What your dealer should have told you part 3 - at the campsite

If you just bought a GeoPro camper or are just thinking about getting one, this is the third part of a three part series that goes through everything you need to know to use your GeoPro successfully. In this part I show how to set up and break down your GeoPro at a campsite. The GeoPro in the video is a 2021 19FD, but most of the information should apply to any GeoPro or E-Pro. It's the informa...

Central USA Trip 2021 Episode 7 - Grand Rapids and Indiana Dunes
Stayed at Badlands Hotel and Campground , in August of 24, in there Hotel part. One minute from the south east entrance. You can see Badlands from there. Full hookups. Will be going back with the RV. They’re next to Interior S.D.
Best video ever on geo pro, bought one few months ago had a lot of questions. Amazing details thank you.
Awesome, thank you!
Excellent video. Thanks
Glad you liked it!
I notice that you have a black/white checkered sticker on your trailer. Is that for fords protrailer backup assist? I notice that it’s vertical not horizontal. I’m trying to figure how to set it up on my GoPro without any vertical space available
Any suggestions on how to set it up would be appreciated
I added a steel strip of metal to the frame to hold the sticker upright and to make it more visible to the camera. Having said that, it still loses sight of the trailer all the time. It is really not a very good system.
@@TheHorizonAwaits I was thinking of attaching a piece of angle iron on the side of the frame to keep it horizontal 🤷🏻
I’ll let you know what I come up with
We are looking at same camper 2025 this was an amazing informative video actually blew my mind with things we would never have thought of as we will be new to rv camping thanks for the info and your time much appreciated
Great to hear!
Outstanding job on the 3 part video. You did much better then any dealership does. Well done!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, thanks!
This place is the worst RV park i've ever stayed at! The management in this office is disgusting! Filthy and load!
Better than my PDI at dealer. Thanks!!
Thanks!
Does anyone know what the amp usage is for the AC (startup and running). I know it uses 13500 BTUs.
It uses more than 15 amps; probably near 20 on startup. After starting, it will use about 10-12 amps. This is the reason you can't normally run the AC on a 15 amp circuit.
Glad I watched all 3 really good job explaining everything
Thanks!
@@TheHorizonAwaits we just bought our geopro and this was so helpful we even made the list
Hello, we bought our GEOPRO used and it is a 2018. LOVE your videos, do you know where we can get a copy of a checklist?
You should be able to download the spreadsheet at this link: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LiD1VwM6qFlw_rtRAjld1z0MHV8__K-S/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=103421308754624224681&rtpof=true&sd=true
It’s Sioux Falls. Please correct your spelling when referring to the place in which you’re informing people about.
you are in correct the valve on the water heater is not a drain it is a tpc valve to prevent the tank from exploding , the drain is the plastic plug on the bottom just to the right of the button you were pushing.
How could we be provided your amazing checklist? I’m not seeing anywhere to download. - amazing videos…so glad we found you!💕
It is in the response to the first comment on this video below. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the review! Very informative.
You're welcome and thanks for watching!
You need to be more careful with a single axel than a double since if you get a blowout, one side of your camper will be dragging. On the plus side, you save a lot of weight, so your tow vehicle choices are bigger. I highly recommend closely watching your TPS monitor, it can usually tell you before a blowout happens.
Thank you for the video. Been looking at Geopro 19FD but worried about the single axle.
thank you for the video
You're welcome!
Very informative 3 part series. You went through way more than the dealer did. Thank you!
You're welcome and thanks for watching!
Excellent work! Extremely helpful and MUCH better than my dealer’s orientation.
Thanks for the compliment and I'm glad it helped!
Awesome videos! Only one suggestion. As a nurse, I would like to point out that germs travel via air, vapor and contact. On a hot day, sewer gases expand and further facilitate their travel. It really is much safer to keep your clean circuit forever separate from the dirty circuit. It’s just not worth the risk. I mean, if I was your nurse, would I be able to add an air gap to your urinary catheter and use your IV tubing to give it a rinse before reaattching it to your IV? 😮😮 That whole sewer circuit is chock full of nasty little critters. Keep your water hose off of it. Thanks for the hard work that went into making these very nice videos.
I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean use a separate hose when doing a black tank flush? If so, remember there is a one way valve on the indoor part of the hose and it already adds a couple of feet to the connection to the black tank. If you still worried about gasses coming back up the hose, then by all means, use a separate hose.
As an experienced ICU Nurse, I also don’t know what she means lol.
Great video, I'm flying over from England to Minnesota in a few weeks and spending 3 months in your great country.. I'll also be spending 10 days camping at the campground/site and cannot wait to see Badlands, great channel and thank you for the video, #paulbhustlin85 RUclips channel ❤🇺🇲
Hope you enjoy it and thanks for watching!
Wow, well done. I’m about to buy a Geo-pro so this is perfect. Thanks !
Glad I could help!
Just a suggestion. Don’t use those screw clamps. They are terrible and will loosen over time. Use a T Bolt Clamp. Those are better designed for water hoses
If you keep your grey tank closed as well as the black tank you will probably accumulate enough gray water to 'flush' the hose after emptying the black tank, which is probably a good thing.
Great video. Thank you so much. could someone share the link to the wedge pillows. I am getting a 2024 geo pro and wanted to get them for it.

Do they have a laundromat?
I don't remember seeing a laundromat, but I didn't really look. You could probably give them a call.
They should have told us that everything will fall apart or come loose due to poor construction...
All I have to say is Thank you Thank you and Thank you.. all this is new to me and I may not know everything but I have learned alot in your 3 part series!!!!
Glad you it helped! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for putting together this three part series. I just purchased a new 20FBS and I got more useful information from you than I did from my dealer!
You're welcome. I had the same problem, so that's why I made it. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the great video description of this project! Pro-tip: You may want to take a look at a Roto-Zip tool for the cut-out work you do. Lots less chance of cutting into electrical-plumbing lines if you set it up right, and your edges will be a lot cleaner. I have a Bosch jigsaw too, but the Roto-Zip is a really good alternative to the jig saw.
Are the propane tanks the same as the ones you exchange at a grocery/hardware store?
Yes.
I'm going to guess that Dan is an Aquarius and Karen is an Aries.
One of the best upgrades Rockwood made was new thermostats that set temp and control heat and AC right from the factory.
One thing they didn't tell you is when you first roll out the awning is you should only go out about a foot and let it sit for a couple of minutes to let the oil in the shocks settle or you can shorten the life of them.
Good videos, some don't get a through orientation or if you bought it used, don't get one at all. I'd like to add this. The very first thing to do when you pull into a campsite, is to check to make sure all the utilities are working. Nothing more frustrating than leveling, unhooking and connecting the utilities only to find out one or more are not working and you have to break camp to move to a different site. So turn on the water, check the electricity with circuit tester and make sure there are no problems with the sewer. I've had problems with all of these.
Good point, Thanks for watching!
Thanks for your easy going and thorough explanation through all your 3 part series. I just bought a new Geo Pro and really did not have any idea about all the systems or how to do some of these tasks. Feeling much more confident on heading out for our first time. Best videos I have found. Thanks again.
Glad it was helpful! Good luck with your new Geo Pro!
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 bought a used 2018 Geo Pro that had none of the owners manuals. I have had it over a year and these videos have saved me from selling it! Could not figure out how things worked. Thank you~
You're welcome and thanks for watching!
Really appreciate your videos! Just bought a 2019 19fd. You mentioned the bathroom light was on another breaker. Could you share where that breaker is. I can’t get the bathroom light to work even after changing the light itself and checking the wiring. Thank you.
I'm glad the video helped! It's not on another breaker, just a different circuit. It still works even when the interior light switch is turned off on the control panel. If your light doesn't' work, the bulb might be out or the switch broken. I would take down the light and see if it has power (if you have a multimeter) when the switch is on. If so, the light needs to be replaced. If not, maybe the switch is broken.
Awesome Thank you.
I’m sure somebody has already said it but Geo and these other RV companies should sponsor you or send you some freebies. I’m positive these videos have given the push to a bunch of people to buy RV’s. I’m one of them. Just gotta get a decent enough truck to tow one of these babies.
From your lips to Forrest River's ears! Thanks for the compliment and I'm glad it helped!
I agree!!
Thanks Dan you the man!!
I bought a New one in 2021 and there were NO OWNERS MANUAL OR INSTRUCTIONS with it. I thought that was TRASHY on their part!
Can you send us your check sheet?
Sure. You should be able to download the spreadsheet at this link: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LiD1VwM6qFlw_rtRAjld1z0MHV8__K-S/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=103421308754624224681&rtpof=true&sd=true

Thinking of buying this camper. The most informative video I have found. Thanks!
Thanks. The video is a little out of date for the new models, but most of it will still apply.
I just got Geo Pro 19 FD, picking up this week! Thanks! It’s very helpful!
Thank you and thanks for watching!
