A Hybrid 23B, any 23B!

[garym053]

Hi! I have an email in to a Rockwood Dealer on this, but thought WHO better to ask than the folks at PUT???

As you probably have gathered from my posts on the subject, we kind of like the Jayco 23B. Especially the Kiwi 23B that Genef has! One of the things we liked about it was the large window in back of the stove and sink. It would make the person stuck inside cooking (Me) or doing dishes (Mary) feel like they were part of the action going on under the awning!

It is my understanding that Jayco changed this for a smaller window. Since Rockwood Roo 23B has pretty much the same floorplan, I was wondering if anyone knew if the window was large or small. It was my recollection that Genef's window was behind the entire sink and stove, and the new ones are pretty much only behind the sink.

Since no one locally has a 23B of any make on their lot, trying to track this down has been pretty tough!
Thanks!

Gary,

Have you looked into the Starcraft Travel Star or The Antigua
23SRG. //www.starcraftrv.com. We have kept the large window over the booth. Star Gazer Windows in the Slide out. More storage space inside and outside. This one has the lift up rear utility room door.

I have some pictures of this unit on our web site also. //www.catheysrv.com.

Might be an option for you if you like large windows with a lot of light.

Happy Camping

Hi Rick,

No I hadn't thought of Starcraft, but I will check the web sites out! I don't know of any Starcraft dealers around me. There are several Jayco dealers and one Rockwood dealer nearby.

Thanks!

Our 2003 kiwi 23b window spans the stove and sink. I think it still does in 2005 models as well.

According to the 2005 Roo brochure the window appears to be as long as the sink and stove. It is two windows split down the middle horizontally that crank open. It doesn't appear to ba as tall as the jayco window.

I haven't been able to find a Jayco 23B or a Roo 23B on any lot to look at. I did hear that Jayco cut down the size of the window around the time they decided (by court order) to stop using Kiwi as a model name.

I agree that the Rockwood Roo 23B floor plan LOOKS as if the window is large, but I don't trust floor plans!! I want to see it!

Thanks for the input! RV Wholesalers is trying to get a picture of the Roo's window for me, so maybe I'll know soon.

Our 2005 Jayco 23B window is only over the sink area.

Thanks Mark & Janett!
Genef said that they had changed that somewhere around the time they changed from Kiwi to Jay-Feather, but 'd hoped they had changed it back!
Happy Camping!
