I haven't been on the forest River web site in a LONG time but you may want to go there and look at the floor plans. Just remember a slid out and a pop out are 2 different things. A slide out doesn't pop and a pop out doesn't slide!

Welcome back to the forum! We are two women and a dog travelling in a 171, and we are very happy with it. Looked at the same floorplan with a slideout, which makes it a bit more spacious, but did not want the potential of problems with a slideout or the extra weight. Surely you will find a plan to fit your needs and wishes. The forum has lots of great ideas and many people willing to answer questions and give help with technical stuff. Good Hunting!!

Welcome back! They've added a few more floorplans than when you were last looking (if it was a couple years ago). They now have 3 models that have pop outs, they weigh a little more but still very light weight (about 500lbs heavier than the plan w/o the pop out). The pop outs will give you an extra couple feet width in the center and just makes it look bigger when you're inside.
They also have a couple new models that have a tent pop out in the back for an extra bed. They call them Expandables. Check out their floor plans: Happy R-Pod hunting :)

Good morning.. I was one of the first members a couple of years ago when I was hoping to purchase an R-Pod. At the time I drove a Forester and the dealer, in very admirable honesty, advised me that the tow limit was too close and he felt not safe for me (woman alone). So I bought a 13' Scamp which is a great little trailer but I find it too small. I now have a larger car and am planning to sell the Scamp and move up to the Pod. I have joined this group again so that I can find out which model to choose and what the pros and cons are. I think I will head up to Connecticut tomorrow to a local dealer there who carries the Pod and just look around until I sell the Scamp. I will keep an eye out for Pods in this area but have not seen any on the roads this summer.
