Cover length for Roo 233S

Anyone know the total length from back bumper/spare wheel to front of Roo?
I would like to order a cover for it but they say I need the exact measurement.
No one locally has them.
Thanks!

We ordered ours from Camperworld. It is an ADCO Tyvek cover. The size is 21 1/2-22 Ft. cover if I remember correctly. Our cover covers the spare to the front wall of the 233S perfectly. Have used it for 3 years now. You will want to get some tennis balls or cut pool noodles to go over the rain spouts on the corner of the Roo so you don't damage the cover. Hope you enjoy your 233S as much as we enjoy ours.

Don't forget to use tennis balls or bubble wrap on the lock mechanism for the awning. I bought the same cover this year and just noticed the hole in it last week! I guess the wind and weight of the snow helped poke the mechanism through.

That is the brand cover I was looking at getting.
So both of you bought the smaller cover?? 21 1/2-22 Ft. I was thinking I would need the 22-24 ft cover.
Are you both using the 21-22 Ft for the Roo 233S? I would love to get the cover before the camper comes home.

I just looked at my receipt and double checked online. I have the longer cover. There is a little play at the ends but the straps hold it tight. Here is a link to mine.

Designer Series SFS Aqua Shed Travel Trailer RV Cover - 22'1" - 24' - See more at: http://www.campingworld.com/shopping....ggH1WBP4.dpuf

It retails for 277.99' I got it on sale for 193.99. The spare tire cover keeps falling off so I use the extra length to cover it.

I tried to upload a photo of the cover on the trailer but it keeps timing out. When I figure it out I'll post a photo for you.

Need to Return

Well, I take it that the cover I bought, 24' to 26' is too big for the Rockwood Roo 233s... ! Darn, wish I joined this forum earlier. Does everyone still recommend the 20' to 22' size if getting Adco/Tyvek?

Thanks,

I have the same cover as rgq and it fits perfectly. I do not cover the spare tire but I believe there is enough room if I wanted to. The cover fits snug and works perfect. This is my second winter covering it.

Thanks Muddauber ...
I am going to swap out my cover at the local store for the smaller size.
No need to cover the spare tire, although it's nice to know there's some give.

Thanks,

Sorry for late reply. We only put our new cover on this week as the roof was covered by an early snow fall.

We got the ADCO Travel Trailer Designer Tyvek RV Cover - 20'1" - 22' from Camping World.

https://www.campingworld.ca/shopping...r-201-22/49123


Very pleased with the fit on our Roo 233S. Will use the tennis balls next year to cover the rain gutter spouts; the small sleeves provided for this fell off while installing the cover.

Here are a couple of photo's. The cover fits snug at the front just like the rear in the picture.

Suggest you get the tennis balls on now. My gutter extensions wore thru in less than a week.

There is a vertical zipper at the middle of the cover so you can access the door?

Also, the metal latch / lever for my awning wore through last year. Cover with a tennis ball to prevent damage.
