Parents home for the next couple of years. Brought it to my place for storage while they are away.

Had my snows on still. I had to air them up to take some of the wiggle out. Once I did, it towed the same as my 21SS.

Thanks.

No, it's a Rockwood Roo 21SS Hybrid. The truck hauls all the toys!

It has two queen bunk ends and a full slide almost the length of the trailer. Massive wide open space on the inside. When we had the two 80lb dogs it was a must!

NICE.

My buddy has the Roo as well - it's bigger then yours (don't remember the model) but like yours, when it's opened, it's huge inside.

Probably a 233S or a 23SS. Only two bigger. Yep wish we had gone to one of those some days. Had a smaller truck, that should have work, but didn't. The F150 is amazing for towing. Wife is looking a a 33 footer now . An 8306SS. Freakin house on wheels! I like the short length of ours. I can get it into any site out there!

I really considered your model also. It's the same as mine except with the addition of the front queen bedroom.

At the time, my 2008 Sport Trac 4.6L 3V would had been over in the hitch weight rating pulling this one even though the weight was within the 7000 lbs Sport Trac rating.

Since we were use to camping with the 23' open Pop Up, we wanted something similar that could go into the same small sites.

With the F150, I may had gone with your floorplan as it was only about $2000 more than what I paid for mine. For some reason, the 19BH was an expensive floorplan for it's size in the series costing more than even the 22FB.

Nice camper.

There's a lot of cool campers here, but I noticed it was limited to travel trailers. How about any tiny tent trailers or pop ups???

That's why we chose a mini slide model bunkhouse instead of the full slide models that end up being 1000lbs heavier and a ft taller.
we went with the classic model of the dutchmen (27ft), ya the full slide adds @1000lbs and an extra foot of height, but it's a little more roomy inside which keeps the other half happy ! go to the other ford forum "f-150.net" to see some gallery pics of my truck and trailer...aren't you on there also, rocco ?
