And the wait begins!

This will be the longest 12 weeks as we wait on our 2017 Roo 24WS! Cannot wait to see this in person! We've looked at TT, TH, and 5-ers before committing to the Hybrid 24ws for the "outdoor" experience we love! Want her built correctly, but sure hope it's sooner rather than later!

A good way to make the time go faster is to spend some time on the forum reviewing PDI check lists and suggestions in the Roo section. Good prep work and a thorough PDI will make things much easier down the road. Getting a new RV is always exciting, do not let that excitement cloud your judgement during PDI.
Congrats.

Pay attention to these VERY important words!

Many make the mistake of thinking... "We've waited so long for it to get here we just want to use it." or "oh, I'll get it fixed after we use it a few times to see what else might be wrong."

Nothing sours the new buying experience like getting out there on the first trip and finding problems. And, do not be afraid to ask questions if you don't understand how something operates.

I am absolutely blown away by the number of posts on this forum from owners that don't have a clue how some of their basic RV 101 systems work.

You will receive very little in the way of manuals so be prepared to ask your dealer questions (as often as necessary during the PDI) to help you understand what to do, like if a slide won't extend/retract, or how to dump your tanks, etc. Hopefully your dealer is competent, they can be your friend, use them to your advantage.

Finally, come here for some of the best advice known to mankind.

That is very exciting! We love our 23ws, (the 24ws with the kitchen/dinette switched). Hope you have the same experience we have had, just a grand happy time!!!

I picked up my Roo 23ws last Oct. Only got to use it three nights on the way home from Indiana. I love the unit; I go out and sit in it some days. It is a beauty and everything seems to work. Can't wait for Spring. Hope you enjoy yours too when it is finally parked in your driveway. This forum is a great place to satisfy your RV fever during the winter season.
