It seems that Forest River makes a heck of a lot of campers. From the brochure, I can't see the difference between a Shamrock 19 vs. a Rockwood Roo 19. Is there? Why are there different makes/model/etc. for the same thing?

Is it geographical? i.e. west of Mississippi = Roo else Shamrock.

I take it one's a Rockwood and the other is a Flagstaff. Haven't checked the hybrids but in PU's they are clones with only color and badging being the only differences. Notice that most dealers are either Rockwood or Flagstaff, not Forest River. Coachmen and Viking are another example of clones from the same parent company with different names for different dealers.

I'd say about five (5) letters...
 
Other than that, not much difference at all...colors maybe?!
