2019 GeoPro 19 FD
Picked up a new 2019 Geo Pro 19 FD for a scooter trailer (as DW calls it.)
no solar panel on roof because I already have a 100 Watt panel at home but I'm trying to find the adaptor for the roof mount.
Also have a couple issues being
1. the rear lower awning arm will not release when opening and I have to retract it until it pops open before I can open it fully
2. unit was listed as having the Furrion DVD CD player built in - it didn't so they are looking at shipping out a DVD player (not sure what unit though)
3. and the red clearance lights flash at a low level light when the 7 pin connector is still plugged into the 3/4 ton.
found it tows well except for the tire which will not hold air and it was refilled at the dealership as well as on the road for the next 4 days home.
taking it in to a local garage and having it resealed and balanced.
Would the light flashing be an issue and if so why?

I would think that you could have a short in the TV wire somewhere. Do you have another trailer to try it on? Because if your other trailer don't flash then I would say it's in the new trailer. Easy test.

I have a 38 foot 5th wheel and never seen this on that trailer but then again I've not looked for it either.
I pick that unit up out of storage tomorrow and will take a look.

Milcop, I have the 2019 too, that is weird you don't have the TV and solar, I thought that was standard. Maybe you had early model 2019, sometimes they update midyear. If you should have the TV, make sure they provide you the mounting arm too. Assuming you have the 12v receptacle and booster on wall where TV is supposed to go. I can measure where my mount is bolted to wall, will be very important you attach in proper spot to hit studs, or that section of wall will not support weight of TV.
BTW, I had to add a tilt mechanism for the TV. If you are seated at the Dinette or laying in bed, the downward angle makes the picture seem very poor. Now that mine can tilt, much better.

NJKris what tilt mechanism did you use for your TV? I have a 2019 EPro 19fd and have been looking for some way to tilt my TV.

early model 2019
got it for about $11,000 less than at home in Canada even after 35% exchange on our dollar.
we picked up a 22 inch wide screen 12 Volt 110 TV for $132 American plus $12.99 for the adaptor and I am interested in finding out what mount you went with as well as your measurement for mounting.
there is a 12 volt plug as well as the 110.
Oh and there is 12 volt plug in space where the TV would go.
The trailer listed the AM FM Blue tooth, DVD and CD unit but it only had the Blue tooth AM FM unit in it.
That's being rectified.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I removed tv from wall at one of the mount arm bolts, because TV was not disengaging from the mount as it should have and I didn't want to damage mount or wall. I then removed existing mount plate from rear of TV, and replaced it with the one that came with the new mount. I then lined up the tilting bracket with the old plate that is connected to the arm, and drilled new holes in the existing arm mounting plate, and bolted the two together using some spare nuts/bolts/and washers. Re-assembled everything, and now my TV tilts when needed.

The TV connects to the crappy Furrion radio via RCA plug cords, and you can play DVD or CD's in the TV and hear it through sound system. By the way, JPCaroll discovered the radio is not even stereo!! What a joke. Going out to measure my attachment point now.

The top right screw on the wall mount is 7.5 inches from ceiling, and 7-1/8" from opening of bathroom door. There are 6 screws all together holding a rather beefy looking wall mount. I don't know what structure they are screwed into, but it must be something substantial, because the paneling is paper thin. The walls is extremely shallow, so short screws would be required, or you are going to penetrate the wall on the bathroom side. The mount that came with the trailer has a 'clip' to secure the TV in transit.

Nice Jenson, but look where your exiting radio is. Not enough width to mount a traditional style radio like that I don't think.
