On the 19FD floor plan please consider: 1) Installing a lighted pull out pantry just left of the door when entering the rv, up to the top of the adjoining dinette seat. Atop that place the tv with a sound bar, 360° swivel, tilt and slide so it can pulled further towards the center of the rv for easier viewing. 2)Have an inside location for consumer to install the Go Power! 250Ah Lithium Iron Phosphate Solar Battery which is already compatible with the Go Power 190w solar system, 1000w inverter, charger etc. Storing a lithium battery outside can be easily stolen and is temperature sensitive. Thus with four season camping the lithium battery must be stored inside with climate control or it will freeze in the Winter and overheat in the Summer. 3)Offer dual pane tinted European acrylic windows with built in screen night and day shades, including for the front cap. Stargazing and fresh air a must. 4)Use the Truma comfort plus gas and electric continuous hot water and furnace unit. This will free up interior space for the Go Power! 250Ah Lithium Iron Phosphate Solar Battery, etc. Best, Kent Pull Colorado Springs, CO 🇺🇸
I know they are built in the same factory, but can someone explain the differences between the e-pro versus the geo pro? I’m specifically looking at the GeoPro 19FBS/19FD
On the wall construction, I understand EPro has 'Azdel' material that's laminated under the vacuum bonding method. Question: Is this Azdel material on the outside AND the inside? Or is it Azdel outside and luan inside?
@@ForestRiverInc That is an amazing quality difference! I confirm that most others only use Azdel on the outside. I also noticed in this video, are you saying that your floors are 1/2" plywood?
The solar panel at the time this video was shot was a 100W panel but we are now installing a 190W panel. The roof solar port can accept more solar panels to expand the system on either.
Anyone have any issues towing these with a Toyota Tacoma. I see the jeep cherokee trailhawk with a rated 4500lb towing capacity in this promo, but looks are always deceiving. Want to be able to go up or down a few hills on the interstates.
Rebel Forged - I am towing the 20BHS with a Subie Ascent (5000lbs towing capacity and 500lbs limit on hitch) just fine, provided all 3 tanks aren’t full (~800lbs over trailer’s 3513lbs) and carefully limited cargo is adequately equilibrated to avoid overloading the hitch since the empty trailer already piles 455lbs on it. The Cherokee Trailhawk’s 4500lbs towing capacity may not give you much headroom for cargo, though (unless you are talking Grand Cherokee, which has plenty more).
If you have tow package and the self leveling suspension, you may be fine. You can get on kia/telluride forums and find people are towing trailers of almost this exact size once they have a 7 pin harness and brake controller installed. You can expect an array of answers on this topic. I suspect many will say this is too much trailer for a Telluride.
David, I tow a GeoPro 20BHS with a BMW X6. I have a 6000 pound towing capacity and 600 tongue weight limitation. I use the Eco brake controller and a weight distribution hitch. I see no problem towing the 16bh e pro with a telluride as long as you stay within your 5000/500 limits. I prefer to stay at ⅔ of the limit. My trailer is 3650 dry and I’m at 4K loaded with no water.

I’m looking at an epro bunk vs a GeoPro BH. I can’t find many differences. What am I missing?

They are the exact same and built in the same plant. The only difference is graphics and interior fabric colors. There are no quality differences.
On the wall construction, I understand EPro has 'Azdel' material that's laminated under the vacuum bonding method. Question: Is this Azdel material on the outside AND the inside? Or is it Azdel outside and luan inside?
Unlike most manufacturers using Azdel, we at Flagstaff use it for both the exterior and interior panel.
@@ForestRiverInc Excellent. One more reason to choose an E-Pro 19FD
How much is the e19fd?

Please reach out to your local dealer for a quote on this unit: forestriverinc.com/rvs/travel-trailers/flagstaff-e-pro/E19FD/3557
Do E-Pro trailers have shore power connections? I was looking at the 19rd model and I didn't see any mention of shore power connections. Thanks
Yes, they have a shore power connection.
Is a gas/120V refrigerator an option instead of the 12V version? If yes, how much extra does it cost?
that single solar panel seems very limited. are there any factory options to upgrade?
The solar panel at the time this video was shot was a 100W panel but we are now installing a 190W panel. The roof solar port can accept more solar panels to expand the system on either.
Also, the factory installed 30 amp charge controller can handle up to 600W of solar

what model is that jeep cherokee trailhawk towing?
That is the E19FBS.
@@ForestRiverInc I was hoping it was the 20bhs since I've been wondering if it can tow it :). Thanks for the info

We have a 2021 Telluride with the towing package, can it handle the 16bh e-pro?

I bought something else. Would have one of these if they had two axles.
Never showed the inside. Fail.

This seems to be a non- model specific video, and they did show interior shots several times.
