We first saw the Geo Pro G19RD in September at GiantRV in Temecula, along with other small trailers like the Kodiak Cub & Jaybird. We weren’t ready to buy just yet, trying to decide if we’d prefer a teardrop like the Tab 400 or Little Guy Max. After shopping around, we decided the slightly larger G19RD weight & floorplan met our ‘sweet spot’. But by October, there were none available locally. We drove to Arizona to find one or something comparable but again no luck. Fortunately, one arrived at RV Solutions San Diego Oct 29th. We did a walk-through and put a deposit down immediately. RV Solutions agreed to our “out-the-door” price (~$3k below MSRP). We could have bought it much cheaper by ordering online from a wholesalers out of state. But after hearing new owners wanting to replace the 110v fridge and plastic toilet on the latest inventory. We are happy getting what we wanted by paying the SoCal low inventory “Covid-premium”. We picked Howie up on Nov 12th, going through the new rv-owner orientation. We could have picked it up earlier but we needed to arrange storage since we have a HOA that forbids RV storage at home. Plus we added RV insurance to our USAA auto insurance with a Nov 12 start date.
We towed it early Thursday afternoon to beat the rush hour – towing a TT for the first time through SoCal traffic at rush hour is something we didn’t want to do. Rush hour traffic hasn’t been bad since Covid has people working from home but why chance it. RV Solutions installed our weight-distribution hitch as part of our agreement & overall price. We had the hitch & brake controller already. We towed it home 33mi without any problems and were able to park it curbside next to our house. We outfitted it with rear-view camera, food, clothes, dog supplies, and necessities.
