I was really excited to see this little 19FBS Rockwood Geo Pro roll thru today as it's outfitted with a few options you don't always see displayed on our channel! Sometimes it's nice to know WHAT ELSE is available out there!
No matter how you equip them, though, Rockwood's mini travel trailers are loaded up and feature-packed with more standard features than nearly anything else anywhere close to this class.
HIGHLY under-appreciated I think is that factory TPMS on the larger sport tire package. The peace of mind and potential safety it brings you is worth its weight and then some. Rockwood also recently improved their flooring in these little Azdel ultralites which I feel has also improved the overall integrity of the RV's structure as a whole. If you want a good house, then start with a good foundation!
If you're seeking something similar or perhaps larger, then you'll enjoy...

*IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION: Got my notes screwed up -- THIS Geo is a 60" x 80" True Queen which I stated incorrectly in the video!!*
*ALSO!!... I seem to be full of errors. This one has 50gal fresh tank. I have NO idea how i managed to goof that one up and apologize for the confusion!*
Specs show it has 31 gallon fresh tank. Has Rockwood upped the size of the fresh tank and not changed their specs yet?
Thanks uncle Josh for clarification on the bed size we have one coming next week and the regular…residential?….Queen bed is a must have for us sleeping sideways and all.stay warm up there!
Yeah... I thought I remembered reading a 60x80 but you're the pro ...
Yep Im 6ft 4 so I need a real bed lol
I for one think it's a great idea that you show what it's like with the slide in! Most other demo's I've watched do not do it or just try and make you guess what it looks like. Anyone that's not just a weekend warrior and plans on doing some traveling is going to need to know this.
All based on viewer feedback. MOST of what I do is stuff people ask me to cover. Appreciate knowing what you like seeing and don't hesitate to let me know how we can improve!
@@JoshtheRVNerd I'm glad that you show it with the slides in too. Thank you. 🙂
Absolutely correct!! If I'm on the fly I'd like to know I can squeeze my not so skinny derriere in and out of there without having to open up the whole dealy Bob.
2:05 I love the way the bike rack looks there in the front.
I’m in Minnesota and would use a trailer off-grid in fall and winter, so really like the idea of a gas oven for more hot food options to keep warm. They don’t need to come standard, but I appreciate that Rockwood offers that option. (Take notes on that one, Jayco and Ember.)
If someone is planning to do some off grid camping an extra panel, a gas oven and another battery would be nice to have.
All are available thankfully! Thx Sir :)
@@JoshtheRVNerd Rockwood has announced their new lithium battery 3000w inverter, 570w solar package. It will add hitch weight but it is located under the front bed.
@@icare7151 hope it comes to the ultra lites too! Woo hoo
@@icare7151 I haven't heard that for rockwood. Ember offers that.
@@bdydrppup Rockwood and it’s twin Flagstaff just announced their new system. I know it is not available on the Geo Pro 19fd floor plan.
Click on below link and look at my I Care comments and you will see Flagstaff’s reply to me with all the details from my many questions:

I wish these were around 40 years ago when I was camping with my kids. That fridge is huge compared to my pop up camper fridge. 😁
lol I cut my teeth on popups here. I know what you mean :)
Jenny said it because you said it in the first video for this camper about the door lock!
And I will say it again!!
I just couldn't take my eyes off that shade in the window on the door, it's a thing of beauty!
It’s the little things
One roof two roof
roof roof roof. . .
Another episode of the Josh's Rockwood Comedy show! Thanks Josh! Yep off grid is not equal to off road!
When Rockwood comes up with a rated 4 season, outdoor kitchen, removable table & chairs, dumps the mircowave and puts in the space for the E.L. 360 annnd a bath with space for stack washer/dryer, shower with tub (even the mini tub), an installed generator (besides being solar prepped) a reg or queen bed and have storage like back in the day (that actually worked) and i will take Rockwood more seriously.
Thanks, now I can stop humming the song... lol
Another great video.
You're welcome lol :)
We have the 19fd version of this trailer, we love it. I love the idea of the induction burner.
Ty
You better get those foot prints off of the roof of my camper. I'm coming up there to get this sweet camper!😊
Good news: I can guarantee I have not walked on the roof of your camper
Because this one was already spoken for 😆
Wonderful, like it, just need a place for a coffee maker. 😉
Neat little trailer, everything you need, nothing you don't.
Yeah they pack a LOT into a little space on these
HILARIOUS INTRO!!!! I just never know what you’re going to do next!!! Hahahahahaha!!🤣🤣
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Good call-out on Jenny! loved that!!!
:)
Nice TT. Thanks for sharing Josh👍👍
Make sure to call that name and number off the wall ;)
This is really nice. This is added to the list to possibilities.
You're likely aware Jayco makes a layout like this: bit.ly/3w0M7GA
Actually Catalina does as well! bit.ly/3oOAAqu
Jenny and I used to go camping, but her phone never stopped ringing. Drove me nuts.
She needed that new "auto spam filter" feature on her cell phone lol
Think about it -- that song COULD NOT WORK in today's world lol
I do like seeing the slide open and closed, it helps to get an idea how much space is created and how that affects the outside dimensions. I also like the convection microwave, I don't bake much at home and don't think I use an oven much in a travel trailer, though I got to admit the extra warmth and the smell of cinnamon rolls cooking on a cool morning is hard to beat. Love the Geo Pro and Mini Lite series, they are hard to beat.
Yeah Rockwood had Mini Lites really dialed in. They sort of "wandered" for a few seasons. Then all the sudden.. BAM! They started nailing it..
But not JUST mini lites. Look at what they've done in their fifth wheels. All at once the pieces all fell into place.
To me the ideal length for a travel trailer is the 20 to 25 class, done right they have enough room for your stuff and spend a rainy day in, Rockwood, Jayco and Cougar make some nice 30ish foot fifth wheels. that one Rookwood with the breakfast bar is really nice.
I believe a convection microwave will let you bake cinnamon rolls....
Ever since you made your video of trailer names said wrong, I find myself doing it at the beginning of your videos for you lol
Lol It’s harder than it looks, isn’t it?
Josh if it had an oven and a fireplace under the tv, I know storage is a premium in campers but I would prefer the fireplace.
Both of those I think you’d actually be accomplished. The oven is a factory option and I have seen some amazing stuff people have done on their RVs in owners forms. If you were willing to sacrifice the closet below the TV, and there’s definitely room there for something
Josh's description of the Geo Pro roof always reminds me of the cargo doors on the space shuttle 😀
...is.. is that a GOOD thing?
I suppose if you want to launch a satellite, probably not very practical while boondocking 🤣
Yes I care about showing the slide in and out from the outside. I saw that this particular slide did not have side windows. I guess I might have noticed that earlier inside as well, but it was nice to see the slide out from the outside.
TY. I'll see if I can work it in more often sometime
YooHoo - door shade!!! Rock....Would!
;)
The last two used Geo Pros I've looked at the cheap paneling they used in the bathroom instead of some type of plastic enclosure where delaminating. I also noticed there's just no countertop space.
Could have been the care of the previous owners too.
Fun fact: I used to work at the factory that produced the mounting brackets for that handrail, among other components for the RV industry. Every time you stand in front of one of those rails, I want to say something but I always get distracted by the rest of my comments. 🤣
Really?! That’s cool. You figure all those things have to come from somewhere!!
@@JoshtheRVNerd yup. And it's why I totally understand all the supply chain issues faced by every industry right now. We only made the brackets here in Grand Rapids, who knows where the rest of the components were made! So when you mention about how ladders are hard to come by, I'm not at all surprised. 😩
Love this one! If it was just me and the wife, I'd be all about this.
LOL, my wife says the exact same stuff! "I'll bag your trash!" was her latest. 🤣
As far as the appliances, I've always camped in tents, so I've never used any cooking appliance other than a campfire or portable gas cooktop. I'm sure I'd find a use for either an oven or a convection microwave, but right now I couldn't pick between either one!
haha that's your best shower selfie yet, and I've watched a few of these videos!
I just looked at my wife and in a sassy tone let our “I’ll BAG *your* trash” and without a moment of hesitation she fired back “not if you know what’s good for you!”
@@JoshtheRVNerd lmao I just told my wife that, and she said "that's right girl, you tell him!" 🤣
I have a little oven in my Apex and it could be used for some extra pots and pans storage when not in use but I have baked in mine.... Campfire breakfast with hot biscuits out of the oven, I'm all about it.
Love the bike rack!!
Ironically.. they've removed it from their options sheet right after this landed as they just can't get them from their suppliers
A very functional layout for such a compact trailer! Josh, any ideas on where you could put a CPAP machine, other than on the couch? Thanks!
One of these under the edge of the bed
www.amazon.com/dp/B07TTFBC3Y/ref=cm_sw_r_fm_apa_i_8.R3DbQ5ECVS1?fbclid=IwAR2lkybdXh7w4k0mIOKukk3smjEOF2zIEKESLuWepJZ0RI1b_9Y1ZQNj2Lc
I like the oven option - gravy and biscuits is camp breakfast food. I do a mix of campgrounds and off grid camping...my campground camping is off peak season because I like being able to have no neighbors lol.
BRB -- gotta go camping with Gnomie
I have a Omnie oven that you use in the stovetop to take care of biscuit baking. The storage where the oven would be is nice.
Really cool little trailer.
TY!!
I've had 3 RVs with gas ovens. I have never used it for its intended purpose. I use it for pan stora5.
Same
Just to clarify...As I live in Oregon, the pot I store in there is used for cooking not getting baked..lol
Josh, towing question for this TT: The vehicle has a tow package that says max is 3500 lbs. I know I can get this Geo Pro down to 3200 curb weight when towing, with a 350 lb tongue weight (I don't use propane, so those tanks go). So shouldn't my tow vehicle be able to tow this at a max of 55MPH? (And tow vehicle weighs 4400 lbs.). And BTW, would only trust to buy this TT from a Bish's because of you. Thanks!
This might be the one for me. Glad I have a few months before I have to make my final decision. I am moving from tent camping to getting a camper.
I do all of my camping in state parks and all of my cooking outdoors over the fire or camping stove. I would prefer a cabinet instead of a microwave or oven.
A microwave delete would be an interesting option I think could be cool
Coleman Mach makes a 9430-725 AC cover that's digital, has Bluetooth, and optional heat. I'd definitely recommend upgrading that when you purchase your Geo Pro. That way you can select a specific temperature and it'll maintain that setting whereas the stock unit basically runs and runs
Cute as a button. I'm on the oven vs microwave team as well for better off grid capability.
Kinda wish microwave was actually optional on these..
@@JoshtheRVNerd Yeah cuz that would make a great storage area above the fridge...like a mini pantry.
NOOO!! We were there yesterday trying to decide between this and the Apex 194bhs. We’re still back and forth. You and Jesse gave us great insight on both!!
This camper isn't here, Lori. Else we would've just let you know it's coming
This is a camper we HAD here and I pre-recorded. I'm just FINALLY getting the video out
We always have more coming of course :)
No no, I totally understand it’s not there. I was just saying no because by this morning I was hoping we finally decided to go with the Apex, then we seen the Geopro video, then we thought well…maybe we should stick with the Geopro 😂 It’s a hard decision because they both seem like a great pick and we’re so back and forth!
@@loriasztalos2528 God it :)
They could've put a bigger tv in there. I'd say at least a 36" with a better full motion bracket.
I may have missed it, but can the sofa be substituted for recliners or a reclining sofa?
Swapping the sofa to those types of seats is not possible with the space in that slide. The slide doesn't go down to the floor (you can see that outside) so recliners are an instant no-go
Not enough space for theater/reclining sofa as a result either.
I might have a bit of an option here for you though: bit.ly/3J4FxUC
Thx Josh!! I really appreciate your analogy of this trailer as I have been keeping my eye on this model for a while. I really like the layout and the use of space,!! My question is in comparison to, yep,Jay feather micros; what is your opinion?? My greatest observation is that Jay feather is heavier.. however, is it sturdier?? You have mentioned you are impressed with this model and it's quality so I'm curious about that. Is one a bit easier to pull over the other; noting micros are a bit wider. I am also curious mostly about the heated underbelly of the jayfeather versus the heated pads they put on geopro. So if I extend my camping season it's not just about my tanks it's about my plumbing. I'm more concerned if the GoPro could freeze up. Whereas with heated underbelly on a Jay feather micro... Maybe not so much.??. That's actually a question. So... Could you comment please kind sir. Thank you.
They overlap pretty hard on a venn diagram, but they're not interchangeable. I don't have a preference for one over the other. They're on an even keel -- just depends on what you'd prefer to accomplish
I will give Rockwood the nod for better fit and finish
Jay Feather's bigger body and taller ceiling are nice
Rockwood is lighter weight
But the Feather has more Storage and space
For every thing one does better the other can match with a different "yeah well I do THIS better!"
It's a sweet little camper, I can't find anything wrong with it. But being diabetic I "need" to be able to put my legs up as my fluids tend to pool in my ankles. Why I'm so adamant about having theater seating instead of a couch. So as sweet as it is I'd have to up grade to the mama bear size with the theater seating. But man its cute as a bug. I really like it.
That's where the handy cube-things from Jayco's version of this come in: bit.ly/3w0M7GA
Good Review! Do you need a cover for the windshield to protect from rocks or bugs?
Generally speaking, no. Some folks have added them though
Definitely would love a receiver hitch so i could bring my honda trail 90 with me😊
Nice rig.
Petty much the same as last year but I don’t think they needed to change much on this one
I would love the cup holder table inserts that some other theater seats have. And getting rid of half of the shelf above the bathroom sink would be nice. It would feel larger.
So some extra info on those -- Jayco basically has some kind of patent or exclusivity or something. Unless you change them somehow you'd have to pay Jayco a royalty to use them on another brand
Hey Josh, My wife and I really like the Geo Pro/E-Pro 19FBS. In past videos you have mentioned some manufacturers not putting out very good products during Covid. Should we look for a used pre Covid 19FBS, or did Rockwood continue to produce a good product throughout? Thanks for your honesty! I tied to find a 2023 video to comment on, but didn’t see one. Lol
Rockwood actually improved during that period and has become a multi time consecutive gold level RVDA dsi award winner
I will never claim any of them are perfect, but they really pulled together during a challenging time
@@JoshtheRVNerd Thanks so much Josh! This helps out so much!
BEST intro!🤣🤣🤣
:)
The issue with the 2 burners vs 3 is that you can't really fit 2 pans or pots on the 2 burner at one time. It's too crowded. In the 3 burner you can use the diagonal burner or use a griddle and a pan at the same time.
That's a solid point! TY!
Hi Josh - Great videos! Your the best! Question - if I keep the RV plugged into 120v at home in my driveway, will this keep the batteries charged?
Yes
@@JoshtheRVNerd Thanks Josh! Appreciate the quick response.
Jennie rocks....
That is actually the number to a car dealership in my hometown
We are from Indiana, and we prefer a oven💞
TY Erin! :)
I need one like this.. Altho the bottom isn't enclosed is there anyway to get this for full time 4 season living ?
That’s not something you can apply to a trailer like this unfortunately Judy. The good news is you could just move when it got cold pretty easily!!
I have one and it is a full Queen !!!
You're spot on. I seem to be FULL of errors on this one... *sigh*
funny, we have never used the oven and rarely use the cooktop! we very rarely cook inside the trailer. i'm an outdoor chef!
Stuff tastes better on the fire. I don’t know the science. It’s just facts.
Yeah, that very low-hanging spare tire really concerns me. Would be nice if it was mounted low on the back wall.
I for one would like to see an induction burner replace the propane altogether. I think with a few alterations (ahem, lithium Rockwood?) the GeoPro line could go all electric, similar to the Palomino Revolve EV series.
It’s not impossible but it would bring with it a sizeable price change
I could almost see them offering “all electric” as an optional build or perhaps specialized series
I have been looking at the Geo-Pro/E-Pro series. You mention a 54" wide bed in this one. The catalog for these says the 19FBS has a 60"x80" bed. Are you sure about your number or is the catalog wrong?
QUITE possible I'm wrong. I've biffed that before. I'd want someone to tape measure it to verify
00:35 30 gallon TRAY Tank ??
yeah. I have no idea either. Just moving too quickly over here.
I like the 3 burner even if only 2 are used. More space for the pans/pots. The 2 burners are always cramped. What's with the open space above that bathroom door. No good. This 19FBS is by far my favorite RV for my wife and I. These smaller Geo Pro's are known to fall apart while doing the road earthquake.....and I would still consider it for it's style and layout. Just a beautiful looking little thing. I think relabeling these so they're not considered off road is a very wise decision. Have they addressed some of the build issues like the cabin bolts/nuts loosening from the trailer frame? I CANT BELIEVE THIS TRAILER HAS A 30 GALLON "TRAY" ;)
lol i gotta do better about proofreading for typos. I'm completely out of ideas as to how i pulled that one off.
I think you may enjoy our geo pro factory tour here bit.ly/3HFiFep
They've made some improvements based on user experience to keep things rolling solidly
I'll never claim any RV is perfect, but Rockwood never seems to sit on their hands
Jenny dont lose that number!!
;)
RUFUS is the word you were looking fer!!
😆
Hey Josh, tell Jenny I’ve got her number, I need to make her mine, don’t change her number.
Totes agree with you on the mom thing. My wife is the same way.
Cool that all the outlets are on the inverter. It looks like the tv space could fit a bigger tv. I’d rather see that and eliminate the stereo and speakers. On that size, I’d say the convection micro makes more sense then a full oven. Interesting idea on the two gas burners and an electric induction one. A lot of European caravans have a combo electric/propane hob.
Told her. She asked "Who can I turn to?"
@@JoshtheRVNerd Well done, Josh, well done. 👏
Hey Josh! I'm looking at the 16BH and wondering if the solar can run the ac unit? Plan to do some serious boondocking. I guess a generator in the truck bed is also an option.
No. Not on the standard build. BUT...
Rockwood did just announce their "Power Package" which will be capable of doing that for a short time
You have to understand, though, A/C units require serious power. You CAN get them to run on battery power, but not for long before you deplete your energy reserves
If indefinite function is your preference, then you can get a portable inverter generator for less than the cost of a big solar package that's A/C capable
@@JoshtheRVNerd thanks so much Josh appreciate it!! Generator it is!
man I like the geo pro, it has everything you need. but I still think the ember is topping the list.
If money was not part of the equation, then I think most people would be making it rain on Ember by comparison
BUT... there's a *significant* budget gap and a hefty weight difference that are huge "make or break" factors I think
Another great looking unit Josh and it would also look good with an American flag flying on the rear ladder😁❤🇺🇲
Wouldn't they all? :)
@@JoshtheRVNerd absolutely 👍❤🇺🇲
Do the geo pro with slide outs have a manual override incase the electric motor/actuator fail?
Yes. I'm not aware of a slide system w/o an override
@@JoshtheRVNerd on a different manufacturer the Jayco slx 7 don't have an override at least thats what an jayco dealer told me
A ladder, a TV, a porcelain toilet and drawer guides on their large drawers! Are you listening Cherokee🤔A standard solar package to complement the 12 volt fridge! A nice lighter decor that isn’t farmhouse! A convection microwave to offset the lack of an oven! A comfortable sofa instead of a dinette👍 And I know it’s necessary, but the only real downer is that impossible to make east west bed☹️
If Cherokee had Rockwood's budget/invoice, then I'm sure they'd do those things too :)
Regarding the bed.. have you seen this one's N/S bed sister? bit.ly/329tBke
@@JoshtheRVNerd I'm not sure what you mean by invoice and budget, but I'm just basing my opinion on $40,000 plus stick and tin Cherokee trailers that do not offer any of these standard features☹️☹️☹️
I don't know if it's just the perspective of them in a smaller camper, but I'm pretty sure the front side windows in this GeoPro 19FBS are significantly larger than the same windows in the bigger Mini Lite 2109?? What's with that Rockwood?
It may be the comparative/relative sizes of a 7ft body vs. the Mini's 8ft body
Do these come standard with trailer brakes?
Yes. Any trailer over 2500lbs is federally required to have them
Jenny Jenny who can I turn to?
That trailer would look good in Two Tone wouldn't it Tommy.
Yeah but Rockwood's no one-hit wonder :)
I would prefer a oven. I like to bake.
Geopro is good but I still prefer the Ember for here in Minnesota.
Both are great in their own little ways
If money was no object it’s tough to beat those embers
But the weight on a Geo definitely opens doors to more towing vehicles
😁😁👍👍👍👍👍ouiiiii sai celle la que je veux mon copin 😂😂papy guy france
Lol … great song and phone #
Patrick gets it :)
FYI, Wifi Ranger no longer sells the upgrade package. With factory installed Wifi Ranger you are stuck with the basic system.
Well crap. I didn't catch that update. Thank you for this
@@JoshtheRVNerd I called to check on a upgrade and the said too many customers were getting leaks after installing the upgrade package. So they were discontinued.
Lol! Love that song 🤣
What would be a good camper for 5 people with solar to boondocks?
There’s too many variables to wing an answer at you Terry. To really be able to give you specific suggestions someone on our team would need to get to know how you plan to camp a little better. Please drop our team a note at www.haylettautoandrv.com/contact/
Rockwood needs to up their game and start using thermal pane windows. They are better suited for cold weather camping because they don't collect condensation like these single pane windows do.
Something not commonly understood is RVs rarely use actual thermal pane windows. Dual pane is uncommon even in this class -- even then they're not a gas charged thermal pane window.
They offer nearly no R-value improvement going from an R0.7 to an R1.09 only
They certainly show less condensation but they don't actually solve the problem of removing the humidity from the air. If condensation is a concern, then a dehumidifier is truly the answer.
Where they are truly nice is reducing the noise inside of the RV though they are very expensive by comparison
Josh I see Rockwood is offering a Mastervolt 3000 watt inverter with 400ah battery with 3 go power solar panels on some of their Geo Pros. Have you heard about pricing ?
Not yet. They're always slow to get dealers info like that. I've been asking for details on that "Nomad" package or whatever they're calling it to no avail quite yet
@@JoshtheRVNerd Seen it on the 20fbs page, its "THE POWER PACKAGE". Looks interesting, now it lacks price and if only one Li-on battery can handle a 12V fridge, for at least a couple days....
another climb over queen- any chance of getting a N-S queen?
What you're seeing a symptom of the size of the camper. Can a N/S bed be done? Absolutely. The RV just needs to be bigger to make it happen.
There's models like this Geo Pro bit.ly/329tBke that are long enough to fit the feature
And of course a massive world of campers just slightly larger that consistently have the room needed for a walk around bed bit.ly/3CpYtdw
Is the solar charger compatible with lithium batteries? Will it charge a battle born battery all the way up?
I JUST got clarity on this *yesterday* from Rockwood
The converter on the RV will get them up to 80%
The solar system can get them up the rest of the way
@@JoshtheRVNerd awesome, thanks Josh
Does Rockwood or any other manufacturer has a study of how long the batteries last with the 12V fridge and the different solar packages offered from factory? One vs two 190W panels, 1 vs 2 100W batteries...
I have seen a few but nothing I think represents accurate real world use. There’s so many variables that it’s difficult to get good info
Even these geos - I have seen people say the batteries last a short while. I have seen people say they last a weekend
But nobody ever gives any details on weather, usage, battery type, amp hours, etc
someday
Nice intro. It earns you 10 extra boomer points.
Edit: OK, you redeemed yourself with the Rock-Would. 😂😂😂
"boomer points" lol
First time i've ever heard of those :)
Can the solar be doubled and a 3000 watt inverter be installed with lithium batteries as an upgrade add on?
Solar can be doubled from the factory
But the inverter work and batteries we'd need to tackle for you
Also keep in mind the converter on this will charge lithiums to 80%
They rely on the solar controller to get them the rest of the way
@@JoshtheRVNerd so it is possible to convert it to full off grid, just after market work needed.
I have a 2022 g19fbs and my fresh water tank is 31 gallons. The bed is a full queen. The underbelly is enclosed.
Yeah I mis-stated the fresh capacity. Apologies. Too many trailer coming at me too quickly. And I was also incorrect on the bed. I'll have to investigate the belly enclosure. That's not something these were capable of having before but REALLY exciting to hear!
@@JoshtheRVNerd as it turns out, I am wrong about the enclosed underbelly. I was trusting what the dealer told me when ordering. And, also the service tech when it arrived, since, at my age I don't tend to crawl on the ground to look under things.
Is there a model of the Geo pro that has bunks as well or did they quit making those?
16bh, 19bh and 20bhs
As Joshua Gil said they’re definitely still being made. Here’s the most popular of them:
19BH: m.ua-cam.com/video/2tm7RgdBrxA/v-deo.html
20BHS: m.ua-cam.com/video/NIY6kw196OI/v-deo.html
Would a nissan frontier sv 4x4 handle this camper?
With tow pkg should be fine
Love me my geopros. Even though ours is gone now. The newer ones are even better with the sealed countertops. Any idea on when they will start selling their ultra boondocking model? I suggest they call it the expedition package! And give me a discount on one!
They JUST announced that power package today in fact. A few final details are getting sorted out and we will be able to get the info out!!
@@JoshtheRVNerd seriously though, manufacturers should get with some lithium iron phosphate battery cell suppliers in China and start sourcing more affordable battery packs for their RVs. Would probably lead to cheaper packs than the ones from Battleborn. More than twice the capacity for half the price!!!! Also an opportunity to incorporate cells into RV design or create modular options. I think I also put this/ along with other things on the ember video but I don't think it took.
The Geo Pro brochure says they all come with the low profile roof A/C. What do you tell your customers when they ask, why does this trailer have the standard taller A/C unit? Will Rockwood replace the the A/C unit with the correct one when they become available?
I’m curious about this, as well…since I’d like to have the lowest possible height for the trailer. I’d also like to see a shorter maxxair fan cover.
I've mentioned it in other videos. Must've forgotten on this one
It's a supply issue. Low-Profile IS the target. But if they're unable to acquire them they grab standard size air units
Unfortunately as a dealer I have zero visibility of what units will be affected until arrival
If total height is a concern we'd naturally measure up for a client
@@JoshtheRVNerd thanks Josh! does the low profile lower the 9’10”height?
@@joshuagill5472 I'm sure it'll drop the tallest point but I don't know by how much nor do I know what the next tallest object would be
Thanks Josh. I have the 20 bhs and the maxxair fan cover and ac are pretty much same height, so I’d have to get the lower vent cover too. Really appreciate your responses. I’m in PA, went to Ohio to get my Geo Pro. I wouldn’t hesitate to get my next one from you if you are any indication of your dealership’s customer service.
11:42 now you’re cooking with gas❗️AND electricity ⚡️ 😉 I like that idea very much 💡 🙌🏽
Question, how easy would it to be to switch over to a dry flush toilet?
Also, I don’t know much but I know that when we buy our RV, our GenX RVLife is buying it from you my friend!
That’s something I know nothing about unfortunately and I won’t make up an answer just to try to look cool
I would rather tell you “I don’t know but we can find out together”
@@JoshtheRVNerd thanks, we appreciate your honesty and all the information we have learned from watching your videos! Your the coolest Kat in the RV selling world my friend👍🏻
17:17 slides out on the outside helps to show if they block access to anything (more so on Class A Motorhomes) but sometimes access to the dump valves, etc. may be more difficult 🤷🏽♂️
I would like to see you do an rv walk through but incorporate "hot ones" wing sauces in it. Separate the video into 10 segments 1 for wing/sauce.
I would volunteer to do it with you...
What does easily the most random comment I’ve received today and frankly… For that reason alone I’m all about it lol
@@JoshtheRVNerd I think it would add an odd humor, trying to speak through your detailed explanations while, well whatever your tolerance is for hot wings would be I guess...in my head I think it'd be informative and hilarious
Hey Josh, Can you get the 19BHS with that sofa instead of the damn crapy seating?
Sorry -- 19BHS isn't a geo pro model.
Did you mean 19BH? Or perhaps 20BHS? Those currently only offer a booth. But I see Jayco and Ember starting to offer some sofa options by request!
@@JoshtheRVNerd , my bad... Yes, the "20BHS". Sorry. :) I have a 1500 2017 Dodge ProMaster that would be pulling it. Those other 2 I think would be a little to heavy, am I right?
@@richardstamper51 yeah I would agree. The extra bulk on those would make them not good pairings.
I think if I had ordered this, i would have requested the microwave below the stove top, if that was an option.
I love that idea and would if they offered it. Sadly they do not.
Gotta be old to get the 867-5309 joke.🤣
not sure what you mean. I found that name and number on a wall _cough_
according to the forest rivers web page all tanks are 30 gallon... the jaco spoof has a 50gallon fresh... I have a 2020 19fbs the only thing I would truly changes is the tank size I would make them much bigger ... but when I asked why they dont make them bigger is bc most SUVs can't handle the added weight... when I used the tongue scale fully loaded for a 2 week trip i was at 705lb fully loaded.
I do wish the charge controllers was not hidden when in road mode...
the the new change control also can't handle alof of solar input the 2022 is a 380watts vs the 2020 at 600watts..
It's 30 fresh. Thank you. I have to find a way to slow down on some of this stuff. Those are just little errors resulting from moving too darn fast
TY again
So did anyone get your Tommy TuTone reference?
You're the first to mention it which makes me sad
But Glad at least SOMEONE got it! :)
