    Love my current and second travel trailer. We moved up in automation and amenities versus our first tt.

    Seemed like every time we went camping it would rain and everyone around us was dry in a hard sided rv. Started off by buying a very light and basic single axle tt but had a wet bathroom and a/c and a queen size mattress.
    What we learned:
    - basic rv functions
    - hitching up and towing
    - packing necessities
    - parking a single axle trailer whoa!

    Long story short just get one and take it to your favorite spots. You’ll love it.

    What’s the big difference between the E Pro vs Geo Pro? I was on the forest river site comparing the G19FD VS E19FD, what am I missing here?

    I asked the same question and was informed that its similar to Chevy vs GMC. Basically, just badging and a sticker package.

    I gotcha, good analogy, btw I never understood why GM keeps producing both Chevy and GMC trucks, but each to own.

    I have had it in some tight spots but nothing too crazy. Mostly dirt logging roads to camp sites. It's 19ft long and a little over 3000# dry.

    The Tacoma pulls it fine. I had to regear because on the tire size and a supercharger on order. I also went with a heaver leaf spring and airbags to accommodate the weight. The only time it feels like it moves the truck is when a semi blows past me.

    Dont think he's looking for a toy hauler. And I think he may want a few more windows lol

    Oh and I'm pretty sure he said "off road" but thanks for the picture :thumbsup:

    This...I had one of these for 11 years and did the same type of off road camping you speak of and it worked great. Took it down many a somewhat sketchy trails with no problem. And pretty much all the creature comforts you need. Can't go wrong with one of these OP

    No Bo 10.5 is the non-toy hauler variety but otherwise the same. I doubt I'll use mine as a toy hauler much at all, but I fancied having a big opening (it has a net you can put up to keep the critters out) so I can view the scenery during those few good weather days we get in Texas. Also, with very minor upgrades, the door can become a nice platform/table.

    I've got my 10.5 on order. I wanted the tiny bit of extra storage and figured I'd absolutely never have a need to haul anything inside it.

    I took a Coleman cts15bh expedition model, did a 6 1/2" SOA lift and tow all the comforts of home through 11 different states. It's just a base camp, great place to come back to after a full day of wheeling.
