On my Jayco I would have liked a few things to change for me to consider one again -
1. Ditch the Norco frame (swiss cheese holed HSLA frame) becuase it likes to flex. If you changed to a box or I beam you can increase the ground clearance with a tube riser kit.
2. Enclose the underbelly so you can have the air barrier for a warmer floor and tanks during cold weather camping.
3. Condensation, I wish Jayco would add a extra roof vent, they only install one in the bathroom, they need one in the main living area.

You have to realize that I'm being picky. I'm not quite sure I could have all my wants and keep the same length, weights, and price (3 of the biggest reasons to go with a HTT in the first place).
1. I wish we had a partial or full tub instead of the corner shower. We make it work and would much rather have it than shower in some of the nasty dungeons.
2. I wish I had more outside storage (might happen if someone does the 23ss under kitchen mod and posts pics)
3. An enclosed underbelly would be nice to have
4. We fit at the dinette, but it would be great if it was just a bit more comfortable to sit at. I'm not a big guy at all but feel squeezed with 4 adults sitting down.

I really love everything about our Coyote 23 CFK. However, I must agree with a lot of other people; the outside storage could be better.

We're still Campers and enjoy the minor adventure of sleeping under tentage and the setup/teardown of the trailer in what's probably a perverse way!  Something about sleeping in our Roo on a cool, rainy night. Helps to have that bathroom!
I drag grey water over to the dumpsite every morning and return with fresh water when we're at state parks. Would I change that? Probably not and there are full service sites available -- but they're not as nice. We take full service sites when we're touring as they're more convenient.
Lack of "storage" rarely limits what we bring or do.
Buy your second camper first. If you want a couch don't get a 17 footer; if you have 4 kids get the 3-bed model; etc. If you have to buy something to tow it and always get the HD towing package on anything you thing you might tow with. It usually costs about $350 and gave us an extra 2000 pounds capacity in our Explorer and 3000 pounds extra in the Expedition. Cheap capacity when the factory puts it in.
We've still not found a floor plan we like better than the 23SS.

I would like a bathroom without a shower and more storage in it's place. I'd also get rid of the outside shower, it's never used and has to be messed with when winterizing. We have a 2004 Rockwood Roo 23B.

Shamrock 23B here, and the only thing I would change at this point is adding more storage that is accessible from the outside. Otherwise we love our camper and everything else about it.

I would have to agree with condensation! Number one complaint. Luckily this is only a problem during the cold season.

I would definitely change the heater to floor ducts plus one in the BR. I would also want to have some quick bunks in case of overnighter or raining on arrival, to avoid setup of canvas beds.
