We absolutely love the roominess of our Roo 183 when all the rooms are down. Most nights we don't have to run the AC, just zip down the sides and let the nightly breeze do its thing. When visiting other campers we feel cramped inside their rigs in comparison. Most of our visitors marvel at the size of the fridge and the openness in the bathroom compared to theirs. However we have had some issues. The filter right inside city water inlet came with a cracked case. This should have been detected at the dealer at initial purchase but they claimed that their hose was cut and ... Anyway, the location of the filter is not the best and I decided to remove it from the system and install a dedicated one under the sink. Didn't really see the sense of filtering the water that ends up not being ingested (>90%). Also had issues with dripping connections to the kitchen faucet. Again, should have been detected (see above). I ended up replacing the factory faucet with a Delta one and used pex line with Sharkbite fittings and all good there. We recently tried to use the oven for the first time and it won't light. The closest Forest River dealer would not honor the warranty and wanted us to pay up front and then send the receipt to the dealer where we purchased the unit for reimbursement. As this didn't sound promising, and our little use of the oven anyway, we decided to forego the expense. Finally, we are having issues the CO2 alarm going off - haven't gotten that one figured out yet but am not too concerned since it goes off even when we power up without anything being turned on - or the propane tanks open. It seems like I have a lot of complaints about our Roo, but we have put over 6000 milers on it and really do love it. We have checked out many other units as we traveled around, and pretty much both agree that if we would have a chance to do it all again we would still buy the Roo - but from a local dealer, not drive to a huge retailer to get the best price.

We have really enjoyed our camper. We were looking for something with an open feel and not so closed in. This camper is built very well throughout. In 4 years of ownership, we have had a small issue with a piece of trim outside. The beds have been super nice leaving lots of room for us inside. The tent ends are great, and even in Florida downpours, no issues. The 15K AC has been more than enough to keep the unit, and the tent ends cool even in summer. Our daughter absolutely loves sleeping in her own "tent" too. One nice thing we have enjoyed is the couch. Great to have a place to sit and visit or watch TV. With the large fresh water tank it hasn't been an issue if a park doesn't have water, we can easily make 3 days or more with the 43 gallon tank. Another thing that has been nice is having a large 7 cu foot fridge in unit. It's nice that Rockwood puts the Maxxair fans in their RV's. It's a perfect way to quickly cool off your camper, or get smoke from cooking exhausted outdoors. I cannot say enough about how well thought out this camper is, and the quality Rockwood has put into it.

We absolutely LOVED this RV! We had so much fun on many family trips to many campgrounds from Texas to Florida. The slide and tip-out beds made for plenty of room for this family of 5 and the floor plan was perfect! Everyone had space to relax and enjoy. Pulling this lightweight camper was easy with our SUV or with our F150. It is easy to set up and take down as well. The AC was amazing...we were never hot or uncomfortable. I always loved the sound of rain on the side of a tent and with this camper you get that same outdoor feeling but you also get the convenience of a bathroom/shower, fridge, oven, cooktop, table, etc... We highly recommend this camper!

Traded a 2017 “xxxxx” hybrid for the 2019 Roo 183. The difference is indescribable, tow’s better, much nicer appliances, craftsmanship much better than “xxxxx” thinks they produce, and a logical layout. Wish it came with a power tung jack but I will lick that wound after my wife cooks some fresh cookies in the oven that all the small trailers envy.

This RV is great for those looking for a spacious camper in a compact package for easy towing. It's a 25 foot camper while towing, but expands into a 30+ foot camper at the push of a button (due to the power rear slide) allowing for easy setup rain or shine. The rear and side slides are both hard sided, unlike a standard hybrid camper that has the soft bunk ends, so nothing needs to be aired out to dry after closing up in the rain! You get the best of both worlds here...light weight and compact like a hybrid, with all the benefits of a standard, hard sided travel trailer. The rear King bed and front bunk beds are perfect for 4. But, the jack knife sofa and U-shape dinette also convert into beds accommodating up to 6-8 people in total. The U-shape dinette is on a power slide as well which opens up a great deal of floor space inside the camper. There's a full kitchen and full bathroom, outside shower, gas BBQ, inside and outside entertainment system, full length power awning, dual entrances...all the creature comforts of home, ready for your next outdoor adventure. I've traveled from the NC mountains to the Southwest FL beaches over an extended 2 week trip with wife and 2 kids and the experience was absolutely awesome! The camper is around 4,900lbs (dry weight) and easily towable with a 1/2 ton pickup truck. These units are difficult to find available on the used RV market, so if you find one...grab it fast!
