We 🧡LOVE💙 RVing! Our absolute favorites are beautiful, remote, and crowd-free locations. We've begun noticing more and more RVs on the roads and in campgrounds during our RV travels these last few years. The lifestyle we had grown to love was becoming more popular by the day. And then covid hit, and RVing exploded! Popular campsites are now bursting at the seams, making reservations difficult to impossible to secure. We've experienced firsthand the heartbreak of having that dream trip ruined by overcrowding issues.
It's this new reality of RV overcrowding that compelled us to launch Crowd Free RV. Our mission with Crowd Free RV is to: 👉 Find & share epic crowd-free RV destinations. 👉 Share tips for beating the crowds at the most iconic RV destinations. 👉 Share smart RV travel tips that help the journey go smoothly.
We want to help your family enjoy all the adventure, beauty, and priceless memories that we have discovered using the magical rolling home away from home!
I have the 2019 epro which is the same thing and I've found so many screws after driving. The drawera under the sink completely fell apart after two road trips. Trim pieces seem poorly measured. The panel under the sofa came off. Also noticed the nuts and bolts holding frame down were messed up and or missing as well. Too many things at this point. Going to find a motohome next year hopefully
they need to up thier game, those wood floors will rot even if a slight bit of water trickles on them.. they will ROT. But hey.. its built cheap for a cheap buyer.. they could replace that with a composite but that would eat up profits.
Rockwood products are overpriced, and just ok qualitty. If your paying 50k for a small camper .. every .. EVERY SINGLE SCREW SHOULD BE CHECKED AND TRIPPLE CHECKED AS BEING SOLID. If they cannot get that right.. I WOULD NOT TRUST IT AT ALL FROM FALLING APPART.
Thankyou for your video, this has help me alot as I am currently looking for an RV and am afraid to purchase anything because of the nightmares people are posting.
Terry seems like a solid guy with integrity and he seems to enjoy getting people on the road with a quality unit that has been well looked over and serviced to be turn-key and go condition. His prices are reasonable for what you get and he seems very trustworthy. I could be wrong but I never have met the man in person. He has a good reputation and I have a good gut feeling about him if everything checks out I would not hesitate to purchase one of his beautiful coaches. Plus he reminds me a little of Bill Murray's older brother Brian Dole Murray.
FLEXIRIDE is the ONLY axle to buy. Most trailers come with axles underrated for their weight or at the limit so this means after furnishing your trailer with clothes, food, tools, dishes, glasses etc you are guaranteed to be over weight and this condition is what almost always leads to failure. The axles are SO smooth and if stored long term jacked up, weight OFF OF the axles then they should last 20 years which is their lifespan. I have a Dexter and only now since 2003 am I replacing it with a Flexiride made to order over weighted axle and in my Yamaha Waverunner trailer i replaced my Dexter 1240 pounds MAX weight rated axle with a 2200lb axle and it was very reasonable and easy to install. Haven't met a single person that actually reads the instructions for storage, which these 90% of the time are doing which means the weight is on the axle damaging it 90% of the time.
Thank you for your video. We have the same problem with our fridge cover popping loose at the bottom. This has happened 4 times now. We put it back in, thinking it is good, but no. What was your solution? Thank you!
would work if they used drill and used the clutch like they should .. not us an impact that over twists the screw..is the roof made of TPO?I ask because we just bought a new GEO-PRO 10FBS..have not even picked it up yet
I called Dextor the other day, gave them my serial number, and had them apply the same specs to a new axle, but a 6,000-lb axle instead of the 3,500-lb axle that comes with our 20BHS Geo Pros. I'm very excited to have a beefier axle and be able to haul a bit more cargo. I did have to get new wheels since the #11 Dexter Torsion Axles are 6x5.5 bolt pattern.
Hello, great video. Can you please provide me with the frame-mounted hitch you guys bought/installed? I have been looking for one to fit my Geo Pro 20BHS for a while now, and it looks like you found a solution!
They have to make crappy campers because most likely we’re gonna have a good time with it. It’s gonna break her get ruined, and then you can buy a new one.
You may not want to say it,but I will. Jayco is cheap garbage. My cousin bought his Jayco new and had to have a friend weld the frame because it was falling apart. Also, I have been to RV shows and walked through Jacos that were BRAND NEW and the doors were falling ofc the cabinetry.
35:12 Is your black tank up against the rear? Our 20BH Geo has the black tank butted up almost all the way to the rear, making a hitch receiver nearly impossible. Any suggestions?
Hi, I just buy same camper 2022 geopro 166Hb. Can you share how u install the bike rack in the back of the trailer. The 2022 don’t have the hit hitch carrier. Thanks in advance
Most your and everyone’s quality complaints are explained at 6:05 in the video. The Elkhart manufacturers build emphasis is SPEED. The crews move around between companies and how fast they can staple stuff together is what matters. They aren’t wasting time pre-drilling or using Loctite.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! We are first timers, and this video helped us get through the walk through, spot the minor issues to have them fixed by the dealer before we roll out, and feel confident it was a good rig! 🎉❤ will be following now 😁✌️
Wow, I was considering this trailer for my off road trips… and now, NO WAY! Clearly this manufacturer doesn’t pay attention to quality and what garbage. Thank you so much for this!!
This video is great thank you so much for sharing this information, today I purchased the Geo pro after much research, but none as informative as yours , I pick mine up next week , we are super stoked , first thing I’m going to do is the same thing you did with the chassis bolts , I will eventually install lithium batteries and look forward to more of your videos . Thanks again
Ben, Thanks for the very thorough review of this camper. You got me interested so I began to look into that particular model more. First, I want you to know I have not owned a camper. Material on the internet says this camper can sleep 6, I like that. I looked at the main bed and the 20 BHS shows 54" x 74" FULL bed. I have to say, that bed size seems small but like I said I have not owned a camper. Is that bed size pretty typical? Also, in looking at the orientation of the TV screen at the main bed, it would seem a persons head would be opposite of the TV which would me the person on the inside (towards the hitch) would have to crawl over the other person to get out of bed. Am I accurate about this? Thank you,
Thanks so much for addressing this issue with the body nuts and bolts. Wow! Could be a nasty situation with those backing off and the body moving around …..
Beware of Forest River/Rockwood/Flagstaff models. Mine had serious manufacturing defects which they admitted to, towed the camper back to the factory, then proceeded to return it to me severely damaged. They've agreed to fix the easy, cheap stuff but not the expensive, important stuff. If you think I'm just one disgruntled customer, take a look at the Better Business Bureau's Forest River page - 1 star out of 5. If I can help just one person not go through the months long agony and financial hardship I have, it will be enough. Thanks for reading.

I'm an E-Pro 19bh owner for 4 years and I disagree a little bit. They still use wood in their construction. This industry wide needs to change. There are better and cheaper materials that can be used that don't rot.... at all.
…but why would they go through the headache of building a quality product when they have consumers like you that continuously buy these sh*t boxes and prevent educated consumers like me from buying said sh*t boxes? SMH…no really…SMH
Quantity over Quality is how they operate and they are structured from the ground up that way. Maybe they will change the floor product but expect to pay a lot more.
