You guys rock. I'm so jealous! Here's a tip for you I just learned myself a week or so ago. The breakaway cable should not be attached to the same place the safety chains go. Because if the receiver hitch itself comes loose from the vehicle (e.g. some Chevys are known to have weak hitch welds) that breakaway goes with the rest. On my Tacoma I have nowhere else to attach it so I'm going to drill a hole and attach it there. A carabiner or d-ring would help as well. Safe travels!
I’ve really enjoyed your videos, we just purchased our first Geo Pro. Headed out next week for it’s first adventure. Thanks for the good information and content 👍🏻 safe travels
Pretty impressive Renee! Glad Jason is healing and you guys are back out! We just got the same model as you guys and went camping at Sleeper St Park in Michigan last weekend. I want to say thank you for giving me Ann Hughes name also. They are working my mom up for cancer and plan to see her if tests come back positive. Hopefully everything comes back fine. Lovin the Geopro! Happy travels!
Suzanne Gostek I’m happy to hear that your mom is in the best of hands:) Help her visualize herself healthy and spending amazing times together. Our thoughts create our reality and I know that she’ll be roasting marshmallows right along with you when the opportunity presents itself. Stay positive, have fun and enjoy everyday!!! Love vibes coming from us to you:)
Great job - make sure to emphasize putting the chocks under the wheels before unhitching from the vehicle (from the video we see it is chocked and you mention it in the end), but a lot of people forget to chock first before unhooking things .... you have a great system for packing up and setting up!
Mark Haney Great point! Chicks are always our first and last item... I see that I missed that in the edit of the unhooking portion - I’ll try to change it or make note of it - good eye:)
I love your videos, but i have to say that your chains need to be criss crossed under your hitch, this would support the hitch in case it separated from your tow vehicle. Only telling you this for your safety. Happy travels
We have the 19FBS and love it. We are adding a 1000-watt inverter ourselves. The dealer never showed us the rear panels in the storage area slide to give us access to that area and were always working through the interior by pulling the drawer out. We always use an external water filter so we don't have to mess with the internal filter. If you buy one, get the offroad package, the solar option and the hvac. Also, the wifi ranger works extremely well. WE use my cell phone as a hot-spot for it and the whole family then get's internet through the ranger without having to change their wifi settings every time we reach a new campsite. We can tow our 19FBS comfortably with a toyota 4-runner 6-cylinder anywhere at 59mph without burning too much gas. WE have towed our 19FBS up slopes in 4x4-granny-low that you could not drive up in a car by itself in two-wheel drive.. Rockwood sure has a winner. How do you two handle the table situation?
You guys have been awesome and have inspired my family and I with our Geo Pro 19QB - a couple questions that piggy back off your video. 1st, how is the over all shower time with the stock 6 gallon water heater? Any tricks from using the LP to keep it going vs. the electric setting? We’ve been out in our unit a few times and ours also has the water meiser thing and i can’t happy a happy medium with a decent warm/hot water for any amount of time. Was wondering if you encounterd something similar and had a work around? The other question seems silly but i can’t find anything to help set the key pad for the main door>? i can’t seem to find anything online either, some help if any, would be great! FYI - first time i post PERIOD on anything youtube related but figured you all would be a good source of information!
Do you have any issue with pulling the 19FBS with your jeep cherokee? What is the weight of the 19FBS? What is the Towing capacity (lbs.) for the jeep? I'm new to this and looking to get a 19FBS. I believe I saw that the towing capacity for the jeep was 2000lbs.
Thanks for the helpful videos! Quick questions for you, have you been able to run the heater during cold nights and keep the temp comfortable without using too much of the battery and propane? Just trying to get an idea of how often I would need to fill up the propane tanks if we are boondocking in a colder area that still has sun during the day to charge the batteries. Thanks again for all the great videos!
Josh Alexander We usually just run the heater once to get the chill off and then use the mattress heater at night. It seems to use less battery power and zero propane:)
Hi Guys...We got our GeoPro 19FBS about a month ago have had it out only once but love it (also love your videos and life vlogs)! Our tow vehicle is a 2018 Toyota Highlander. It does have a V6 engine but it did not have a tow package. It seems to do a pretty decent job but just wondering how your Jeep is equipped and if you find it adequate, since you've been everywhere (and that's where we want to go)! Hope your healing is going well and thanks!
Gee West Hi & thanks for watching! We have a V6 Eco on the Jeep with the factory tow package rated at 6500 pounds. It seems adequate for all environments - there are times on hot days in the mountains that I’m sure a V8 or diesel would be better but the V6 is “adequate” :) I don’t think you’ll have any problems and realize on those steep mountain grades the speed limit is usually 35-45 mph anyway plus usually two lanes going up & one going down... off road you’ll be going slow (like 5-15) so I don’t anticipate you’ll have a lot of problems :)
I see that you don't use a weight distribution hitch when towing, does this trailer/suv combo not need one and how does it tow on the highway without one? Thanks.
Hi guys my wife and I purchased the exact 19fbs and we love it. I was wondering if you use a brake controller and the weight distribution or sway control. I tow with a Ford E350 Super Duty van and thinking I might have overkill. I use all of the above. I'm switching vehicles of the same type but wondering if I need to move the brake controller mostly.
Randon Fawcett We use the brake controller - it’s always on & we especially use it downhill in the mountains and you won’t need the seay or weight distribution at all:)
It's a good idea to have a brake controller. We tow it with a 4-runner. your F350 should be plenty, but the break controller makes sure it's never pushing you. Tacoma makes a really good one.
@@googlemustdie GoogleMD, how is the towing with the 4 Runner? I'm planning on towing with an FJ Cruiser and I believe they have the same engine & tow capacity. Is it strong enough? Any advice?
We had the screws come loose on the door lock. blue threadlock fixed that. We also had a screw come loose on the metal trim on the front of the stove glass, again thread-lock. We had one of the back bolts on the stove-glass come loose, again threadlock fixed it. We needed to use a APAP when boondocking and were able to plug an inverter into the 12-vot receptacle for the tv. We could not run the electric heater and the inverter for the APAP or it would trip a breaker, but we could run the gas heater.
Jackie Barter I LOVE Vermont! Renee is working now so unfortunately we’re not full time unless I want to go solo or with my daughters. I’m trying to plan a trip from California to Colorado right now - just trying to coordinate schedules:) So yes, is the short answer lol
Hey guys! Just picked up my 2019 Geo Pro today ❤️ One question...I’m hearing a fan noise behind the panel inside the closet with hangers. All power has been disconnected. I’m assuming it’s running off of stored solar power. But what is it??
Sheri McGill Hmmm, I’m not sure about the new models - our fuse/electrical panel is located under the fridge on a black panel and has a cooling fan that will sometimes turn on... I “think” it’s probably something to do with electrical cooling or the inverter, but ours doesn’t do/have that, so I’m not sure 🤷♂️. Let us know if it stops or if you figure out what it is:)
Why did you cross your chains on top of the hitch instead of below it? Doesn't this really defeat the purpose of the crossed chains? seems to be more of a potential safety hazard than serving its real purpose when hooked up as you did. Not being critical in the least, but just pointing out something to consider thinking about.
Really glad I found your page! I have a trailer I pull with my Silverado and was thinking of getting a GeoPro. I happen to also have a Grand Cherokee Trailhawk I hadn’t thought to use to tow with. How does yours do? Any modifications? I noticed you don’t appear to have a weight distribution hitch? Any insight would be great.
indieelement What is the towing capacity of your trail hawk? It should be at least 4200# to tow a 3200# 19FBS. I’m about to do an episode on sway & towing.
indieelement Our Grand Cherokee has a 6500# tow capacity w the eco V6. We had plenty of power 90% of the time and adequate power 99% of the time even in the mountains in high temperatures. We Never had sway problems below 65 miles an hour. Another thing to keep in mind is that when you are in those high mountain areas the speed limit is generally 35 or 45 mph so performance is usually not a factor
We tow our 19FBS GEOPRO fully loaded with a toyota-4-runner 6-cylinder. It handles it very nicely at 59mph down the highway without burning too much gas. I have towed the trailer *fully* loaded in 4x4-granny-low up things you could not drive up in a 2-wheel drive 4-runner. The offroad package is excellent and the hvac and solar are awesome.
The sway bar came in handy when we were crossing New Mexico and the crosswinds were crazy. We actually passed a tow behind rig that had flipped over due to the winds. They did not have a sway kit installed. We currently tow our 19FBS with a GMC Canyon Diesel with 7K tow capacity. We also used it on our V6 GMC Terrain with good luck. We were actually over tow capacity with the Terrain as it is rated at 3500 lbs, but it towed great with the weight distribution. We went from Indiana to the OBX with no issues.
Thank you both for these videos! It is because of them that we also purchased a 19FBS. We noticed on this video that you have a jockey wheel on the front. Can you please tell us where you got it and what size, name of it is do that we can order one. Our dealership said they did not know anything about one. Thank you, Mike and Candace.
Candace Seets Dont worry about the jockey wheel - it sucks! We usually use a flat T bottom that is much more solid. The jockey wheel came with our unit and we just used it to look more “standard” because we thought that’s what everyone had:) I guess I does help a bit when maneuvering the tongue if you’re dropping it in a tight space like a driveway or garage. I would think you could pick one up on amazon or most RV dealers:)
Great Video! It seems you guys do mostly "boondocking" but I had a question about the GeoPro's sure power set up. Is there a power cord (30amp) that is already attached (or comes with) the GeoPro for electrical hookups? If so what is the length? Do you "hook up" 120v? If so, would love some info regarding that process. Thanks in advance! Happy trails!
aiir media We don’t use the sure power set-up for an external solar panel so I don’t know the details. There’s a power cord that comes with the Geo Pro to hook into AC power, but I don’t know enough about the plugs/adapters or what solar power source requirements you’d need - sorry for being so unhelpful but we just use the roof mounted system from the factory. Try the GoPower website or maybe another viewer will comment and have better info :)
Does your tow vehicle (think it is a Grand Cherokee) have a factory installed brake controller, or did you aftermarket, or just don’t use a brake controller?
Justin W. We have an aftermarket brake controller - I’m pretty sure we bought it at a place that sells/installs hitches. The controller and installation was under $200 total.

@@julieragland2910 I have the 2020 20BHS Geo Pro and my dealer wouldn't let me leave the lot without a weight distribution / sway hitch even though I have a 2011 QX 56 that will tow 8500...At first I thought they were just padding the bill but when I checked with some other experienced RV'rs they all said that even with only 4500 lbs behind me that it is a real good idea to have the beefer protection. High crosswinds and trucks passing at 80 MPH is not a thing to fool with....
You should not partially deploy your slide out as it will prevent it from sealing properly and you could get water intrusion into your rig. I highly suggest you undo whatever mod you did that is preventing your slide from fulling opening
We gave a great mod that we did to the closet to give us 5 additional inches of hanging storage. We removed the false panel and boxed the water and electric lines at the bottom. We moved the hanging rail to the right and added a hanging shoe organizer on the left. We roll up jeans and hoodies in the shoe organizer.

@@julieragland2910 I have the 2020 20BHS Geo Pro and my dealer wouldn't let me leave the lot without a weight distribution / sway hitch even though I have a 2011 QX 56 that will tow 8500...At first I thought they were just padding the bill but when I checked with some other experienced RV'rs they all said that even with only 4500 lbs behind me that it is a real good idea to have the beefer protection. High crosswinds and trucks passing at 80 MPH is not a thing to fool with....
You should not partially deploy your slide out as it will prevent it from sealing properly and you could get water intrusion into your rig. I highly suggest you undo whatever mod you did that is preventing your slide from fulling opening
We gave a great mod that we did to the closet to give us 5 additional inches of hanging storage. We removed the false panel and boxed the water and electric lines at the bottom. We moved the hanging rail to the right and added a hanging shoe organizer on the left. We roll up jeans and hoodies in the shoe organizer.
The chains must go under the hitch and not over !
I thought the same thing. With the chains under the hitch, it will help 'catch' it in case it gets unlatched while driving.
Paul C Idk, that’s just how they showed us when we bought it... we could’ve been doing it wrong the entire time haha!
@@GeoProAdventures I totally get that! This is our 3rd season camping (R-POD!), but love your Geo Pro and the videos. Keep the adventures going!! :)
Stephane Beaulac Idk, that’s just how they showed us when we bought it (I thought), but we could’ve been doing it wrong this whole time -haha! I know they said you cross them;)
Paul C Thank you! Any suggestions for content that you think newbies would benefit from knowing? I’m putting together some fresh content currently:)
You need to replace that ball and make sure you grease the new one every time you hook up.
Wrong way to hook up the chains !!! :(
