Love the bathtub option! Keeps water off the floor and gives me a spot to store stuff when not in use. It's a big plus for me and my husband (no kids)!
This would be ideal for someone like me, a single traveler looking for a camper with a comfy bed, a recliner, a decent bathroom and kitchen -all at an affordable price point. Thank you Rockwood!
Is it well made? I want an enclosed underbelly to prevent having mice get in.
@@kathleendolphin7993
I would also want an enclosed underside for heating reasons and a bit of extra protection from rocks getting kicked up n potentially damaging a tank or what have you.
This shouldn't be too tough to add to this unit though. A few sheets of galvanized tin, box of roofing screws and a couple of tubes of beutilflex. Probably not too much money to have it done professionally if not the mechanically inclined.
Just a thought if you love the rest of this unit.
Ya I really like this one. Easy tow behind the truck. Nice storage. Looks easy to manage.
You left out a self centered woman
No Bo 19.2 is really nice too... I'm trying to narrow things down
20-25k is totally worth it. They should have an option for a cassette toilet for those not wanting a black tank
Holy cow, it’s refreshing to come to an RV comment section with polite, friendly comments. Y’all are a much better community than some of the other channels
Welcome to the friendly side of TH-cam 👍
Word
Wow you can even just sleep on the couch and never use the bed. This set up is very practical for a solo traveler for sure
The tub works great for cleaning my dog. Super great when its winter and to cold to bath her outside.
Bathtub is so much more than a child friendly option. Tub helps you with cleaning items indoors during bad weather, storage, etc. That tub is a selling point for me. I would full time as a solo in this one.
Great point!
True!
I just purchased one of these units yesterday, real excited and anxious to move in!
You had me with 'bottle opener". I currently own a 30' toy hauler and a 28' B+ 4X4 motor home. My advice is smaller is better as long as it's quality with the features needed.
Like many others, when I bought my first travel trailer, after the first outing I was shopping for a new diesel truck. Much cheaper to go small if needs permit.
The jack knife sofa would be good for afternoon naps and you can then save using the bed/mattress until night time. Nice set up
For sure!
It is ok for weekends...but full time to have to deal with the murphy bed every day is a no go for me...
For a couple who want to spend the majority of their time outside, I think for a short time (a week or less) this is a great option. I am always more impressed by the smaller trailers and 5th wheels because the designers have to be more innovative. Putting the microwave/convection oven in the place of the oven was a smart idea. We have a table in our small boat that is similar and it can be used in both the cabin and the cockpit. I wonder if this table can be used outside as well. If not, they might design a way to do that. Nice tour. I like your enthusiasm. I like this trailer.
This is a camper with a beautiful layout and great use of space. Thank you for sharing
Wind resistance is the problem with pulling this with a tacoma, colorado style truck. Weight AND wind resistance are 2 main things. This rig is just short of 10 ft tall.
After 10 years of searching finally my dream camper, going harvest my organs to buy one tho. Great presentation keep it up.
not bad at 17.5 feet....better then the 14 footers with outside kitchen and no bathroom.....all the units with outdoor kitchens look cool and cute when watching at home on you tube, but to go outside when it is 35 degrees and raining to cook dinner is a no go...
Both inside and out is ideal.and nobody likes cooking outside in rain especially cold rain ☔
Thank you for your service. 7ry 12b10 vet myself
25k is reasonable. Lots of space. I love the shower because it's separate from the toilet. Great value
Thank you Myles. I'm always asking you to show something like this. I've looked at the 19FD which is big for just me and I didn't like their 15 with convertible dinette/bed. This is a brilliant design! I love it.
Glad you like it and thanks for watching!
It's 90% perfect for what I'm looking for!
Our first camper was a Rockwood that had a tub. I loved it & still miss it. I used it as a bathtub for grand kids & dog, plus cleaning messy boots and more.
I love it! Totally liveable for me. I would just ditch the table, but the exposed water tanks worry me. I think that would be a deal breaker. Excluding that, it's perfect!
I agree i live in Colorado and that's a deal breaker for me here during the winter's ugh such a nice a little camper though if it weren't for those exposed water tanks i would probably get one
I started building a van to live and travel in, but I want a 4x4 to go adventuring on trails. So, 4x4 SUV or pickup towing a tiny home. That water tank though...
Yup, was on a trip with my camping buddy. His black tank partially froze on the highway and when we were setting up our rigs I asked him what's leaking under your black tank? The "black block of ice" had been sliding back and fourth until it broke out the side of his black tank. Not to mention fresh or grey water. Out in the dessert we learned how to use tire repair kit to fix a black tank, it was a crappy job however...
Dude I don’t own an rv and probably never will, but I watch all your stuff and friggin love it! Keep it up.
Haha love that! Thanks for watching! If it makes you feel better I don’t own one yet either 😂
Never say never. I got my first Harley at 61
I really like almost everything about this Rv except for me, I like a bed & sofa area that are separate. I had a 15’ as a second Rv that I used year round when it was just me & my dog going racing, visiting friends, family, going off grid hunting & to the lakes for probably 10yrs…I sold it during the pandemic because, well frankly everyone that saw it wanted to buy it & the offers kept going up where I couldn’t really say no😐. I really miss it & now am looking for another one in that size area for solo or one other person travel. Mine was a miniature version of my larger Rv with the front living area, side kitchen & opposite side bathroom along with rear bedroom. I really do like the looks of this & the off road capability it has. Can you order it with a different floor plan? 😁 I’m kicking myself for selling mine but it went to a good couple who love it too. Thanks For All You Do Showing Different RVs & Detailing Their Features. 👍🏻
i never bought a new trailer , always rebuilt an old one, same goes for this model, purchased it in 2020 from a savage yard, rebuilt it completely the only thing i changed was the refrigerator from a tiny 4.0 to a 13.5 cu.ft. house hold unit, in the shower i installed a large bibble top because im 6'-8" tall, change the a/c from 13,500 to 15,000 unit with a heat pump, added a 20 gal hot water heater on electrical (home depot)for added hot water and a longer shower time, the heater is under the trailer, !( water is only in the tank when at the campground or boondocking , empty when traveling, due to the added weight) , later i changed the axle from a 3500# to a 5500# axles and has bigger brakes for the stopping time needed, this trailer cost 14.500 new before covid and now its over 26,000. in total with all the added items it cost me 9000.00 total.
The tub in the shower is probably mostly for bathing pets. Would actually wash pots and pans in there too instead of using the tiny kitchen sink. Overall, that’s a very nice affordable RV.
We just purchased a 2021 Geo Pro G19FB as our starter camper. So impressed with the upgrades and amount of storage it provides in a small unit.
Really well designed! Huge fridge! Love it!
we have the GP 15TB now going on 1.8yrs, love it! This is a great improvement over the 15TB, especailly the bed and bath. some cons: no need to have 3 burner stove. We have it, and never have used more that two burners. rather have the extra counter top space with 2 burner.
slide: This is a deal breaker for us. But that is us, you may like slides, but we want a simple camper to use on long weekends. no slide for us.
finally, we have had no major issues with our GP15TB, even through 2hurricanes, and staying in it during an unexpected severe storm (+60mph winds/rain).. No leaks. love the windows as you can open them during rain.
thanks for sharing
I love the bathtub because it's more space if you need any water for something to rinse off
I just have to say that I’m really happy with my Casita SD. I bought it new in 2016 and can sell 7 years later for what I paid for it new. However, I love it and won’t be selling it anytime soon. Great video.
Casidas look impressive.never seen one in person.
@@Hankcrank-tf9yo Very durable, small but we don’t live in our camper we live out of it. Great for boondocking with all the things you need to travel.
Schwintek slide is also a must avoid Lippert mechanism!
I’ve heard that quite a bit.
I tend to agree. I had a pre-owned Geo Pro 16BH. It had a major non warranty issue with the slide mechanism which was going to cost $3k + to fix. I sold the RV because I wasn’t willing to dump that much money on a problem that Lippert should have stepped up and fixed at no charge.
I have heard that Scamp brags, in their ads, about not using any Lippert parts.@@deltabravo1257
Nice run down. I like the look of it a lot, especially the water re-circulation system in the shower. Any chance they have that for the kitchen faucet too? That would be nice.
Maybe you could run the shower recirculation system to get hot water at the sink too.
Very nice.. wouldn't mind having one.
Hi Miles, I really like this lil rig . I wish it had some real storage space for full time living. Is there a step up ?
Also dual pane windows as this will be based in the Desert . PS You do A terrific job and look forward to your other site.
Great video...exactly what I was looking for in a review.
Thanks for watching!
I really like this camper, if I was a single solo camper, I would be all over it!
It is ok for weekends...but full time to have to deal with the murphy bed every day is a no go for me...
Howdy and informative vid, We have had several units over time, from slide in to bumper pull and the last and best one is a Mallard/Prowler 19N by Fleetwood.(I don't think they make units any more). This checks all the boxes and has the most usable floor space, more than a 26 ft Gulfstream. Dedicated bed, proper bathroom, cook top/oven and we once fed 9 people inside, granted the kids were on the bed. We still have it!
Thanks for the video! The tub style shower is awesome and I love the table. My husband and I need more space but I'm looking at the Rookwood 5th wheels right now. These are so cool!
I love this compact camper. It looks like what we've been looking for.
This is perfect, I might have to start looking for one, thanks for the video
Love the design of this camper , so comfy with the couch and bed design, roomy shower . ❤
WOW that cold water collector is a game changer!
This is really nicely planned out. 👍
I wouldn’t be able to camp in it, husband is 6’6” tall! But nice design. Blessings and Peace ✝️❤️
Looks great 👍

Very informative video...this rv has all the great amenities of a lrgr. rv, but at a great price 👌..perfect for a couple...ty for sharing this with us 😊
I tent camp so anything is an upgrade but this is amazing for such a small trailer. A small trailer with a slide out!? Are you kidding me!?
I know people that bought Rockwood RVs and they said they were junk. Prove them wrong. I'm still looking.
I have a 2022nG19FBS and love it. No problems at all.
Soory dude , my bad, good reviews . You touched on all points. Thank you
Great little unit and I do like the tub.
The tub can be used wash your clothes by hand so it’s a good ideal to have it.
And my dog! 🐶
Great idea! Thanks for the input
Good point.
I love this trailer!
Love love love the tub❤
Love our 2021 Geo Pro 19BH
I actually like it. Not a fan of unprotected water tanks or that table but a decent price. We had a 19 ft HiLo bsck in 1988 and it was same price but much bigger.
oh my goodness love the baby goats so precious
I like it. I most likely will get one. Good video 👍
Stumbled upon this video, happy I did to hear about your Firmly Unbound company. I was curious awhile ago if there were any like outdoor/off roading companies or groups out there that are faith based and use that as a key foundation!
Wow. This is perfect.
Absolutely Perfect 👌
I've always liked the Murphy bed/sofa combo. I'd prefer having a Maxxair fan directly over the bed for a quiet air flow at night though ... not sure if that could be an option.
It is ok for weekends...but full time to have to deal with the murphy bed every day is a no go for me...
Would like a regular shower with a retractable door/curtain. But this will do. Good layout.
Love it, Myles! Great coverage and insight. It’s something I’ll be in the market for after saving. I just retired and hope to get back into fishing again. However, the first thing I need is something to pull it with. I’m eyeballing the Ford Ranger and I’ll be putting a shell on it for more storage and a rack for a canoe or something small.

Nice video! 5:54 looks like the Chief Hosa exit on I-70.
This is great. I love this one.
Outdoor shower? BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
It would be nice to have dual axles. I've had a blow out on my trailer and was soooooo happy I had dual axles.
$$$$$$$$?
It might be a little cold in Ontario in the middle of winter to shower outside 😅
Impressive little camper
Love all the storage spots, especially the bathroom. And lots of useable things in the kitchen l would enjoy like the dual microwave. At 5ft tall l don't need a bed that big though. 🐾🌈☮️🇨🇦
I want this . Awesome review
This is the perfect size for my FJ Cruiser.
That's amazing! I can't drive, and I live in a different country, but I really want one of these :)
Let us know! I'm curious 😮
firmly unbound. love it.
You make a good salesman, on RV's and your other channel :-) Which I am going to visit right now! Blessings brother!
I do like the bathtub, not necessarily because I’d want to take a bath, although it’s an option for that rare event, but it surely will not be leaking as it is a great catch basin, and you can do other things. Say you had some clothes to soak or needed that utility basin for whatever. Yes all RV showers should be like this.
Perfect!
Love this one! ❤
I would use the tub to wash our dog! This is fabulous!
And yes ! Forest river is top notch
Like! Been researching, this checks alot of the boxes. Not too keen on the tub shower combo. Had one in my old Class C. Didn't like the "step up" to shower. Bathtub a joke for adult to sit in. The jackknife sofa is a great option for a quick overnight sleep. If setup in a camp ground or boondocking. Patio awning area would be my preference for a "living room" in good weather. Then Murphy bed could be set up. The Nucamp T@B 400 boondock, has the table attachment outside. So dining and lounge area can been made up on patio area. I could see this trailer working, with the option of a screened in patio area. Thanks for sharing video. Price point is still within a obtainable area!
Nice unit.
This is a really great trailer
My favorite so far
Nice floorplan
Thanks for watching!
Enclosures are an option, just like
Most campers. Hopefully one day it will be industry standard. By the way, check out the sunset trail line. More great stuff!
Give me the same layout just flipped so you walk in at the kitchen and it’s the perfect camper. 😊
What a nice small unit
Beware of Forest River/Rockwood/Flagstaff models. Mine had serious manufacturing defects which they admitted to, towed the camper back to the factory, then proceeded to return it to me severely damaged. They've agreed to fix the easy, cheap stuff but not the expensive, important stuff. If you think I'm just one disgruntled customer, take a look at the Better Business Bureau's Forest River page - 1 star out of 5. If I can help just one person not go through the months long agony and financial hardship I have, it will be enough. Thanks for reading.
Well to me when you go camping you spend 95% of the time outside. With that being said I like the option of having a full but small bathroom. What I do really like about this one is there is counter space for a small coffee pot where a lot of campers have very little if none space for a coffee pot. The fridge is nice size for one or two people. I really like the recliners so you can watch tv at night.
Now I’m not crazy about the arms of the couch being beside the bed like these and makes it hard to get out of bed for them midnights bathroom trips. So you have to move all the covers and slide down the bed to get out. I do like the fold down foot board. Makes it look like a real bed.
Now you will want a truck to pull this very much. A bigger SUV may do it for short trips but not for long trips across the country.
So I would give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. That’s 4 stars out of 5. Or maybe 4.5 out of 5 from the video. Now maybe in person it could look better. Price is not really that bad at all also considering the economy the way it is now.
Cool closet on wheels.
This one is very nice actually .One of the nicer layouts.
Love it I’m getting one
Cool 😎,I like this model 👍
Very nice 😊
Geo Pro trailers are really made well, I had the 2021 20 foot and would buy another forest river in a minute.
Pretty mint, I reckon!
This would be perfect for me and my dog.
Thanks Myles, looks like a great little trailer. Does it have a space heater? How many BTU's for the heater, also the A/C unit??
OOKS NICE
LOOKS
