Well after about 15 years camping in a pop up I think I am ready to move to a smal TT and the R- Pod looks promising. I am looking forward to a little less set up time and being able to load up the camper without having to pop up.
I am in Santa Barbara CA and am interested either a gently used or possibly a new pod. I have been lurking here for a while and have seen lots of pictures on the net but I have yet to set foot in one. Barber RV in Ventura no longer caries the pod and the nearest dealer appears to be RV Spa in Upland CA. There is an RV show in Pamona CA coming up in October, do you think I would get a better deal at a show ? Anyways I just wanted to introduce myself and thak everyone for all the information found on this site.

Hi Dman! My husband and I are following the same path as yourself, although we might be a few steps ahead. Last Sunday we sold our 2000 Coleman Sun Valley tent trailer and yesterday we put a deposit down on a 2014 rPod 178. Our kids are grown and I was tired of the set-up and take down that the tent trailer required. It had served our purposes well, but it was time to move on. We're getting our Pod in Santa Rosa at the Santa Rosa RV Sales. So far we've been happy with our treatment there. We won't be receiving our trailer for another 3 or 4 weeks. We can't wait! Any way, good luck with your search!

I was going to drive to the dealer in Upland this weekend to take a look but i decided the holiday traffic was not worth it. The California RV show is coming in October down in Pomona CA. Might be my chance to actually set foot in an r pod. How much did you end up paying for the 178?.

We haven't written the final check yet, still waiting to pick up the trailer. I believe the trailer without tax and DMV is $17,500.

Welcome. We love our 178. 17500 seems a little high, but maybe its a California demand thing. If you are having to wait 3-4 weeks, demand must be pretty high and therefore the sellers aren't really having to deal much.

I emailed Couchs RV last week. They quoted $13,949 + $2850 to deliver to CA. That $16,799. The local quote was for a Hood River edition, I assume Couchs was not. It seems pretty close. The people at Couchs were very helpfull, wish I could buy from them and not worry about delivery charges. Maybe i need to go on a road trip

I should think a person could drive to Ohio and back for a bit less than $3200..
