Picking Up Our 2022 Rockwood Roo 233s AKA The Fun Parent Mobile Command Unit!!

[@christopherwalker5351]

Your wife is so smart. You are in good hands, my friend.

[@colleenwilkin5705]

We had a Roo for 17 years and absolutely loved it and never had a problem with it! We just sold it for $5000 and bought another Rockwood but a 2 slide out, queen bed ultra lite!

[@thefunparent]

Congrats!! We’re heading into our 3rd season with our Roo.

[@JamesCurll-e9f]

We just purchased a 2024 Rockwood Roo 233S a few weeks ago. We are not picking it up and doing our demo until October 14th. Can't wait to get out and enjoy it

[@thefunparent]

So exciting!! Best of luck with it!!

[@candacespaur8478]

Thank you for making this video! We found it very informative ❤

[@thefunparent]

Glad it helped!! Stay tuned, I’m working on a video on what we have learned after a year and what we are using and not using since purchase.

[@NYGOGUIDE]

Wow Nice trailer! Now you can camping everywhere with it! I wish I could buy it! Thank you for all information! very helpful! 😍😍👍👍

[@thefunparent]

Thanks!! It really does allow us to have a little more consistency when traveling with the kids. We are also able to cook for ourselves and save money on food expenses.

[@MilesAHibbs]

This is how I set up my 233s storage. Great minds think alike.

[@thefunparent]

It’s an ever changing arrangement. I’ve already moved things 3 times lol

[@joeybagofdoughnuts6664]

i just bought a flagstaff 233s i didnt have a camera when i picked it up but i seen enough you tube vids that i knew i wanted one! i hope you and your family enjoy it as i will!

[@thefunparent]

Thanks for watching!! You’re going to love it!!

Hi. We have a 2021 Roo 233s and tow with a 2019 Tahoe. I loved the real world approach to your video and the tidbits that will prove helpful to others. I will follow your adventures as you rack up the miles. Incidentally, the scraping bottom at your driveway scenario is very real for many people. I have a very slight elevation to my parking pad and had to place boards to keep from losing a stabilizer jack.

[@thefunparent]

Thanks for watching!! We always try to show the real world aspects. All too often KZbin is about showing the highlight reels of our lives. It’s not always the case and we like to share that. Happy camping!!

[@motostradacompanhia6293]

show beautiful trailer, congratulations.

[@alicemartin-mccarthy4204]

Some campers you can put the sewer hose inside your back bumper so it doesn't contaminate anything in your cabinets. So try that also.

[@thefunparent]

We actually do have the sewer hose in the rear bumper. That Rubbermaid container is the attachments for hooking up to sewer and my hose to flush.

Hi. Love this video. Im thinking of getting this same model. I currently have a 2010 shadow cruisers hybrid but we've outgrown it. My only concern is i have a 21 colorado z71 with towing package 7000 lbs max. Do you think id be ok? My weight in my truck with kids,wife, dog is roughly 550 lbs. Maybe another 150 lbs in bed.

[@thefunparent]

I’d say you are going to have hitch weight concerns but that’s something you have to confirm with what your vehicle manufacturer limits are.

[@brimmyhop]

Love the video! Bummer it didn't fit in the driveway!!!

[@thefunparent]

Thanks!! We have plans to park it on the other side of the house. Just have to do some landscaping first.

[@johnreese8278]

Any lessons learned with the Roo? We've got a 233S and, like you, found it smoother to pull than the popup. Mine does not have the 12V Refrigerator but think I would like to add that with the solar panels. Do they keep the battery charged while traveling and running it? Thanks!

[@thefunparent]

I have a video coming out on pros and cons one year in along with what we learned about needs vs wants vs no need anymore after 1 year. Overall the solar definitely works. We have left the fridge running for a few days between trips and still had 80+% battery life. In fact, I very rarely see the batteries below 100% for just running the fridge. We have not done any dry camping yet to really test it though.

[@willthrelkeld1432]

How much have ya all been paying for these? I am looking at picking one up but want to make sure I am shopping the best price.

[@thefunparent]

If you’re looking new, $30-35k is average.

[@coactus9139]

Hi! What's the towing capacity stats of your Chevy as well as weight of the trailer? We have an Expedition but not sure it can tow the roo.

[@thefunparent]

Our Tahoe max weight is 6600 lbs. the max weight of the trailer with full load is 6100lbs. We have had a few times where once we put stuff in our trunk we got some sagging in the rear.

[@thefunparent]

I would make sure you’re checking payload capacity and not just towing capacity. Both are very important. The Tahoe suffers from only having a 1500 lb payload. The hitch weight on the camper is 600 lbs. That means that we only have another 900 lbs to account for passengers, gas, and anything else we put in the car.

[@ErikVince]

That's a really nice trailer

[@thefunparent]

Thanks!! We’re loving it so far.

[@kevinlegendre202]

I thought this was about the camper not your vacation

[@thefunparent]

Thanks for watching!!!

[@jonathanrenaud772]

Drop your hitch and you won’t bottom out..

[@thefunparent]

Issue is the hitch will then bottom out. Driveway is just too steep.
