They used to do OSB floors, or (Weyerhauser structureboard as Anthony Yoder called it). My 2020 19BH definitely has it because the floor sags between the floor beams when stepped on. That doesn't happen with 5/8 ply. Good to know they switched it out. So not really a misconception, just a change that they made at some point for the better.

Uncle Josh; by far the best factory tour and explanation of product yet! I have watched this one three times now. You are on your game GOLD MEDAL TIME!!!! Man, I love those weld points they are doing! No little puny spot welds like I have seen other manufacturers do. The roof system is really awesome, great point about the strength. QUESTION: Is there a spot in the roof for connection for a DISH Antenna? Also, is there a way to retract the slides in case of a failure? Last, can you sit in the slides with them retracted inside? Double Azdel brings this up to a Lance quality product for 1/3-1/2 less money....AWESOME!!! I do wish they would fully enclose the belly though.....maybe like one other co. that uses the more rigid panels with the foil attached to the sections. Man, this is a awesome little trailer! Only question now is......Geo Pro or Mini Lite??

Hi Josh, the factory tours are the best. I saw in another's KZbin video ( Rockwood 2022 2509s Small Solar Upgrade) that Ian used 3M VHB dbl stick tape to attach additional solar panels to the roof (14:10 min into video), rather than putting additional holes in the roof with screws thru the roof membrane. Do you have any thoughts on this or have you discussed with any of the manufacturers? My concern is that the 3M VHB permanent type tape is only attached to a membrane that itself is only glued to the rood below...although I do like the idea of less holes in the roof.
@omcbob373 жыл бұрын
Thanks for posting this very informative video. We've been considering the purchase of a new GeoPro G20FBS and your video raised some specific questions about the main chassis frame currently being used by Rockwood. I've seen other videos and pictures showing 2021 and 2022 model GeoPros using the BAL NXG (C-Channel) frame with all huck bolt connections for the outriggers and frame crossmembers. At the 2:10 mark of this video, the stack of new chassis frames appear to be all welded C-channel or box tube frames. At the 5:49 mark showing the Air-Ride suspension, that also appears to be a C-channel or box tube frame with welded outrigger connections. At the 7:06 mark showing the typical torsion axle suspension, that is clearly an I-beam frame (Lippert?). The I-beam type frame with welded outrigger connections is also shown at the 11:09 mark of the video. So what frame assembly is currently being used on the GeoPro - the BAL C-Channel with huck bolts? Or a Lippert (or other) I-beam frame with all welded connections? Or does it vary by particular model?
@JoshtheRVNerd3 жыл бұрын
Their chassis did change recently but it was not a "documented change" but rather something that happened "mid stride" They'll all use the same chassis but the 19FBTH exclusively uses the air ride system while the rest use torsion

@@JoshtheRVNerd I did cosmetic aluminum welding for a company called Logan Coach. I know it is an industry issue. 4:23 is a good example. There is at least 1 (It looks like 2) hole in the weld that is closest to the center screen. The weld to the right of it covers maaaaaybe 70% of the joint being generous. That is one reason why welds crack and break. Trailer companies get away with it because it is almost never seen once fabricated. Any welder worth his salt would not let that fly in my opinion. QC should be on that! (I also have 3 years of QC experience in a precision machine shop *cough *cough) I don't even know how to respond to 4:52 politely. For anyone with welding experience, I can guarantee you that is a HUGE red flag when considering spending this kind of money on a trailer.

If they're so worried about using good plywood to support the shower (which also can't be readily seen), then why aren't they equally observant about having good, consistent welding on the floor frame? That one at 4:52 is egregious, but others just seem like they're tacked. I would like to see a full bead down the seam. Am I wrong?

Rockwood and flagstaff are literally identical. The rvs you’re seeing this video are a mix of both. Same people make them with the same equipment standard and optional on both

Those flex tubes at 12:33 seem to be flex tubes on pex fittings. That’s not ideal over time. Is it possible to have them confirm? I’d love to get an all pex trailer with no flex tubing if possible.

@@JoshtheRVNerd I actually emailed them yesterday. They confirmed they still do use flex tubing in the geo lineup. I asked if I could order one without flex tubing and they said it was not possible. (Will from Sales told me this). I guess I’ll have to keep looking as this was my favorite otherwise. It’s lightweight and is otherwise really well built. I just want to make sure I didn’t have water issues in a few years just after the warranty period.

Saw your other factory tours on these before we bought our 19FD (love it) back in Feb. Question: At 28:41 the control panel, is there a way to find the information on the decal with the 'phone app' to work the control panel separately, as in the decal peeled off (wouldn't stay stuck to the wall) and 'got lost'? Can get thru the process up to where it's asking for a "K-code" then stalls as I can't find that. New phone. Posted link to vid on our Geo Pro facebook group.

I believe you can do a more manual hookup thru the app but it’s been a minute since I played with it myself

My list; Rockwood , Keystone, Jayco. I love models of all 3 manufacturers, the build and the QC. However Rockwood has always impressed me the most. No, there's no perfect RV but they get ya close as possible. Perfect blend of flash and function over all flash and 2 years later.. a " soup sammich". That said, I want the 2516s. Wife wants the Cougar 26rds. 1st world problems 😏

Is the roofing material glued down or just stapled to the edges? I don't think you mentioned this in the video

On the rear eating model they should consider having a drop down rear wall like a toy hauler that can be used as a rear deck or lower further as a traditional cargo ramp toy halter for smaller items like mountain bikes, skies, surf board, side ladder storage etc with the toy hauler air ride. Also have a rear awning over the back, nice if it rains etc. Rear picnic/sun bathing/lounge deck. Also have a cooker hooker connection and magnetic screen system.
