Great videos! Wife and I just put down a deposit on a 2023 16BH. This helps me plan to be ahead of everything before it arrives. After watching a several of your videos I did add another solar panel to the rig which should give me 400 watts. Hopefully that will help with boondocking. Also advised the dealer to remove the flooded batteries as I plan on two LiFePO4 batteries. Dealer wanted over 1K for each, I think not I'll bring my own. I did speak to Forest River and they added an auto selector for the batteries on the 2023 models so shouldn't be an issue. Your videos certainly are a great influence on how I ordered and am planning the set-up. Thank you two so much!

Good afternoon to you two! This is a great video and so well presented! These are definitely tips to be aware of to prevent or fix items that could delay or cancel a trip! And, to boot, some of these items are not specific to geo pros. One of my main take aways from this is to MAKE SURE you have a wrench/socket for every manual item in the event that the electric motor goes kaput. And...those touchy swinteck slide tracks will be on the rig that we've ordered. I'll me making a slide retention stick before departing! Safe travels!

Pretty sure she's a juvenile black widow. Her color will fill in as she ages. The brown widow's body shape is slightly different, a bit more crusty looking. And living near SoCal deserts I've gotten to know both of the little buggers quite well. And they're my least favorite companions when working on my own RV. All bitey and skittery and they won't even hand me a single tool when I ask no matter how nicely. Just hangs there in her web, judging with all those beady little eyes... Thank's for all the specifics on the Geo Pro. That window hack was sweet as hacks go. Nice one! Our next rig is looking likely to be either the FBS or the FD. That murphy bed is put together far better that it lets on to. I looked at one at a dealer and the sales guy was kind enough to let me really dig into it. One thing that's hard to envision on the FD until you see one in person is how when the murphy is up it feels as open as a slide equipped model but without having a slide. And even with the bed down nothing is inhibited. My only wish is that on the FDS (FD with a slide) Rockwood would offer an option with the galley curbside and with your sofa in the slide. It would be very roomy in there with that config when the murphy bed is up. That would be perfect for the wife and I.
@WinesPinesandCanines3 жыл бұрын
Hahaha on the spiders not being handy! And yes - we were pretty sure that it was a black widow and makes you take a second look before reaching in anywhere! We have found them in concrete blocks but was surprised to find it in with the propane. Glad you enjoyed the video! And yes, we were a little unsure on the murphy bed lasting which is one reason we chose the FBS but looking at Facebook groups online, people are very happy with that model as well so we are encouraged by the construction. And you are correct - it does feel roomy (and we really liked the bigger bath!) I agree on the new FDS. I have also heard that (but haven't confirmed in person) you can't put the bed down with the slide in. If that is true, makes it difficult for things like quick overnights where you don't want to put the slide out. Thanks for watching and safe travels!

A word of warning on the factory-installed inverter: When I received mine, the inverter was running all the time. Fortunately, it was hooked up to shore power, so it didn't kill the batteries, but I couldn't figure out what the fan noise was, and the indicator light on the remote switch wasn't on. I eventually figured out where the inverter was (it's under the forward dinette seat on my 19QB), and after getting out the inverter manual, I discovered that the main power switch was in the wrong position. Turning the main switch on disables the remote switch. All I had to do was flip the switch off, and now the remote switch works.

We have it on the list to do a quick video before we reinstall everything. But I couldn't find the brand either.

I might add that all 120V outlets, both inside and out "pass through" the inverter. If you overload the AMPs on any outlet you can trip the breaker on the inverter. (i did it with a induction cook-top outside) This will cut power to every outlet, but not trip the GFI in the bathroom or the 120V breaker on the panel under the fridge. Make sue you know where inverter is and located the reset button on it to resume 120V. I have a 2019 that FR mounted the inverter in the most inaccessible place possible. Under the bed deck in the corner, in front of the furnace, but behind the furnace duct work. unbelievable. Newer ones the moved it to the closet behind a panel. I cussed FR like the sailor I am, to located it. To get to it, you have to remove the drawer under the bed, lay on the floor, reach inside and feel your way over the duct work and down to the bottom of the inverter to find the reset button. Just look at the control switch on the bed deck and imagine the inverter mounted on the other side of the panel.

We bought the following off Amazon - www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0071L3SO6?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title&th=1 It has been great - we can back up without taking the bars off which is one of the reason we chose it. Also - the Anderson weight distribution hitches are very popular from what we read. As far as towing, the tundra does great - we hardly know it’s back there! But that also makes it hard to keep to under 65 mph as the tundra does not want to go that slow haha. We did install the hitch ourselves but then had our mechanic tighten everything. We would recommend if you haven’t towed before, purchase your hitch and have the dealer install so it’s at the right height, etc. They can then show you how to hitch and unhitch. Linda had not towed the camper before this year. We showed that in another of our videos but she was surprised how easy it towed. Takes some getting used to with turns, pulling into traffic and definitely backing up. Practicing in an area with little to no traffic is a good way to get experience.

Doesn't your stabilizer jack crank also work with the electric tongue jack override? The lugs are the same on my R-Pod.
@WinesPinesandCanines3 жыл бұрын
I do believe it will. We changed out the stabilizers early on and use a drill/adapter for the stabilizers. And we carry a few sockets for other items so haven’t ever used the hand crank. But always good to have manual backups - thanks for mentioning!

So if you use your showermizer. Boondocking or not. The water that comes out of your shower go's back into your fresh water tank? That sounds gross. Unless I'm missing something. Would'nt that make your fresh water unsuitable for drinking and cooking if you did that?
@WinesPinesandCanines8 ай бұрын
So it’s the freshwater tank that recirculates. Not the grey. Instead of turning on the water and letting it run to get hot (wasting water into the grey), the water recirculates through the lines (it doesn’t come out of the shower head or faucet - just goes straight back to the fresh). So it is freshwater recirculating - not the shower gray water. Then when the shower miser turns color, you know the water is hot, turn the knob and the hot water comes out of the shower head. It was strange to us the first time but a neat feature for boondocking!

I have one issue every time I go camping when I arrive my 15 amp fuse for the appliance blows it only happens in transit when I’m camping nothing happens so now before I go traveling I pull the fuse n put it back in at the campsite any thoughts I can’t find any info on untuned I have a geopro 19fd
@WinesPinesandCanines3 жыл бұрын
Hi! That is an issue we have not heard of yet and we routinely read online forums to see what issues people are having. If it is only happening on travel days - do you have the camper plugged into your tow vehicles 7pin connector? If so - I would maybe have that looked at to see if there was something causing the fuse to blow. And the appliance - do you mean the fridge?
@wenkueichiang19763 жыл бұрын
It’s not just the fridge it says appliances but also the switches for the control panel where all your buttons n switches are I’m just wondering if it was the 7 way pin on my vehicle wouldn’t other fuses blow it’s very frustrating I could just take it to the dealer but that’s $$$$$$ so ya

Thinking about getting a geo-pro,lightly used hopefully. Any thoughts on the fridge? I’m used to a 3 way fridge. Would you prefer the 2-way for any reason? Why did they go to the 12V only on the newest and what do you think of them? I’d mostly be hooked to shore power,very occasionally boondocking but do need my dog food cold (fresh meat) for dog shows on so me times very long drives.
@WinesPinesandCanines2 жыл бұрын
We have a 2 way - propane and electric only. Would love to have the option of running it off the battery like the 3 way provides. The new 12V fridges seem to be a popular trend - have seen them in a few different manufacturers lately. From what we have read with owners, they seem to be happy overall. Its a bigger fridge inside and gets cool quite a bit quicker. But they do use more battery than the 2 way. If you have a good battery setup with solar and sun, I would think it would be a good option. And if I did mostly shore power / campgrounds - would think this would be a much better option. Hope that helps!

I ended up finding an almost new ( so new that the previous owners didn’t know to turn on the hot water heater and had never had hot water) I have the newer 12 volt refrigerator and I can’t believe how much better it is than any of the 2 or 3-way fridges I’ve had previously! Anyway, I am so glad that I found this wonderful little 19FBS, it’s perfect for my needs and much nicer than my 2016 RPOD.

has there been any issues with the windows opening more since you have done it. has it made that much more of a difference i think i want to do it to mine
@WinesPinesandCanines2 жыл бұрын
Hi - thanks for watching! We haven't had any issues. We did the mod to two of the windows and they have been just fine over the past 18 months. But, we have seen others remove them completely or cut most of the plastic piece away - not sure we would do that much. The little metal arms may at that point extend too far and possibly break. They are repairable (we did a video on parts and troubleshooting the frameless windows recently) but it isn't a simple or inexpensive repair. But, just cutting a small portion off has made a big difference and we haven't had any issues so far! Hope that helps!
