First tow of travel trailer with 2021 F-150 PowerBoost + ProPower Onboard Generator Test

[Cobraman428]

Just got my 2023 Flagstaff E-PRO 20FBS travel trailer last week and towed it home (30 miles). The TT GVWR is 4400# fully loaded and 3517# UVW, so my PB had no problems towing it. I tested the ProPower and turned on all the appliances and A/C. ProPower did a great job. I can be totally off the grid between the solar and PB. This truck is awesome. Doing some driveway camping to make sure everything is working before hitting the road.

fantastic! exactly what i'm planning on doing with my PB, just looking for the right trailer.
Q: what is that covered power adapter you have there?

It's a surge protector 30amp. I'm sure I didn't need it, but I wanted to be safe the first time I plugged in the TT to the PB.

No more worry about RV reservations a year in advance. You can travel with less required itinerary!
The Powerboost is an RV freedom machine.

That is awesome! I'm jealous of your set-up.

I also recommend considering this:

SoftStartUP – Starting RV A/C Units From Anywhere, With Limited Power

It's a surge protector plus an inline soft start.

This is awesome! I’m waiting on my PB too deliver. I was thinking about the GeoPro TT but I may have to check the E-Pro. I’ve heard all kinds of different things about MSRP and TT. Just out of curiosity what do those go for new?

NICE!!! I've got the meager 2k version on my EB. No TT yet....

GeoPro and E-Pro are basically the same (Interior colors and external graphics are different). Having two brand names help them sell units at two different dealerships. Both are built by Forest River at the plant and by the same people. Check out Josh Winter's youtube channel. He is a great source of information about RV and TTs.

As for MSRP price it will depend on options. I've seen it range from $35k - $48k (with fully solar off grid POWER PACKAGE)
I like the 2023 model year because most of the 2022 options are now standard on the 2023 units. I spent this entire year looking into travel trailers and wanted to make sure I got the correct size and weight TT. I only have 1323 lbs of payload and when I started add up everything People/Cargo/Tongue weight/Fuel I quickly learned I had to scale back by TT size based on weight. These GEOPro and E-PRO are right in the sweet spot my unit is 4400 Lbs fully loaded so that should give me 660 lbs tongue weight at 15%. Hope this helps.

I'll be running mine off grid for most a week at Oshkosh next July.

We've done about a dozen or so nights off-grid in our Grand Desigsn Imagine XLS using the PPOB from our 22 Lariat including an awesome week in the Great Smokies park without hookups. It's magical. Enjoy!

I’m super jealous! I put my travel trailer up for the winter the week before my truck arrived at the dealership.

I’m tempted to pull it back out of storage just to install the trailer camera and TPMS that the truck came with, but life has gotten in the way on every weekend so far.
