BUNKS, AZDEL, SOLAR, & SLIDE! 2021 Geo Pro 20BHS Ultralite Rockwood Travel Trailer RV Review

[@Drakesmypookie]

I can happily say that this is actually my Trailer! I will be picking it up this weekend! The team at Haylett has done an amazing job and I cant thank them enough! I would highly recommend their services! Top notch from from start to finish! Thanks team!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@cash_rblx6299]

I just ordered the same trailer at the end of December. So excited ! Can't wait to get it. Congratulations on yours. Let me know how it is.

[@EagleArrow]

Update? How do you like it?

[@FastlifeTodd]

What is your tow vehicle?

[@leveragecomics5067]

How do on you like it?

[@theroamincatholic]

Josh, I just wanted to comment THANK YOU for showing the unit with the slide-out in. I'm considering upgrading from my Mini Lite 2304 to a Geo Pro, and this floorplan is high on my list. I've been wary of slide-outs, because I frequently stay places where I can't put the slide out, but still need to be able to crash for the night. NOBODY does this, but you did. Just earned a subscribe from me, and I will be keeping an eye out for videos in the future.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

My pleasure! We've been showing slides closed for several seasons based on user feedback like this! Enjoy!!

[@theoutdoordad7395]

Great video! That GoPro looks fantastic, just wish the front bed was 60” wide. Totally agree on cabinets over oven. Love that fridge

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

You and me both!

[@cullinan18]

I've never used my rv oven in 2+ years, so definitely go with storage. Love these upgrades (but liked the previous colors slightly better). Sink added to the bathroom is great. 12 volt is the way to go! Great job Rockwood!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I totally agree!

[@cherylb82]

I wonder if it would've been more practical to a) just move the mirror over enough to give the door clearance. b) put the mirror on the back of the door. c) use a roller desk style slide up on the cabinets? I was bored and had too much caffeine before bed :)

[@BrittMFH]

Amazing smaller camper with bunks and a bed! Nice bath, too.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

It sure is!

[@loriw2661]

That is really cute. And it has a lot of great features and attention to detail.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I think so too!

[@eddygoodwin7089]

The blue tooth features on the solar and for the awning, lights, and slide are a pretty huge selling point too

[@Chimp_6]

Fantastic customer driven upgrades, glad to see Geo Pro always listens! Can't wait to see you review the new G19FDS when they come in.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

More to come!

[@georgeof78]

I would say oven over storage. You can use the oven for storage. My old RV I used the oven to store pots and pans. I tell you what though. You do a great walk through on RVs that when the time comes I'm gonna come there to pick up a geo pro. Been looking at the 19fbs and this model. I like this model as it can sleep 6 but the 19fbs has the sofa in the slide out. I know I'm splitting hairs here. Lol Be really cool once they go to a 12v AC.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Thx :)

[@jaykammerer2285]

Great video. A few questions I have are 1) How comfortable would a family of 5 (one is a toddler) be in it for 5-7 days? 2) How many 190w Panels could you get on the roof? 3) If we wanted to put a bigger TV in there, is that possible, and 4) Could a 3" bumper with 2" hitch receiver be installed on the rear frame? 5) Could a slide topper and ToyLok be installed?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Some attempts at answers: *FAMILY OF 5 COMFORT:* Comfort is a tricky thing as it's very subjective. Some folks are fine being packed in. I feel my family of 3 would get cabin fever in something like this. TYPICALLY a bunch of people in a small space yields a trade-up in less than 3 years. *ROOF PANELS:* I really don't know how much physical space for mounting is available up there, nor do I know if Rockwood made factory allowances in their laminated roofing for mounting points for additional panels. *TV SIZE:* I think there's some extra space for a larger screen, but not much larger. *HITCH:* No. The factory doesn't allow for that and the frame isn't friendly to those types of add-ons like a FW's thicker I-Beam frame The more I read your questions the most I think you would likely be happier long term with something just a small nudge in size up. Here's an example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYbSaGywiLCDaM0 though other options exist as well.

[@jaykammerer2285]

@@JoshtheRVNerd Thank you for your reply! Excellent info. I love this class of camper, but am limited to 22' (maybe 23' best case) on parking. If I resolve the parking dilemma, game on.

[@Arcturius01]

Have you seen the headboard removed? Looks like there'd be hidden runs under it for some of the exterior connections.

[@travelingatourownpace8868]

Ok I have what will seem to most to be a stupid question. Can you give me the measurement from the tip of the toliet to the door in the closed position?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Sounds reasonable. Give our team a call. They're best equipped for specific inquiries like this one!

[@TonyYarusso]

That change to the MoRyde step is a surprisingly big deal... The previous version would be fine when set up for a week, but a huge pain for single nights, quick rest stops, or other brief usage - problem solved now.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Agreed... and for someone like me who is messing with these steps and moving trailers LITERALLY EVERY DAY.... oh man... I couldn't be much happier

[@sjackson1739]

Waiting for them to build with a compact washer/dryer, bathtub and 4 off road wheels, winterized underside. They are all nice though.

[@DM-tf6mk]

Nice unit. I would have to agree about not wanting the carpet. I'd pull it up and If I couldn't match the floor, I do accent laminate floor or something like that

The solar panel and converter only runs the light TV will it run the refrigerator the hot water tank or the AC unit

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Converter turns 110 shore power into 12v for lights, fans, etc Inverter turns 12v battery power in to 110 power to run the outlets The inverter in this RV runs all the outlets. It will not power the microwave or AC The fridge is powered directly by the battery

Awesome review. This will be my next trailer and would love to buy it from you but I'm in Canada. Keep up the great work!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Here's some updated footage for you :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHq8Z56tZp5phas

[@yvettestewart8002]

Can you replace the dinette for theater seats? That would make this trailer perfect!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

No, not in this one. You can't put a theater seat in a slide that's a big step up above the wheel wells like that. Your head would be up thru the slide ceiling. needs to be floor-flush slide So if you size this one up enough to make room for a theater seat you get this one: → kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqOxinmCn7p2ack You'll see a U-Dinette in that, but theater seating is possible there

[@yvettestewart8002]

@@JoshtheRVNerd Thank you for the info. The backs of the theater seats didn't seem that high to me. I'm only 5'1" so height in any trailer is never a problem. I wanted to make sure the weight of the slide could handle the seats. Also I like the bunk room in the back. I would have to upgrade to 2509 mini lite, which is 3 ft longer. Quick 2nd question. I want to double tow with this trailer. I want to put a 5'x8' trailer holding a sidecar on the back. Possible total weight of bike and trailer is 1300 lbs. Is this possible? I also looked for a toy hauler but the never look as nice and homey as travel trailers. Also I travel without the bike if needed.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

@@yvettestewart8002 It's not the back of the theater seat that's the challenge -- rather it's the bottom of the slide. The slide out in this does not go all the way down to the floor. When you start a theater seating 6-9" higher, then you're suddenly sitting far higher up than intended. The small sofas you see in this RVs are actually basically setting directly atop the raised slide floor but it looks/feels more natural since they rest at a more organic height Regarding double towing: That is not legal in 48/50 states. The trailer is also not built for that kind of use from the factory with an accessory hitch rather than a towing hitch. Provided your local statutes allow for doubles towing you'll need to have a fabrication shop bulk up the framework & run some trailer wiring for the 2nd trailer. We are unable to provide that level of modification for you here at our facility.

[@landonthomas8543]

What do you think of taking those cabinets off under the bunks and putting another mattress for a small kiddo?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I think it’s weird more rvs don’t do it

[@markraven173]

I would like to know the price of it with an oven and can the dinette be taken out and put in Theater seating

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Pricing at www.bishs.com/rv-search?stocknumber=20bhs Oven now standard Theater seating is not possible. It physically cannot fit in that slide type

[@brianlane9534]

I looked at a 2022. 4.3 cu ft refrigerator. Is this bigger? Small refer.. too small

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

No that sounds right. I always get this size wrong

[@patlsmith404]

Thank you for the honesty and informative video.🇺🇸😎

[@wolfseek]

Can you add more solar panels

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

190w factory standard Can add +1 more 190w w/o changing any hardware/wiring Also has a side-plug for a portable panel So could get nearly 500w w/o changing anything up really

Will those bunks support adults around 170lb? The Winnie hike bottom bunk broke with a 200lb person.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

These should be fine. I haven’t seen Rockwood rate anything less than 200lbs

[@IsaacBarrera7]

Did this have a spare tire? Perhaps under?

[@eurogryphon]

As someone who is single I have to wonder: how much more extra space and off-grid longevity could you get if you were to pull out both bunks and convert the bunk area to a walk-in pantry with extra food and water?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I have seen it done. All depends on what you like and what works for you!!

[@adamsteel4231]

Is there a model like this with dual axles? I love this floor plan, length, and boondocking options. The single axle is a no-go though. Thanks.

[@elenamour2001]

if, like you said, the company cannot install a couch instead of dinette - can i have this camper without dinette?? i will just place sofa-recliner-bed instead or even massage chair and recliner chair combination

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

*MAYBE...* Some companies will not deviate from the plan even if it means leaving something out

[@elenamour2001]

@@JoshtheRVNerd since you are working so closely with the manufacture, on behalf of your customers, you can pass the message of option of leaving this slide empty (for the same price),so customers can fill that space to their likings (and see how that will soar their sales)

[@christinestrange7177]

i have a 2023 Ford expedition all wheel drive with tow package says it has gross weight of 6000 would i be able to tow this camper.?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Vehicle’s gross weight doesn’t tell us what the tow rating is as it turns out. I think you’re fine but without actual specs I cannot say for certain

[@lisabevans8107]

As I said before Josh this is the one trailer that just totally fits my needs -1 thing and it's the 1 thing that you said that you thought it wasn't a big deal. I will tell you why it is for me my daughter has cystic fibrosis she cannot have carpet around her not a little not a lot but if it weren't for that carpet this is a 100% the 1.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Awesome input. TY. I would definitely like to see it removed. I'm surprised they left it in the slide considering how it's trimmed out

[@richardkoch8752]

Josh the honesty is always appreciated :) Is azdel in the rear and front walls? Really like the new interior color, REALLY LIKE the larger sink.....that is a HUGE benefit! Happy as all get out to see the rigid solar panel......room to put another 190 up there? Would love to make this a "Solar Queen" four Battleborn Li's, upgrade the inverter to a Multiplus 3000 watt, larger solar controller Do you feel the excitement Josh? As always: another great walk through!!!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Basically in a Geo where it's laminated it's generally Azdel.

[@bartscave]

I've had mixed answers whether a 2017 Toyota 4Runner SLT (5000lb/500lb hitch) can tow this. I've been told tongue weight is quite bit more than advertised, especially with full propane and dual batteries.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Factory hitch weight is always empty so of course it weighs more with propane, batteries, and cargo. That's also why you need to factor a proper load distributing hitch. Assuming max cargo you're super close to your max capacities. With cargo evenly distributed you'd be in the black, but RIGHT at your max. For limited towing... probably ok. For frequent/long towing You'd probably find the experience uncomfortable

[@YouGumppy]

This is one of those units that whispers "it's a little more than you imagined you wanted, but anything smaller isn't enough." I see on the detail listing for this unit that it has leveling jacks. I'm sure you'll want to change that to stability jacks.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Sorry -- but which listing where? Neither the information in this video's description or on our website indicate leveling jacks.

[@2wheelAdv]

Will the AC run off the solar with the 3k hybrid inverter?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

A 3k inverter should kick over most any air unit

[@2wheelAdv]

@@JoshtheRVNerd thanks, we are narrowing it down to units we can run all the electronics via solar with the upgraded inverter.

[@TonyYarusso]

Are they still putting ancient PWM solar controllers in these instead of modern MPPT ones?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I need to verify actually. I forgot to check when this one rolled in. Will try to mention in last video

[@silaslongshot941]

They don't seem to 'stand still' on the Geo Pro line at Rockwood, which is great for customers! I suppose the crossover features will be shared on the new line of 19FD, etc like the steps leg adjustment improvement?

Agreed! Rockwood's goal is always to be "one step better" than anything else out there. I love how they never rest on their laurels

I’m also going to be cat camping and this layout has all the features I’d like plus an area for the cat litter box to go and be able to access from outside! Extra sleeping arrangements is also great. I plan to tow with a Lexus GX, and believe with the options this should still be a great option weight wise. My only question is does this camper have the option for a sofa instead of the table?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

It's 300lb *rated* -- not 300lbs in weight. So it can hold my fat self LOL There are no furniture options available at this time

[@DouglasDoNascimento]

The "white wash" interior colors of last year's model was perfect - much better looking. They made a mistake changing the color scheme. The new sink and the new refrigerator are awesome. Thank you for another great review. BTW, this model is an absolute rarity and nearly impossible to find in east Texas. I don't get that!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I wonder if it's simply due to popularity. We have a hard time keeping them in stock ourselves...

[@anandsalodkar]

Can you plug in an additional solar panel on the side along with the solar that's already on top to get some extra juice? Also, will the panel on the side port require its own charge controller?

TPO roof membrane

[@zonacrs]

@@JoshtheRVNerd Thank you.

[@zonacrs]

You're welcome. Some things to pass on to Rockwood if you would like. 1) Integrate a weBoost cell booster option, or at least a factory pass through option next to the wi-fi antenna. This would make using LTE easier in low signal areas or parks with no wi-fi. 2) This floorplan screams for a sofa/love seat in lieu of the dinette similar to the 19FBS. Those 2 things would make me write a check yesterday. I'm nearing retirement and plan on fleeing Phoenix for the White Mountains in the summer time, perfect small rig for that.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

@@zonacrs Rockwood was ahead of the wifi/lte curve with their WiFiRanger integration. From the factory it's a WiFi Access point/repeater, but has an LTE upgrade option you can apply Regarding the sofa - I've been asking more and more brands to build layouts like this with a sofa + folding table but so far they've been so strapped for production they just couldn't make the special build

[@zonacrs]

@@JoshtheRVNerd Thank you. Does the LTE upgrade include integration with cell signal boosters? This may sound ignorant but it's an honest question. Regarding the sofa, thanks. I realize the slide is a bit smaller but a jacknife sofa sleeper in this floorplan would be the shizzy. Just don't see the value of a dinette in a coach this small where you have to strain your neck just to look around the coach or watch the television. You have the best reviews around by the way, that's the reason I watch from Arizona.

[@noahtramposh3350]

Josh, can a white slide topper be put on? Thanks Buddy!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Physically? Yes. Should you? No actually. There is not enough of a height-drop from the top of the sidewall to the top of the slide flange. It will cause the slide awning to actually angle back toward the camper which means you're directing water and debris TOWARD the RV/Seals instead of away.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I'm afraid I'm not really able to offer any sort of specific insights with limited information and would first recommend speaking with the location from which you purchased the RV It sounds like you had one item of significant concern

[@jacobjacobs24]

Yes, I've already taken my 2022 Geopro back to the dealership where I got it. This particular Brand/model has been prone to have water leaks throughout the RV. I was told it will be covered under the manufacturer warranty since the interior city water connection behind the wall was defective and broke which caused major leaks. The dealer said it would take about 3 months to get fixed from the manufacturer in Indiana. Do you know anything about these leaks?

What is the max weight supported by the bunks? Can adults sleep in there?

Usually the biggest hiccup with bunks is their 74"-ish length. I'm 200lbs and I crawl on them all the time for reference.

Well I've been doing my homework and it was a little confusing at first. But it turns out they're both Forest River products. You've got the Forest River No Boundaries and GeoPro by Rockwood (also Forest River). In this case it's the G20BHS vs 19.8 for NoBo. So, it appears that the GeoPro is a hair more upscale to the No Boundaries. It's not much. GeoPro has the outdoor kitchenette and large storage door by the bunks. Outdoor kitchenette is one of the features that you can't find on any of the NoBo's. I literally just got back from the RV dealer to look at the NoBo. An issue I'm coming across is there aren't any GeoPros available in Oklahoma so I can't go check it out. I really appreciate your reviews - I watch them all the time. Thanks for the reply.

@@carltuckerson7718 Something to remember -- "Forest River" is really just an overall banner -- like a holding company in a way. Each "division" or brand at Forest River is fiercely independent of one another and absolutely operates at market competition Generally speaking a NoBo is really just an R-Pod with a revised front end where Geo is truly a "mini travel trailer" They're both fine products in their own respects. Geo generally "speaks" a little more to an audience seeking upscale features with a heavy balance of on and off grid features NoBo has over time directed themselves a little more to the "on the trails" crowd Two sides to the same coin in that sense.

Can a 2017 Chrysler Pacifica @3,600 lb max tow this?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

As much as I'd like to make your day I 100% do not feel this is an appropriate pairing for a Pacific with that rating. The empty weight of this RV is already occupying 100% of your max tow rating And that's before a shred of cargo is added. Even something 3,000lbs empty on the nose is uncomfortably heavy for that vehicle pairing, but at least in the upper segment of your safe towing ranges. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmGtY2SBfa6midk is an example of something that is already heavy enough I'm squirming in my seat by even linking it, but THE ABSOLUTE MAX you should ever look at and ONLY if you plan on minimal cargo for shorter trips

Hi Josh! This is a great trailer model!! Geo Pro is one of the ones we are heavily considering for order just after New Years. Do you know if that larger refrigerator will be an option for the 19FD? We plan to do 1-2 wk trips. It would be awesome for a bit more fridge space, to include one that has that stand alone freezer vice a tiny freezer inside the fridge.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

They offer no fridge options. It'll have what you see here which is a fridge w/separate freezer

[@campingalan]

@@JoshtheRVNerd Ok...awesome! Yes...I guess I meant "larger than what was in the 19FD". But, rephrasing the question, yes....I also meant will they offer that split frig/freezer in the 19FD? Thank you very much for your response!! Hmmmm....that extra storage by flipping up the bunk bed is very enticing. But, we just can't get by with the east/west bed to do that model.

It’s spooky to me how few trailers use Azdel and still use Louan which too me is a downright scary material to include in trailer construction because of its vulnerability to water, rot and mold. BTW: No Tricks to go with this Sweet Treat of a unit. As always, another great one in the bag! Happy Halloween!!!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Even azdel using trailers typically only use it under only half the sidewall with wood-based materials used in may other areas of the RV -- including laminated floors. Azdel is actually not the ideal material for floor lamination as it has less weight bear capacity across a span vs. lauan. It also has notably less screw retention strength vs lauan. Different materials have different benefits!

Is the Geo Pro 20BHS the biggest Geo Pro?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Pretty much. They have a few around the same size right now. Geos try to stay at 20ft total length or as close as possible After that you start being introduced to the Mini Lite series of Rockwoods

[@MrBklein31]

Another Great Video. The only question I have is Rockwood and Forest River connected in some way? Their models look very much alike. The GeoPro has been my favorite, but the Forest River has two axels, which I like. Are they made the same otherwise?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

This is likely more info than you need, but I think based upon your inquiry you'll appreciate the details * Rockwood is a member of the Forest River "Group" of RV companies, but "Forest River" itself doesn't directly build anything. Rather, think of it like a collection of unrelated competitive companies under a shared banner. * Rockwood actually PRE-DATES Forest River & was Forest River's very first acquisition after reforming from it's previous incarnation as "Cobra RV" * Think of each "division" of Forest River like a separate RV company. Rockwood, Cherokee, and Wildwood are all "Forest River Products," but they have *nothing* to do with one another & see each other as direct market competition * Rockwood has a sister/clone called Flagstaff -- perhaps that's what you're thinking of when mentioning "The Forest River has two axles" -- I'm not sure which division you're referencing. Other than the Geo Pro seen here ALL other Rockwood travel trailers are also dual axle units themselves Hope that helps!
