Flagstaff E Pro Review - 19FBS - First Time RVer's

Our video highlighting the 2020 E Pro 19FBS and the reasons why we love it for boon-docking and full time rving.
We plan on heading West and up into Canada. The trailer is insulated a-lot better than other trailers, comes with solar, aluminum framed, slide out, full size fridge and oven are the reasons that made us choose the E Pro.
I installed 2 Lion Energy UT1300 batteries and have now been able to boondock for over a week straight. Use code 7k at checkout to save 15% off all Lion Energy Products.

Congrats guys, my wife, Deb, & I are still looking for ours, Rock On & God Bless!!!

[@chesson61]

Thank you for the review. With so many rigs out there this simplifies my choice!

[@BrokerBarbara119]

Just saw this as I'm considering the same rig. Looking forward to your travels!

[@emmadessecker4311]

My grandparents just bought this camper from All Seasons RV, and it’s AMAZING. i cannot stress this enough, between, the fact you can use the stairs on uneven ground, the tire monitor, and just the solar in general it’s amazing in itself. we go camping with my two grandparents, me, their dog, and sometimes my mom, and it’s perfect for us, now we won’t use it to stay in 24/7. we are using it to go to places and travel. so far it’s absolutely amazing. (we’re towing it using a 2014 Ford F-150. w/ the towing package and sway bar) (also, the back up camera has one way audio, so it’s like a security system aswell as a back up camera) absolutely amazing! (I also have to add, we had Alex as our salesman, and i was absolutely astonished by the fact, that he was so upfront about everything, he was honest, and didn’t hide anything, absolutely amazing!!) 10/10 recommend this camper!!

[@chrisellington7964]

I am actually saving up for one of these now. I love travel channels and you guys seem pretty awesome! Subscribed and cant wait to see what other videos you guys have.

Thank you!

I just got the 2020 E-pro E15TB excited to take it out for a ride, i might do videos too

[@ROBSOLUTELY]

Wow! It's really nice. Just subscribed to your channel. Will be watching all of your videos in time.

[@jeremyharris6635]

I like the fact you can loop the shower water when waiting for it to get hot instead having to run it filling the tank waiting for it to get hot.

[@BennyTygohome]

Really nice trailer with great features. Good overview. Thank you.

[@deborahbutler2703]

We are considering buying the same model when I retire in September. Look forward to your updates. You are a cute couple

[@AustinAdams]

Thanks for the walkthrough

[@bobbyb.6644]

New and Nervous😌 Use checklists and NEVER Rush. Do a last walk around looking for anything left unplugged or hanging off. Boondocking in freezing weather always risky! Good camping - Thankyou for your service🤗

[@Goldberryvil12]

Yes! Checklists, checklists, checklists!

[@lizcedillo4602]

Cool. Yeah I'm interested in getting one too. Videos would be great.

[@dominica2765]

And God bless you guys in your journey

[@soloncoleman2691]

Great video.

[@billg1527]

We bought the 2020 Geo Pro 19fd murphy bed no slide, Don`t try to do below freezing camping even with your tank heaters your lines will freeze and be a nightmare, also get rid of that factory installed water filter, they are known to break and leak. Join the facebook forum for E-pros and Geo Pros, lots of help and ideas on there.

[@rondosanto344]

Great video guys i Wish you guys some great experience. Am looking for something that size since i have a jeep wrangler, it's that what she's getting? Next time get the dog in i have two myself.

[@dodgernitro07]

I would like to see any issues with the unit and or repairs as they arise. Also love to see any mods or even ideas on storage solutions. I am looking at this unit for the near future. Good luck with your travels . Thanks

[@JamesVonwiegen]

I am doing an update video in about 3 weeks with everything we have done and what not. Stayed Tuned!

[@rgrass2]

I have the FD. One thing to be aware of. If your outlets ever fail from an overload you have tripped the inverter. All your power goes through your inverter even if it is not on. The reset switch for it is located behind one of the outside storage panels. Neither your dealer or Forest River tell you this. I had to find out the hard way when my outlets failed and I had to take it to a RV repair. Cost me $200.00 and Forest River will not reimburse me. Do not believe you have Roadside Assistance. When I requested it with their 800# they as much as told me that and that it would take 5 days before they could send somebody to repair it. You may want to pull your drawers and reinforce the bottoms. They are incredibly flimsy and will not take very much weight. Randy

[@Thejohnnyoshow]

yep, its the stupidest crap i have every seen, i hate rockwood, they build crap, and who the hell every thought it would be a good idea to put the inverter that has a breaker on it, in an inaccessible area

[@Thejohnnyoshow]

@@KampyKamper well thats good to hear, i ended up removing the whole panel and making it a deeper closet with shelves, and access to the inverter. So i don't have to worry about tripping the breaker by accident in the future beings i now can access it easily

[@patricklondon6006]

You may want to pick up more solar panels if you plan on boondocking a lot.

[@sherimcgill6487]

Yes the 2019 has the windshield

[@brent8052]

I really like these and the Jaycos. What made you decide on this model other then Jaycos ( if you looked at Jaycos ).

[@veganoverlander]

Cool. We just came back from an expo and decided to get exactly this camper

[@JamesVonwiegen]

@@veganoverlander keep posting have you two

[@Thejohnnyoshow]

dont do it

[@adamn9450]

how is it in snow and winter?

[@lrcreamer]

Almost bought the same one until I saw a review that they use waferboard for the floor. I then selected the winnebago micro mini that has a sealed floor for cold camping and double axle and bigger fridge and plywood floor. It does have a lot of bells and whistles.

[@JaredFMansfield]

What made you choose plywood over OSB for a floor base?

[@lrcreamer]

Osb absorbs water and swells up

[@zigzag9133]

I very nice camper also. The micro minnie is heavier. Some of us are limited on the weight.

[@brent8052]

I asked on another video of yours , but i was just wondering why you chose this brand/model over Jayco or Geo , l really like them all , can’t really make a choice yet. thank you

[@SmoothOperator150]

One more thing, what size is the bed? And do you sleep as it looks now? Or sideways?

[@SmoothOperator150]

I didn’t read all the comments but a Honda EU2200i will kick ass for that camper, it’ll run your AC, but not your AC and microwave at the same time, but it’s small lightweight and it’ll be a lifesaver when your in a hot muggy climate!

[@SmoothOperator150]

I have a 06 (older) 5th wheel and that lil generator runs my AC… so I’m sure yours is smaller and more energy efficient, get a brake controller for the Jeep, this was a great video, don’t sell yourselves short! Lol… after watching this I think you’ve got me convinced on getting the same model, the 5th wheel is just to big for what we want to do. I love how your wife threw in that accent when she was talking about your ikea purchases 😂 thank you for your service and I hope y’all have a blast with your new setup!!! ✌🏼

[@glenmuir2091]

Congrats! I bought mine in July and am still fitting it out. Two questions: where did you buy the cutting board/sink cover? And do you have any information on the riser units you placed in your overhead cabinets? BTW, those slots behind the stove top are for knives... Might save you some drawer space... and a trip to the ER.

[@JamesVonwiegen]

Thank you and thats awesome seems like a-lot of people are getting them!I got it from my mom and we have had it for years so I'm not sure, sorry! We got the riser units from IKEA. We are using command strips to hold them down so the don't slide when driving.

[@glenmuir219]

​@@JamesVonwiegen Thank you. If I send you an email address, can you send me a photo of the top and bottom of the cutting board. Those corners lock it into place nicely. I use command hooks throughout my trailer. I even bought two commend units for the shower to replace the built in soap dish and that hanging fabric bag. And I bought a "hotel style" towel rack that is adjustable for over the toilet. I used my label maker to note certain functions like NEVER use the recirculating hot water feature if you are on city water and always open the stove hood fan outside vent BEFORE turning it on. I also replaced my shower head with a much nicer one from Camco. And installed a four screen thermometer for the fridge, freezer, inside and outside. I used the command "velco-type" tape to hold it in position. Little stuff, but it can make a big difference. Good travels!

[@JamesVonwiegen]

Glen Muir yes [e-mail] Yes it does fit perfect we got lucky!

[@STILLPHENOM]

i am about to pull the trigger on 19QB. hows the camper so far? I am also headed out west in October for about a month.

[@JamesVonwiegen]

We actually sold ours because we are full-time and needed more room. However, for a month trip and a few times a year the camper is great and awesome!

[@notaboutthedestination5693]

That is a really nice camper. I like that they are designing campers for boondocking. Mines not 😢

[@Thejohnnyoshow]

it's really not, and it's built like crap. in 12 weeks of use ours was falling apart in a lot of placed. Nothing but regret. its the same as the geopro 19fbs

[@notaboutthedestination5693]

Thank you for sharing. That is good to know. We have one made by forest river and know they are not built well. Our trailer is a Coachman Apex and it's doing well. We lived in it for 2 yrs full time. We had to fix things but it's been a good trailer. We like the design and have made some improvements. Sorry to hear about your troubles.

[@JamesMayfieldSmith]

@@Thejohnnyoshow What's a good alternative to the E-Pro or Geo-Pro? I'm trying to find a good deal and buy used, low mileage, full time mini trailer (18-22 ft) between $10-$15K. Digital Nomad, need access to internet for zoom streaming, so a wifi range extender is a necessity. Indoor shower required, full size fridge if available, full size queen, no bunks, Needs to look nicer than the price tag, not run-down. So I was thinking of late model or well-taken care of ones. Which makes and models do you recommend?

[@Thejohnnyoshow]

@@JamesMayfieldSmith i would recommend looking at the WINNEBAGO MICRO MINNIE 2106 series, (sorry for caps i cut an pasted the title from a listing) anyway its 21ft, only 500lbs more then the geo 19fbs however it has a tandem axle so major plus there its plywood construction not particle board and i have found older models for sale for around $14,000, just get doing google searches every few weeks until you see one pop up, i come across about 1 a month for the $14,000 price

[@shawnkelley7766]

I have the Geo Pro 19FBS , which is identical, and was wondering about your cutting board. Did you custom cut it to fit and what are the little foot pads on the bottom that fit the sink corners. Thanks!

[@JamesVonwiegen]

We actually had it before we bought the camper and it just happened to fit perfectly. Similar to this www.amazon.com/Camco-43431-Accents-Sink-Cover-13/dp/B000EDQQJW/ref=sr_1_5?gclid=Cj0KCQiA6IHwBRCJARIsALNjViVnMkzdB6e8rjLgQFTa4k1utkkef29KGyzzQFoyEPrOQH7qkgv9e4IaAiKVEALw_wcB&hvadid=241668561515&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9007181&hvnetw=g&hvpos=1t1&hvqmt=e&hvrand=15825993942990682771&hvtargid=aud-840076997981%3Akwd-333342598050&hydadcr=3378_10397976&keywords=cutting+board+for+rv+sink&qid=1577132660&sr=8-5

She make the key ring holders, with a Cricut? Where did she get the sticky holders? I was curious about the cutting board too, thanks for the website info.

[@randyletourneau3430]

Just ran across this video. Noticed you are towing with a Tacoma. How did that do pulling the trailer while you had it?

[@JamesVonwiegen]

It was great actually. We towed with a 2016 Tacoma which did great and a Jeep Wrangler. Wrangler was at max capacity and sagged a lot while the tacoma was perfect and wouldn't need a bigger truck for this size.

[@rogern5368]

Did the gas shocks on the doors over your kitchen come installed on the doors from the factory ???

[@JamesVonwiegen]

Yes they are factory which is really nice and we haven't had a problem yet!

[@albertharden1628]

I suggest you get an easy start on your ac and get a inverter generator at 2500 watts it will use a gallon for about 9 hours of ac use and it will charge your battery also have to shut the ac off to use the microwave it can only power one high use item in your case microwave or ac at a time

[@epatnode75]

How has it been pulling this trailer with your Jeep Wrangler Unlimited? I have a Jeep Unlimited as well and would be curious on your experience. Any special modifications you made? Any issues so far? Thanks for your help!!

[@JamesVonwiegen]

The Jeep does fine but we don't load it with Water until we reach out boondocking destination. We added a WDH, Brake Controller and a Class III Hitch. Tows good, but if you want to be safer and be able to tow with the water, I would get a 16 footer.

[@michaelianni-palarchio4431]

Great video. I’m considering this trailer as well and drive a 2021 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited and was wondering if this camper is towable. How has it been since your last post here? I’m torn between this or going smaller to be safe.

[@wannagodiving]

she said for your jeep keys, but your other videos i see a tacoma, did you have a jeep and change your mind? i ask because we have a jeep and are looking into getting this camper

[@JamesVonwiegen]

The Tacoma was my dads truck and my girlfriend owns the Jeep. She didn't have the Jeep back when we originally bought the trailer. We did end up selling the camper because we bought a Class A for full-time living.

[@michaelnudelman1715]

What’s the weight of the trailer dry

[@JamesVonwiegen]

I believe 3,050 pounds

[@montiraruba2831]

What is the difference between the GeoPro and the E Pro?

[@JamesVonwiegen]

Same trailer, just two different. "branding" names. No difference other then green and orange.

[@sinister184]

Is the ‘new’ smell really prominent on these?

I dont think so, not like a car.

Wonder how a v6 rwd will work

[@al4385]

Could you cover the entire roof with solar and run the AC?

[@JamesVonwiegen]

No, the original inverter (1000w) is not enough to run to AC. You would have to install a 3000w inverter to run the AC, plus a larger battery bank. Even if I was able to cover the roof in solar (1000w) it would still never be enough to keep up with how much power AC pulls.
