Weight is similar sirbob, though I've yet to try it out in battle. My biggest concern is wind. I may have to develop a windshield, not like on a car, but ya know a shield for the wind. Um yeah..............

Funny you say that as my initial concern was weight, but I didn't even think of wind since it's a "open" top. maybe a lid mod, for your grill mod?

I blocked off that gold metal screen door in front
Not a smart move, IMO. That is your cold air return. Per furnace instructions, you need something like 54 sq in of return (at least that's the number for my furnace). If you don't, then 1) you could overheat the furnace because you're not pulling enough air thru it, and 2) you're not getting all the heat out of it you should be.

Is this an 8 foot track like this one on Amazon?

The stove works!

The outside stove works! Coffee, pancakes, etc...It's nice to be able to cook outside and not add more heat inside on a hot day!

Tongue Box

Tongue Box. Moved the Propane tanks back, mounted box and installed two batteries, plus room for my WD hitch, bars, sway controller and misc. Snug, but it all just fits

New rear door

Installed bigger rear storage door, nearly double in size. Not sure why Mfg. didn't. When space is at a premium, why doesn't the Mfg. utilize every inch? There's a large empty space across the entire rear of my Roo-233S, why? It's a foot wide, a couple feet high and the length, er.. width of the Roo. A perfect spot to slide in an "Easy-up", or such.

Sweet stove setup. My old camper had an indoor or outdoor stove you could move in minutes. Miss it so much. What stove did you use for this??


Thanks

Here is a mod I recently added to the bathroom. It is a 23S 2002 model so this may not apply in recent model.

It is compact and doesn't appear to stress the walls...and did I mention super CHEAP MOD!!

What you are seeing is a 3ft section of wire shelving attached to an outside wall for towel storage, I am sure you could us this to store various item as long as you are weight conscious. So the long part is vertical and attached at the top, with the small lip at the bottom to provide a place to build up the rolled towels.....it worked great!!!

Latest Roo 233S Mod: Bunk canvas attachment.

Yet another Mod for my Roo 233S. Bunk canvas securement! I believe the new Roo's have permanently secured canvas on the bunks, no more wrapping, snapping and bunging cords. I've added my own snaps to secure my canvas to the "door". Seems silly and/or unnecessary, but anything to speed and simplify setup is ok by me. Crappy, wet weather? I don't plan on camping in any, but if it comes to pass, I can simply secure the canvas in the original configuration. Nothings been removed to hamper original configuration.

So you just typed in 3 burner stove in search then I would assume you out some type of bracket on the stove to hold it on the mounting bracket?
