Rockwood Geo Pro Travel Trailer | BRUTALLY Honest Owner Review (16BH)

The Forest River Rockwood Geo Pro 16BH Travel Trailer. It promises low weight, a smaller size, with some premium features like azdel, solar, inverter, and frameless windows. But is it any good? I give a brutally honest review after a year of extensive use. This trailer is towable by small trucks and SUV's. How does it compate to an R-Pod, Grand Design, Lance, Coleman or other towable?

I TRULY did not intend this to be a negative video. However, RV's - in general - are poorly built and often have endless problems. I have to be honest! We do like our Geo Pro and it meets our needs for a lightweight, small travel trailer.

I thought it was a good and honest review. Very realistic. Not negative at all, just honest. It was an indictment of the RV industry rather than the RV itself.

[davidbladen]

Thanks for the honest review. I watch another youtube channel where the lady does a lot of camping. She bought a different brand trailer and has had many of the negative issues that you are experiencing. We need a lemon law that would force the industry to put in some quality workmanship or take back these crappy pieces of junk. DEI is alive and well in this industry these days.. . .

[Tobynsocks]

I just love how the entire RV industry has everyone convinced that they need Goodyear endurance tires. I own a company that we tow two trailers both with double axle full of machines on Westlake tires. Traveling at least 50 to 100 miles a day and have never had a blowout. Want to prevent blowout keep an eye on your tire pressure don't overload your trailer loaded evenly and keep the speed down it's a home on Wheels it shouldn't be going 80 miles an hour.

Great video which highlights what most people are afraid to say. These things are quite poorly constructed using overall cheap materials. I would never buy new from dealer. I bought my trailer a few years old so many mods were done to improve the crappy features and most warranty work was completed as many things break during the first few years. Plus, I saved thousands! 3 years trouble free as of today (knock on wood!)!

"...but we keep buying them, so it must be our fault." Well said.

[midnite]

I don't understand why more owners are honest about how poorly constructed their RVs are. Wish there were more videos like this out there. SMH!

[niteninja]

Love this guy, saying like yeah these things are junk crappy travel trailers. Saying what we all feel about these things

[karenstouffer]

Thank you for your honesty. I wish more owners would do videos like you did.we are looking and are seniors. So we don't want to have to adjust the fridge and fix things that should not brake but will.Having honest reviews helps us in our decision making.Thank you for taking the time to make this well need to know video

[cdnrock]

Great honest video.
I have owned 2 trailers over 14 years, none of which I still own.
I agree with all of your observations.
Was at a dealer yesterday looking at buying another but just couldn't convince myself it was a good idea.
Watching your video just reinforce all the reasons not to waste money again on another piece of junk.
Thank you!

I've binged watched a LOT of RV videos and this one was easily one of the best! Still thinking of getting a RV and this line of RVs was one I was considering. Now I need to watch some of your other content, but thanks for taking time to do this.

The most thorough camper video out; from the dialogue & information to the editing. Perfect-

[daveferret]

my wife and I have enjoyed your videos over the years, you give some great informative reviews that we found useful when we bought our 2021 Lance 1685 trailer. Sorry you had to change to this Geo Pro. However you are showing all the things I continued to observe when we were shopping all the other brands. You are right, the RV industry gets away with sub-par workmanship and design, and while the Lance is better than most, it should be for what they charge. Also as you pointed out, they have some issues too. Enjoyed listening to another honest review.

We've been traveling with this unit for a year so far, and except for a leaking fawcett, the rest of the equipment work wonderful. We are very happy with it. But we understand it has its flaws or not some very good materials, but given its price its ok for us. Thanks for your in depth review, it was important in our decision to buy it. Best.

[cjstrasser]

After 7 different RVs (truck campers, a travel trailers and a 5th wheel), I agree to the substandard construction and quality. I came to my senses and bought a Casita fiberglass TT. MUCH better.

[dikchany]

I wish everyone would just be as honest and truthful about their reviews...because now I know what to expect ...thx well done...

[timsmith]

I really like the layout. Came so close to buying one but I can't do wood. Ended up buying a Casita. It may be small but craftsmanship is second to none and also a bargain price for the quality

[peterbright]

RVs, Boats...you forgot Airplanes! Great video. I converted a cargo trailer using good mattresses, multiple "solar generators", 800 watts of solar on the roof, cassette toilet, induction cooktop, microwave, stainless steel shelving, nets everywhere for storage, a 32" TV and two shore power inlets. I avoided a lot of the problems.

More videos on this channel! I had a Geopro and your review is extremely accurate. I sold it and am planning on getting a new 23 Colorado and am looking for one again and landed back on geopros because of the weight. They are ALL so cheap and expensive though it kills me.

[harryfairman]

Thanks for being honest with us.
I appreciate your time.
