You Don't Need a Half Ton to Pull This One!! 2023 Rockwood 20BHS Travel Trailer • Azdel • Solar

[@DanielMorales-ll4gd]

Josh, you've made the point before on another bunkhouse trailer, suggesting extending the cargo space beneath an adjoining dinette or sofa. Honestly, a great idea for extra long items. Only... not in this case, because the slideout.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Ah 🤦🏻‍♂️ should’ve had a V8

[@asanablue]

At that angle, changing bedding will be fun. Bunks nice mattress.

[@marleneambrister8669]

OMG!! First, I LIVE by your RV info!! We are looking to purchase a TT or 5th wheel (if I have my way, 5th wheel for sure!) and I follow you almost closer than Jesus!!! I know what I want (my honey hasn't done enough research as I have) and every episode, I find something new I'd love. AND........I thought I was the only person who had their own language!!!! We are simpatico brother!!! Keep these coming. I LOVE the honesty about your likes and dislikes. I AM part of your Nerd Herd!!!! Love from NH!!!

[@kellibrensdal9633]

One of my favorite things unique to this model, they put a mirror AND an outlet in the bathroom. Other brands forget about the outlet if there is not separate vanity. I appreciate the thought behind that. Small bathroom, but still storage, mirror, and outlet.

[@michellemccord6301]

Nice little camper. I like the no "separate" sink in the bathroom.

[@georgeappleby6868]

Josh if they don't have carpet in the slide out them kids can't spill their cherry koolaid and stain it. Making memories that last a lifetime.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

True But man.. koolaid can stain about anything I swear

[@6thwatergateplumber]

Something about those bathroom doors bugs me when they leave so much room at the top, and bottom. The door is probably hollow too so the end result is sounds that could change a face on Mt. Rushmore...

[@texillini1]

Another great informative video. Keep up the good work and doing what you’re doing. Keep posting those old Haylett RV school videos as well. We potential newbies enjoy the education.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Thanks! Will do!

for a more compact camper, I dig this layout and feature set.

[@MountainSalsa]

Thank you. My guess is there is plumbing and electrical behind that headboard panel.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Could be

[@craigdehnel2815]

Yes. All the connections enter behind the headboard.

[@gaemlinsidoharthi]

Such a big slide on such a little camper looks like it would tip the camper over if big uncle Harry and aunt Gertrude sat by the dinette window.

Nice li5tle Geopro😊😊👍👍👍👍👍

I have a 2022 version , some very slight differences , but it works great for us :)

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Yeah, not a whole lot change their

[@oldengineer1519]

We had a cabinet under the range in our Winnebago. It was not very deep and we ended up using for paper towel and garbage bag storage. I also placed the control panel for the Progressive EMS in the cabinet's sidewall. It let me see the display when needed but kept the light out of sight at night. I want hear about the brick building that shows up in the background of some of your videos.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

That’s a historic building. There are greyhound dog statues out front because it used to be a dog racing track ages ago

[@roypase8488]

Wish they could design this series with dual axles as shorter towables form other companies offer with shorter models...may be flaws on interior but I like the added safety option TY

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

If you go tandem, then this is basically the result m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/amGwpYJme7mJm5o

[@gaemlinsidoharthi]

Shelf or pocket to hold the phone or tablet near the USB outlets in the bunks please?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Great idea

[@mattthompson5143]

On small single axles how about a half bath ( full sink and medicine cabinet no tub/shower) Park campers have park facilities and off grid have their outside shower

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Mfgs have tried stuff like that. Not enough people were willing to buy rvs without bathrooms I actually agree with you though

[@FourteenFeetOfFun]

Josh! It looks like Rockwood just released literature for 2024 GeoPro models, including some interesting new floorplans and fun new updates! Get thee back down to the factory, stat, to sneek-peek them soon so I can see ‘em! Thanks for everything you do!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I plan to get my hands on all of them I can

[@jimtaylor1033]

I would take a step into slide if that made the difference to make it usable closed. I feel like its a real loss to HAVE to completely setup for a quick overnight

[@No_nonsense302]

Probly the first thing I done when we got a new camper recently was upgraded that fart fan to a max air fan

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

[@loneapple440]

Any idea how much the extra 200 watt panel with 3,000 watt inverter would be?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Not my area I am afraid. Our parts folks can assist

[@mikekyle-y8i]

If they had done the shower instead of the tub, the sink would be a good idea. Climbing over the tub to get to the sink would really suck!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I think they wanted to make sure you had plenty of elbow room. Tub curtains help that in small spaces

[@gaemlinsidoharthi]

With the vaulted ceiling, could someone fit a privacy curtain across the front bed area if they wanted?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Trickier to do.. but Rockwood actually includes a privacy curtain on their larger models with vaulted ceilings

[@casid9929]

The 2 small windows in the slide should be same height as large one. Larger would be better.

[@rodneypatete]

Love the videos…however, you should seriously consider an “Uncle Josh’s tips, tricks necessities and possibilities” series. You mentioned the fold up e-bikes. What does that look like inside? Is that something (e-bike’s) Bish’s carries or can get for customers looking to get them? Have fun, stay safe…and make more videos.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

That’s kinda what my entire “learn about stuff” playlist is 😉

[@almightyblue3744]

I would rather have the little corner sink than the “tub”.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

[@denrizza]

They have changed the rack that you mount the grill to. It looks more stable than the original.

[@tobbywhitmore3721]

Love the storage space ,and the light weight. The shower head room kills this 1 for me. Am Also 6ft

[@lornadavis476]

Honestly, I'd prefer a private bedroom, me and the hubby get up at different times. And I could do without an oven altogether, anything an oven could do while camping could be done with a toaster oven. Also, as a vertically challenged type person I would NEVER use a microwave that's above my head. I don't fancy a ramen shower! 🔥 😅

[@swamprat9018]

5.7 cubic ft fridge I think is the right size. that 10ft is to much of a power hog....but I'm finding the extra room just means more icecream and peach cobbler room.

[@gaemlinsidoharthi]

Nice looking little camper. Isn’t it.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

It sure is!

[@wildhog3217]

Yeah I wish that they did away with the step up dinette and carpet. I also wished that the bed was north and south.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Step up dinette is a symptom of the size. Rv would need to get a chunk taller to get over the wheel well

[@lauriehongsermeier4367]

Wish the geo pro 20bh had tandem axles. It would be my #1 choice over Winnabago.

[@bryana1942]

Question: why don’t small single axle bunkhouses, like this one, not have Murphy bed? It adds a lot of functionality. Is it about the weight? Personally, I think it would be worth it.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Some do. Not all. Wildwood 178bhsk or ember 191MSL for instance But some people don’t like Murphy beds

[@bryana1942]

@@JoshtheRVNerd I’m familiar with the Ember. The Wildwood looks interesting, thanks for the tip. 👍

[@jonathanverda5120]

Ok...ok...What God do we need to sacrifice the goat to in order to get Rockwood to finally get rid of the carpet. Honestly....

[@MK-cw4gw]

Let's hope it doesn't come to that lol

[@petethompson7193]

Is it a 60" wide bed? The plan says 54" and the 2022 was definitely 54" as I measured it myself. Loved this model, just couldn't get over the narrow queen. Would be happy to hear they've gone to a standard queen width for 2023.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

54” last I knew. Did I say otherwise in the video?

Hey josh do they have a layout like this but longer like a 29 or 30 ft but still be able to pull with 1/2 ton truck?

At that size a layout would change significantly They do make bunks but not sure what to recommend Maybe a 2706?

I saw that the Matt's RV guy is in Wixom right now. Any chance of you two making a joint review or would the dealer groups not be too keen on that?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

He and I are totally ok with it but our respective employers… not so much. Now and then we bump into one another at trade shows and “accidentally” slipping into one another’s videos

[@michael1988CA]

I love the exterior side access cargo area, so much that it will probably be the reason I buy this camper. You mention it can hold your folding e-bike. However, can you provide any measurements or what a standard non-folding bike would look like in that area? I have not had a chance to go to a dealer and I do not want to bring a bike and try and fit it while I am there either.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

With how they vary I don’t know that I can. I can only tell you how my stuff fits and our team can get some measurements for you from there

[@jonzaremba]

I like everything about this except the bunks. Would rather have the bath span the width and get a little more floor space elsewhere.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

[@Dogcats246]

OK, here we go… If you don’t like that dinette, you could always keep it folded down into a sleeper and just put a small mattress top on it and some pillows and make it into a big sofa for everybody to sit on. The skylight in the bathroom could actually be enlarged and heightened to help with not bumping your head. Don’t like the sink inside the shower. Who is going to stand there and lean over to wash their hands or brush their teeth? Maybe one of those fold down square sinks where you could actually reach it? And yes, expand that under bunk storage into the dinette area. 👍🏽
