Very nice, I've done my research as well and with this trailer, you get more bang for your buck for sure! For me, It came down to the Casita Independence 17 and this Geo Pro 15tb, I have owned Rockwood trailers in the past and am satisfied with their build quality. I am in the process of getting the Geo Pro now. also with your 1000w inverter all your 110 outlets will work when dry camping/boondocking, normally in trailers the 110 plugs don't work unless you are plugged into shore power due to A/C-D/C differences. Thanks again
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.
Oh yeah, I believe it. The trailer manufacturer industry as a whole is rife with shoddy workmanship and quality.. Knock on wood, so far, my trailer has been good. Not saying all are but in my case it has been a pleasant experience....Thanks for commenting...
I totally agree...I haven't been camping yet but it's only me so I think it will do great...I did alot of research before purchasing and this one checked all the boxes especially if you want to camp off grid..
I understand this video is 10 mo old. I am hoping someone keeps checking back on the comments. We also have a Tacoma, would like to hear what kind of actual MPG you all are getting when towing. Thanks!
I have a 2017 Toyota Tacoma 4x4...2.7L four cylinder with manual transmission..I averaged about 14 mpg with the trailer. You most likely have the 6 cylinder automatic transmission so it will be different.
Oh yeah me to with the solar...It comes with 200 watt on roof and it has a hook up to add more ground panels...As many as you want..I found 200 watt panels at harbor t for 168 bucks... You can attached multiple in series or parallel depending what you want....
I just went on my first trip last month, 2 weeks and 3650 miles and I loved it...The RV performed flawless for me. My daughter and her friend are actually taking it out for a little weekend today and I have every confidence she will be able to handle it and enjoy it.
I tow it with a Toyota Tacoma 4x4 with a 2.7 Liter 4 cylinder engine and a manual transmission. My tow rating is 3500 pounds and I pull it fine..Not the fastest in the world but I keep it at 55 to 60 pulling it. I live in northern Illinois and it gets negative 30 to 40 here in the winter and it did just fine. I winterized it and put a cover on it.
Would you share the out the door price for this trailer? My wife and I are looking at buying a 2023 now and don’t want to overpay. Any info Would be great. I read below that you paid 21,700 for this unit. We have not seen any below 25000 here in Connecticut or in Ohio for that matter. What state are you in and what dealer have you that price? Thanks
It was right around 23 grand that's with taxes registration and license. They threw in a 500 dollar weight distribution hitch on the deal too because they had two trailers come on the same delivery so they passed the savings along... House of Camping in Chicago, it's a family owned and run business, George was my salesman...Couldn't have been any better and way less than the corporate guys.
Yeah, I have been looking for awhile at this model and when he quoted me that price I jumped at it,then to give me a weight distribution hitch with it, phenomenal...House of camping in ChicagoHouse of Camping (708) 294-8600 g.co/kgs/WHdjsx
We appreciate the information as we have been very reluctant to overpay. I think time is now on our side and will buy one this summer or early fall. Things should be much better for negotiating. All along kept telling my wife they aren’t worth more than 23k out the door. Thanks again
