I have seen new ones on the lot in Sapphire, white with white trim, and white with black trim. It almost seems random but I assume it depends on when they were built. I liked my chances with Sapphire as they seemed consistent.

I loved the white interior in our previous pop up. I was sad they not longer offered it. Unlike other campers, Rockwood does not allow you to pick the interior of its pop ups. It is there way or the highway unfortunately. I suspect all pop up makers do the same which is sad.

My New 2015 Roo 23IKSS

Picking this up Saturday, camping in VA one night to make sure everything is good then heading back to NJ to get it all setup for the season on Sunday

Never thought in my mid 40's I would be excited to get a new RV but I can not wait, I feel like a little kid waiting for Santa, traded my 2012 Shasta in for this and got a good price on both, shopped around but satisfied we got a good deal.

We have the EAZ-Lift also with one anti sway bar. It's only 800# but with a loaded scaled tongue weight of a little over 600#, and using one link, lt works good. I have read nothing but good things about the Equilizer WDH. Our EAZ-Lift was part of the package from the dealer, and at the time I didn't know the difference. Click image for larger version

are you saying the Reese or the Equal-i-zer?
because the Equal-i-zer is a brand of WDH.

i prefer the Equal-i-zer because there's no drilling needed and it's simple to use.

Equilizer but my dealer sells the Reese stuff and they have one just like it, I was going to keep my Camco EZ-Lift but rated for 1400# TW and Roo is less than 600#

Congratulations! I am sure you will enjoy your new TT. Our TT is also a 23ikss and we really love it. Plenty of room for adult guests and for rainy days.

We pick ours up in a couple of weeks. Came in as a 2016. Looking for any pics from those of you who have camped with this unit. How do you setup your outdoor space under the awning with the kitchen slide? Just curious, we measured before we signed the deal and decided there was lots of room.

Does the kitchen slide interfere with activity under the awning? It looks more than adequate based on the display model when we purchased, but its hard to compare from a RV show setup to a campsite.

My awning goes what seems to be very far out so there is plenty of room even with the kitchen out IMO

I did this over the weekend to assure my awning is not ripped by the kitchen slide Click image for larger version

Great idea. I've thought about doing the same, but I just know one day I'd forget it was there, retract the slide and bend something.

I have a checklist for outside step one check the awning clearance etc, step 2 bring in the awning, quests what step 3 is? Yes take those 3 styrofoam pipe noodles down besides if you bring the slide in they are small enough not to make a difference just that they may be smushed afterwards. I will try that tomorrow and see how they look after being smushed if I tear them they are only $2.97 at HDepot
