    Plastic window in bed on Hybrid

    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.

    Biggest hybrid

    I'm just wondering what the biggest hybrid is right now? Would it be the 23ikss? Does anyone make a hybrid longer than 23 feet?
