Great awning, I had installed one on my Jayco that was ready for a replacement and used it for years - trouble free; and now our ntu Rockwood came with the same awning, we use the awning every time we camp.
Our Rockwood 2270 has the front u-shaped sofa which has a second table that can be set-up, we never use it but could be a good place for an inside game of cards or a meal during a storm. The layout makes for a large open space and a great place to relax before retiring for the night.
Congrats Anthony, we bought a 2003 Rockwood 2270 this summer ourselves and live in Florida as well. We are loving our camper, great layout and lots of room. Where are you in FL?

Congrats and welcome from Florida, I had a 1991 Jayco 1006 Deluxe for 9 years and just sold it this summer for our '03 Rockwood, if you have any questions, give me a shout!
We both turned 50 back in August, we're three days apart and were even in the same kindergarten class, dated in HS and finally got it together 5 yrs ago. [:D]
Looks nice, anybody ever been to E.G. Simmons Park - a Hillsborough County Park in Ruskin? Great kayak launches from every site with nice access to Tampa Bay.

Thanks salsa - here is where I got the bracket: http://www.marinesurplusinc.com/servlet/the-template/about/Page
It was kida pricey at $20.00 but it is heavy stainless steel meant to support a boat's swim platform in salt water, it was the right size for the job, I just had to chamfer the...
PDieter, I like your kitchen set-up, does that shelf slide out of your pup? Bears not too much of a concern in coastal Florida State Parks, I will take advice into consideration if I ever make my way to the northwest. Worst beast I have dealt with are the pesky raccoons if you forget to make...
Thanks Wrenchgear, here is a link to the wheels and tires combo I bought locally, when I got the pup it had the original 12" radials and the tires had some dry rot cracking on the sidewalls though the tread was fine. I always wanted aluminum rims and saw these that included center caps and s/s...
Gas line was already there on the side of the pup from the factory for the RVQ grill, same set-up as the Jayco had with a plastic hatch, just took the quick release nipple from the RVQ to use on this cooktop so the gas line coupler could connect to it.
I got a piece of the same channel that came on the side of the pup from a local RV store to hang the counter top from, the support brace is a stainless steel swim platform support from a marine surplus parts store and that attaches to the underside of the counter unit and to the side of the pup...
Our ntu Rockwood pup came with the RVQ grill for the outside, and having a Weber Q we really didn't need it but wished that we had a removable cooktop like our old Jayco 1006 had. So I ordered a 2-burner Stainless Steel Attwood drop-in cooktop and cover and picked up a pre-formed countertop at...
Ditto Bupkiss, Carefree is a much better awning than what the original was, replaced the awning on my old Jayco and my present Rockwood came with a Carefree Campout. Somebody was probably bobbing and weaving behind you!
