Agree 30G fresh water tank, I own the Jayco Micro 2024 166fbs with a 50G potable water tank enclosed for off grid must have. Like the geo but upgrade the holding tanks MUST!!
I have a 2023 19FDS and I really like the layout. Having a tandem axle would be nice for stability but I can't have the added weight since my TV is a 4Runner.
❤❤❤❤ it's a comfy cozy teeny tiny😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ it would be super cool if you could find something in a larger size that has the exact amenities loving that bathtub
We had a real-lite until very recently that I still love, but yes I couldn't get past that single axle. When we purchased, I thought, okay couple of trips a year 30 miles to the lake but we loved RV'ing so much we were taking it everywhere 200+ miles. Anyway, I think single axles still serve a good purpose but if you are going to go a lot, get a tandem.
31 gallon fresh water tank is pretty small. Wish they could up it to at least 50 gallons. And enclose the underbelly.. makes it seem very cheap exposed.
I understand that and agree. I was a little surprised to see an exposed underbelly. I guess it has one pro that it makes it easier to get to stuff under there, but that’s about it.
@@mylesrv Dude, can you from now on just simply do a complete 360 outside video capture? I'd like to always see the brand name of the frame whether its Lippert or preferrably BAL Norco.. you went half way up the non campside to show the drain then stopped and went back the other way around...
It's enclosed apparently, saw one in person, just not the tanks. They are exposed but have electric heating pads to keep them from freezing. Not sure why they are accessible maybe so you can more easily do maintenance? Cool little camper in person though.
I would love one of those but I don't need the outside grill or fridge if not having those will lessen the weight. I'd be curious what the total weight would be with all tanks filled? I will have a new Toyota Tacoma soon and even though it says the towing capacity is 600lbs....I need to make sure. I'm not over that. The less the better.
I have one on order with the package G. I almost bought the 2024 model, so glad I didn't because of the dual axle. The one thing you didn't talk about is this 2025 also has voice control command. This is the trailer for me. Nascar bound. 😂
I'm looking to buy one especially with the new tandem axiles. Just need some storage in the bedroom for clothes. But otherwise, if I can ever sell my Allegro Bus!... I will be buying one of these.😅
It's cute but the uneven upper kitchen cabinets would bug me to no end! Just saying. But love the colors and kitchen layout. Surprised it has an outdoor kitchen too. Thanks for the walk thru Myles 🙂
I'm a huge Geo Pro fan, but I do have a couple of concerns. The 765 lb CCC is very low for a dual axle trailer. I would rather have a dinette in the slide.
just to let everyone know finding this wondering about the duel axel: went to see one in person, very cool small trailer for solo or couples. Rockwood rep happened to be there and confirmed the duel axel is only for the fks. Guess they are just trying it out because people wanted it.
I had a 2019 Rockwood Mini Lite. Quality was pretty good. But, that's relative to RVs. In general, all RVs are pretty poor quality. You'll constantly be repairing little things like screws that missed the micro-sized wall studs, caulking, misaligned hinges/rails/runners/frames/etc., and on and on. All of the upholstery and wall coverings are wafer thin, so durability is another issue. Again, Rockwood is pretty good, but ALL RVs are pretty crappy when compared to residential.
very surprised that a twin axel only has 718 lbs cargo capacity. also the stated dry weight on geo's seems to make them easily towable by many vehicles under a half tun but the loaded hitch weight makes it difficult to tow well. our 19FBS will go about 600lbs at the hitch with water and gear.
Behind what looks like a storage compartment in the nose of the trailer ... immediately to the right of the awning support and directly below the square side kitchen window. 3:39
I think the second sewage drain at the other end of the trailer would be a deal breaker. One location is enough for me (and likely enough for the line-up of RVers waiting behind me at the sani-dump.) I just had to mention. Also, while the addition of tandem axles seems good, the rather low cargo capacity on this tandem axle trailer brings into question the quality and strength of those axles and/or the chassis.
Just watched this after seeing one in person. The CCC is wrong, it's 1200 (which is pretty standard). As for the two drains, I was also put off but apparently there is a black tank flush port, so maybe not too big a deal.
Agree with many of the comments here. Also Rockwood always has the cheapest looking upholstery... lots of potential - need to step it up to stay competitive.
This looks like a good trailer for you, and sometimes brother. I like it, but there is limited space for clothes unless you use that bunk above the queen bed.
Thanks for the review! Overall, a nice RV. But it's not an outdoor kitchen without a sink! Are you sure about the CCC? On a tandem axle trailer? If so, that's pitiful and a deal breaker.
Where is the outdoor storage? I love the storage in front of most trailers that go all the way to the other side. I would rather not have the fridge there.
For a two axle trailer it has it has a very low cargo # and remember the more you add like batteries or fill your propane tanks the more you subtract from your cargo # oh you like to add water to take to your campsite subtract more I am sick of these R-V manufacturers setting up a first timer up for failure and it's not like the salesperson is going to warn you about all that stuff there job is to get it off the lot and you do want the extended warranty right sign here
Double axle is good but why did they not upgrade the weight rating? To only have #700+ of CCC is disappointing. Also fresh water tank is too small. Many of the competitors have gone to 50-55 gal fresh tanks. Also most are enclosed and forced air heated as well as having heat pads. I think they need to rethink the 6’1” sidewalls. Just go to 6’6” like everyone else and have a useable shower. The 6’6” center means you’re not really gaining all that much CdA improvement. The Geo Pros were awesome many years ago but the active lifestyle sector of the market has passed them by. Nice campers, well made but too many compromises.
Ok so they put in double axel. Great but you lose cargo capacity? Losing cargo capacity because of all the wood cabinets in the front kitchen is a deal breaker. Also the lack of storage for clothes is a deal breaker. Unless you convert that top bunk into a storage shelf you would still need storage bins for your items. I’d rather have storage for my clothes than for all my spoons and forks. I’m not as concerned about out the exposed underbelly. We’ve never had any issues with our 2019 model and freezing up here in Canada. The tank heaters work really well. It just means this trailer is not a 4 season trailer and you have to know that when buying. Also an east/west bed layout is immediately a no go for me. Nothing worse that climbing or having someone climb over you in the middle of the night. And even worse is having a kid above you climbing down in the middle of the night. I also don’t understand why the front kitchen is so large? Then to include all that outdoor kitchen stuff doesn’t make sense. I can count on one hand how many times I’ve cooked in my 2019 e-pro and it was only to boil water. Obviously I am not a fan of this floor plan and feel this is a step backwards for the geopro/epro line.
@@dannd715 all very legitimate considerations to point out. I agree that for camping, my family has always done the majority of the cooking outside. The inside space is usually just used to prep stuff for cooking or serving

Towable by several vehicles but that tongue weight empty takes a lot of your payload. If you add gear and water you could be over your gvwr.
I would love one of those but I don't need the outside grill or fridge if not having those will lessen the weight. I'd be curious what the total weight would be with all tanks filled?

Thank you for reviewing this one! Could you please review the new Rockwood Mini Lite 2506FK, as well? I’m super interested in that one!
Thank you!

hey Rockwood: please give us tankless hot water!
I agree how’s it not standard. 🤷🏻♂️
Rockwood can you make exact floor plan with twin beds in rear with the bunk above? Please please
It's cute but the uneven upper kitchen cabinets would bug me to no end! Just saying. But love the colors and kitchen layout. Surprised it has an outdoor kitchen too.
Thanks for the walk thru Myles 🙂
I'm a huge Geo Pro fan, but I do have a couple of concerns.
The 765 lb CCC is very low for a dual axle trailer.
I would rather have a dinette in the slide.
It's actually 1,262 lb, just saw one in person. Pretty cool, but I'm not a fan of dinettes. Take up too much room.
Why is the floor pluwood? It has nice composite walls but a rottable wood floor?
just to let everyone know finding this wondering about the duel axel: went to see one in person, very cool small trailer for solo or couples. Rockwood rep happened to be there and confirmed the duel axel is only for the fks. Guess they are just trying it out because people wanted it.
I’m curious why do the single axle travel trailers only come with a cook top but it seems you can only get a oven in the bigger travel trailers.
Are you able to access the bathroom when the slide is closed? Travel mode..
Yes but it is a bit tight.
Whats the quality of Rockwood like? I am just so reluctant to buy an RV today, there's just so much expensive junk out there today.
I had a 2019 Rockwood Mini Lite. Quality was pretty good. But, that's relative to RVs. In general, all RVs are pretty poor quality. You'll constantly be repairing little things like screws that missed the micro-sized wall studs, caulking, misaligned hinges/rails/runners/frames/etc., and on and on.

Can this unit run ac from battery/inverter only?

Where is the outdoor fridge? You mentioned that but don't see one.
Behind what looks like a storage compartment in the nose of the trailer ... immediately to the right of the awning support and directly below the square side kitchen window. 3:39
Need a sub 20ft tandem axle no slide version. 1000+lbs cargo capacity
What is it with these small water tanks,
I think the second sewage drain at the other end of the trailer would be a deal breaker. One location is enough for me (and likely enough for the line-up of RVers waiting behind me at the sani-dump.) I just had to mention. Also, while the addition of tandem axles seems good, the rather low cargo capacity on this tandem axle trailer brings into question the quality and strength of those axles and/or the chassis.

U Dinette and twin beds Rockwood ! Please please
How do ya adda 2nd axle & ccc stays the same as single...Anywho,nice trailer for $20k...
It was over 1000 with the single axle and 760 with dual? Checked it on the website and it is accurate.
CCC is 1,262 lbs.
Agree with many of the comments here. Also Rockwood always has the cheapest looking upholstery... lots of potential - need to step it up to stay competitive.
I like this one but not crazy about the bed set up.
The shower ceiling is a little low for me being 6'2 But I could live with that. The couch should have storage under it. That is wasted space
This looks like a good trailer for you, and sometimes brother. I like it, but there is limited space for clothes unless you use that bunk above the queen bed.
Very true
Not bad!. I think I`ll go with the KingStar Truck camper instead

They'll slap 3 axles on that brand before they make the bathroom a reasonable size.
Price?
No bumper? Where do you put the stinky slinky?😢
It’s stored in a tube in the underbelly.

Was ready to order until found out under belly exposed. Disappointed
As usual outdoor kitchen has no sink. I need a sink!
How can you add an axle and lose 300 lbs Cargo Capacity. This makes no sense to me and this is a big limitation for this trailer.
CCC is 1,262 lbs.
A real cutie. No, not the trailer.

East West bed is a no for me.
Single axel is so dangerous
High 20,000's? I doubt it will be that low........
You have beautiful teeth! :)
Any trailer with a Murphy bed is the worst!!
That may be, but the good news is that this trailer doesn't have a Murphy bed.
Everything being built in Indiana has been bad quality. It will fall apart going down the road. Sadly to say
Yeah I know from experience lol I still like it though 😂
Ok so they put in double axel. Great but you lose cargo capacity?

765lb CC and dual axle......why???????????????
