Rockwood Geo Pro Review | Brutally Honest Quality Review after 6,000 miles & 11 states of travel

- We purchased our Rockwood Geo Pro, 20BHS in January of 2020, and have been living and traveling in it since June. This is our brutally honest review of Geo Pro initial quality after traveling over 6,000 miles and 11 states.
I’ve got several purposes for this video, but my primary goal is to help you find the RV which is the absolute best fit for your situation. That’s the bottom line really, as the Geo Pro is a great little travel trailer, but I realize they may not be a good fit for everyone’s intended lifestyle.
Next, I would like to promote the high-quality details which the Geo Pro has and shares with other models, brands, and manufacturers; details like Azdel, Aluminum Framing, and Dexter Torflex Axles. These quality materials, manufacturing processes, and components can be game-changers in the longevity of a travel trailer and the ownership experience. Any rig which shares these same features will be better because of them.
Lastly, while I wish my ownership experience has been 100% positive, it has not been. So, my goal with sharing the things which could be improved is to provide valuable buyer education and market feedback to Rockwood & Forest River, which will ultimately help them to build an even better product. Rockwood produces a good product and its quality is improving every year, but there are still opportunities for improvement.
I hope you find this video informative and helpful. It was a labor of love. If you are in the market for a new RV, it’s my wish that you find the perfect fit for your unique needs and that your new RV is a vehicle that transports you to epic experiences and priceless memories!
Thanks For Watching!!
All the best,

Hi. Thanks for the detailed video. I'm curious if you were able to communicate with the manufacturer about the "defects" such as the screws coming loose etc. and if so, were they receptive to your feedback and willing to research making improvements?
Hi @Philip Kauppinen!
I did not communicate with them directly. I do know that factory representatives watch people’s videos and they monitor forum groups for the purposes of collecting feedback.
I’m going to be up at the factory soon. I plan to check in regarding quality improvements. They haven’t resumed factory tours yet, but I’ll see what I can do. Stay tuned…
Thanks for watching & commenting!
Ty , Great Video . I am now not buying an RV for 25K . I hope you have Following Seas and Fair Winds .
No could not contact them
@@CrowdFreeRVhow’s the swinteck slide working out. I probably spelled it wrong.
I’ve had rvs for 35 years, various types, manufacturers and brands. Screws vibrate loose in every one.
On of the, by far, most detailed and realistic reviews of a product I've ever seen. We were on the fence, but you sold us. We bought a '23 this morning in Tulsa. Excellent job, sir. Excellent.
I've been eyeing this trailer up, great review. Thank you for posting this.
I'm in the process of looking to get a travel trailer and your video popped up in my search. I've watched probably about a dozen or so videos on different ones and I just wanted to say that your video has been the best out of them all! I didn't expect to have such detail thrown at me!! Thank you for this!
Glad it was helpful @hakarumonoka! Thanks for watching & commenting!
My wife and I are picking up our Geo-Pro 20BHS in a few days, and the thorough walkthrough was just what I needed!
Congratulations @Chris Heilberger!
Glad to video was helpful & hope all goes well with your Geo delivery! Happy adventuring & thanks for watching & commenting!
I have to say, when I started this video, I was DREADING the 1 hour PLUS view time and couldn't imagine why it was so long, but man, this was a very good and thorough video where you made your points well! Really appreciate all the little tips to look out for. We are shopping for our first rig and Rockwood has now become a leading contender. Stay safe out there!
Hello @Meditative Essence! Thanks for your kind comment! It means a lot 🙂
One thing to consider in the current production climate - I just spoke with the Rockwood factory yesterday. The have been able to keep parts in stock and run a full 5 day per week production schedule. Some manufacturers are running 2-3 days per week due to parts shortages. This is something to look into if you special order a rig vs. buying one from dealer stock.
Excellent review! Very informative. I really love the level of detail. Thank you for taking the time to make this video!
I subbed once I saw the 2020 bill. :) Hope CZcams doesn't try to have you arrested. Another great presentation on this RV brand. Thanks!
Thanks for the sub even though I have that hateful violence inciting $20 in my rig! 😁
Stay free my friend!
I enjoyed your Video! I learned a lot. Thank you. Definitely feel more confident in going forward to purchasing one.
Hopefully soon!
Such a great review! Thank you for taking the time.
I just discovered your you tube channel. Outstanding work. I thought that one hour was going to be boring. It was not. You taught me all kinds of stuff. Thank you for the great job.
This was fantastic and I thank you for all the heads-up helpful hints. I'm looking at purchasing a used one (same year model). I'll certainly be looking at the important areas now to make sure everything is ok. I lost my husband to cancer last year so I will be doing this solo. Looks like with all your info, it will be very doable 😀 Thank you again. I'll be keeping up with your videos in a big way 🌞
Looking forward to your video on the hitch setup. Thanks!
The most detailed review ive seen so far on youtube with ANY RV/Trailer
Thanks @david david! I appreciate that!
I invite you to check out what we’re doing at crowdfreerv.com
Thanks for watching & commenting!
Very comprehensive with excellent, thorough communication of balanced, well thought-out problem/solution oriented review! Awesome 😎!!!
Great video!! Really appreciated the honest review of this TT. Best regards, Bob
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 😁✌️
Enjoyed your video. We have a 2020 19FD we got in the spring. We've had the same issues with the screws & stove top burner popping out. We will be doing the screw eyelet solution for our cupboards. Best solution we've seen, inexpensive and quick. Thank you.
We replaced our kitchen tap with the Vanra faucet & moved the kitchen faucet to the bathroom.
Will be checking the bolts underneath in the spring.
Nice balanced review.
Love the layout & the Murphy bed of our trailer.
Looking forward to more of your videos.
Thanks for watching & for your kind comment @Barbara Graves! Much appreciated! Where do y’all like to take your 19FD? Are you looking for new places to explore?
Very informative, you are a person that is well organized and intelligent. Good luck in all your future travels. Happy motoring. Thanks
Glad you found the video informative @richard fabrizio! Thanks for watching & commenting!
Thank you so much. I just bought a 2021.5 G20BHS. Love it so far.
Awesome @Justin G! I wish you many wonderful adventures & memories!
Thanks for watching & commenting. Much appreciated!
Thank you for sharing a very throughout, honest review of the trailer. I found tons of useful information from this video. BTW: Love the 2020 dollar bill you taped up :)
Thanks @A H!
Yep, great Bill!!
Great video! Loved the honesty and all the detailed information.
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
Thank you this is extremely educational and informative as I do research to help make the best decision on my first travel, trailer purchase! Thanks again!
Good information, thank you for taking the time to do this.
Glad we could help @Ben C! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great video. So much very useful info. I learned a lot. Thanks. Getting a geo Pro soon so this was very good for me.
Glad it was helpful @Billiejo Willisko Wong! Thanks for watching & commenting!
We just traded in our 2019 Jayco X17Z Hybrid for a Dutchman Aspen Trail, and the overview of our Jayco Hybrid was excellent!! It was small, and with having the canvas/vinyl pop out beds regarding condensation, it was a really great trailer for us!
I hope your sister-in-law finds a nice one like we had!
Thank u! Such great info. About to buy one tomorrow. We r long time campers. Never had a new one. Keep it up
Thanks for the in-depth video. I have been considering a Geo Pro and you have given me more information than I could imagine. Never get this anywhere else.
I know my comment is very late to this thread, but I found your video extremely helpful! We bought a used 2018 Geo Pro G17RK back in July and take it out every weekend. The first thing that we noticed was loose screws. I now keep a tube of blue thread locker in the camper.
Great video, I looked at a used 2020 today and this tells me so much as I make a decision about it. Thanks!
Very thorough review and helpful. Time will spent thank you!
Glad it was helpful @Susie Mays!
I’m curious too. I have an EPRO 19 FD. The frame is IN FRONT of the black water tank which makes installing a hitch rather difficult.
Thanks Ben for giving a detailed review on your Rig. I Just purchased our Rockwood Mini Lite back in February and have been out a few times already, As a Newbie I have been looking at a lot of you tube videos to get Ideas. We have been staying locally around New England and in a couple of weeks are heading out to our longest trip yet to Missouri. I will be getting underneath my rig and checking all the nuts and bolts. You are correct by saying that the manufacturers should produce a better product or better quality control on there product that is installed in the rigs. Thanks again and stay safe,
Safe travels and happy adventuring @Robert Magdaleno! Thanks for watching & commenting!
Thank you for your in depth video. I am currently researching what type of RV to get. I used to have an old Coleman tent trailer, but now that I’m older I am looking into a travel trailer or a class c. Your info really helped me understand what to look for.
GeoPro is what we want to get, Super big Thank You with all detailed info. My list to my dealer once we find one will be subject to certain work to correct the deficiencies noted . WOW, You take care and thanks 🙏 again .
Great video. Every trip is an earthquake - hahah! Love that you just identify the issues and show the obvious simple fixes to address manufacturing shortcuts! Due to riding old vibrating British motorcycles, I buy Loctite in bulk ;-) Glad to hear that the bones are solid as this model is on our short list. Thx!
Your comment made my day @Robert Mckeown! Man it’s hard to beat an old bike full of unique character! You go for a ride and it’s like two old cranky best friends on a joyful journey.
My background among other things is aviation. Like your bikes, everything is always trying to loosen from vibration & sonic influences. Locktite, lockwire, & self locking nuts!!
Glad the vid was helpful & thanks again for the comment!
Thank you for this shopping for my first RV bout ready to retire it really helped. Also you’ll love 💕 St Augustine happy 30th!!!!
Thank you @Jenny Mallory!!
Great review thinking of buying a geo pro thanks for the in depth review 👍
Great video. we pick ours up next week, and this video is amazing!!!!
AOT Racing - that is exciting!! Congrats! Which model did you get?
Thanks for watching & your kind comment!
@@CrowdFreeRV 20bhs!!!!!
Great video. Educational and very informative! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful @Jeff Knapp! Thanks for watching & commenting!
A tip from an old master mechanic (me) about screws coming out. If you have a screw that just won't cooperate about staying tight, perhaps a pop-rivet (sometimes with added small washers on both sides of the hole, if you can get to those areas) may be a more permanent fix like where your stove screws were. But keep in mind if you ever have to disassemble an item that's been riveted, you'll have to drill out the rivets so consider that before riveting.
Good idea on tire upgrade, 'margin' on everything is a good idea, tow capacity, tires, battery amperage, all of it.
Thanks for the rivet tip @Silas Longshot! Appreciate your watching & commenting!
love how frank you are on Pluses and Minus on the trailer. I would easily go to the geo-pro at some later date.
Appreciate your kind comment @Joe Rogers! And I’m glad the video was helpful. Thanks for watching!!
Great Video! We are in the early stages of choosing a rig and a small one of these is in the running.
Thanks for the detailed info and taking the time to share. 🇺🇸😎
Glad it was helpful @Pat L Smith!
I have this trailer and this video was so helpful. Thank you
Glad it was helpful @CR! Thanks for watching & commenting!
This was extremely helpful. Thank you. Great video.
Thanks for the very detailed video, I’ve watched many CZcams videos on different makes and models of campers and I always come back to the Geo Pro. I do realize very rv is going to have its issues, but I still think for the price point the Geo Pro is the route I’m going with. I really like the 19fb with the Murphy bed. It just checks all the boxes for what I’m looking for. I’m just really amazed with the negative comments about the geo pro by these so to speak experts. I just laughed at the ignorance, and most complaints are usually from operator error. Like one I read about the Dexter axle being junk because if you speed around a corner and hit a curb you can’t get it realigned. Well slow down and don’t run up over a curb lol. Anyway great video thanks again.
Glad you liked the vid @truckr74! Thanks for watching & commenting!
Definitely endorsing loctite!
Good to know about Dexter Axles.
I'll bet this guy could spend two hours critiquing a BLT, but wow what great information. I'm considering purchasing my first trailer and now I know everywhere to look. Small lazy details make me nuts, and I had no idea there could be so many issues. Thanks for taking the time.
Thank You for a comprehensive review!
Nice video! Thanks for all the info👍
Thanks for watching & your kind comment Kim!
Great, info-packed video. I plan on purchasing the 19BH without the slide next year. It will just be me living in it, so I don't need the extra dining space. Plus, not having a slide is one less thing to break. (I know you said that you haven't had any) problems) I decided on this brand and model because of all the great features I wanted anyway like the solar, the wifi booster, the shower miser, the dual propane tanks, etc. Really glad I watched the whole video and I feel much more confident in my decision. Thank You!
MrBklein31 👋 hello sir! I agree with you on the slide. If you don’t need the space there are advantages to not having a slide; like those you mentioned, plus less gaps for bug intrusion, overall lighter weight, etc...
Thanks for watching & commenting!! I wish you all the best on your purchase & future travels!
No slide means less tongue weight, I think....
I have the 19 geo pro without the slide and there is plenty of space for me... good choice..
@@CR10.07 I’m a fan of not having a slide if you have enough room without it. The benefits are lighter weight, less maintenance, more reliability, easier to heat/cool the rig, and less gaps for bugs to get in.
FreeBirds yes very good points. I think you have such good takes on RV and towing. Thanks
Informative, thanks for sharing your experiences.
Glad you found it helpful @Joseph Caloger! Thanks for watching & commenting!
Thanks for the great review!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE CACKLING LAUGH FROM THE BATHROOM!
Yes, @Scott H, she LOVES to mess with me while I’m filming! 😂🦨
Me 2!
I have the same problem with the screws glad you explained lock tight. Now I can fix them
I just noticed on a recent Forest River Geo Pro manufacturing tour, they are now double nutting the flooring screws. I think we have you to thank for this… My new 19FBS arrived in October. Beyond excited!
What year did they start doing this.
Great video! Very thorough. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful @Joel Colon!
Something you can do with screw holes, that usually works if they are stripped, is use some epoxy mixed with metal filings, use a release agent like wax on the screw. Just make sure the material you are repairing is thick enough. The metal filings reinforce the epoxy to the point where you can actually drill and tap it. May want to check if there is any issue with needing a certain type of epoxy that is particularly suited to Azdel or not, any wood items or alum items will be OK with a 5min epoxy. In wood and alum, you cand also use a rivnut, which needs a biigger hole, but, it expands into the material when tightened like a rivet, and then you can use whatever size and thred pitch screw as necc. They use them on fibreglas to install light brackets, mirror brackets etc.
Thanks for the very helpful info @Dave Collins!
Hi there. New subscriber; thank you very much for taking the time to post such a comprehensive review of your trailer experiences, so far. We are looking to order an RV after the New Years. We live in southwestern CO, will be doing 1-2 week trips until we retire in 3-5 years, and probably will be doing 50+% of national forest and BLM boondocking. So, geo pro is one of the leading options. We are also considering R-Pod and Micro Mnnies in the travel trailer realm. For any of the models, we are looking into the murphy bed floor plans. We only have a Toyota Tacoma; so need to keep the trailer weights down. We're also looking in to some sprinter van class C's. Our long term plan would be to expand to 1-2 month trips after retiring. If we get a trailer, we'll upgrade for those longer trips. If we got a more expensive sprinter class c, we'd most likely try to make that work for the longer trips too in order to insure we get our $$'s worth out of it.
I am really glad to hear you have had a good experience with the Geo Pro! This is pretty much our leading consideration; mainly due to it being one of the lightest, as well as being more boondockable right out of the box. I'd probably upgrade the solar capability, if we went this route. And, probably carry a smaller inverter generator in the event that we are enjoying a shady site.
Safe travels!!
👋 Hello @campingalan! Thanks for watching and your excellent comment! I wish you all the best in your search for your adventure rig. I've often looked at the Sprinter class C's jealously as I'm spending 30 minutes to set up and tear down and they can do it in about 5. But then when I'm staying put for awhile I'm glad I can leave camp set up and just hop in the truck and go. Such a conundrum! I've I could be of any further help in your decision making process, please drop me a comment! Thanks again for watching & commenting!
Like your channel. Very informative. Opinions seem to be spot on. I don’t own a trailer yet but am researching and like the Geo’s. The only item is I wish they put a sink in the bathroom. Happy travels!
👋 Hey @Roy Brochu!
I agree with wishing for a sink in the bathroom! Often I put a cutting board over the kitchen sink for extra counter space and work area. And that leaves me with only the tub for washing.
Thanks for watching & commenting!!
Awesome review, appreciate it.
Glad it was helpful JC! Thanks for watching & commenting!
Thanks I had 3 each missing nuts and 2 each loose nuts. I took your suggestion and backed the nut with another nylon nut. Man thanks for the information, I could have had serious issue if not checked and repaired.
Excellent video, thanks for the insights.
Great and very thorough review. Which bumper hitch did you use for the rear? We have the e-Pro 20bhs and need to do the same as you for our bike rack.
We are in the DFW area as well. Just bought a 2021 GeoPro 20BHS, this video was very informative and we did notice a couple differences they made in the past year of production. Maybe we will see you both on the road sometime. The only thing you didn't quite address that we have questions on....is our A/C. The controls on it seem quite basic and if they just added a digital thermostat or had the option for a remote for the A/C, that would be a game changer as well.
Hi @kimelewis!
I felt the same as you about the A/C controls. I also think a digital control would be an upgrade from than the simple dial controls.
After living in our Geo Pro for the last 1.5 years, it's not the controls that I’d really like improved, it's the noise. Specifically, when the compressor kicks in with a loud “thump” it wakes me up at night. If I ever replace or upgrade the a/c, I'm going to look at installing a Coleman Mach 10 NDQ (non ducted quiet)
I know overall this unit is quieter and I'm also curious if the compressor is quieter when kicking in.
Thanks for watching & commenting!
Hi Ben, absolutely loved your video. We have the exact same GeoPro 20BHS. I am curious about how you (or your fabricator) attached the 2” receiver to the rear of the camper for the bike rack. We would like to do so the same. We have been from Vermont to Florida and many stars on between with our GeoPro and love it.
Great Video!! I like the Mt Comfort Coffee on the bed! It the BEST!
Thank you for a completely honest overview. I appreciate it. Owned a Forest River Wildwood from 2017-2020. We lost it in the Oregon fires. Have not replaced our travel trailer still shopping. Thank you. JohnnieKaye Montgomery (She/her).
I made a trip to my local RV dealer yesterday to see what they had avalible. I was blown away by all the flaws I could see right in plan sight on brand new trailers. Most still had saw dust everywhere.
Yes, it’s an unfortunate reality.
There’s still much opportunity for quality improvement.
My attitude is this:
1. Be aware & buy the best rig you can.
2. Celebrate the advancements in quality. These advancements are not across the board, but are there with some brands. These advancements (like Azdel, aluminum framing and vacuum bonding) are complete game changers.
3. Keep the pressure on for continuous improvement.
Yes, they work too fast and get sloppy.
Saw dust is normal in any travel trailer or fifth wheel for first couple trips.
Great review, I suggest using some industrial adhesive behind the fridge facing next time, that with the trim should solve it.
Thanks for the tip @rick klein! For my initial fix I put some epoxy at the "snap together" points of that bottom trim piece. So far so good. After a few thousand more miles it has not come apart again.
Thanks for watching & commenting!
We our in our second InTech. Started with a Sol Dawn after downsizing and bought a Terra when they came out as it is the perfect fit. We looked at the Geo Pro but found the build not to par coming from Airstream. The selling point of InTech was Azdel one piece roof. All aluminum frame with the wood cabinets bolted to the Aluminum frame. Also Dexter TorFlex axels.
We have over 29,000 miles on our Terra I’ve r the last 22 months. I would never own a Travel Trailer without the full aluminum frame and one piece azdel fiberglass
Great video
I had researched campers for along time and was on the fence. But after watching your 6k mile review I realized the sturdiness of the product and placed my order for 19FD
Congrats @Nathan C!!
Let us know when you take delivery!
@@CrowdFreeRV will do! We are in Lafayette, La. when you are on an east bound trip let me know and I cook yall a Cajun Meal! Have yall ever stayed at CAJUN PALMS in Henderson, La just off I-10 near the Achafalaya Basin?
@@nathanc3396 dude Cajun Palms looks AWESOME! We’ll try to take you up on your offer! Will keep you posted when we look to head east.
Random fact - I’m normally a religious bacon & eggs breakfast guy. But... best breakfast I’ve EVER had was this bacon, shrimp, grits gumbo dish. It was from a place in New Orleans.
Thanks again for the invite. I’ll stay in touch. Y’all do the same!
Very informative and helpful video tour of your beautiful GeoPro. I'm curious as to what you have used to hang the pictures, magnetic knife rack, paper towel holder, etc? We are getting a GeoPro on Friday, and I would love to hang some things like this, but don't want to damage the walls?
Good review! I recently had the same gas situation! lol
Thanks for watching & commenting Ed! Glad you got through the gas leak ok!
Excellent detailed review.
Glad you liked it @Chimp 6! Thanks for watching & commenting!
Very informative video. What are the type and size of nuts you used to avoid the frame problem? Just bought a used geo pro 19fd and would like to prevent any issues?
Great video thanks for making and sharing! Ordered our E-Pro shortly back for delivery in March if all goes well! Hey love your specs (glasses) would you mind sharing make and model? :P
Will be picking up my Geo Pro16 in a few weeks. Thanks so much! I'll be adding Lock Tite (sp?) to my tool box...
Very good real world review. I like that you added a frame mounted hitch. What make and model is it? Thanks.
Thanks for making the video. I tried to find if anyone else had left a comment on this but how did you get the 2 in receiver hitch on the back of your trailer? I also have a Kuat and LOVE it.
Would like to see more of the baskets and things you have in the rv like the fruit basket set up above the sink.
I'll keep this in mind for a future video @Paul Terrazas! Thanks for watching & commenting!
Great review !
Thanks for watching & commenting Patrick!
Great video; I'm glad your closeup's are not intense. Do you realize there are few like you. We don't own the Geo but instead we have the cousin the Surveyor Legend 19bhle.Very similar to yours with a single axle. I personally didn't want a bunk house. But wife had this idea our adult kids would join us often..Not lol but guess what i have used the bottom bunk and have slept like a baby. Our TT is only 8 months since delivery. But ready to move to a larger unit couples camper. Well we dropped that move with gas prices averaging at $3.29 .. I miss 2016 to 2020 gas prices.
Thank you for your video. I am looking to do some camping and the Geo Pro is on my list of campers to look at. It's way up my list since watching your informational video.
Glad you found it helpful @Linda Dickson! Best wishes for finding a rig and future adventures!
Thank you for the very informative video!
Hey Ben, I appreciate your video and all the information you provided. I have a 2022 FDS19 and looking to add a hitch to the rear of my camper. I saw that you had done this on your unit and was wondering what hitch you used and how you had it installed. Also on your Dexter Axle video you had mentiioned you had an issue with your hitch and jsut gotten it fixed could you provide any info on that as well? Also liked your military video as it was also very informative. I'm an ex-82nd member and my brother is retired from the Military and we were unaware I could join him when you visits various bases. Thanks for all you do keep up the good work.
I am looking to purchase my first trailer … overall I’m stunned at the low quality and high prices!
Welcome to the United States! Land of greed and shoddy workmanship!
Great video appreciate your time and detail explanation,
We own 2022 Rockwood ultra light 2606ws which comes from the same family as Geo Pro ,
for over six months and 3000 miles on Midwest bumpy roads zero issues so far ,
quality is better than most of fifth wheel trailers with more aluminum than wood even bed support is made from aluminum frame,
I’d like to share my opinion on keystone trailers composite floor which is suppose to be mold free,
We looked many Keystone Outback trailers which seemed like a good quality but walking in any Outback’s is very flimsy and unstable which to me and my wife raised immediate red flags and made us look elsewhere,
River Forest Flagstaff Rockwood Mini light and Geo Pro trailers are way to superior and many aspects.
Great information, thank you!
You are very welcome @DebSmallTownFriendly! Thanks for watching & commenting!
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 …..
Thanks for the very informative review on the Geo Pro. Hubby and I just started looking at RVs today and will be first time RVers. We were really impressed what we saw and are even more impressed after seeing your review. We are leaning towards the bunk model but I'm having a hard time telling the difference between the different model numbers. Can you direct me to where I can find more info on the differences? Thank you!

Loved yor review.
Regarding your issue with a wet floor getting spongy even Airstream owners commented about it. Google shows articles, one is: Composit flooring: Making improvements for Traditional
Travel Trailers-Airstream.
Keep up the videos.
Great information, I'm close to pulling the trigger on one... curious, another years gone by since this review, have your opinions changed?
Great review, and congratulations on your anniversary. My question is, what do you tow your coach with, and do you use a weight distribution hitch/sway bar? I may just have to buy one of these units. Thank you again.
Hey Tony 👋!
I tow with a 2016 Ram 1500 4wd with the 5.7 hemi and factory air ride/leveling suspension.
.
For ease of hooking up and disconnecting I tried running without load distribution, relying solely on the auto-level suspension. I experienced a couple of issues with that. The suspension handled it and the rig rode well but:
1. I had a bit too much weight on my truck rear axle. I did indeed need some weight distribution.
2. I had a problem with trailer sway. On a good day it wasn’t a big deal. On a bad windy day it was stressful, exhausting, and at times dangerous.
.
So... I have solved the problem by installing a Hensley Hitch. I LOVE this hitch!! It completely solves the sway problem while allowing for easily dialing in the perfect amount of weight distribution. I’m going to do a video all about it soon. Stay tuned!!
.
PS - the Hensley is expensive. Don’t buy one unless you know you have a sway problem to fix. If you don’t have sway, there are other cheaper weight distribution hitches which will do the job just fine.
.
Thanks for watching & commenting!!
Great info. Thanks
Hi, thanks for the video, it helped me choose to buy the 20bhs for our family. While making my round to check that everything is right I remarked that the slide-out bottom seal has a constant gap and that the wheel could splash water durectly into the rear bottom slide mecanism. It doesnt look like it is fully sealed by design… Is your the same? Did you experience leaks in the bottom corners? Thanks for the info 😀
Good review! Very helpful. Question: How do you hang your pictures? We just bought a 2022 E-Pro FD and want a reliable way to hang pics without drilling.
Great video. The Geo Pro was one of two RV's that I really liked, but I went with the other choice. IBEX 19QBS It's very similar, Might have gotten Yours if I had seen this video first,
Congrats on your RV purchase @Todd idak! Safe travels. Thanks for watching and commenting!
excellent video, Thanks Im sold on Geo Pro
Glad I could help @ gus Paca! Thanks for watching & commenting!
Great review after some camping time. I'm toying with going from our large 5er to a smaller trailer. I've always liked Rockwood. I will transfer my lithium batts but don't want them outside since the unit will be in storage. Is there anywhere to install the batteries inside storage bay or under bed? I also am looking at the bunkhouses for storing two e-bikes when we don't have our grandkids. Will two fit if lower bunk is raised? Thank you.
They make Nylock nuts with a built in washer that has grooves in it that would never back off.
