Just saying that they do exist. :-) Our 2004 Aerolite Cub did the same thing. I also used Top Stitch with the exception of I ordered the J-Lock only. I removed the tent from camper and took to a local upholstery shop to sew on new J-Lock to tent and then I reinstalled the tent to camper.1.6KViews0likes1CommentRe: Rockwood Roo Salesman

Thanks I considered in telling the manager because to me after what he feed me and I knew there was no difference with the Roo and Shamrock was I will not buy there because what other lies would be feed to the consumer.464Views0likes0CommentsRockwood Roo Salesman
We stopped at a RV dealer today to look at some hybrids. Specifically the 21SS. Roo or Shamrock. They were a Rockwood Roo dealer. All their hybrids price not less than 30K. My wife and I did our looking and we also browsed thru TT's also. When we were done walking the lot my wife went in the showroom and I stayed out front waiting on her. A sales man asked if anyone was helping me. I said I have looked at what I wanted to look at. He went into the spell well let me help you. what was I looking at? etc. I told him I was looking at the 21SS but it appears that your prices were 5 to 10K more than other dealers around. He said don't look at the sticker we sell in volume and we will work with that #. I mentioned that Shamrocks and Roo's are exactly the same thing and they are even made in the same plant. He said no they are not built at the same plant. He went into telling me that Roo's are the top quality hybrids then the Flagstaff then you have the Shamrock. Roo's have 1/32 inch thicker wood and that increases quality and price. My wife came out and I said thanks for his time. I did not know that while my wife was in the showroom she picked up a brochure up for the Rockwood RV's which included the TT line and the hybrid line. We get home and I was looking at the brochure comparing the floor plans and UVW. I get to the back page of the brochure and where they put the sticker for the Dealer info there is the Forest River logo. Also the Rockwood brochure showed 2 aerial pictures of the plant. Then I bring up Forest River web site and download the Shamrock brochure and low and behold in it has exactly the same two pictures of the Rockwood brochure. So what is it are Roo's and Shamrock built by the same manufacture and same plant? Do sales people think consumers are so naïve? Was I out of line mentioning Shamrock to a Roo dealer when in my mind no difference in the two? Even though the price was not under 30K on a single one and I see same Roo's and Shamrock's from 20 to 23K everywhere else. Also he did mention he was a volume dealer also.5KViews0likes9CommentsRe: Ram 1500 3.55?
mkirsch wrote: Did you verify the gear ratio on the ones rated to tow 10000? Well lets say I went to this linkEquipment Listingto see the specific build for a particular truck via the trucks VIN. It would show 3.55. I would take that same VIN number and enter it into the Look up my vehicle and it would show it tow rating. I may also have jumped gun to my first thoughts as; the more I look at trucks with the 3.55 gear it appears why I'm seeing the two differences is that a 4x2 with 3.55 tows 8000# and a 4x4 with 3.55 tows 1000#. I'm doing this for two reasons: 1. So I will not have to go to lot to actual look at the truck when it does not tow what I want. 2. Went to 1 dealer and I asked "what it tows", oh it tows 12000#'s. Looked at sticker and seen 3.21 gear and I KNEW NO WAY A 3.21 CAN TOW 12000#, MUCH LESS A 3.55. So just trying to avoid useless rides to dealer and dealer saying it tows this. So at least when I get there I know exactly what it tows at least.1KViews0likes0Comments
