Very nice camper, set up very much like what I want. I like the opening in the back under the bunk. Not a ton of space for clothes but if you pack smart you have room for a family of 5 for a month of travel. Netting on the wall by the bunks works great to put the kids socks etc in and mine liked having their warm coat in the bunk. The space under the bed looked like a good spot for a small dog to have their own place, you give up storage but everyone needs a hidey hole.
I'm in my mid 30's, climbing that ladder is pretty scary. You're walking on the roof after it rained!!!!!! FOLKS, APPRECIATE what Josh does for us in these videos!!! Give him a chance to earn your business! #ListenToTheRvNerd
I've learned a lot watching your videos. In a year and a half my son will graduate high school and head off to either Baylor or Florida State at which time I'm selling my house and buying something like this. Time to travel and find my little piece of heaven. I'll be seeing you all for my purchase. Currently in Texas.
I really like this one! But the short bed is a no go for me. I wish they would have made the bed the full width of the RV instead of having the headboard shelf. Maybe I could remove that and put in my own mattress 🤔
This is the best floor plan for the Geo Pro. The 16BH is good but the wet bath is bad for big people. The 19BH is better than the 16BH, however the dinette is a bit tight when someone is cooking. Personally I think if you have two small kids you want the 19BH and if you have two teens, you want the 20BH.. the pantry is nice to have. The sink in the kitchen is about 4 inches too small, but people have installed larger ones no problem
Me and my wife are from Canada and are using your videos as a guide for what, we want we were originally looking at the HW pop ups but this caught our attention when we noticed you post it.
Hey Josh! I am from Fayetteville Georgia (just south of Atlanta).Alot has changed except for one thing!!! Natives still don't like Pepsi Cola!! Also my husband and me will be heading up there when we are ready to buy our R.V . We have questions and we will be calling y'all soon!!
Just whatever you do don't ask for soda, unless you want baking soda as most folks call it pop here. LOL :) unless you tell them pop or soda pop they will direct you to the baking aisle 100%
How hard is it, if possible, to pull steps up after you're inside camper? For when lot camping at Walmart or Truckstops. Also, if Rockwood would make fridge and sink bigger and put a oven in. I would consider, greatly, to buy one. I know it adds weight and length probably, but I'm sure it could be towed with my RAM 1500 5.7 HEMI. Thanks
It's not difficult at all really. I've had to do it a few times for various reasons. If I was going to do it regularly, then I would add a little pull cord to the bottom step to easily retract it. What can be tricky is unlocking the step from the up position so it can swing down. Not super hard to just reach thru the planks though.
You are one of the best in demonstrating campers on RU-vid; Is this tip to tail 21ft (including the tongue); I’m looking for something which comes with a solar like this; has a private queen or king bedroom; double-bed bunks (unlike this, like the grand design imagine); both bunks should have individual windows; front windshield (as much large as possible); atleast one slide(like this), double axle, solid metal frame, best in class insulation and under 25ft and 5k lbs dry weight. I think everyone wants these features, but I can’t find Trailers with these. Closest is heartland wilderness 2475bh (no front windshield and lower bunk height seems too low); Let me know if you find any.
When I post the length specs at the beginning that is the total tip-to-tail -- not just "the box size" To get bedroom privacy & many of the other features you seek the RV will need to jump in size. Here's a few things that pretty much hit what you're seeking: bit.ly/2rAJ8Ym or perhaps bit.ly/2P8gPtq There's likely a few other options as well -- those are just a few off the top of my head.
Ah, they finally listened to me and added the slide! This one is going to sell like crazy. Now if they just pushed the limits a little more and added dual axle and turned the bed orientation 90 degrees and increased the bunk width, I might consider trading up from my Apex Nano 108BHS.
Then you'd just be back into something like this: bit.ly/35nI9tK That's why they've kept these Geos smaller. Sometimes a brand manager has to look at a trailer and basically say "stay in your lane" else they just end up re-inventing the wheel.
Not from Rockwood, but Wildwood has one here: www.haylettautoandrv.com/inv/2020-Forest-River-Wildwood-178BHSK-Coldwater-T1827/ And this fall Jayco is releasing a new series of single axle Jay Feather with the floor plan of that wildwood and features of the Geo Pro!
Hello Josh. I am in the Northern Virginia area, where can I get authorized service that is not named "Camping World"? Before I saw this one I was liking the Coachmen Apex Nano 208BHS, what is your pros/cons between the two. The Wi-Fi router is definitely a plus. I look forward to your comments. P.S. I am the guy with the 5000 pound tow limit. Take care!
Regarding service - I think my best suggestion is to contact the customer service department of the brand of RV you own & share your situation so they can assist.
Josh does a single axle trailer bounce more going down the road as a similar length and weight dual axle trailer? Thanks Buddy!!!!! Love the education gained from your vids :)
SOME brands offer factory installed smart TVs standard (freedom express often uses TCL TVs with Roku for instance), but they're not usually. That's an easy fix with something like a roku/fire stick. Different TVs aren't factory options, but if that's the only thing you need then call our team. Stuff like that which can be easy swapped in is something we can handle for you before the RV ever left our facility.
Should be fine assuming proper hitching and brake controls. Give our team a shout at www.haylettautoandrv.com/contact/ and we'll double check the safety figures for you!
Good question. If the removal causes some other sort of damage, then that damage won't be covered. But the "loss of warranty" isn't an "all or nothing" kind of thing. Removing a headboard has nothing to do with your A/C or chassis for instance. Does that help?
Last year we customized our 19FD geo pros with a front windshield & it caused QUITE the stir. This year it became a normally offered option which is neat. But I think I burned my "custom orders" capacity for while lol
Nothing physically. They come from the same facility made by the same people. Rockwood models outsell Their Flagstaff clones over 2-1 however which translates to a slightly higher resale advantage for Rockwoods
4,455lbs at max cargo which puts it 500lbs less than your tow rating. Always a good idea to let our team double check tow ratings vs. trailer weights to ensure a safe pairing at 800-256-5196
N/A from the factory, but I can think of several VERY simple solutions to something like this. If that's all you need, then give us a call and i'm sure we'll get you camping!!
There's no structure in the roof designed to secure a dish. So... I probably wouldn't advise it. Good news is the camper is so small those portable VuCube style things would likely still get your TV playing
Dry weight as this trailer is scaled from Rockwood (not generalized) mentioned at beginning. I do not yet have full specs on this, but pretty sure it's a 5k axle. Our team at 800-256-5196 can verify off the unit itself.
Likely because very few people considered it during the buying process until a few years ago when Eagle blew that concept wide open with their introduction of JaySMART lighting. Suddenly everybody is scrambling to try to keep up.
JOSH... New Announce... ROCKWOOD GEO PRO FIFTH WHEEL. Under 6,000lbs, TRUE half ton towable...with BUNKS and storage. JUST KIDDING, FAKE NEWS..... BUT JOSH. Please tell your friends ar ROCKWOOD to make that!!!! I would be the first in line!
@@JoshtheRVNerd Will you seriously ask? I think it would compete with the new winniebago's. I am die hard rockwood. Inlove with the GEO PRO. would love this in a fifthwheel.
We could do that here for you if you'd like. We've done similar things. For the benefit of your resale value down the line we would HIGHLY recommend keeping all bunk components off to the side somewhere however.
Rockwood doesn't have any specs published here I can reference for you. Our team at 800-256-5196 is happy to hand measure one for you (or anything else you need)
It would be nice to have a Murphy bed instead of this fixed bad... there is a 19fd version that has a Murphy bed behind the love seat, and it still has a dinette, but bo bunk beds, and does have a slide out..
Geo Pros are all made to be exactly 20ft at most for shipping purposes and owner towing comfort. Turning the bed as described would require the RV to be extended significantly & basically be recreating something like a 2509S Mini Lite
4500lb axle on these. 3k axle would make them under-rated by default. 4,500lb leaves them with just a bit under 1,000lbs cargo capacity which is plenty for a little box like that.
Not recommended on Geo Pro models. There is not enough of a height variance between the roof line and top of the slide flange. Adding a slide awning is physically possible, but it will actually direct water toward the RV instead of shielding and directing away from it
Saw your inquiry to our team over the weekend. Understand *NO* RV in this class is "Four Seasons" as you have asked. They're made for spring/summer/fall use & have the option of adding holding tank heat pads. But the tanks are too large to enclose the belly. Small campers like this cannot survive the kind of temps you'd get on something like a Cougar or Eagle. That's one of the reasons why they're larger/heavier/more expensive.
@@JoshtheRVNerd you guys are the best, honest straight forward, and very educational as well. I did see your emails come through and I ABSOLUTELY love yalls website and RU-vid channel. Thank you so much for your reply!!!
I have a 2509s that weighs 5200 empty. The hitch weight is double of this trailer. You could say the same thing about an Ultra Lite but I'd never pull one with a half ton truck like I do the 2509s.
It looks like a nice set up/floorplan but not for us I like the one with the bunks on the back wall and a U boat style front table/converts to bed only because I have pet peeves about folks sitting on my bed when they come in my space and I like the bath on the side with a sink so my kids can brush their teeth and not have to mess up the kitchen sink with toothpaste UGH! Otherwise cool just not for us :(
Pepsi, Yankee devil cola??? Dem be unejumakated Georgians & should know the slogan.. "Pepsi, the taste born in the Carolinas" as it is NC born and bred... Not as good as RC Cola but still southern born!
