Bluemax, since the 23SS came out, they have always had RV queen beds front and back.
Our 2007 23SS has two RV queen mattresses.

Why do you think yours isn't?

Pretty sure all FR hybrids have the same bed size front, rear, and side if they have 3. We have a 23ikss and both are the same.

One of mine in my dk seems smaller because the doors are different size but as others said they should all be the same.

Bunk ends

Ok I will try this again. Being new to this forum, I put comment in the wrong place. I just purchased a roo 23ss, 2010. I have found a few issues that I could your advice, some we have a solution.

Bunks do not measure the same, back one is smaller, real bummer since this is one of the major reasons we purchased a roo

Bunks were not closed correctly so we had the leaks also the dealer must had the bunks open for show Huntsville whether for some time, so dirt and mildew too over. I was going to clean but found the gasket to be cheap to replace. New gaskets have a better compression. We are a blended family of three generations, being in the silicone valley we are all engineers. I will post some fixes for the leaks and mods we have on the way.

Welcome to the forums!

When you say the bunks aren't the same size - are you talking about the door & canvas (which aren't the same size) or the actual beds (which are the same size? Both bunks use the same mattress. The front door and canvas are larger to account for the angle of the front of the trailer, but the sleeping area should be the same for both ends.

Some hybrids do have same size bunks front and rear but most have a king or queen up front and then a queen or full in the back. King is rare I believe

IIRC, the front bunk is a queen and the rear is a double. Both beds should be hinged at the same height off the floor but, as KMP44 said, the front door can be larger due to the slope of the front wall.

Regarding your leaks, where are they coming from? On our previous 2010 Roo 23SS, I found that the screws securing the bed door frame were not put in at right angles to the frame, nor were they countersunk, so the screw heads stuck out and prevented a really good seal. I replaced the white seal around the bunk doors and the black pads on the latches and it helped.

Thanks I saw the same thing with the screws, but also notice the hing itself can leak. FR but a drain but if the trailer is tilt up the water just goes inside. I have a fix for this, but I will also store the trailer level. My fifth wheel had a non-crowned roof so it was always stored with a tilt.

Ops I also forgot to say that the brochure says both beds are 60x 80. Not so for the back bunk

If you have a Dremel type tool you could try to grind the protruding part of the screw head down a bit for a better seal as long as it doesn't affect being able to remove the screw. I found that trying to re-seat the screw was impossible.

You say you bought a 2010, so it's used. I'm wondering if someone put a larger mattress in your front bunk, or a smaller one in the rear, for some reason.

Brochure says bunk is 60 x 80, but my actual mattress was 60 x 72. If it had been 60 x 80, the ends of the mattress would have been flush with the sides of the bunk door and would have interfered with the cable supports.

I thought the same thing.
I've never measured the mattresses or doors but our 23SS mattresses are exactly the same size. The DW likes to stack them to sleep on.

Not sure what you're saying.
Are the Roo's mattresses RV queens or not?
