2019.5 Flagstaff E-Pro 19FD
Howdy!
Our E-Pro is being built and should receive by January 2019.. towing with a 2017 Tacoma.. We plan on camping (mostly dry) locally here in Northern California.. Anyone have theirs already? Just anxious to hear how this little trailer travels.. ANY stories and pictures are appreciated!
Happy Trails!

since you live in California, dry camping is pretty standard, since less than 1% of the state parks campsites have hookups of any kind.

You might have yours sooner than you think if it's actually currently on assembly line! Mine rolled off the line on 10/26/18, and arrived at dealer two days ago in Pennsylvania. I have appointment to pickup on Monday, 11/12/18, I haven't been this excited in a long time, feels like Christmas! BTW, there are plenty of threads involving our unit, just search E pro Geo pro.

The poor guy giving me the walk-through has no idea what's coming. Thanks to this forum, I will be armed with a PDI checklist, flashlight, outlet tester, mechanics creeper and a clipboard while wife films whole thing with our camcorder. Just reminded me, need new chip for camcorder!

Epro19fd
I have a 2017 Epro19.
We love the trailer. Hoever here are some issues you need to be aware of.
1. Initial tires lasted 5000 miles due to excessive inside wear. Had to replace axle which Dexter paid for. I paid to have trailer shop perform alignment analysis which determined axle was mfr problem. With new axle have 10,000 miles and tires still in good shape.
2. The city water connection became very loose, had to put anchors in wall and reattach receptacle.
3. The cabinet shelf beneath counter collapsed. I had to install substantial reinforcing. As built will not hold much weight.
4. I rebuilt front storage lockers to increase storage capacity.
5. Bracket holding sewer pipes at dump valve broke and had to be replaced, Forest River provided under warranty.
6. Bracket on one side of steps broke. I had it welded and strengthened both sides, will not happen again.
7. Sewer hose holding tube is inconveniently recessed beneath trailer, rebuilt so that end of tube is approx at edge of trailer.
8. Dinette on forward side came loose from interior wall. I thru bolted from outside. Problem solved.
As with any trailer, carry a complete tool box, bungee cords and duct tape!

Here are some videos of the Geo Pro, same as our E Pro. They cover it all.

Kayak racks?
Hi folks!
Has anyone figured out a good solid way two carry to 10 foot hardshell kayaks? Looks like the best place might be the back bumper but I’m not sure what weight it can handle…?
Thanks!

There is no back bumper on these trailers. I see you have a Tacoma p/u so in the bed they go.

Ridgekid, what is a 19.5 that you reference in the subject line? Has there been a mid model year upgrade or change?

Yep, E-pro/Geo Pro trailers have no rear bumper.
That's why many dealers order them with the Jack It option.

Not sure why he called it that… It’s just a trailer to us! We hope that we like it so much that it becomes our second home for a good part of the year ! Thanks!!! 🌞

It's listed on the FR website, under Options, as "tongue mount bike rack".
