Well the DW and I finally took the new Roo (23ss) out for it's maiden voyage. Knock on wood only had one problem and that was the tap lines that go to the kitchen sink were loose so that was an easy fix by bring the slide all the way back in and giving them a little twist to tighten them up.

One question I do have is how do people access the drain plug that comes out of the on board water tank with out getting the screwdriver out every time I need to pull the drain plug.

Thanks

What year is your rig. I have a 236 ROO of the "05 persuasion and I use a 1-1/16" socket to remove the drain plug/anode rod.

most people put hinges/latch on that door and the one in front of the water pump/filter.

Yep, remove the screws and reattach with hinges and life gets much easier. I found some that are an almost exact match to the factory hardware. I could not do the same to the water heater panel though due to that panel being too close to the front storage door on that side. I dewinterize this coming weekend for the first trip of the year the following weekend. Can't wait

I hinged both "non-doors" soon after delivery. There's a good bit of storage on top of the fresh water tank, just be careful of the wiring that's tossed in there. On the water heater side the door opens maybe 80° not 90°. I keep nothing but the water filter wrench in there.

I have hooks on the backs of both doors for things like fuses, batteries. Equalizer parts, etc.
