Forest River Geo Pro

[DeadGrandpa]

Based on two criteria, which are the external height and the gvwr (my Tundra can tow with ease and it will fit in my RV garage), I am considering both the Geo Pro and the Rockwood E Pro. I guess they are new models. I see a few YouTube videos featuring couples camping in them, at least one couple allegedly full timing. They are really lightweight but check many compromise boxes for me. I know lightweight generally means low quality, but does anyone have personal experience with these minimalist campers?

We’re at a similar decision making point and frustrated at how difficult researching these TT can be. I mean, I just want to be a headlight on a northbound trailer! Anyway, I just saw there’s finally a FB group for them. I’m awaiting acceptance to join. Hope that helps your researching! So many roads..

I solved the issue by going in another direction. I came across a mention of Camplite travel trailers made by LivinLite. They are all aluminum frame and chassis, with composite floors, walls and roof. No wood anywhere except for the cabinet doors. Even the roof and outer skin is aluminum on my 2015 model. I read that Thor Industries bought the company and shut down production, but I can't verify that is true. The LivinLite website still functions, and there is a "factory tour" photo group that sold me on the quality. A search on rvtrader.com found only used models for sale. I like mine.

Unfortunately I’m way down in south Louisiana, so there aren’t Camplites, Lances, or ORVs anywhere near me. Enjoy!

Have a look at the Coachmen Apex Nano 203rbk.
23 ft including tonque.
I am close to buying this as it to is all Azdel composite and no wood except cupboards and plywood under seat cushions.
It has a nifty fold down bench seat that turns into a queen bed and is super easy to operate or a queen bed in place.
Only weights 3800 lbs. Nice shower and outside kitchen with a fridge. Also a big fridge inside. Dual axels.power awning and much more. Great price as well.
The quality I think is fantastic.
On YouTube there is a whole rundown buy an RV dealer that starts with a H. He does a great job of it.

What are thoughts on the No Boundaries 19.5, no Murphy beds but I like the toughness it appears to have.

We just purchased the e-pro 19BH, and love it. Tows great with our SUV and I don't have to contend with the murphy bed and have a full shower/tub. Aluminum framed cabinets as well and bunk beds for grandkids. It suits our needs perfectly. A sweet little trailer with many upgrades.

Yeah, we went with the Geo Pro 19QB and love it so far. My heart still flutters when I see a Lance, but we’re very happy with ours.

We just returned from a trip to the mountains in our 2020 19HB E-pro. We love this camper! Pulls so easily and the bunk beds are a plus for us! We have no children but do have 3 small dogs. lower bunk is perfect for dog kennels. We researched for over a year and looked all over Texas. We researched owners forums and read numerous horror stories. We have owned Forest River products in the past and had no issues and decided to stick with what we knew! Camper is well built with aluminum framed cabinets. We reinforced drawers and glued every seam with wood glue and also went through the camper and tightened all screws and bolts inside and out before taking the camper on the road. We will install a bumper and do a few other small projects but overall we love our little camper!

My wife and I researched just about every rv made and settled on the Geo Pro. It suits us well and we are just getting it set up. Bought it about a month ago and couldn't be happier. We were previously Class C rv owners and the issues mechanically with the E450 were too common and expensive to be fun anymore. I can pull this rig easily with my Tundra.

If you’re not already, the E Pro/Geo Pro fb group is pretty great!

Have been researching these for months and am 90% convinced these may be 'the one' (Pro 19FB in either flavor Rockwood / Forest River, same thing).
To any existing owner....have you ever tried access to the spare tire that seems to be mounted to the belly of the trailer frame, in the vicinity of the entry door?
Is there some kind of hoist / cable to let the tire down or anything other than crawling under there on your back to bench press this tire to make use of it?
I can find nothing in any video, online owner manual, etc to show / explain how the spare tire is accessed.
Any ideas?

I'm looking at purchasing a 2020 E-PRO 19BH, and I was wondering if you are still loving the one you've had a few years now. Had any problems so far?
