For better travel access to the kitchen & bathroom, take the 2 cushions off the dinette table and tip the table up on it's long side and tuck it in behind little supports that hold the table up when it's in bed mode. Then you can step over the corner of the bench to get around the counter.
Stunning, how much?
Holy moly, the crew over at rockwood is doing some serious nose snow. The 2509s is even better now with that rear cargo door, they just keep adding making it better. Now take another bump and include a silicon pop sink to make use if that outdoor sprayer
With that griddle on the side I’d pop that stove top out and run a little sink in that pup out
Nose snow lol
I was looking for something that’s kind of in between the Geo pro 20bh and the alpha wolf 29bh. This seems to be it at 25 ft !
Very nice. How much weight do the bunk beds hold
Such a classic made better, wish they could fix the pass through!
The table does flip side ways and then you are able to pass through. It is shown in someone else’s video.
Good afternoon, Dave. One or two questions: I like the 12 volt 32 inch TV. But is there a DVD player built into the TV? The older 2509S had a DVD player built into the radio display behind the kitchen cabinets. Does the bathroom window open? In the older unit it did not. Is there an option for one (or two) additional 200 watt solar panels on the roof? Can a second Maxxair fan be installed in the forward ceiling vent? I do like the new rear storage access door. And the redesigned bathroom vanity and mirror is superb. That was a sore point on the older unit with many reviewers. And the change over from carpet to a flooring is excellent! All in all, I'm still planning on 2025. So have Rockwood keep making those improvements!!
Hello Glen!
The 12V TV does not include a DVD player, so there is no longer a DVD player included in the Minis.
The bathroom window does not open.
There is for sure the option for a 2nd 200W Solar Panel. I am about 95% sure you could also get a 3rd one installed from the factory due to the fact that this is one of two Minis (the other being the 2205S) that comes with the Power Package option that includes 3 - 200W panels. Rockwood should be able to do the 3rd one without a problem, but it would require the dealer to make a special request to their Rep to include that in the build.
A 2nd Maxxaire fan and cover can be installed in the front vent from the factory.
I'm excited to see what a 2025 will look like. This is such a popular model; I can't imagine them dropping it in the next few years.
@@RousseausRVWalkthroughs Thank you, Dave!
@@RousseausRVWalkthroughs The MasterVolt power package comes with 5 - 200 watt panels.
Just brought mine home , Monday can’t wait to take on our 1k mile trip to Florida!
@@vincegutierrez3780 Please report back on the features. Did you get the Power Package?
What could they potentially make better for the 2024/2025? Any guesses? An outdoor sink would be awesome and why do you suppose they don't have one installed currently?
lower price.
Wondering if you will be carrying Ember overland units and No Boundaries overland units with max solar packages?
At this time we are carrying Rockwood and Gulfstream travel trailers. Unfortunately we will not be able to get those brands you listed. Good luck in your search!
Hi!
Can you stream video from phone to this tv-like a smart Tv?
How long will the fridge run off the battery?
I don't believe you can stream videos from your phone to this tv. The bluetooth capability allows you to play audio from your phone or other bluetooth devices.
The fridge/battery question has a lot of potential variables. Is the solar panel generating any power? Are you running anything else off the battery? Using one battery or two? What type of battery?
If you weren't generating any power from the solar panel, which is certainly true when parked in a heavily shaded area, the fridge would likely drain one 12V RV/Marine battery in about 48 - 72 hours. They use the most power in the first 2 hours they're turned on as they get to temperature. Once they reach the set temp, their energy consumption drops significantly. But if you were generating even some power from the solar panel, even on a cloudy day or in partial shade, it would extend this life significantly. Add a second battery, and it's even more so. Add a second solar panel and it's even better.
We recommend two batteries to our customers who plan to use their Geos without electric hookups.
In the future could you point out what outlets are inverted. That’s a big deal for me.
Some RVs come now with an inverter. I wish ours had that feature.
Hoe big is that rear cargo door opening?
I need the power package-upgrades battery and lots of solar…(in Tampa)
Power package is available on this model. 5- 200W Solar, 3000W inverter, 13.5k Soft Start AC and 400AH lithium battery. The option is an additional $11,900
Does the mattress bend when folded up?
The mattress does not bend. It all goes up as one whole mattress.
Can you get it with the power package?
As far as the 2023 Rockwoods, yes, this 2509S could be ordered with the Power Package. When we get the official announcement on what’s new on the 2024’s we will know if that is still the case. It is very likely that it will still have the power package option.
I recently bought this trailer and i cannot express how much i hate that table. Imagine 3 kids eating cereal on a wobbly table and setting a cup of coffee down on it. It is unreal how wobbly that table is. Other than my passionate hatred towards the table i like the rest of the trailer.
Have you tried tightening the little foot pads on the table? Sometimes those get loose and lead to a wobbly table.
I’m glad you like the rest of it!
Don’t like going over bed to get to bathroom
