Thank you so much for this informative video. We are getting ready to purchase one of these campers, and would like to know if you were able to get the oven, and slide out issue resolved? Thank you!!
Yes, both items were fixed under warranty by the dealer. We had no issues with either of those items that last 2 seasons. Here is a video of the oven after it was fixed, if you are interested: ruclips.net/video/8pezDM4BTYg/видео.html
Unfortunate to see all these issues. I'm looking to purchase a Flagstaff E-Pro. Not sure I'd. buy or take off dealership until every things is demonstrated and operational before I sign on the dotted line. I'll be making my list. Thanks for sharing your honest review.
Our TV was already all hooked up to the antenna on the roof. I did do a video on scanning for channels (ruclips.net/video/VxqMZaKo2mk/видео.html) and turning the antenna but I don't have any content for hooking it up since I didn't need to do that when we took delivery.
I picked up a 19 BH.. I had operator error issues the the locks on the entry way door.. wasn't using a thumb to close the micro circuit to release to door handle lock latch mechanism... Can't just use a closed hand to "pull open" the door latch. Quirky little nuance. Only other tic tac issue was poor quality install of upper bunk curtain..would bind and not retract up evenly....and latch retainer clip for cabinet door below bunks at floor level completely stripped out/ fell out.
Our camper came with a 1 year warranty. We had a small list of things the dealer took care of at the end of our first camping season. We didn't take it in earlier because we didn't want to be without our camper when we could be using it. We have had some troubles with the front door being difficult to shut (need to really slam the door).
I just checked the TV because I wasn't sure and it has several inputs: USB, HDMI, component/composite, and PC. The HDMI is already in use and goes up to the radio which has an HDMI input. I assume you would hook your HDMI up there and then switch the TV to the HDMI input. I have not tested this though so good luck!
You mention you had a heated bed/mattress that you plug in to the power tower. Did that come with your trailer or something you bought? Great videos, thanks.
@@thedroesslers Wow, that would be a nice sup prize if ours comes with one. You are the first person that has mentioned that. Was the cord just hidden at the head of the bed?
It is built into the mattress and comes out at the top/head of the bed. I looked through our videos and you can see it in this video at the 9 minute 39 seconds mark: ruclips.net/video/oZy170D8zIo/видео.html
The bed in the front comes with a heated ThermoSoft mattress cover. You can plug it in right at the top of the bed in the outlet that pops up. I hope that helps.
I have the Geo pro with the Murphy bed. There is no counter space as you mentioned and the sink is tiny. The first time we went out I broke the table, and my husband broke the bed ! You have to be careful because these campers are made to be light weight and everything is -well very light weight. But I love my camper, we have not had the issues you mentioned. Oh yeah- either I can't figure how to use the WiFi booster or it doesn't work, I tried once and gave up!
Thank you for your honest review. We’ve just ordered our camper last month and we’re learning quite a bit from your videos. Thanks for being so thorough! This will be our first pull behind camper. Happy Travels! ~Dr. Ebeling and family
We just did our first trip in ours. Definitely feel there is some cheap materials and construction in this (and most) campers. But overall it is really nice to have a little house with all the amenities that come along with it vs a tent. Thanks for posting about the slideout, disconnecting the motors will be a huge help if that ever happens!
There is another person with a suburban oven who said they put a piece of aluminum foil in the burner knob to push in a part that engages/keeps the pilot on.
Check all plumbing connections. Wrong fittings connected to “white hoses”, which both should not have been used, have been reported they commonly leak.
I am very interested in this trailer but not sure if its weight will overload my vehicle (max trailer rate is 4700 lb) when it is loaded. Could you tell me approximately how much does it weigh will a full water tank and the Items/essentials you have in it?
I don't know for sure. You would need to go to a weigh station to figure that out. We very rarely travel with any water in the tank and when we do it is only for a short distance. Filling the fresh tank will add a lot of weight to the trailer. The other things to keep in mind are the weight of the batteries, propane tanks, weight distribution hitch, and bike rack (if installed). I don't think any of those are included in the dry weight of the trailer.
You are amazing we love your videos!! We are looking at campers we can grow with and invest in . Loved the video of upgrading , really appreciated the fact you explained things, we are new to adulting so the information you provided was well said and super helpful plus you showed how to do it !!! Thank you so much
I like your videos a lot. They are very helpful. Can you share what the dealership said about the slide out not working and what was the cause? Have you also resolved the issue with the oven?
I really like your Rv. Couple things i'm wondering about, front door and windows. Does the front door have a screen door and if so, what do you think of it. How far do the windows open? And do they have screens?
The front door has a separate screen door so you can have the main door open with the screen door shut. The windows tilt out from the bottom. This mostly prevents rain from coming in even when they are open. All of the windows have screens. There are two smaller windows on the slideout sides that slide up and down (they open just half way). We like how many windows this camper has and we are able to usually get a nice breeze by opening the windows and using the screen door.
Ludi R - You can find the kitchen soap dispenser here: amzn.to/3bBXICc We do have an "Interior Accessories" video that you also might find helpful with interior solutions. The products are all linked in the description of that video.
Love your videos! I was thinking about same sized RV and your tips and reviews made me want to buy a 20BHS :) Looking forward to your next videos. Keep it up and stay safe!
Great walk through and love your videos! have a 2020 EPro 19FBS. Storage-envy on the under-seat storage in the dinette. One thing you might want to consider for the TV is a streaming stick. We use one to make it a "smart TV." You can choose Amazon Fire TV Stick, Chromecast, Roku or another that serve the same basic purpose. We connect it to the WiFi Ranger internal network or directly to our mobile hot spot and we can stream movies on a rainy night quite well. There is a USB port on our TV that powers it with a short connector cable. We also love that it's a 12V TV that can run off of the battery when boondocking. You haven't mentioned the use of your solar capabilities, wondering if you find that helpful / useful at all? Thanks again!
Another thing you can do with the TV if you have an android phone is get a USB C to Hdmi cable and mirror your phone screen to the TV. This works great if you don't have wifi or cellular signal at your campsite. You can download movies to your phone using Netflix or whatever at home and then watch without using any data.
You might start using a collapsible insert for your kitchen sink. Use a biodegradable soap and when you wash a few dishes you can just toss the water and soap outside.
Thank you for all of your great videos. I own the 2022 E-Pro E20BHS and am so impressed with the quality and design.

We have a camper like this and we can’t figure out how to hook the tv up?

Very informative! Thanks for your story!
Thanks for the video.
Considering about this model. Thank you so much for these videos!

Hi. Thanks again for your videos. An idea, you could connect your phone to the TV via a type c to HDMI cable and download the movies in your phone
I just checked the TV because I wasn't sure and it has several inputs: USB, HDMI, component/composite, and PC. The HDMI is already in use and goes up to the radio which has an HDMI input. I assume you would hook your HDMI up there and then switch the TV to the HDMI input. I have not tested this though so good luck!
Very thorough and helpful.

The heated mattress came with our trailer.

Great video and very informative! You mentioned “heated bed”. What do you mean by this?

Dude I got a geo pro 20bhs. Our model looks exactly the same! Thanks for all your videos and they are so intuitive!
Rockwood is owned by Forest River. They make the exact same campers just with different names and color schemes.
You can put a sticky-backed felt tab ( the kind meant for the bottom of chair legs) on the mirror where the handle hits the mirror.
I have the Geo pro with the Murphy bed. There is no counter space as you mentioned and the sink is tiny. The first time we went out I broke the table, and my husband broke the bed ! You have to be careful because these campers are made to be light weight and everything is -well very light weight.

The wifi booster sounds like a great idea for a video! Thanks.
Thank you for letting us know. We are looking at ordering a 19FD.
Great review! Very thorough indeed.
Thank you for your honest review. We’ve just ordered our camper last month and we’re learning quite a bit from your videos. Thanks for being so thorough! This will be our first pull behind camper. Happy Travels! ~Dr. Ebeling and family
You should get a oven lock. We have the fd. Our oven opened once.
Make sure you check the floor bolts to the frame. Reports of these bolts coming loose and the entire rv slides on the frame.
Do you have anything I can reference for this? This sounds important.

There is another person with a suburban oven who said they put a piece of aluminum foil in the burner knob to push in a part that engages/keeps the pilot on.
Thanks. I will look into that. It is at the dealer for service now. I am curious what they will say about it.
@@thedroesslers What did they say about the oven? My wife and I will be looking at an Epro in the spring.
@@chrism3562 They replaced the pilot light. We shall see in the spring if it works. You can follow our channel and we will report back in a new video.
Check all plumbing connections. Wrong fittings connected to “white hoses”, which both should not have been used, have been reported they commonly leak.

I don't think any of those are included in the dry weight of the trailer.
A gallon of water weighs 8.34lbs.
Full 30 gallon tank is an extra 250lbs.
You should probably have a bigger tow vehicle or look at a smaller camper

Thank you, we are happy to hear our videos are helping you.
I like your videos a lot. They are very helpful. Can you share what the dealership
said about the slide out not working and what was the cause? Have you also resolved the issue with the oven?
The camper went directly into storage after the dealer so I will be testing both of these when we get the camper out of storage in a couple months.
I really like your Rv. Couple things i'm wondering about, front door and windows. Does the front door have a screen door and if so, what do you think of it. How far do the windows open? And do they have screens?

9:1q I must ask, where’d you buy the Soap dispenser? Love the two in one design

We put a cutting board over our sink when cooking for more counter space!
Yes, great idea! We are doing something similar now too.

Thanks for the TV suggestion. We might do some boondocking this year so the solar capabilities will be important. We'll see how that goes.
