Hello all,
I am just writing a quick post here to discuss our first camping trip in our new 2016 Roo 233s. This was also our first time ever using a hybrid (or any travel trailer for the matter). We (wife and 4 kids) are avid campers and typically camp about 10 trips per year. 6-7 trips...
It was just a few weeks ago we got hit with a violent storm while camping. http://www.forestriverforums.com/forums/f46/report-of-being-in-an-extremely-violent-storm-83155.html?highlight=storm
Got hammered again on Saturday. Not a violent storm with winds and downed trees, but a monsoon with...
Has anyone installed a plastic window on your Roo?
When it is raining out, we would like to be able to look out the windows of the bed, but the Roo doesn't have plastic over the screens. Has anyone made these? My wife and I are going to attempt this ASAP.
Hybrid Tipout side material leaking
I have a 2014 Roo 17 and I noticed last night during heavy rain that the side panels (panels behind the screen) of the front bunk where soaking through. It only soaks through on the part that is behind the screen.
Upon further inspection today I noticed that...
Hello. We are new to the TT world. We are picking up our new Shamrock 183 in two weeks and will be towing with an '05 Dodge Durango 4.7 L V8. The trailer is 3600# dry, and I am way under the tow capacity but feel that it will be a struggle on hills for my TV. I am just curious what others are...
Just saw a video walk through of the new 2016 23ws. Haylett rv youtube. Check it out! Wish it was availibility last year appears they shower has doors and the back bed is a master sweet. Nice!
I have a 2014 233s hybrid - unfortunately, it's time to get rid of it. There has been nothing right with this unit (it's been sent back to the factory for repairs and it's still not right).
My family LOVES the hybrid (it's our first camper) - my question is - How is the construction on the...
Well after 8 great years of family camping in a pop up . We have just bought a 21 ss and we are pretty pumped. We are a family of 5 and my 3 girls were making the trailer tight so we upgraded .love having all the amenities but still having canvas ends to hear the rain or let the wind blow thru...
We have a new to us 2003 Wildwood Hybrid with aluminum siding. Who knows how long it has been since it was waxed and the paint is very dull. We were trying to get the terrible black streaks off with a cleanser and the paint just rubbed off on the cloth. Do we need to just deal with the look...

So I am a big time paddler and used to have a toy hauler to stuff my yaks in. I am looking at adding a rack on my truck above the bed.
I am struggling to figure out whether it will work and have enough clearance between the boats and the front of the camper (Roo 21DK so normal tongue length)...
Just realized I should add some type of TV/Camper/Trailer podcast to my list of subscriptions. Can anyone recommend something good for a novice? Looking for something that talks about best practices, technologies as well as destinations, etc. My initial searches have not turned much up.
Thanks...

Hi
I'm new to this forum but have been looking to buy a Forest River hybrid. I'm a current pop up own but with 3 boys I'm hoping to get something with a little more space. I've found one for sale but not sure if it's a good deal or not and thought I'd enlist the help of those with more...
We traded out pop up for a 2015 solaire 147x. The trailer is riddled with flaws. lights not working, speakers not working, bad sealant, multiple broken screws in the under side. took it back to the dealer a week ago and picked it up tonight to find water running down the wall around one of the...
This forum is so great! At the same time I became an empty nester, I upgraded from my popup that I took my kids camping in for over 9 years to a 2011 Rockwood Roo 183 hybrid. Being new to towing a TT, I have had to learn a lot. Happy I found this forum! :)

Our 2015 Shamrock 21DK has been exposed to alot of rain this past week...picked it up monday in the rain, and its never dried out enough to close it back up. I had read someplace that the seams need to get wet to swell and seal, so we have kept a close eye...overnight monday the rear bunk had...
Just received our new 2015 (possibly 2016) Shamrock 183 Hybrid trailer.
Got an excellent walk through from our dealer, but remain mystified about the drop down beds.....and we have 3 of them.....lol!
After the panel was unlatched and lowered, we went inside to raise the cross support and...
I wonder if this can be done in a Sunseeker 2290s:
1: Replace the converter with a Magnum Energy MSH3012-M inverter, and move all house power circuits to it. This guarantees that all power coming in is at 120 volts. If there is a brownout at a campground, the inverter will sense it and draw...

Does anyone know where I can buy the rubber molding that is stitched to the bed canvas? I want to get this sewn and I will install it myself. I don't know how to identify the part number for the molding. I hate to take it in and replace the whole thing.
