UPDATED 2019 Rockwood 19FBS Geo Pro AZDEL Ultralite with Roof Solar and Windshield Travel Trailer

[@aprilasbahr]

And here I've been viewing all the videos for yrs wanting, wishing, and needing a little place to call "MY HOME", and for the 1st time I'm actually glad I didn't jump in and buy in the past. You never fail to amaze me. I 💘 this trlr. That white cabinetry is absolutely beautiful. You said it!!! Whiter, brighter, and bigger. Amen. Brilliant. It only got better :).

[@teslah2997]

I really like the white cabinets....yay,finally someone did it

[@DiyDadFL]

I do like the fact that they built this camper in mind for even adding more solar panels later on.

[@mrjack8849]

Boy, I am sure glad I waited! I knew they were going to be adding stuff to make it better!

[@tacoshenanigans4585]

I’m so glad I waited and walked away from a purchase at a “local dealership” in February. I would have never seen this one. I will be in contact towards the end of the year to place an order and make the trip up from Kansas City.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

This is an easy time for me to "throw darts" at someone else, but I'm simply sorry you had that experience anywhere. Camping supposed to just be about fun. When you're ready: We'll be ready!

[@gerrynightingale9045]

*I really, really HATE to admit it, but I like this coach!* *I'm a 'Cricket' 'Mantis'-type guy, but the lay-out inside this trailer impresses me with the 'livability' factor, along with a fair amount of 'boondock' capabilities* *The fact this trailer has FULL USABILITY without using the slide is something I haven't seen before, and even 'ne plus ultra' 'Airstream' doesn't offer a full-bath with a commode-sink unless you go to at least a 23-ft. model!* *Most Important?* *GIRLS will like this because of the huge bathroom!* *They will NOT 'like' the fact they can't shove 44-tons of clothes in it so an outfit that always consists of 'jeans/t-shirt' for 'everyday everything' can be chosen from the mountains of stuff they have* *"Where can I put my 'pretty girls clothes at?" can be a problem*

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I've met just as many guys who over pack as ladies. My parents actually are a great example of that lol

[@richardwatson8822]

Glad you showed the roof ! Good video , Thanks. Glad to see Rockwood using there heads when building there campers , No wonder there kicking but in this market ! It means a lot these days ! Thanks again !!!

[@rxonmymind8362]

Wow. Color me surprised. The interior doesn't look dated like a 1980s apartment that I had to rent when I was 18 years old. Just came back looking at the Bigfoot and that was depressing reminded me just like the apartment when I first got out of my parents home. This is a nice trailer!

[@sherriweber7105]

This us a nice camper. No too bad for being small. Not a lot of storage but it’s ok because it’s small. I like the shower you how you can use that for boondocking. Thank you Josh.

[@bosse641]

Very nice these. But with that length would it not be better with a double axle ? I see most at this size come with that. Would make it safer towing it, no ?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Nearly no trailers this size are tandem axles. Things like the Winnebago 1706FB are exceptions rather than the rules. A 2nd axle would be fine, but would make interior designs challenging with an extended wheel well. It would also very quickly push this RV out of the target weight range as well.

[@MrSparks54]

My niece and her husband bought this model except theirs is pre standard solar. I was struck with the same things you mention, why buy a tear drop trailer when you can have this? They pull it with a Toyota Forerunner with no issues. They had it lifted and fitted with offroad tires for an additional $800. This is a very nice couple's trailer. KItchen counter space could be better, otherwise it's just about perfect. Much better than everything else in it's class they checked out.

[@samrossispeakssingsfilms2781]

I personally wondered if a 4Runner was strong enough to pull this with a few hundred pounds in it. Glad to hear it can pull this trailer. . Do you know if they have any problems on inclines mountainous areas?

[@jvblades]

Want to buy from you guys, because this video made the decision for me...but I’m in South Padre Island Tx...and a drive to Michigan to make a deal is ...well..an extra 2.5k miles on my xterra THANK YOU 🙏🏻

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

So what if we had it dropped right in your driveway? Don't assume we couldn't make it work without at least a call. You wouldn't be the first to be surprised.

[@jvblades]

Haylett RV very tempting...the new one has EVERYTHING I want except maybe 2 more solar panels. LOL and I’m installing a compost toilet..could you guys actually put a weight distribution/sway bar system; power jack..back up camera install ?

[@jvblades]

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

@@jvblades All the add-ons you mentioned: No sweat. Everyday stuff for us. All we need is for you to contact our team when you're ready, explain what you need, and we'll make it happen!

[@hayesman76]

Slide-closed access = a HUGE, HUGE feature! Also love the arched ceiling, very “elegant” looking. Those two features add a ton of value to this camper trailer, IMO. The shower stall looked a bit cramped, unfortunately. Surely a somewhat more spacious shower could be installed in updates? The addition of a second axle would make this trailer an absolute knockout.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

As mentioned previously what you seek already exists. It's called a Mini Lite 2109S. To make the changes you seek you'd simply be recreating what's already there.

[@hayesman76]

Haylett RV I just looked that model up and yes, after a cursory look at it on the Forest River website it looks great, coming in at clip se to 22’ and seems to fit the specs I stated. Thanks for the information. Now if they could just shave the length down to an even 20’ ...

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

And if they did, then it'd be back to 1 axle.

[@scottelwood8348]

Man I really like this RV especially the Azdel. Not sure about the fixed solar panels. I prefer to chase the sun with the portable panels. When the panels are attached have you ever encountered a problem with any heat the panels put off since they are attached directly to the roof. Thanks

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

That's why I mentioned how it has both roof mount and portable. You get the best of both worlds here. Also, the point of roof mount solar is you don't need to chase the sun. The sun hits the roof first. If the sun isn't hitting the roof, then a portable panel isn't going to do much for you unless you're in an area under coverage like trees and happened to be parked JUST inside the shadows.

[@thunderbird97]

Scott bad thing about portables, you might be chasing the panels in the sun when they grow legs and take off

[@chriss526]

Thanks for the informative videos Josh! Quick question on the geo-pro models such as this 19fbs that have the side-to-side queen bed in the front.....we saw one of these at an rv show recently and there appeared to be extra space at the head/foot of the bed. Will these models accommodate a residential/standard size Queen mattress?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Depends on the model. SOME might be able to squeeze it in if something like a gap or mini headboard exists (albeit tightly). We've had people buy something like a wolf pup 16BHS & remove the headboard to install a full residential queen.

[@SuperDrLisa]

Love, love , love sofa/table combo instead of a dinette. Useless space for a couple.

[@kenni411]

agreed

[@jez6208]

Love it. I'm English. I live near Durham in the north east of England. However, I lived in Michigan back in the late 80's. Great state and good times. If I still lived there, I'd get this from you. The caravans we get here in the UK are bloody boring. Mostly anyway. My lady is pissed off with me drooling over RV porn. 😄 Oh well! A man can dream. So 2 things that I reckon could improve this already amazing caravan. 1, more solar panels on the roof! How about looking into a flexible solar panel that is actually the awning!!! Imagine that?? 2, I camp alot with my hobby. Quite often, I get very sweaty and stinky, or soaked and muddy. You guys don't have enclosed, tent style awnings so where would you put all the clothes etc? Not in you car and not in your RV. So, how about a wrap around tent that clips into the sides of the slide out? You can hang your wet and muddy stuff underneath! Also, you could have a closeable vent linked to the heating system. With a flap you can drop, your kit gets to dry out and it's out of the way. In the summer, you just hang your stuff. What do you think? I wish you could make your caravans under licence over here. You'd sell em. No problem. Anyway, cheers! Jeremy.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Welcome from across the pond! Cheers mate :)

[@adventureswithgnomie6553]

I like it but I am one of those who like ovens. Do you order in the Micro Minnie with the explorer package?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

We typically kept our Micro Minnie models "standard" with the exception of something like an A/C upgrade. Full disclosure -- I never want you to feel like we weren't telling you the whole truth -- we are not currently stocking winnebago's towable products. So you know it's not for anything like bad quality records (Winnebago was quite good in that regard). Rather, they simply were not selling quickly enough to remain on our "shelves" currently. We're hopeful to revisit the brand next season.

[@jeffowen4056]

Can you get off road tires and a rear tire mount and can you add more solar 100 watts isn't enough ?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Yess on off road. No on rear tire mount. Solar can be added aftermarket.

[@wildhog3217]

Good floor plan fully accessible with slide closed. Is there a larger version with walk around bed with the same accessibility?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Yes, As mentioned in the video. Here are some samples: bit.ly/2mxQXWN Specifically the Rockwood 2109S and Freedom Express 192RBS

[@rtpman1953]

Josh, nice video. I'd been looking at the Forrest River No Bo 19.5 but this seems to have most of the same features plus solar. I boondock a lot so that's important. I like they have on-the-roof and pannel access on side. Questions: 1.What is the GVWR on this unit. I currently tow with a 2017 Pathfinder SUV 6k towing capacity. 2) Is the awing powered or crank-out. Does Haylett RV do after market additional roof solar panels. Need more juice than than when I boondock.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

What I'm about to say is not meant to be negative, but merely factual: The NoBo series is literally just R-Pod trying to ride Rockwood's success with the Geo Pro series. They looked at a Geo pro, peeled out things like the azdel, nose cap, solar, etc in an attempt to be a little less expensive. There's nothing wrong with that concept, but that's the jist of it. GVWR Would simply be dry weight + cargo weight (both listed at the 00:05 mark btw). And we can add extra solar as required. Give our guys a call. Let's get something put together!

[@kylelaseter4358]

Love this Geo Pro floor plan, three solar related questions- 1. Does the existing wiring on top for the 100w panel make it easy to add an additional panel on top if desired? 2. When using a portable panel with the side solar port, does it run directly to the battery from the port and need its on charge controller or does the side port also run to the controller that the roof mounted panel runs to as well before going to the battery? 3. I'm assuming the 1000w inverter is a go power model as well, but can you tell me which particular model the inverter is? Thanks for doing what you do!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

1.) Additional panels possible, though you'll want to make sure you stay within the controller's specs or upgrade the controller. Not usually an issue due to limited space on the roof to physically place panels. Note this would always be an aftermarket item. 2.) Portable panels have their own integrated charge controller typically. As a result it's just a straight shot to the battery. 3.) Give our sales team a call so they can physically eyeball the unit. I don't have specific model numbers recorded. 800-256-5196

[@kylelaseter4358]

@@JoshtheRVNerd Thanks for the quick response. Regarding the inverter, I'm really just interested in knowing if it's pure sine wave or modified sine wave. I don't necessarily need the exact model number. Thanks Josh!

[@4486xxdawson]

Love this camper the only thing i think they could have done better is not put the solar controler in a spot that is covered when the slide is in , i would want it in a spot i can see when the slide is in so if your stoped in a parking lot and dont want the slide out you can still monitor your solar while boondocking .

[@davidhinote6046]

Thank you for getting on the roof.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

You bet! Appreciate you watching

[@Chimp_6]

The Geo Pro team is still continuing to raise the bar! It would be interesting if they take this floor plan and extend the slide 6-8" and install a 2 person dinette instead of the couch.

[@mrjack8849]

Chimp 6 I think they’re trying to watch the weight in the slide. The sofa now isn’t a real fold out bed, which makes very lightweight. Although I think a dinette could also be lightweight. I would be interested in putting 2 rotating recliners in that space that can face the tv or each other with a table in between. Those would probably be heavier though. It will be interesting to see what they come up with next!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Jack: Recliners are not an option in the sofa's location. If you look at the RV from the inside, then you are given the impression the sofa starts at the floor. But if you look at the slide fascia or look at it from the outside, then you see the bottom of the slide is significantly above the floor. The main reason for this is the wheel well and that type of slide system is found on basically any camper with this floorplan including Rockwood's larger 1909S, 2109S and Coachmen's 192RBS & 189RBS versions of this layout.

[@chris2pher44]

🤔may have to check this out in person, one of the better setups for sure.

[@racheljohnsondissell]

Extremely interested in one of these for my teen daughter and I, but wish it had a flat jackknife sofa (like the murphy bed models have). Do you think it would be possible to remove the sofa's seat cushions so I could replace with a twin memory foam mattress, cut to fit the frame? I'm a crafty/handy person. Also, is there by chance any storage under the sofa seat, or behind the back of the sofa to tuck the table (or smaller one like a tray table) into? Also, I'm just under 5' so the height of the bike rack option concerns me. Is the rack stationary or does it fold down for loading/offloading bikes? If it's stationary, do you know of any other bike rack options that could make it more accessible to a hobbit like me? One last thing, do you know of any notable differences in quality/build/specs between the E-pro and Geo Pro aside from color scheme? Love, love, love your vids! So informational. I'm a research analyst, so I thrive on such things! I'm so impressed with your depth of knowledge and forthrightness, I would happily drive up from Pittsburgh to buy from your lot.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

You could easily swap the existing sofa out for another, but you cannot store anything behind/below it since the sofa goes up against the wall & the slide does not go down to the floor. The bottom of the sofa is basically setting right on top of the slide floor due to the location of the wheel well under the slide (which is basically necessary in all instances of this model across manufacturers). Bike rack is not stationary. It's tall. Also, *lol* at the hobbit comment :) Geo Pro and E-Pro are physically the same RV. Rockwoods and Flagstaffs have only 3 differences: Decals, Decors, and Resale. Rockwood outsells Flagstaff nearly 3-1 now & carries a stronger resale as a result. It's not a MASSIVE difference, but hey -- take what you can get!

[@chazbltn664]

Been holding off to see what changes they would make and these are almost all the little things I was hoping to see. The front windshield, the ladder, getting rid of the oven, the shower caddy, etc. Just incredible detail and attention to the consumers. Very excited. Comparing this roof to a 2018 it does look like they actually cut back a little on the sealer/caulking they are using. Which is fine because the amount they were using was almost comical. Question for Josh - this is the second GeoPro video that I've noticed the forward wall panels in the front pass through compartment seemed to be out of place, or pushed in, off their track/frame. Why is that? Is this the result of some dealer prep?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

The "off" piece of paneling in the front nose you're noticing is actually just an extra piece of paneling they install to protect *something* up there.

[@rickhanson9678]

I live in the Pacific Northwest and this trailer with less options is more expensive than at your dealership by like $5000. Do you think it’s because of the destination charge to ship it from Indiana all the way over here? That’s the story one salesperson told me at least... Would like to know if you think the same thing... Great Video by the way.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

It's part of it, but shipping isn't nearly $5,000 to that area -- especially considering they ship these campers 2 or 3 at a time on the back of a giant flatbed so the shipping costs are split among them. It's $5,000 more with fewer options because they don't think most people will be willing to drive for a better deal. And half the time the dealer uses a tactic like "You have to pay us more money or else we won't give you service." Basically, they're trying to twist your arm behind your back and tell you they're doing you a favor so you should thank them.

I love everything about this little camper. But, I'm 6.1. So I'm concerned about the length of the bed. 74" versus 80"? Why is there a space in there?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

The gap is there because Geo Pro models come in varying widths, so they utilize a generic mattress. If you want a longer bed, then put in a longer bed. You can always do something with empty space like that.

[@michaelc7631]

How towable would you feel this would be for a 4dr Jeep Wrangler? Rated towing is 3500lbs. I'm looking at minimalist "camping" for 3-4days at a time. So, carried weight would be lessened.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Thank you for mentioning the reduced carrying weight -- information like that is valuable for questions like this. It's within specs, but you'd be at the ceiling of your capacity. If you planned to camp mostly closer to home, then you'd likely be okay. If you wanted to tow further or get off road, then it's going to really work your jeep.

[@michaelc7631]

@@JoshtheRVNerdyeah, I'm looking at frequent trips from Baltimore to Shenandoah, VA (~ 130miles one way).

Not to suggest it, but we towed our 19FBS with my V6 GMC Terrain with a 3500 tow capacity and it did great with weight distribution.

[@Like0Butter]

Can these geopros be ordered without the skylight or TV antenna? Looking to maximize solar panel area for full time off grid use.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

*POSSIBLY.* Rockwood is the single largest volume brand of laminated RVs. They generally refrain from the standard build plans. However, leaving something OUT is typically simple and easy, though the skylight may be tricky since the roof jigs are all standardized. It's something we'd definitely like a shot of working on for you. Contact our team at 800-256-5196 & let them know what you're seeking. From there they can give our factory contacts a call & get you an answer in a day or two depending on how quickly we hear back.

You should use WD/Anti-Sway hitching on a 4Runner regardless of what you're towing.

[@stevesigler5241]

I am 6’2” also. Josh would that bed length at 74” bed too short for me? I dm used to a king bed at home of course so a full 60 x80 queen mattress would work fine. Do you think a full 60x80 queen mattress would fit in there end to end with the width of the coach? Have you tried laying on a 60x74 yet and how was it being at 6’2” also? Thanks in advance.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

When I do the math regarding how much bed space should be there a true queen SHOULD fit. However, when you look at the RV the bed goes wall-to-wall. It makes me think SOME spec is posted incorrectly on this camper. Either way my best suggestion is to give our guys a call and have them hard measure the mattress area and body size to figure out which spec is incorrectly listed on Rockwood's floorplan schematic. If we're lucky, then then bed is actually an 80" queen and you're good to go.

[@l.alanwild5468]

In your discussion with Rudy you state that the cargo capacity of his vehicle assumes a 150 lb driver. I have seen this number on several different forum discussion boards as well. I'm curious as to the source of this figure because I have never seen it in any owner's manual I have ever read. Ford, Chevy, Nissan, Hyundai, etc all say in their manuals that the weight of all occupants (not just passengers or driver weight above 150) should be subtracted from the payload capacity of the vehicle listed on the "yellow sticker". Is the 150 lb driver assumption one of those things that has been around "forever" so people just automatically say it even though it may no longer be applicable? I know you pride yourself on providing honest, accurate information to everyone and look forward to your reply.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Nothing Rockwood makes is "Four Seasons." It's not their target market. They focus on the largest segments of the industry which includes spring/summer/fall RVers with small provisions made for extended season use (namely heating pads on their larger models). As the largest producer of laminated trailers and light weights they have no real plans to change currently. Important to remember they're a weight sensitive brand. Truly insulating an RV adds weight which is a factor they're trying to avoid. In this smaller RV segment several brands have thrown the word "Four Seasons" around, but none have actually proven it with testing data from something like Dometic's heat controlling chambers.

You say the walls are made with Azdel but I don't see any Azdel sticker on the wall by the door. Are you sure it's Azdel? What the floor is made of?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I am sure Azdel is used in this product as I have personally walked the Geo Pro production line (twice actually). I completely understand why you would question it however, as Rockwood has made no attempt to broadcast their use of Azdel (Which amazes me considering Azdel's popularity and benefits). The Floor decking is actually the same as the really popular Rockwood A-Frame popups - a seamless structureboard that's basically completely dipped & coated in an anti-wicking material before being installed atop aluminum floor studs.

[@barry6295]

Josh. What is the R value of the walls, ceiling, slide out and floor?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

It's a spring/summer/fall camper. Not made for arctic use. No mfg has actually proven themselves capable of full function in sub freezing temps in this smaller size and class. Several claim it, but none have proven it.

[@1969jmac]

Lances have same floor plan in some of theirs i like that lay out, only down side is the dining area doesn't have a real table instead they give you a fold out tv tray table lol.

[@lisaengland4906]

I see a comment that nothing this size is truly four season? Is that correct? Love this but need a four season

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Two days ago we experienced -37 degrees F windchill. There are exactly zero RVs made for that kind of use. The biggest fifth wheels and diesel pushers are not made for use in that sort of weather without serious assistance. Even more serious assistance is needed for smaller RVs like this given their thinner walls and reduced insulation values. So it really doesn't matter what it is you look at -- if you want to winter camp below freezing temps, then you need skirting, supplemental heating, etc.

[@retiresoon5639]

Great looking little camper.

[@mrjack8849]

I appreciate being able to see the roof on a GeoPro. I don’t recall seeing that yet. It’s definitely walkable, but how about....danceable?

[@YUMURINO39]

after adding 2 batteries and 2 full tank of propane,the tongue weight could get over 500 lb?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

It would be close, but likely just under. A properly set weight distribution set also redistributes roughly 30% of the loaded tongue weight back onto the trailer's axle, so that will help.

[@YUMURINO39]

thanks , new sub, like your videos

Is The Epro same as the Geopro?

Quite literally yes. You can see that demonstrated in my tour of their factory here m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIiYpZKFhLqoiLs

How about a slightly longer one!? Say 21’-22’ , possibly double axle and you have me completely sold!!!!!

Already exists. They call it a Mini Lite as seen here: bit.ly/2mxQXWN You'll notice Coachmen builds a similar layout in the Freedom Express as well

Will this trailer be fine in a Michigan winter?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

You won't have a problem maintaining cabin heat in this little thing (slippers/sweat shirt expected), but it's not rated to use the water system in sub-freezing conditions.

[@cebrsheridan1941]

@@JoshtheRVNerd Gotcha...are there any lightweight Rockwoods that do protect the water system from the cold?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Rockwood does not build for use in Michigan winters without assistance. That being said it gets cold enough here no RV is built to withstand Michigan winters without assistance. Their 8ft wide models like Mini Lites, Ultra Lites, and Signature models all have enclosed Bellies. Signatures have tank heating pads that are optional elsewhere in the series. Tank heating pads alone do not necessarily protect water lines, however. This is not a brand made for cold camping. Enclosed belly models will be alright for a night that dips below freezing, but not for hard-cold living. For something like that you need to look at a brand like Cougar or Eagle. Open Range also does well in that area. Again, any RV will require things like skirting at least for winter to act as a wind breaks. We've done videos on this topic. Have you reviewed any of them? Perhaps they would prove useful.

[@paulgrimm7842]

Don’t like the sideways bed ,but you got to give up something for a shorter trailer

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

That's why we also like the 189RBS Apex seen here: bit.ly/2LkUJyB A little longer of course, but offers the walk around bed this one lacks.

[@raisingalzoniachalise3058]

Can I pull this with a 2016 Infiniti QX60?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Please give our sales team a call to explore this in more depth. The only answer I can provide is "it depends on a few factors." No matter what it will be at the absolute limit of your tow ratings. For short/easy trips it might be okay. For big hills/mountains/long distances I don't think your vehicle is well suited to handle any trailer this size.

[@michaelshea2017]

What if I want a bigger sink?

[@charlesmacklin8757]

How long is that slide/ couch ? I want to replace the couch and I need dimensions

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I'm out of the office currently trying to keep up. Rockwood hasn't provided that spec in a resource I have available. Give your service center a call and ask them to measure one out for you. Note: You can't just replace that with another sofa, recliners, dinette, etc. The bottom of the slide box doesn't go all the way to the floor of the RV due to the location of the wheel well. There's a reason that style of sofa is used in that floor plan. The bottom of the slide box is roughly a foot high off the flooring.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Different block. The chocks shown here are just to prevent rolling. There are other tear-shaped blocks available for quick leveling. And they're *AWESOME* Once the weather warms up I plan to get into more widget-focused videos like this with better demonstrations. Right now it's just... well it just hurts your face to be outside lol

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

No more chance than a stone hitting your vehicle’s windshield.

[@flbclover]

Is there storage under the couch?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

There is not. The base of the slide is actually JUST below the seat of the sofa. The "face" of the sofa is actually a false facade to give it a complete sofa look. This is common in sofa-only shallow slide campers. Similar seating found in things like the Rockwood 2109S and the Freedom Express 192RBS

[@JOHNch4.v.v.7to10]

At the 18:40 minute mark when you showed the front full width under cabin storage: was the wood warping/delaminating?

No. It's an extra panel put there to protect whatever wiring might've been behind it. I can't believe how many people have commented on this *lol*

Josh - will the GeoPro model with the murphy bed also have the mid-year refresh (standard solar, tv and front window)?

I *believe* so. We'll know for sure VERY soon. We have multiple 19FD's slated for arrival.

Awesome. I'm very excited to hear. I'm a taller man, so prefer a walk around bed more than one I have to climb over my wife to get into..

If you like the space of that sofa slide, but want a bed you can walk around, then you'll like this Apex: bit.ly/2MsxlQF

[@rcallbeck]

We have a 5000 lb towing capacity.. How would you feel towing that Apex with a double kayak on the tow vehicle?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Kinda depends on how you carry those kayaks I suppose. If on the vehicle, then that has nothing to do with towing weight, but payload capacity. If on the trailer, then I'd like to know how you plan to carry them.
