glad your wait is over!
there are quite a few of us hybrid owners over the age of 50. i guess
some of us aren't quite ready for the luxury of Motorhomes and 5th wheels, yet. we are still clinging to our younger days of tent camping and how it made us love the outdoors.
i'm still willing to put up with the occasionally-loud next-door campers, for the opportunity to listen to brooks babble, frogs croak, crickets chirp, birds sing and trees move in the wind.

Amen to that Bikendan, camping, i believe, is best when you enjoy the beauty and sounds around you.
Good luck Jerry, I am sure you will love your new rig!

The easy "mods" are moving the bulkheads in the floor level cabinets. We added a lot of storage space by our willingness to see the plumbing under the bathroom sink for example. "RV" bit on your battery drill handles this easily.

I saw your pix in the sticky - very nice! Couple things I noticed: 1. looks like the battery and propane tanks switched places which will probably make it easier to switch tanks in the middle of the night 2. radio looks to be moved to the right a bit but can't tell if they still have four cabiniets above the dinette.
Look forward to seeing more pix when you get yours in - although you've been on the forums and have a wealth of information, still take your time at the walk through -- congrats!

Thanks Mister d i appreciate that .Oh im one who belives you learn something new everyday .Never too old to learn i really been deep in gettibng as much info i can about the hybrid roo alot people gave me good info. Yes i noticed that as well the battery behind the LP tanks i wonder if that was a dealer idea or FR, Also the radio i know is moved to the right cause the cabinet it was in before is now more open cabinet. I 2009roo23ss had a pic in their website of theirs and the cabinet now is the Tv cabinet.When i go to p/u the Trailer on the 4th next thursday ill take alot pics and have in my webshots.Im especially interested in the seals around the front i heard they redesigned them.Well thanks again

congratulations Jerry. I see the differences between your decals and ours right away. HOW did you get our webshots name?????? our link is now going to your thing about no pictures yet. None of the 180 or whatever pix of ours are there now. What's gonna be bad now is all the friends and relatives and online people we've sent that name as our link for pictures (not just the Roo but the most recent kid's wedding and etc are gonna click that link and get you now instead of us. Expect to get some questions saying uh? who are you? now LOL..... weird.
Guess I'll spend part of my weekend home redoing a webshot site for ours now, still confused how you got our same name, and the wife just asked me last night if I'd update the most recent mods including the shades on there this weekend. Guess neither of us have looked there in a while. Live and learn , LOL.
Let me know when you get your interior pictures and such on. Am I not reading it right, that is still the link we had for ours right? You've made me think I've had too much to drink and all I have had to drink is lemonaide LOL. Anyway, congrats Jerr and family.
