I like this model because I can put my lectric bikes in the bunk area. Im actually going to buy one of these tomorrow. Haha
Great review!! This model is what my wife and I are interested in.
Good choice!
I'm going to do some bragging about you, You are the most knowledgeable RV guy I have watched on You Tube, Not sure you can answer cause I haven't seen any vids on Class A, But I'm desperately trying to find a schematic on a Forest River Georgetown 2015 351, just bought it used and the front left slide won't go out but a foot maybe, it does go back in, I for the life of me can't find the gearbox for a manual solution, any help is greatly and thankfully appreciated
Apologies- that’s a little more specific than I am going to be able to field. I think I would recommend speaking with a service center who can put their hands on it directly
Nix the weird toothbrush corner half-shelf. Instead, install
under med cabinet bottom,
a towel bar. *If you gotta put
a toothbrush caddy, install
clip type to inside of medicine
cabinet. (cleaner too)
We are graduating from a Coleman 17b to a 2021 Geo Pro 19bh that we found for $24,500. I have been looking at these since 2019 and once my wife saw it, she understood why. The one we are getting has the oven in it as well. I am a blessed man. Also, we will be using the bunk space for both storage and sleep time.
Fish eye shows more which is what we need to see ..
At least what I would like to see .
But maybe others might not like it
I get it. That’s fair. I also think simply moving the camera a bit accomplished the same thing without the distortion
@@JoshtheRVNerd could be I think it depends on the quality of the camera.
The humans eyes are roughly about 180 degrees which is what the fish eye roughly gives you .. so it’s actually more natural if you keep it right about the same viewing angle . Anymore and I agree it’s get a little funky … maybe you can included both viewing angles in your videos ?
For the length of this TT, I'd have no problem doing any not already prepped food prep at the dinette. But if we were to have a camper like this, I'd do what I could to have stuff chopped and ready to use and stashed in fridge before leaving home. It's a sweet, compact camper...I'm not worried about 'no dream kitchen'. :) Good vid, great unit!
TY Wendy
You can use the ladder as a tower rack tower. There is not an RV on the planet with enough towel hanging space!
wow.. that's awesome thinking!
Any opinion on the Geo vs No Boundaries?
Originally NoBo was just an R-Pod with a blocky front end instead of sweep-back design
Over time NoBo has really evolved into its own critter. They both hit a lot of the same notes but often I've seen the individual floor plans or features seem to speak to a different type/style of camping
Beyond that I don't like doing direct comparisons to brands we don't carry as I don't feel they can be seen as "unbias"
Not sharp shooting. The forest river website says it's 7 ft 8in. I think. In a small trailer ever inch matters. My first rv was a 2007 summit 23rb. The space between the kitchen and dinette was tight. My current rv is a 2018 2109s and inroad mode it's 30 inches between the couch and kitchen. I am curious about this rv. On camera it looks like a decent amount of space between the dinette and kitchen.
The body is 7ft
The axles stick out a bit. That’s where the discrepancy comes from
Would love to live in one. Very nice.
Does anyone know the weight capacities for the bunks?
Rockwood typically builds to 300lbs with aluminum framing but I cannot recall specifically for every model
Cargo
What is the weight limit on the bunk beds?
I can’t remember offhand as I just see too many rvs to know them all. Contact our team at www.bishs.com/contact/ and they can physically check one to verify for you :)
We love ours. Just about the perfect size for the 3 of us. Occasionally it can feel a little cramped like when we're making dinner inside but for the most part the size is just right. It tows like a dream behind a Lexus GX470 and I really like the bunk storage area. I can fit our 3500w generator and 200w solar panels along with cords, tarps, fishing gear, etc and still have room to spare. I load the heavy stuff towards the front so it's close to the axle and it pulls great. Also, you can keep the bottom bunk mattress where it belongs if you move the latch plate a couple of inches out. Your videos are what sold us on the Geo Pro, thanks!
Man I love seeing feedback from real owners like this. TY so much for sharing!
Since our videos were helpful, then would you mind dropping a review for us at www.haylettautoandrv.com/review-us/ in return for the efforts?
@@JoshtheRVNerd done!
I know that higher profile air conditioners are often a little more energy efficient which is a thing some people want.
Do they offer a sofa in place of dinette?
Not currently but this brand does m.th-cam.com/video/wWX45Eo0CE8/w-d-xo.html
And also here m.th-cam.com/video/qKqFa1iFaO8/w-d-xo.html
@@JoshtheRVNerd you rock ! Ty
Wish have the option to get rid of the bunks and use for more storage, have a larger bathroom, or even a portable washer/dryer!
Cute but way to small for me
I would actually like to see a Murphy bed in the 16BHS!
Seems perfect for a first time buyer. And that's the model we want to get when we get to that point. Plus this would be perfect for taking to Disney and staying at one of the full hook up sites.
Great job Josh, love the hold my beer of campers! Rockwood could take a lesson for what you do for your viewers. Hate Rockwood's mini video's making something for two minutes isn't worth my time when we're spending 30G!
Oh those ultra fast make-you-sick things they crank out?
This is nice but the one up from this (20FBS) is even better!
A really really nice trailer
I would love to add the second solar panel and use the solar prep to add a 200 watt solar suitcase for powering two of the Battleborn lithium batteries and I would swap out the 1000 watt inverter with a 2000 watt inverter that would allow me to operate the microwave
In addition I would love to have the rear hitch for mounting a spare tire and a generator which could power the air conditioning
That'd be a NICE package to see!
Your good man! Geo pro loving them for sure.
TY :)
Do you think getting a used one would be just as good ? This is perfect for our family because it will be our first camper and we want no slide maintenance to worry about. How is buying a used rv ? Is it risky to get one without a warranty ? We would buy new but just too far out of our price range
Obviously with used you need to review it’s condition. I can’t give a definitive answer for something like that without an RV to reference against.
I have seen used stuff like new
I have seen it beaten within an inch of its life
Used should save you money, but typically have no warranty
It’s a give and take. People do it all the time. I have never purchased a brand new vehicle for instance and always been just fine
Hey Josh, I have a 2022 E-Pro 19BH, and have some questions. Never been used, due to unforseen circumstances. What should I do?
How about maybe more information is somewhat difficult to say. Are you asking what to do to get rid of it? Have you tried listing it privately? RV Trader? Consignment?
@@JoshtheRVNerd Flagstaff E-pro 19bh, had some pressing med issues, and haven't been able to use it. We were think about either someone taking over payments or putting on FB marketplace.
@@JoshtheRVNerd has gas oven, 3 burner stove, heat works, water pump works, got it winterized now, all lights work, ac works, water heater checks out fine, before winterization.
If they’d put a true Queen up front it’d be a home run. The back flip up bunk access would be perfect for them folding Ebikes.
Never considered those bikes. That’s a great idea!!
I do like the storage potential of a bunkhouse, but I'd probably go with the 19FBS in the Geo Pro. Staying in the Rockwood family that 2109 or 2205 Mini Lite are really in the sweet spot of having everything I need in a smaller package.
This is a very nice TT. I compared with the Jayco 171BH and bought the Jayco. My wife and I could not get past the dentist’s sink in the shower. For us it was a deal breaker. Also the Jayco overall had a better, nicer bathroom with full vanity and more bathroom storage. Also the cabinetry in the Jayco overall, we felt, was superior. Make no mistake the Geo-Pro/ePro are excellent, excellent TTs, but for us, the Jayco received the nod.
"dentist sink" is my new favorite thing hahaha
21:20 for some reason I heard “leasing” when you said “leisure”, but that would be an interesting business model to lease RV’s, like cars, so you make money during the lease period; then, since you still own it, you can sell it as a used RV (maybe to the leaser if they really liked it)‼️ 🤔 💭 🧐 anyone out there doing this already (& I don’t mean rentals)⁉️ 🤑
I want to say, there's a profit related reason why they don't do this, based on the wear and tear of RVs, but I'm no industry or economy expert, and its a fallacy to assume that humankind would be doing everything it could possibly do in its own best interests...so maybe this will come up one day. If you find one, link it to me, please!
I can't wait to get our 19bh. We will be selling our R-Pod 178 for it.
Well Josh, I'm really becoming interested in these Rockwoods! I believe most families looking for a small unit like this would be ok without an oven. The storage area is necessary for a family of four. Still not cheating on Jayco though 💯
Just got the Jayco version of this today. Video next Monday!!
I don't believe that your are giving up too much storage, you can put things in the oven when not in use.
#loveit - the shower sink is a great space restricted feature.
Excellent review, excellent trailer. We just bought it today. Only issue I see is scraping the under trailer mounted spare…why it was placed there I don’t know. Defeats the impressive lift kit clearance. Ill be removing that tire and storing in my truck bed. Thx.
Yeah I think that spare's mounting position was likely a case of "where else are we going to put it?"
There's not really a spot on the back for it and tongue mounts can interfere with some hitching.
Just a theory.
@@JoshtheRVNerd Looking at the rear ladder, i believe a strong lateral extension could be added to connect the spare to it. Even better, make it swing like the rear door mounts in jeeps. Thank you for responding, btw. Appreciated. I loved the factory tour!
Man…if they would make this floor plan with a Murphy bed in place of permanent bed, that would be the ideal geo pro trailer.
That's what impresses me with wildwood.. they're SUPER crafty with their little stick and tins like this th-cam.com/video/KXvWiK7Fr_A/w-d-xo.html
Really like these GeoPros. The exterior styling and a dedicated bed, not the dinette made into a bed. Unfortunately this one is about a 1000lbs too heavy for a Jeep, oh well I guess the 14fb or 15tb(I believe those are the model numbers) will do.
14’s were discontinued for 2020. 15TB would be a great option.
Wish they made that with a Murphy bed
It would be great!!
My wife wants on the these
Well Bobby I recommend you go look in the mirror and remember your wife has EXCELLENT taste in things :)
@@JoshtheRVNerd lo I will for sure
Nicely done as all the Geo Pros are. But doesn’t really float my boat personally.
Fair enough!
I'm curious. Is it possible to put in one of those squeegee shower doors? I wish that was an option. I hate the shower curtain.
Not from the factory
Maybe aftermarket
1:35 nice to see a manufacturer standardizing the Roof Ladder 🪜 while others are removing them completely without even an option to add one (even after market)‼️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽
16:58 great minds 🧠 🧲 🧠 🤔 💭 🧐… or maybe we’re just both 😜‼️🤯🤯
We agree!
All it needs is standard oven, fold down counter extension, or slide out shelf, from the range top might make sense. After all it a compact family trailer & kids needs there pizza’s & lasagna!
Does it have a higher voltage inverter option? Or wouldn’t a 12v ac unit work in this size trailer?
I’d double the solar as a standard pkg also…
Those aren’t yet available but they have a more advanced package coming
Didn’t see a black tank flush. Also didn’t see a sewer hose caddy, Off center line stowage aft of the single axel for bikes or other heavy equipment when in transit might present a weight distribution or sway control issue. As nice as she looks, the Rockwood 19BH might not be as a wise a choice as the Rockwood 19FD or the Rockwood 19 FD for a no slide trailer; budget permitting. Respectfully, WS
Black flush on the back wall near the bathroom's location
Question is, how many RC airplanes can I stick in it to take to the fly in parties? I usually do one or two a year, and get a hotel/motel because I am towing my RC trailer to the field. This year we have the 5th wheel which is WAY too big to take to the field, and no way to carry the planes, so have to have the wife drive one truck while I drive the other. Would be great to have a small trailer like this that had room for the planes. I have a 6 X 12 enclosed for the planes. Thoughts?
I'm not at all familiar with those things and don't feel remotely qualified to try to field this one
You said the ownership word at the end because "Stone Cold said so!" to do it lol.
lol
Two questions. 1. WHY ,why,why do some Manufacturers do a Front pass-through storage with one door smaller than the other?
2. What was the door on the rear left on this video for? Was that just storage?
Thanks again for the videos! And I laughed very hard at your “we’re going live Stone cold Austin“ comment. 😂
1.) Couldn’t tell you
2.) I think the door you’re referring to may be something like water filter access
@@JoshtheRVNerd the door you mentioned that “you had to slam”.
Anyway, thanks!
I may stop by around the week of September 16. I’ll take a look at your inventory. Headed up to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park to do some camping with my girlfriend.
@@COMMANDER-ONE We're slowly rebuilding our stock. Hopefully you'll have more to look at
Thank you for your reviews on just about all RV stuff! That said Lol 😆 I hate it when I'm looking forward to seeing these RVs and the BED is first thing by the entry door HATE HATE HATE that! Make it Jackknife sofa w/a Murphy bed! !! It's not that much more $ ! Will never ever buy an RV with a "bed in your face" when you open the door! Pass it on 🙃
Love this camper and review but at $25k it's way out of my league. 😢😢😢 where was I two years ago.
Hi Josh, im kinda a newbie concerning the tow capacity, hitch load etc...
Do you think a full size SUV (Explorer 5300 lbs, Pathfinder 6000 lbs etc..) is OK for towing this unit? I saw that the max weight is rated 4 425 lbs.
Thanks for your help!!
That should be a solid pairing
Obviously more capacity is better than less here
@@JoshtheRVNerd thanks for your feedback! Really appreciate your videos, they are much informative
Storage over oven every time...especially in a trailer this size.
Personally I agree, but some folks camp differently
11:29 😇🐄❗️ 😇💩‼️ 😆
16:22 Mrs.Forrester gets a mention while you tour a GeoPro by Forrest River 🤔💭 … is it a #conspiracy 🧐
hahaha didnt' think about that :)
No price given unless you give your phone number. 😕
We publish pricing for anything we have in stock but sometimes popular models like this get picked off for an extended time
Don’t want to give your phone? Use a fake one lol
@@JoshtheRVNerd I wish you had a location in NC. I enjoy watching your videos but I have to admit you are a bit on the goofy side which is probably why I keep listening. What does that say about me 😂.
The only reason I didn't want to give my phone number is because I don't want any phone calls.
@@bonespiel I totally get it! I’m the same really
This coach is almost perfect. No slides. Nice front storage. A couple may use the bunks as storage. With cargo door, I probably store under the bunks, my fishing equipment and a small inverter generator just in case. A separate cooler and daddy drinks may help also.
I don't know how much space from the floor to under the first bunk but, maybe a pet can sleep there. Some people may buy a 3rd mattress and put a two-year old there.
If possible, the only thing I would love is the bigger almost 11CuFt 12V fridge even if I have to increase the solar package.
Small pets will have no problems under that bunk. A mastiff wouldn’t fit obviously lol
the new decals are horrible to me, I feel like a giant eye is staring at me

I can’t fathom why they still have not listened to people. They just keep digging their heels in.
People want netting gone and actual cabinets on top of bed. It would take them like 1 sheet of cabinet material to do that.
They still stuck with that redonkulous shower sink that serves absolutely no purpose. It behooves me how literally every single geo pro has a proper sink with exception of 19bh and 20bh… like what in the actual flipping duck…. Man… and I dont want to hear how there is no space because they put proper sink in literally all of their other models. They need to ditch the useless shower sink already. You can’t even brush your teeth in it without first having to climb inside the tub.
This rv is almost perfect except for the things they overlook year to year. There is literally no reason why they can’t put a bathroom sink into 19bh and 20bh considering all other geo pros have a proper sink in same space.
After visiting their facilities recently in my factory tour series I can say with confidence they do listen, but they're painted into a corner currently
They do not have time to dedicated to re-developing existing best selling models right now. When things "cool," then you'll see some serious facelifting from a lot of brands
Really appreciate these insights and what you've shared by the way. Please keep it coming!
“People want netting gone and actual cabinets above the bed” not necessarily true. It may be what you want. I’m short. I’d like to be able to what’s up there without having to stand on the bed. Cabinet doors would restrict what I could put up there as well by making the opening smaller. The netting allows stuff to stick out if need be. Netting is also more easily customizable and replaceable. Rockwood hasn’t overlooked anything. At all. Ever.
@@eohcyt2996 literally every single review video of geo pros and e pros by people who own these things no matter what model all mentioned they want cabinets. In fact except for these 2 makes, industry standard is a cabinet. I see what you are saying but you can just as easily take the door off and put a net there. With respect to “seeing” what is up there, you should know what is up there because you are the one who put it there in the first place. I have a class c rv and used to have travel trailers and proper storage is always a must have. So is a sink to brush your teeth in or wash your hands in after bathroom. Just think, a short person who cant reach shower sink over entire bathtub goes #1 or #2 and using “dirty hands” touches knobs, walks into kitchen to touch that faucet to wash hands in sink where you prep food…
Literally every single competition to geo pro has proper bathroom sink and over bed cabinets. Only units not to have a bathroom sink would be cheapo viking/clipper 17bh trailers but industry standard is sink in bathroom or in some class c like 24 ft models right outside but that is on 20 year old models
@@moretoliving2236 you might want to stick to your class c then. I can just as easily tell you to put cabinet doors on if you want them. Literally no one is stopping you. Literally.
I don’t understand people who use public bathhouses with stalls which need to be opened after using the facility but who won’t open a door and walk 3 feet to a sink in their own camper. It makes no sense. Unless you don’t use public facilities ever in which case 👍🏻
@@eohcyt2996 I'm typing this while lying in my Flagstaff E-Pro E20BHS, which is identical to the Geo Pro 20BHS.
I just brushed my teeth in the sink, no problem, as did my wife. We prefer the netted storage with soft sided rope baskets for our clothes.
Your experience is not everyone's experience. We LOVE this camper.
First
Well done and welcome :)
This is perfect for me
Love it!!❤
Awesome! :)
Every sink in the shower model automatically loses me..I do like the Geo Pro line though..
Fair enough! TY for sharing your preferences! Helps me determine patterns
I love your videos! I have to ask. Did you fart at 6:07?
Lol no 🤣
I’d use this for camping for 4
I love the no slide. Less moving parts to malfunction. Being a solo nomad camper, I'd have no use for the bunks. And I would be very concerned about weight distribution using that space for storage.
Bunks are overrated, IMO. IDK I wasn't raised in American culture maybe a LOT of people take their kids RVing...I usually click off a video the moment I see bunks. I feel like since 10 years ago the demographic of people investing in RVs are becoming less and less involved with their dependents in said activity. Also, there isn't a single sofa or dinette that doesn't convert...it just seems like a suboptimal feature to invest space in, since the other options are much more flexible. Also, can imagine the nightmares of finding sheets for bunk bed sizes. If your kid is so small that you feel like it is a waste of space to use a convertible dinette, can't they just sleep on the bed with you? Bunks are really only justifiable if you're Mormon with like 5 kids.
@@justintung7981 LOL! Bunks are just the best selling models in the industry but okay. Trust me, if you have kids, the best thing you can have is a sleeping space for them and their stuff that you don't have to convert every day, TWICE. Bunks are fantastic for families.
@@justintung7981 Us Catholics can out offspring the good people of the LDS anyday! LOL The average American family size is 3.1 in 2020 (where they're hiding that .1 person is beyond me) The bunks are very useful for a young family of average size. If more space is needed pack along a tent. I would be a solo traveler but even at that I want the bunks to remove the bottom to convert to a solar/battery room. The top bunk would be great for storage.
This trailer is designed for weekend warriors who have a smaller tow vehicle.....perfect!
Think I may have found the footprint for our next RV!!! I talk about my EV so much my spell check have me a fight to type RV!!! Lol
@@justintung7981 I see plenty of families RV'ing at the campgrounds we go to. We have two boys who sleep great in the bunks which leaves the bed nice and open for my wife and I to sleep great as well. To each their own 👍
Ive looked at the 2023's and they are gorgeous, BUT, all the floorplans are awful! One has the couch facing the bathroom, like two feet away from the bathroom door!😫😫😫
Looking forward to the 2023 19BH review.
I think I have one coming next monday actually so.. stay tuned! I don't think you'll need to wait long
Who do recommend to source in Western Washington State

Has to be the best no-slide bunk house on the entire market. So much goodness I am struggling to think of what I'd want to add or change.
Josh my current travel trailer is a Rockwood 2109s. Lots to like about it and how its made. The Geo Pros are smaller and lighter. How much do you think that improves mpg? I get on, light wind days, 10.5 mpg with an F150 3.5 Ecoboost. Everyone can chuckle at me but by Mom loves to travel. So it me, her and my dog. The 2109s is great until its time to go to sleep.
I have no MPG data I can offer. Not likely a great deal.
great trailer for 1, but no sink in bathroom?
Mini Sink in the Shower Itself. No space available for a traditional sink setup
Can you remove the head board or is there wires or other behind the head board?
I think they have a set of outlets run there but you may be able to reposition or clip/cap off the wires
Josh, do you think it would be doable to add a privacy curtain for the front bed?
I've seen things like that done. The radius roof making it a bit trickier of course
Is 7' wide correct? I want to say it is not.
7ft body
+a few inches for the wheels sticking out just slightly
Is the underbelly enclosed in the Geo line? If not, any sense that they will soon? Seems to make sense for off road and colder use.
They are not and I don't see it as even a possibility currently since their holding tanks are taller than the chassis. That's one of the reasons the Jay Feather Micros are larger/weigh more -- they have a chassis large enough to enclose the belly (Which they do standard)
Here's the Jayco version of this which might be just the ticket for you:

Josh, love the color tone of the interior: light without looking sterile. I am always impressed when I see Rockwoods aluminum construction. The welds look generous.....not a chintzy spot weld.
Not crazy on the bathroom sink. Would be hard for someone who just wants to shave.
Should of talked more on kitchen sink cover.
Overall really nice.
You just gotta get used to the idea of letting water splashes and such fall into the tub. My brain at first felt like that was equal to wetting the floor till I told myself "that's a tub"
19BH and 20BHS are both awesome. We love our 19BH with two 6yo boys but when we are all piled inside due to weather, I kinda wish we had the 20BHS. I love the 19BH without a slide though, wanted to avoid slides for out first full size trailer (coming from a Nobo 10.6)
Hey bro, any travel trailer that a Toyota Sienna can tow, comes with bunk beds?
I squirm at the thought of it. I know siennas can handle a bit more than some in their class but with cargo I feel like you’re pushing it too much. I just don’t like how the numbers add up
As Josh indicates, a Sienna is NOT an ideal tow vehicle for this unit. That said, we actually tow this exact same unit (a 2019 that is a bit lighter) with a 2022 Sienna. We have put about 4,000 miles on it and it does tow fairly well. Granted, most of our towing has been in areas that are relatively flat (FL). You MUST install a weight distribution and closely watch your weights. We removed the 2 lead acid batteries from the tongue and installed a single 400AH lithium under the dinette bench and that really helped. You also have to be smart when towing and we rarely go over 60 MPH (that also saves on gas). Speaking of which, we are getting about 20 MPH when towing. Sienna is certainly NOT an ideal tow vehicle for this unit but it can be done.
The big test will be this summer when we take it from FL to Washington state, and back!
How long does the ax run on the batteries fully charged?
There’s no definitive answer to this, as it really depends on a lot of ambient factors. Give or take a few hours about the best I can tell you.
@@JoshtheRVNerd thank you for you reply and all your work it makes me want to come all the way up there to buy and rv from you from Mississippi brother!! Keep it up.
@@SuperGotgames I try man. Nice profile pic btw :)
@@JoshtheRVNerd thanks bro I am a super nerd. Game developer. That is a picture I did up for a project where I made a mage system for other developers to stream line their process of making any mage type game.
I thought I heard that they changed the floor to a thicker, stronger platform. Is this true and is it 2021 or 2022 model year?
I don’t recall the actual start date but yeah they did. You can see it here m.th-cam.com/video/jW5t_OOUuRY/w-d-xo.html
@@JoshtheRVNerd thank you, I'm trying to figure out when it was done and only look at used units with the upgrade for the 19BH.
We have the 2021 19BH E-Pro and we love it. Also they're lithium battery ready. I dropped in a 100amp hr lithium and just switched the charge controller to the lithium setting. Works amazing.
Nice! TY Jeff! :)
My understanding of that btw is the converter will get the battery to 80% but it requires the solar to top it off. That may have changed however
Yea team Rockwood. This unit is just right for a single parent with one or two little ones to make wonderful weakened memories or a solo camping person. 👍👍
"Holy crap, it's a nice bathroom, Batman!" Epic. 😅
13:01 Neither (Love It or Leave It); I just Like It; as it gets the job done well for the space (& better than having to wash your hands in the kitchen sink).
Fair. TY
17:10 this is the only BH models I could see myself getting, as I don’t need or want a Bunk House, because that area is a totally massive storage area accessible from inside & outside ‼️👍🏽👍🏽 I’d probably remove the bed platforms 🤷🏽♂️
19:45 A: Why Yes! Yes I Would! 👆🏽
I love Geo Pros but any dinette only floor plan with an East west bed gives me nightmares😱😱😱
I wish they would offer a sofa option on these
As I have said before Rockwood rocks. I hope to get a MiniLite or GeoPro for next camping season.
I would use the camper as a couple / single and remove the top bunk. Turn the remaining bunk into a loungy reading kinda corner.
I watch just about every video you put out - thank you! So we went with the No Boundaries 19.8 as our first trailer back in January. This exact layout but it has the dinette on a slide. I like the vaulted ceilings and solar standard on the GeoPro's. And they were 100% smarter on their bathroom layout. You lose the sink in the GeoPro but I would argue its better because you don't have to literally sit sideways on the toilet... We took it out 6 times this year and we love going out. The biggest takeaway for us though? We need a bigger trailer! We're really considering the Cougar 29BHS but I'm also going to need a bigger truck!
TY for sharing all of this. So often when I see someone comment who owns another camper they share only why theirs is better or seem perhaps defensive
NoBo is a GOOD camper that does a lot right. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate how you can still see the positive qualities in something else
It’s a humdingdangar!
That there Clark is an "Arrvee"
2:37 Built In (INCLUDED)🚪🪟 Shade❗️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽🙌🏽
I still like the Jayco 171bh way more. More features, bigger fresh water tank, looks better inside and out, and is slightly larger. I laughed super hard at the 2 coors lights comment 🤣
Just got a 2022 171BH today -- video coming next monday!! :)
@@JoshtheRVNerd Hell yeah!!! Can't wait to see it and the new features it hopefully has!!!
@@dutra45 It's not a MAJOR departure from last year's version, but has a few nice tweaks about it
One I think I forgot to mention in the video is the new larger A/C unit
Q: How tall are you?
A: I'm 6' 3" tall with my hand over my head. ;)
Really cute and I like the interior colors and new body graphics.
TY Roanna!
From one RV Noid to another, I like it.......A lot!!
A dc ac unit and a few extra large batteries and you get a perfect package.
Josh , I know your tired of reading this ....... but someday
I keep making videos
You keep commenting
and then someday...
I think it would be great for a family with just one kid. I would like the oven, and definitely the double solar. You are losing that one cabinet with a oven, but you have the drawers under the table benches. the area under the bunk would be a good place for your chairs and coolers and a small outside table. it seems that the spare tire is in a tough place to get to.
Ty for this. Really helps
This would be a good camper for my family
We use our propane oven as storage 🙂 in the winter it's nice baking cookies in the oven for the kids. We love our 2021 19BH, about twice a month in it since Feb '21. Sometimes we think the 20BHS would be nice to have but I love not having to worry about slides.
This model with theatre seating instead of a bed up front would be perfect for me. I can utilize the bunks in the back for sleeping. Also a composting toilet would be cool.
Dude that screen name + profile pic.. wow took me back lol :)
@@JoshtheRVNerd lmao!! it’s rare that people catch on!! Thanks for the reply!
