edge of the bunk door and had to be hooked or clipped into place in setup, then unhooked before the bed could be folded back in. The Roo has the canvas attached to the door so setup was faster (drop the door, pop up the frame, and make the bed) and teardown equally faster (unmake & fold up bed, drop the frame, and fold up the door, tucking the canvas in as you fold).
Look closely and you may find more differences. This one was enough for me.
