Absolutely amazing experience with this RV, slept 6 very comfortably and had fantastic AC and all systems were easy to use/setup. Interior is very cleanly and we will most definitely be booking again for future trips

I had the most incredible experience traveling throughout the Western US and Canada with Andy's Rockwood Geo Pro. The 2022 trailer is in impeccable condition with lots of fun modern features such as a BlueTooth sound system, 3 solar panels, 2 lithium ion batteries, two propane tanks, and an outdoor barbeque. It also has a spring-loaded hitch with multiple sway control mechanisms installed for safety. Weighing only a little over 4,000 pounds with water weight included, it was perfect for my 6 cylinder Jeep Grand Cherokee to haul. The layout of the cabin is very comfortable, with one large bed, two bunk beds, and a table that can convert into a bed if necessary. To top it off, you get to interface with Andy who is one of the kindest and most resourceful people I have met recently. Andy went way beyond the call of duty to make sure my trip was as flawless as possible. From making sure that the trailer was provisioned with all the basic items you need for use, to always being available to take my call when I had questions, to simply sharing stories of adventures on the road, Andy is a true gem and you will love getting to know him!
