RV review: 2025 Rockwood GeoPro G19DBH travel trailer
Today’s RV review is of the 2025 Rockwood GeoPro G19DBH travel trailer. This is a small single-axle travel trailer designed for overlanding with some surprise features at this price point and a build quality that is an example of how it should be done. But there are also some challenges in this trailer which we’ll get into here.
From the road up in the Rockwood GeoPro G19DBH
Starting at the road the Rockwood GeoPro G19DBH rides on a single axle sporting aggressive off-road style tires that help reinforce the overlanding or off-grid image of this trailer.
As is typical with Rockwood products, this rides on a torsion axle suspension which provides a better ride for the trailer. The more the suspension absorbs road irregularities the less those shocks get translated into the trailer itself which is one of the ways to promote longevity in an RV.
There’s also a built-in tire pressure monitoring system which is an essential safety feature for towable RVs.
Rockwood uses a 5/8” plywood decking for the floor of their RVs. The company laminates their own walls and roofs. The walls feature an human-made substrate in the lamination which is a substance that is waterproof. They also use a higher-quality glue in the lamination process.
The roofs, too, are vacuum laminated which is highly unusual.
We have a video tour of the GeoPro factory here.
At the end of the line the trailers are pressure tested in the plumbing and propane systems and the entire trailer is pressurized and tested for leaks before it is allowed to leave the factory. This always impresses me.
I also like the Lippert Quick Drop stabilizers which proved to really steady the camper even when a few of us were in it - these things are legit.
Sleeping in the Rockwood GeoPro G19DBH
This is a small trailer with no slides but one that can actually sleep five people. The way Rockwood accomplishes this is with a bed in the back and a dinette at the front that can become a bed. There’s also a bunk over the rear bed that could actually accommodate a full-sized adult.
Rather than thinking of sleeping assignments in a traditional way, here’s how I would do it.
The bed in the back of the trailer is 54” X 74” which could accommodate two adults but wait. If you’re camping with a child, for example, perhaps one adult and one child could occupy that lower bed.
The upper berth above this bed is 26” X 80” so that might be the place where the tallest among your crew sleeps.
Up front there is a u-shaped dinette that becomes a 54” X 81” bed which could, again, accommodate two additional adults or two additional children. Or, perhaps, a grandparent and grand child.
Of course this could accommodate two adults on either end but shifting places, depending on your crew, might actually make more sense and could make this little space work out quite well.
Storage in the Rockwood Geopro G19DBH
There is more storage than you might initially notice in this trailer. There are three drawers under the kitchen counter top along with a cabinet and space under the sink. There are two additional drawers under the bed in the back.
Over the dinette are three flip-up cabinet doors which, thank you Rockwood, now stay up on their own.
But the star of the storage show has to be the compartment under the bed that is accessible outside. This is pretty huge. Further, there’s a storage compartment in the front as well and all the exterior doors now feature slam latches. Lastly, all exterior doors are keyed alike so you only have to carry one key and it’s not the infamous RV 751 key that everybody has.
Kitchen in the Rockwood GeoPro G19DBH
There’s a lot to like in how this trailer was packaged and designed but, let’s be honest, the kitchen is pretty small with limited counter space. There is a three-burner propane stove and a small, rectangular sink. The microwave is on the road side above a 12 volt refrigerator. The kitchen is a compromise as it would have to be in a space of this size.
I wouldn’t complain if Rockwood had used the two-burner in-line stove top which takes-up less of the counter space.
However they also include a flat-top propane griddle on the outside of the trailer along with a metal table, both of which slot into a rail. On my own trailer I use the outdoor griddle quite a bit.
Bathroom in the Rockwood GeoPro G19DBH
The bathroom isn’t as tight as you might suspect, but it’s still smaller. However there is a porcelain toilet with enough space to accomplish what you need to and a small sink - some smaller trailers forego the sink. This one does not.
There’s also a small bathtub in here and I’ve been schooled that some people, especially those with very young families, actually like the tub.
This also comes with a high-performance vent fan which can create quite a breeze in the trailer.
Boondocking and travel access in the GeoPro G19DBH
On the subject of that tub this trailer is outfitted with a Shower Miser system which redirects water back into the system when you’re waiting for it to get hot in the shower. This can actually be a significant water savings when camping off the grid.
We have this system in our own trailer and bought a Geyser Shower System to save water even further. We can easily go 10 days off the grid with two showers per day using this combination.
I like that Rockwood still uses a traditional gas-electric tank-style water heater which is what you’d need to make that Geyser system work. I’m still not convinced that tankless is such a great solution in an RV.
This trailer does come with a single 200 watt solar panel and there is a second panel option. Further, you can get this with Rockwood’s Power Package which is a monster off-grid power system.
This trailer doesn’t have a slide so it’s usable all the time including for roadside snack and potty breaks.
We have a bunch of RV boondocking tips here if that’s your style of camping.
Hey Power Pro
Something new for 2025 in the GeoPro line is WFCO’s “Hey Power Pro” system. Essentially if you have Siri or Alexa in your home, that’s what this is but for RVs. It works with the RV’s control panel so you can use voice commands to turn on lights or monitor tank levels.
To my understanding of this system it works completely off the grid and requires no connection to the Internet so if you’re concerned about things listening to you that may be more comforting. Besides, your phone is already doing all the listening you want.
I love technology and new gadgets and that sort of thing but I’m not sure I’m on board with RV-specific tech that is baked into an RV. I like the system in my home that I can upgrade over time without having to trade my whole house in - I wish the RV industry had gone with something that was more universal. For example, incorporating a system that works with your smart phone’s voice assistant and some sort of app.
Quality features in the Rockwood GeoPro G19DBH
Something to note - while many smaller trailers are outfitted cheaply or built more to price, this one is not. For example, you have blackout shades on the windows and they actually put a shade on the door window. These are little touches but ones that show that the Rockwood people aren’t specifying the cheapest thing possible. Further, these little details will matter over time.
Rockwood also builds things like dinette and bed bases out of welded aluminum which makes the both stronger and lighter than traditional wood builds.
I also like the frameless windows where the tinted glass actually helps protect the seals underneath.
Another thing, we recently did an interview with the decision makers at Rockwood which you can see here and there were a number of things worth noting. For example, the plumbing fittings in these has been improved to reduce the chance of leaking.
The team members in the company also make a big difference and, recently, Rockwood celebrated one member of their cabinet shop who’s been with the company since its inception 50 years ago!
Final thoughts about the Rockwood GeoPro G19DBH
I like this trailer a lot, especially what all is packaged into this size. I can see this serving small families and individuals or couples equally well.
I still believe that the caliber of build features in this RV are class leading as well. While this isn’t the cheapest way to go camping, it’s well thought out.
