You are more than welcome.  I actually read all the posts in the Forums before I decided on the R-Pod I bought.  There is a lot of reading and information here, but sometimes I just want to look at a particular model floor plan that is being discussed.  That is when I refer to Roaming Times.

If anyone is interested in reviews, specifications and floor plans for the R-Pod model years 2009, 2010 and 2011, they are already available on the Roaming Times web site.  I referred to this site often before deciding on my used 2010 173.

I think it would be very interesting and also quite helpful when buying a used r-pod, which we did.  It would be helpful in deciding whether a new one with newer features, or a used one would suffice.

For what it's worth, that retrospective could be invaluable for someone who's looking at the possibility of buying a used Pod.

If anyone has any info they would like to contribute including pdf files, I can start compiling the info and make binders as we go.  Luckily the r.pod pamphlet we have survived Sandy :) 

Yes, 2009 was the first model year.

I will look to see what information I have from 2008.  I gather all kinds of data before ordering and receiving my r-pod.  I have an early 2009 model with the white cabnets that less than 5% of all rpods came with.  Yes we ordered the r-pod in that way and waited 3 months for it.
