Re: Towing Roo 233s with Yukon xl? Feedback?
We towed our 2010 Roo 233 with a 2006 Yukon XL Denali no problem. Drove it from Ontario to Florida twice, and it pulled like a dream with the WDH and sway control. With 5 passengers and all our cargo, the Yukon was pulling the 4000 lb dry weight plus 1000 lbs cargo with ease. Its tow capacity is around 8000 pounds so there's plenty to play with. Mind you, we were pulling it locally for a few months with a Toyota Sienna (4000 lb tow capacity) so with the power of the Yukon it was no comparison. We've since changed our vehicle but I thought it was the perfect combination until now.169Views0likes0CommentsRe: Show your mods!!
I didn't find the bar that tight, only because you can now just use a finger to pull or push the door. And it saves the top screen from being pushed on. You could always install it without the spacers, and if you find it too tight, add the spacers after in the same spot. I love it though and am really happy with it.668Views0likes0CommentsRe: Show your mods!!
Sewer hose storage - Valterra 46" EZ Hose carrier - it doesn't hold the Rhino hose with fittings so I had to take them off. Other problems? Mounting holes were wider than the bumper, and with the spare tire it didn't sit flush either. My solution? Take cutoff hockey stick ends, tape them to the mounting ends to raise it over the spare tire mount, use velcro wrap around the hose to attach it to the bumper, and no-more-nails tape to adhere the hockey sticks to the bumper - finally complete! Who knew it'd be such a pain. Love this storm door handle - easier for the kids to use Small kitchen mods - magnetic message board, key hooks, outdoor thermometer, magnetic tins sit on magnetic strip which is attached with velcro to counter, dish rack Wardrobe door - adding this for storing garbage bags, rain ponchos, light sticks etc. plus hooks for hanging umbrella or hats Left lower cabinet under side bunk - for dry food items Right lower cabinet under side bunk - fits toaster oven, coffee maker and kettle perfectly Bathroom mods - Oxygenics shower head (awesome!), soap/shampoo dispenser, over the door hook for towels Privacy curtain using tension bathtub rod and grommet curtains (haven't shortened them yet) to make a decent change area because the bathroom is so darn small And I have a list of more to do's of course... DH doesn't mind if he doesn't have to do them! LOL668Views0likes0CommentsRe: post pictures of your HTT
We looked at the 233S as well, but I found that wardrobe next to the washroom awkward. The salesman said it would be hard to have adults squeeze in there and I agree. That is a tension curtain rod for the bathtub, and it works great as a divider with the curtain to make a larger change area. Got two drapery curtains with the grommets so there's no need for hooks. Saves having to squish into that tiny washroom. It is one door below the rear bunk which I only open from the outside. Keep hoses and stuff there.395Views0likes0CommentsRe: post pictures of your HTT
Thanks, now it works! Have to copy the image location, not the link location (FYI for any Mac & FB users) Here's the view looking to the front of the 233: Looking to the rear: Killbear Provincial Park - at our site 30 seconds to Georgian Bay - almost 1500 sites here and July and August are always booked - so popular! Georgian Bay with looming storm clouds above - nice hot weather and didn't end up raining after all395Views0likes0CommentsRe: post pictures of your HTT
