    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.

    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

    • @JoshtheRVNerd

      #1 comment people had on the 19BH was "if it had a dinette slide, then it would be perfect."

    @shanksworthy 4 года назад

    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.

    • @JoshtheRVNerd
      @JoshtheRVNerd  4 года назад

      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.

    You are one of the best in demonstrating campers on RUclips; 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.

    • @JoshtheRVNerd
      @JoshtheRVNerd  4 года назад +1

      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.

    Hi Josh I've always wondered if the TV's are smart TV's and if not could I option a trailer with one?

    • @JoshtheRVNerd
      @JoshtheRVNerd  4 года назад

      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.

    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

    • @JoshtheRVNerd
      @JoshtheRVNerd  4 года назад +1

      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.

    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!

    • @JoshtheRVNerd

    removing the head board ? Will that effect the warranty and do you do that in house ?

    • @JoshtheRVNerd
      @JoshtheRVNerd  4 года назад +1

      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?

      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.
