Said Goodbye to the Roo

Instead of drafty, "hearing every neighbor sneeze", cold wet canvas you'll have the security and warmth of proper walls!

You're not going to miss that Roo starting with your first night in your new Salem! Congratulations and have fun!

Congrats on the new trailer! Hope you have lots future memories to make!

Good bye!

And Congrats on the new purchase!

Congrats on the new TT

We did the same thing last March. Both the DSs are married and on their own now. We decided less sleeping area and more living area and of course less set up and take down was the way to go. We love our Kodiak which will still sleep 6 but it's just me and the DW now so it works for us. Best of luck with your new rig and many happy trips.

We made the move - notice I didn't say "upgrade" - from our '07 ROO 23SS to our new Rockwood Ultra Lite 2604 for the same reasons as the OP. It's the perfect trailer for us at the perfect time. However, don't expect to not miss certain aspects of your ROO from time to time. I miss the larger kitchen area - we lost a bit of space, but it's still very workable. I miss the breezes coming through with the bunkends wide open. I miss unzipping one of the end flaps first thing in the morning and watching the birds in the nearby trees. And terribly miss the memories and where they were made with our ROO. Don't miss the extra set up and break down. Don't miss DH getting grumpy when I handed him the PUGS. Don't miss the smaller shower - gotta LOVE the garden shower in our Rocky. Congrats on the change and make a whole new set of great memories!

Yup, went from our Starcraft 21SSO to a hardside. DW's knees wouldn't take climbing into the bunk end anymore. We like the faster setup / teardown but miss being able to unzip the end flaps for a breeze and a view.

i hate to say it but we may be losing our Roo by the end of next year.
with me retiring next year and us moving to Washington State, we may need a bigger trailer without the canvas ends. the DW wants a walkaround bed.
but finding something with kitchen counterspace and recliners, that's towable by our Avalanche, has proven to be nearly impossible.

Strange post for the HTT forum?
Anyone who doesn't feel that the compromises related to HTT's aren't rewarded in other ways really shouldn't own one. I would miss the real camping feel of bunks, and the airy feel when boondocking. Perhaps not ALL campers are as delicate as you?

don't worry, fordsooperdooty has a history here, of dissing hybrids, though he has cut back some.:W
he has readily admitted that he hasn't owned a hybrid.
