    I actually *appreciate* the Full size bed in this. It is a STANDARD Full size, NOT a wonky nonsense “camp queen”. That means you can buy bedding at an normal store AND that you can replace the mattress with any normal one you want, without being limited to RV-specific things. For that reason I think you should actually call out that it is a legitimate Full size as a positive, rather than your kind of dismissive “more like a full size” comment - it actually IS a Full, NOT a “camp queen” LIKE a Full, and that’s a very useful and important distinction.

    Uncle Josh, while I get enamored with high(er) end RV`s, most of my attention is geared towards more affordable models for obvious reason and this one I like a lot!!!! Many great features and yes I prefer the 3 burner cook top and oven. I would rather have a two bowl sink but it wouldn`t be a deal breaker. Nice size and weight for an expanded series of tow vehicles. Smart layout. Consider me a big fan of this one.

    Hey Rockwood,
    I’d turn this particular Geo
    into something akin to
    Embers 191MSL. *w/my
    following mods.
    1) Nix the bathtub and the dopey in the way sink in it.
    -Sink is too high for kids
    and in the way for adults.
    **A railed, radius top, shower curtain with the largest shower pan possible
    is the way to go here.
    **If a no-touch on/off faucet
    is added to the kitchen, and
    a simple step stool is used
    in front of the kitchen sink,
    kids (& others) can wash
    their hands without worry
    of cross contaminates.
    **Call it the ‘kid/option’
    and tack on $200 for no touch faucet & plastic stool.
    [breaking even for install
    labor by nixing the current,
    dopey in the tub/sink.]
    2)-I’d rather have a strutted,
    full storage chest under the
    bed, rather than the small
    drawers. I’d love to have a
    massive storage area under
    that bed for all my gear.
    **This would be a huge
    asset in such a small trailer.
    Put a fixed handle and beefy
    struts on it and away we go!
    3)-Love the oven as std.
    For off grid-campers, the
    microwave is the bread-box.
    4)- Please Rockwood…
    Switch to 3-Way fridges as
    standard.
    *Boondockers need
    propane, park campers
    need shore power hookups, and only careless cash
    crowd can FILL a trailer up
    with enough solar and batteries to power the rigs
    fridge & furnace.
    (& still not the micro or AC)
    -A two door, 3-way, fridge
    freezer satisfies us all, and
    standardises your build.
    **C’mon, will ya’? -Please??
    I like this geo Floor plan,
    no-slide & east/west bed,
    but seriously consider my
    mods above and,
    5)-Add The newest curt
    suspension found on the
    beast-mode nobo’s & Ember overlander’s would
    absolutely put lil’ geo into
    a whole new category, and
    hopefully add some CCC
    which is very much needed.
    -It’d be very cool, if Rockwood would turn this
    particular Geo w/my mods
    into a MSL-Type, off-road
    goer. (like/Ember 191MSL)
    *Could Nix the bunks,
    max the cargo, beef the
    suspension and add my mods, and this
    Geo would be outstanding!
    *It’d truly be a Geo-PRO!*
    These mods for this
    non-slide model would be
    excellent!
    -Ember is too expensive
    and doen’t offer ovens or
    some of the other qualities
    that Geo-Pro has going now.
    NOBO doesn’t offer ovens
    or have the build quality of
    Rockwood. NoBo’s has
    force heat their tanks, but
    they’re small, anyways…
    -You get the picture.
    Rockwood, you could fix the
    issues the other two mfgs
    didn’t do and cut into both
    by adding the Curt suspension and my interior
    mods to this unit.
    -Thanks for your attention.

      I would have to physically step into the shower with funky sink to see if it would work for me. I like the option of a tub. I am OK with the using the kitchen sink as long as it has a single handle which you can use your arm/back of wrist to turn on. I don't love the bunks but the way the flip up bottom bunk is helpful but I can see twisting out the back trying to load a regular bike, much less an E bike. I agree with the rest of the mods and I LOVE having a real oven. If someone wants a microwave they can buy a small cheap one, store in a drawer or tote bungied under the dinette.

    I have a 2021 GeoPro 16BH (LOVE IT) that my wife and I use as a couples camper with our 2 dogs (it's more like 3 dogs as one is a Swiss Mtn/Rottweiler mix). What I wish this 2023 had (1) Slide Out - It adds so much room for the 16BH. (2) Back window - It helps with lighting and ventilation.
    We opted not to get the oven and just got the convection oven (works great).
    The tiny handwashing sink would not work for us as my wife needs the vanity.
    I upgraded our furnace thermostat to a digital one. I'm glad they are doing that standard. It would be great if they could make one that controlled all the HVAC.
    They are so close on integrated automation. They need something like Alexa to tie everything together and add voice controls.
    You did not show the utility connections. Ours works, well, but the latch on the "Stinky Slinky" storage broke off of ours with slight use. I had to do my own Mod fix (which actually works better).
    Thanks for the videos. You helped us decide on our GeoPro purchase.

    I prefer a convection oven and a 2 burner cooktop. Weird I know, but as a solo camper, I like the east-west bed (A 54" bed is a full size bed no matter what the RV industry wants to call it). The sink in the tub is preferable to no sink at all. When I am showering, I would pop the shampoo & body wash in it for convenience. All in all, it seems like a good little trailer for the price.

  • @TonyYarusso
    @TonyYarusso Рік тому +1

    I like the new framing around the TV. The look doesn’t really matter to me, but it offers two pieces of *function* for me:
    1) Less likely for wrestling dogs to break the TV.
    2) Easy place to mount other accessories that might get fished through the same holes in the roof, like an amateur radio setup.
    I of course appreciate standardizing the oven, since that makes it easier to find what *I* want on a dealer lot. The new thermostat is a welcome update too, as is the fridge killswitch - that’s just smart.
    You are absolutely correct that the 2” accessory receiver hitch is brand new to G/E-Pros for 2023. I did see it called out on a sheet another dealer showed on camera. I’m still curious for confirmation of whether or not they still managed to include that on the 19FBTH - I would have guessed the toy hauler would exclude that, but their web site doesn’t say that, so maybe?
    A remaining little niggle on Rockwood is they still have only simple red-only taillights. They should swap those out for ones that also have a bright white backup light like Winnebago and Jayco use so you can see the campsite you’re backing into in the dark. It’d be an itty bitty expense increase for a BIG convenience payoff, especially for people traveling alone who have to rely largely on a backup camera and don’t have another person acting as a spotter walking around with a flashlight. I suppose the other nice upgrade would be slam latches on baggage doors - surprised they still have the cheapie turn latches on these.

    • @JoshtheRVNerd
      @JoshtheRVNerd  Рік тому +1

      The 19FBTH won't include a hitch I'm sure (though I haven't personally verified). I cannot recall seeing a MFG with a rear ramp door ever add a rear hitch. I'm sure SOMEONE has done it, but I've not seen it and wouldn't predict them to do it on that one.

    One thing I wish they would add is a shut off switch for the solar as they do with the battery. I had to reset the solar control panel and had to disconnect it from the batteries in order to do so. Caused a brief arc when I used my ratchet. AND, no. They have never come with a hitch receptacle.

    Love the oven & 3 burner range top. Wonderful kitchen for such a small trailer.
    On the whole, this is a great trailer.
    Only deal breaker is that climb-over camp queen: won't work for us at all.

    Don't need the bunks, but love the space for the cargo. Option for an induction cooktop (stowable) & convection m/w, losing the oven/3-burner.
    Honestly, a version w/o the bunks, slightly bigger loo, and maybe cargo nets for all of the upper cabinets...and the kitchen mods I mentioned - would lower the base weight and I could actually put stuff inside and stay in my tow weight realm. (or maybe there's another azdel-clad option that suits those requirements?)

    • @JoshtheRVNerd

      It's necessary to keep it within a target length. RVs this size can be triple shipped on a flat bed & have only one shipping cost to a dealer from a MFG spread across three models.
      In the midwest where these are built that's not a big deal, but to get these out west without $4,000 of shipping _per camper_ they have to keep them short
      They also make plenty of bigger models as well

    Excellent review as usual!
    I do have a general question regarding tongue weight. In an effort to reduce, or not add to, tongue weight, if I would load some items that would normally go into the front storage area into the bike rack storage area in order to add more balance, do you think that would make the unit less stable since the items would not be centered (although I guess I could make sure to add any items in opposite front and rear corners)? Although I will be using a weight distribution hitch, I am trying to reduce, and not add to, tongue weight as much as possible since my vehicle does sit somewhat low to the ground (minivan). I may be overthinking this. Thanks in advance for your feedback (others may have a similar question)!

    Not going to pull punches here, a full time bed in a microlite doesn't make sense. With seating basically limited to that tiny dinette area only, it's less than desirable. My suggestions would be a front C shaped dinette that mates to a sofa along that curbside wall. You could still accommodate the pass through storage and drawers but add plenty of seating options if you have friends over or are stuck inside on a rainy day. Just my 2 cents.

    I do like these GeoPro/EPro units (non-bunkhouse, though). I admit I prefer the green on the EPro over the orange on the GeoPro, although that wouldn't be a factor in buy/don't buy, for me. I wouldn't mind the bunks if they were like the Ember bunks that are height adjustable/removable (ie: perfect to convert into a desk and there's a big screened door you can open to look outside while you work). But the Ember is too dang heavy for my Frontier and too expensive for my budget. Two thumbs up for the oven. I definitely want that.
