2018 Geo Pro 19 FBS 2 Year Complete Review of Reliability
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- It's been over two years and 50,000 miles since Jason and Renee started their cross-country adventure. In this video, Jason takes you on a detailed walk-thru of their 2018 Geo Pro 19FBS and discusses the reliability and build quality after two years of full-time RVing.
Really good that this is a review of the Geo Pro used for purpose and full time. This is super relevant. Thanks for your time.
Luv it. Looking to get a 2024 FDS this week. Tx
Great review of a very nice trailer. Just stumbled upon it, but will check out your channel. Only point is regarding the "rv/marine" toilet paper. Good friends with a tissue maker and when I asked him what is the difference between RV toilet paper and regular home toilet paper. He replied the price and the packaging.... We have over 350 nights in our trailers since mid 2016 and have always used whatever we have on hand, or whatever the super market happens to have where ever we are. Never had an issue. I just let the black tank fill up and dump it when it needs dumping and never have an issue. Mind you we are not stationary much, with well over 30,000 miles in those 350 nights, so the shaking keeps things flowing too.... safe travels...
I also have a white Grand Cherokee and just put down a deposit on a Geo Pro as well. Going to be traveling full time and working remote as well. Very glad I found your channel.
Hey Chris, congrats on your new GP. I have the FD Model towing it w/ Toy 4Runner. Your Jeep will handle it great. If you get in Nor Cali give a shout glock911.rh@gmail.com. Have fun !
Thank you !
Really appreciate the review--there are so many reviews of new rvs, but the real question is how something holds up after years. Your review of a GEO-PRO after serious usage is rare and helpful, thank you for taking the time to post it. Your point about cost-to-own value is meaningful given your usage. Thanks again.
Thanks
Thank you for the video thinking about buying the Geo pro 15 TB May God bless your journey
awesome 2 year review. Just found these campers and we really like the simplicity and layout. Thanks for the video😁
Thanks!
Came across your longer-term review for some of the reasons you ended up mentioning -- as the Rockwood line seems to nail the high-value mark. The fact that you had been full-timing and getting out there is a huge endorsement to the quality. Appreciate that you mentioned that alternative floorplan, as I was going to ask you in comments if you had thoughts. It appears finding a 2018-19 in good shape is the solution.
I’m really considering a 19FBS.
Appreciate you taking the time to review after 2 years of use. I’m about to get one. Thanks for this.
Thanks for that--from others I heard things like screws backing out, etc, which worried me a little--and sounded like most RV's I've ever known. This is more promising, thanks.
This video is much better than walk throughs of new RV's. They all look good when they're new. What counts is how they hold up and this is encouraging. Glad you turned on the A/C and talked while it was on high. Some of them are apparently incredibly loud but this one seems manageable. Thanks for doing the video.
Glad to see you back on UA-cam.
Fattie Great hearing from you- I think about you every time someone asks me a solar question that I don't know - haha. It's good to be back. I have a backload of content to last through the end of the year that I'm editing rn:)
I might get in touch if I do one on solar options...
Sounds good to me. I am gonna be in SoCal for this winter. Don't know if you will be?
Fattie Burbank, Palm Springs and Joshua Tree when I’m not stuck in Ohio;) Shoot me at text if you still have my number otherwise email me at geoproadventures@gmail.com
and I’ll get you my cell:)
We just bought ours, so it is great to see how well your unit has held up. We went from an Airstream to the offroad Murphy bed unit, so quality and the way it holds up over time is something we were/are concerned about. We won't be living in it, but we do plan to go offroad and put it through its paces. Thanks so much for making this series!
Elizabeth Fritz-Cottle Thank you! The fit & finish is not as nice as the new airstreams, but I also don’t think that you’d want to take the new airstreams off road to half of the places we’ve been. I think you’ll love your Geo Pro for what you’re using it for:)
@@GeoProAdventures Elizabeth curious to hear what you think after 10 months? My wife would prefer an Airstream, but I think the Geo Pro would be much better!
TY
Jason thank you so much for posting this review! I don't know of any other owner reviews on this model available on the net ....or anywhere else for that matter. Been following you guys for a little while now and find everything you do very inspiring!
Good to hear its holding up well and you're still living the dream. I picked up the 19FBS and borrowed some of your mods and added my own. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks a bunch for taking the time to do this!
Good review Jason. Its nice to see someone doing a long term review on the GeoPro. I agree that it is one of the best values in the RV industry. We are looking to get one in the future, thanks for your great videos.
Hi from Idaho. Just discovered your channel this morning. Really appreciate the 2-year review. I'm looking at getting a GeoPro as well. It's especially interesting to me to know how it's held up, given the off-road use, because I do the same kind of adventures in the mountains. Also good to know that the slide mechanism holds up to off-road travel. I think it's key that you keep the unit clean and maintain it well. It shows pride of ownership. Take care, keep adventuring!
OK cool. Thanks
Thanks for doing this update. Everything is beautiful when we are shopping around but have no clue how it will hold up. Very valuable video. Thanks again
Really appreciate the 2 year review--thanks for posting.
i've really enjoyed your videos the last couple of years. thanks.
pork cutlet Thank you for watching - we appreciate you and please leave comments on anything you’d like to see or see more of:)
Thanks for the update J
Love your videos
mike kolesar I appreciate you subscribing and watching:) Let is know if there’s anything you’d like to see or see more of
@@GeoProAdventures Why don't we see your beautiful gal anymore?
How often do you take out the rv?
Are you still in Ohio as well
mike kolesar Renee works full time now - as fun as our adventure was, she felt that she wanted to establish a career path and make a little money. I guess it’s all about what you choose to exchange your time for;) We still go out together on short weekend trips once a month or so and I go out a little more usually with friends or family. We’ve had a little place in Ohio that I split my time between there and SoCal - much prefer SoCal in the winter:)
Pretty impressive.Very nice looking too
Did you ever have any problems with your batteries or solar package? I was also wondering if your geo pro had a 7pin connection on the hitch and if so are you able to use that connection to charge your batteries using your truck? If for whatever reason you had to?
Your opinion about single axel towing vs 2 axel units for this size.
2 axels are generally for trailers over 5000 pounds. The 19FBS maxed out & full is only about 3500. That being said, as with anything, more axels is theoretically safer. We traveled over 30,000 miles & never had any issues but we’re always mindful of our tire pressure & condition.
You sold me when you bought your Geo Pro, Absolutely love it, Thanks love the videos
Thanks for the update Jason. Glad to see you and the Geo Pro are doing well. I think it say's a lot about the quality of the Geo Pro's, especially the conditions you have put it through. God Bless and hope to hear from you soon.
Mark Thank you! We have a lot of archived footage that I’m editing now and will upload every week-ish. Sometimes it’s super hard to find a coffee shop that has good upload speeds while traveling. Most little cafes have WiFi with decent download speeds, but if I’m out traveling, it takes about 2 hours to upload a 10 minute video over most WiFi:( At home it’s pretty fast, so I try to upload something every week from home now that we’re not currently full-time:)
Thank you very much for this review!! It was awesome to get this kind of perspective from folks that have used their rig so extensively. I just subscribed!! We just downsized from a 1 ton Ram truck to a Toyota Tacoma. This Geo Pro, though the Tacoma is not known to be a towing beast, looks to be awesome for our needs. We live in Southwest CO and look forward to start taking 1ish month camping trips to explore the country. I look forward to watching your other videos.
campingalan That’s a perfect length trip honestly! You’ll love the freedom and it will give you time to find your peace in nature and not too much time that you’ll be annoyed with each other lol:)
Thanks for the review, I have been looking at this model and was sold on the white interior. My camper is so dark!
They also have a hybrid model with a pop-out bed on one end and the Murphy bed/sofa on the other end. saves so much room.
You are correct - I have the 2019 19FD. It has a 1000W inverter. I added another solar panel (220W) after my flex panel took on a little hail and lessened the output a little. I also bought an Inergy Kodiak which will run the microwave and a coffee maker off grid and anything requiring up to 1500W. Thanks for the update!
TPD I’m jealous! That would be my ideal setup - thanks for sharing! I’ll look into the Inergy Kodiak - it’s the first I’ve heard of it but that’s awesome that you can run the microwave off-grid.
Did you upgrade your bed? We want to put our full size bed instead of the one it comes with. Do you think that would be an issue?
What’s the weight of this one and what are you pull it with?
Jason's where on earth have you been???
So nice to see you again
We have one year old 2019 Geo Pro 19Fd and love it. Thanks for the 2yr. review.
Glad I found this channel. I've been considering a boondocking style camper and saw the Geo-Pro. Your channel give lots of great info on the product. Fyi, I liked the "notes from the universe" box on back. I hope it's all been goods news lately!
go nuts with that HUGE fridge and your 6 ice cubes.
I have a 19 FD . After 2 years I have had only minor issues. I don't travel as much as you do and I'm in the Midwest so solar really wasn't worth it for me. During year one I had the LCD on the radio go out, they replaced the entire radio. Plastic piece that retracts to close the toilet pipe cracked in half, the just replaced the whole toilet. A drawer bottom kept falling out but that was mostly due to excessive weight in the drawer. Stove wasn't secured correctly in the counter, they put better screws in it to secure it properly. Stereo speakers had to be taken out and cleaned because of debris from cabinet was all inside the speakers which made them sound blown out ( I just did this myself). The biggest problem was the same you had with support for the drainage pipe that broke. This is something I didn't even see until someone pointed it out to me. The pipe was pretty low and could of been ripped off causing some major damage to the plumbing. I would recommend anyone that buys one of these to get that reinforced or replaced with better hardware. I'm overall happy with my camper and at the price point you can't find anything as modern looking with all the features this camper has. Thanks for all you videos, I've been following you since I bought my camper.
Great review! We just bought a 2020 19BH
kdl55 Oh sweet! That thing must feel huge inside. I’ve never seen one in person, but it would be my first choice if I was traveling with kids or pets:)
Good to know it's a quality product. We're looking into a 19FD with the Murphy bed. Local dealers have gold plated price tags on these, so we may have to drive from middle GA to RV Wholesalers in OH to get one at a decent price.
Silas Longshot I know LaBadie RV where we got ours, delivers all over North America. I get zero anything from them, so I’m just helping you out by letting you know from our experience, Greg at Labadie RV is about as honest as a person that you’ll find and has been selling RV’s for about 30 years. I also met some other great dealers when we were traveling around but we didn’t spend much time in Georgia so I can’t recommend anyone that I know close to you. I could ask around if you’d like me to... Geoproadventures@gmail.com
Great video - like many people said already, I've read many articles on new trailers but very few nYear reviews like your's. Great idea!.
If you get a chance to do any videos on towing, that is something else hard to find. I used to read these type reviews in RV forums but there are too many people that want to argue that a 1-ton dually is a must for EVERY tow vehicle.
Great update! Thanks! That little trailer is impressive.
I enjoy your channel. We have the FD with a 100 watt panel and are adding a second one. Thanks Jason.
Why does cabinet unable to hold items? You pay the money it should be prosecuted able to hold what you need
I just subscribed! I have a Rockwood Mini Lite 23' currently, and have been thinking about downsizing to a Geo Pro to allow more off-grid and boondocking adventures. The only hesitation has been that my Mini Lite has been EXTREMELY reliable, and I didn't want to give any of that up with the Geo Pro. Not that I suspected the Geo Pro was junk, but just wasn't sure. This was a very well-done video that was to the point. Hope to watch more of your adventures!
Both are made by Rockwood, and honestly the Mini Lite is a larger Geo Pro. In other words, Geo Pros are narrower, lower ceiling, shorter in length. BUT....You know how there is the smallest Geo Pro, then one slightly larger, then another slightly larger. Well, once you get above a certain size (I think 20 feet) then they simply made it a little wider, a little taller, and gave it tandem (two) axles to handle the weight and voila, you have the Mini Lite. BOTH use the same torsion axle system. BOTH use Azdel on interior and exterior walls. BOTH have water miser for the shower. BOTH are fully welded aluminum for the entire frame AND the bed frames and dinettes etc. BOTH use vacuum bonded side walls, rear walls, and ROOF. BOTH use Maxx air fans with vent covers. Get the idea I'm sure. Both so much better built and equipped than anything else in the price range. No, I don't even own a RV yet, but after 3-4 years of research, phone calls, emails etc, I feel very confident that I have found my trailer. Either a Geo Pro or Mini Lite.
@@JeffInDFW Did you end up going for it? Or, an alternative?
Thx for the review, i have narrowed it down to an R Pod, Casita or Geo 15 or 19. i'm leaning toward the Geo 19 after your review. Be towing with a Jeep JK.
Whew! For a second there I thought you were selling. 🤣 Great video as always Jason! Happy Trails!
GeoPro Diaries Thank you so much! You too - cool channel name, I’ll check you out:)
How’s your single axle tow experience?
We towed for almost 30,000 miles with it our first 2 years with zero wheel/tire/axle issues. It does have a full size spare if you were to get a flat… I think trailers over 5,000 pounds are required to have two axles but our 19FBS was under 3,000 pounds.
Thank you for the 2 year review.
We bought the Geo Pro 19FD 3 weeks ago after spending the 3 years looking.
My wife immediately said this is it
Even though the bed is a full size it is not a crawl over. I don't think we could do a crawl over.
Jason I had no clue a/c worked hooked up to the house! Damn! Even the fan would be great! Thank you!!
M I also have just a small $35 turbo fan from target that I plug into an inverter outlet when it’s really hot & off grid:)
Jason. Me and my wife LOVE our 2019 Geo Pro 19 FBS. This is our second season with it and only repair was the closet door (Forrest River shipped one to us direct). One thing we did was turned the closet into a 4 shelf pantry (we are weekend campers). This freed up the drawers for clothes. We don't boondock so no solar. I watch all your videos!
Douglas Black I like the pantry mod idea:) Thank you for watching & let us know if there’s anything that you want to see or see more of:)
2019’s has solar as standard package did your remove ?
Thanks for the info
Good review thanks! what is overall mileage of your Jeep grand Cherokee? If it is possible can you let us know what trim level of your Jeep Cherokee?
Great video!
Considering how affordable solar is now, 100 - 200 Watts is really weak, as in poor factory design.
At this price point, this is the best current "medium".
If you are towing with an automatic transmission, an update on that in the future would be interesting.
Worth repeating, a very good video, a great service to us future buyers. THANK YOU!
It's funny though some other upper medium quality RV's don't come with solar or come with 50w, so, 100w pre-wired for another 100 up top and wired for more at the ground is actually quite a value package on the Geo/E-pro imo.
Why would you need over 200 Watts of factory solar? The average customer has 1 or maybe 2 12V batteries up front. Maybe 2 6V's which is plenty for a weekend or a bit more. Anymore and you will be looking at $$$ upgrades.
Does your unit have an LCI Brand welded i-beam frame underneath or is it a bolted together frame by BAL?
Would be awesome to see a review of your towing setup as well. I have been looking at doing a similar set up with a Grand Cherokee as well.
Have you got your Jeep grand?
Quality control and holding up to even basic dirt roads is a major problem with the Geo/E-Pro lines.
Cabinets falling apart to plumbing leaks and electrical problems seem to be very common issues.
I have the same model, without the offroad package. stereo had to be replaced last year, the awning motor had to be replaced, it is currently in the shop because the fridge stopped working, I need to replace the USB charging zone - not covered by warranty. The clean water valve for the toilet failed last year too. Rockwood is usually a great quality brand but mine seems to just be a lemon.
Inverter fell off the wall, because all screws stripped, stairs come up from floor because all the screws were stripped, blinds falling off the wall, because all the screws where stripped. Drawers flying apart because all the screws where stripped, I will never buy new again. warranty is worthless if you are away from home, and i would rather save the $10,000 and do all the repairs myself, oh wait, I have had to do all the repairs myself! I hate this camper. sorry glad you having good luck, but i think people should also hear the other side of the coin. Hope mine holds together on our remaining 3000 miles so that I can get it in and get the bigger issues fixed at my dealer, because no other dealer will work on them because they do not get paid fair market value for their labor. Do not take this as anything against you, i'm sure yours is doing great, i just saw you video review, and i know others will be watching it so figured they should hear about what can go wrong and the fact rockwood does not return calls because they just want to pass the buck to the dealer, but the dealer cant help you when your thousands of miles away. Buy used, you do not get any really value for buying new. just end up spending extra money that you will need for repairs that you will probably end up having to do yourself anyway. and the things i'm having to repair are not because of just normal use, its because every freaking screw in this camper was stripped! and not really holding into anything. I wish it was an exaggeration.
The Johnny O Show Thank you for sharing because like you said, it’s important for people to know - I think you got a lemon:(. My biggest advice to EVERYONE is to schedule your warranty work early (like 2 months early). We were out of commission for almost 6 weeks waiting for a dealer in California. I think it might have been better if we would have had the warranty work done at the same place we purchased it, but that wasn’t an option as were on the other side of the country
The Johnny O Show I have a 2017 Rockwood GeoPro 19FBS and I love it. Rockwood stands behind their product
I’m buying an expedition rig with 625w on the roof and batteries and inverters to match. What a setup! As long as I have diesel and water I can be off grid.
Bill Sprague Whoa! Cool AF - congrats & have fun!
What kind if jeep you tow it with I have a 2018 wrangler jk unlimited you think that will pull this size trailer
Thanks andy
Will a 2016 Jeep 4 door pull a geo pro.
Seems like towing this with a cargo van would solve all of the long term boondocking capacity issues. That is what I'm looking at doing, and adding solar to the van, plus carrying a bunch of extra fresh water/food.
Do you have any videos with more info on the Sofa storage solution?
You keep it nice. Looks like showroom condition. Happy camping.
Alan Levine Thank you - it makes full-time RV life and a small space a lot nicer when it’s clean:)
How’s the Jeep holding up as the TV?
Camera work training: Blair Witch project
8:06 That’s my favorite RV shower head. I’ve had the same on in two RVs
Lookup the Johnny O Show On You Tube-And Read His Review On A Geo Pro Trailer!
You don't have to slide the plastic part open to access the inside handle for the screen door. Grab the circle and pull it down, rather than use it to slide it open; That will open the screen door.
just get a plug in 200 Watt panel, It'll help so much with a unit that small. You can move it throughout the day to get more sun.
why hasn't Renee been in the latest vidios? just wondering.
Thanks for the good review. Now I just need to find out if my Jeep Wrangler, 3500 lb tow rating with 675lb hitch rating will tow it.😁
I do not think Wrangler can tow this one
4413 GVWR. To much for the jeep.
My metal strap broke off and the black tank valve neck broke off early on.
My wife and I are seriously considering buying an FBS to travel U.S., Canada and Mexico upon retiring in 2021. I too will be towing my Geo Pro with a Jeep Grand Cherokee or very similar type of vehicle. My question is -- Have you had any issues with trailer sway?
At time mark 9:20 you talk about moisture causing some issues. Was that from leaving the windows open and not AC on with to much moisture in the air? What kind of the piece did they install?
I live in the Southeast where we can get rain for days, how would the Geo Pro hold up over two years here?
How is our bathroom sink cabinet holding up with moisture from showers?
David Pearson So I think it was just that the air itself was so humid with the constant rain for 8 days plus cooking inside. I’m pretty sure we had the windows closed the whole time because it was a chilly, miserable rain. The panel next to the stove buckled and they fixed it by just adding another piece of trim to the outside edge rather than ripping out the whole closet to try to repair that one piece. If you hadn’t seen a before/after photo, a person probably wouldn’t notice the fix. The repair solved the buckling issue which was our main concern
I will be picking up my Geo Pro in a few days. I’m trying to get the right hitch, but I don’t have a coupler height. What is the coupler height of your trailer?
Crafty Junker Sorry I’m in Ohio and Illinois this week visiting family & wont be back out to the geo pro for at least a week. For our hitch we bought the drop hitch and turned it upside down and had the dealer flip the hitch ball for us. It sits up pretty high if you got the off-road package - sorry I couldn’t be of more immediate help.
I appreciate any advice. I love your channel and look forward to getting my Geo Pro. Keep up the great content.
Ditto! Yes our 2019 has the inverter upgrade and a windshield. Other than that it’s just like yours. I saw a video of the 2020 model. It has bunks instead of a bed but the dining booth turns into a queen bed. Honestly, not an efficient use of space like our models.
Sheri McGill Thanks for sharing - I do love the look & function of that windshield - I haven’t personally seen one from the inside, but I think it’s a great idea for letting in light and looking out at night:)
Do you think a Toyota 4Runner would pull it?I know it's rated 5000 lbs, but not sure if it's a good idea.
Do you think my Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk would pull that size of a trailer?
Go to your owners manual, it will tell you the max tow weight for your vehicle. My Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is 3,500 lbs, so we went with the Geo Pro 15TB. The table area turns into a King Size bed. It weights about 2,400 lbs dry.
I just looked it up for you. The 2020 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk is rated to tow 6,200 lbs. The UVW (Unloaded Vehicle Weight) of the Geo Pro G19FD is 2829 lbs. You can tow this trailer with no problem at all. I suggest getting a good weight-distribution system hitch.
@@billbraski2452 I looked up my towing capacity on my 2015 Cherokee Trailhawk. 450 lb tongue weight 4500 lb towing capacity.
RV Horizons I think you’re still ok based on the weight of the trailer.
RV Horizons I just looked it up too - the 4500 pounds should tow it most of the time with zero problems. I think it might struggle a little in the mountains but not to the point that it will limit you from making it up/down any paved roads. Also remember that in the steep mountain highways, there’s usually an extra “slow” lane going up the steep grades and the posted speed limit is 35-45 mph, so I’d say that you’d be fine. I would recommend the anti sway/distribution hitch to help you out :)
Did you have issues with the frame bolts on the underbelly of the camper? Many of my nuts were loose or missing. Might want to check, or include in your review
Tommy Z I’ve never looked to be honest, but I’m definitely going to go look rn:)
I have the same trailer and almost all of my frame bolts were loose with one nut missing from the factory. Check these each spring. You can over tighten these and squish the wood floor so be careful.
from stripped screws all the way around to loss bolts, got to love that rockwood quality. Anyone here ran into the issue yet with that stinky dometic 300 series toilet, Or am i the only geopro owner lucky enough to also deal with that issue.
One dissatisfied customer.
The Johnny O Show Our toilet isn’t stinky but it might be a different model :(
Thanks for the great review. This trailer is on my “Short list,” so this review helps a lot!
what do you pull it with?
Where is the inverter located? Do i have one if i didn't get the factory solar package? Thanks
Hi Jason I was just wondering if you inspect your roof very often and if so how is the condition? Have you put any ceiling around the scenes or anything?also how is the sealant holding up in the bathroom?
Todd Foss I’ve never been up on the roof to inspect it, but I got a good look at it at the truck wash bay that had cat walks to wash the roof plus I get a pretty good view of the solar side as it’s parked just down the hill from the house in Joshua Tree. The bathroom sealant is holding up great with zero leaks :)
Thanks, I have the same unit and I washed and sealed mine this year. No leaks either. You should go up there and inspect twice a year. Keep a tube of roof sealant on hand in case you need to seal. It you get a leak and don't have anything your screwed. Just a thought. Thanks for the great videos
Todd Foss Great advice - a water leak will destroy stuff in a hurry...
Do you pull this with a 6 or V8 Jeep?
Great review. Great info. But I got a serious case of motion sickness watching it. Was that the camera or is your camper turning to jello?
Jason, what size is the ball hitch?
2&5/16''
must have been awesome having your actual full time home at burning man! haha
i guess mine was built by a drunk idiot then, because everything is falling apart on mine. Rockwood does not even have the curtsey to return my calls. and its not like i can take it to my dealer to get it fixed because i'm thousands of miles away. I had hardly anything in my drawers and they fell apart on nothing but normal highway driving. again because all the screws were stripped out from the factory. and my paneling by the tv did the same thing, because they are trying to shove a piece that is to big in the space. Let's not make excuses for them.
The Johnny O Show I replied in more detail in one of your other posts but I’ll say the main point here. SCHEDULE YOUR WARRANTY WORK EARLY! 2 months early at least. Dealing with a particular dealer in California was the only disappointing part of our entire adventure. I wish we were closer to the dealer we bought it from but we weren’t:(
Hi Jason, I bought a fds after watching your video out here in Colorado ( off road High country adventure). I have had only a few minor problems after 1 year. Like yours, my black water pipe hanger strap broke---twice! (easy fix): drawers under the sink bounce open on rough roads (made a cute little plastic lock to keep them shut); Frame to body bolts were all loose (tightened them); the plastic FM radio antenna mount on roof broke (15$ for new antenna--easy to replace); I too bent a stabilizer jack while pulling out of a very deep muddy jeep road last June where we got 7 inches of snow (buy a 2 pack from Amazon to have a spare, VERY easy to replace); and last but not least I forgot to turn on the water to the hot water heater after my first winterization and proceeded to burn out the electric heating element ( about $25 for the part and very easy to replace in about 25 minutes).
I drove 3,500 miles from Colorado to north central Penn and back for the ETAR archery rendezvous last July and had no problems at all.
DO NOT forget to look up how to manually close your tip out room if your motors fail. Mine have had no problems, but I was next to a guy with a different RV which had the same slide out mechanism and it was stuck out (2 months old RV). The motors have an electric lock so you must remove battery power to push the slide in, unless you go to the trouble of removing the motors. There is no manual crank to close the slide out room. It takes 1 young person or two old geezers like myself to push it back in.Keep the videos coming.
jerry clower Haha! I love your adventurous Spirit! It sounds like you’re enjoying life to it’s fullest and thank you SO much for sharing your tips & fixes. I didn’t know half of them:)!
Hahaha, always like to feed the hippies! 😂
Hippies? LOL. It's grey jays up here in Canada accepting your food.
Thanks for the update, I am considering one of these to live in full-time. Is there anything on the exterior to hook aux or extra solar like Zamp to?
Jason Great review. I could have a beer with ya and talk about this a lot. Thanks
