I suggest you find an empty parking lot somewhere and practice backing it up.
A tip if you've never backed a trailer before: Put your hand on the BOTTOM of the steering wheel. Move your hand in the direction you want the back of the trailer to go.

Welcome to the forum, lots of fine people here to help. You might want to download the PDI from the library here:
Forest River Forums - Downloads - PDI Checklist

This is an excellent guide for doing your inspection, take your time and ask lots of questions.

We looked there also. I think competition with those three in that area helps us. Good luck.

My parents have bought several campers from Chilhowee RV so they helped me get a good deal. I got the Roo home this morning with no problems. I was actually surprised at how easy it was.

I have a 2014 Roo 19 and love it. Now you can start accumulating all the stuff to go with your camper to make camping more enjoyable.

Welcome! I'm new here too with my 2007 Roo 233. So excited to get her out this season. I'm learning a lot from just reading different posts.
