E-Pro, No- Bo or Wolf Pup

Hello all. Wondering if anyone out there has had any experience or has an E-Pro, No- Bo and or Wolf Pup. Looking to buy either of these. Planning on getting one that its no longer, front to back, 22ft. Looking at a few models range between 16 and 19 ft.

Have a C Class now. High demand for it. Almost getting what I paid for it. Retiring soon so downgrading. Looking for a small travel trailer. If you all have better suggestions from the ones I have listed. Please feel free to let me know.

Have a great day all.

I like my G19FD. 20'. Box is 17.5'. No slideouts on mine, so not as roomy as you are accustomed to, but then again, less weight, less to break, and less money. Tows great with my F150 and e2 WDH. It is GeoPro, same as the Epro.

Bikendan, TV 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 WT2. I had installed a hitch after I bought. Since it did not come with one. Also, according to the truck's specs. It show it can tow upto 6000lbs

we love our 17RP. about 21-22 feet from bumper to tongue. GVWR of around 5500 lbs. no slides to mess with and you can open the ramp door at the back when the weather is nice!! tows great with no weight distribution (has sway bar) and we average 11-12 mpg behind our 09 F150.

NJKris nailed it. not as roomy, less to break and maintain.

You need the full factory tow package to have that tow rating.
Just adding a hitch receiver isn't enough. What about the brake controller, 7-pin connector, auxiliary transmission cooler?

And no leaks! Seems like I'm always reading threads about leaking slides on this forum.

We have an e-Pro 19 foot with the murphy bed (G19FD). With a few tweaks we added, it is as close to a perfect solution for 2 as I can imagine:
- comfortable bed
- don't have to crawl over anyone for a bathroom break
- when the bed goes up (which takes 30 seconds), there is tons of daytime space
- exactly the amount of storage space we need for extended trips
- tows like a dream
- only 7 feet wide, so it has less frontal exposure meaning significantly less wind resistance and easier to get into smaller spots
- well built. Solid frame. Premium construction throughout.





My tweaks:
- added 400 watts solar
- reading lights on both sides of the bed https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B08...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
- replaced that too-big flip up shelf by the sink with a smaller cutting board
- anchored the table to the wall to stabilize it https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
- added a 30 amp DC plug to facilitate running a 200 watt inverter for a slow cooker.
- added 4" to the outdoor BBQ shelf so that it is actually wide enough to hold a BBQ.


The only downside is the galley is too narrow for 2 hienies. Wish they had a variant with the murphy bed plus a slide...

Kris,
I have camped in some heavy downpours and never a leak on my epro 19fbs. Not one issue with the slide. Heading out for 4 days camping in Delaware Nat'l forest with predicted thunder storms 3 out of those 4 days. No worries here, plus you have way more room with the slide and no flipping a bed up and down. Just my 2 cents.
Tom

But your bed requires someone to crawl over someone to get up for a pee. I would probably crush my poor wife to death! Can't deal with an east-west bed. The geo/e pro slide is so small, maybe that makes it more reliable. All the tales of woe seem to be big slide guys.

We got that dance move perfected. We just say, "comin' through!" and that means dance to the front of trailer to let the other person through. We also say 'ok to come out?' When in the bathroom and you need to open door to get out. Don't want to risk putting a gouge in the nice fake SS fridge trim if the fridge door is open while opening bathroom door. Wife use to be waitress in her younger years and taught me to say, 'behind you!' when passing behind someone so the other person doesn't turn right into the person behind them and dump hot coffee or whatever on them.

Also suggest Surveyor 19BHLE if your budget allows.
