Cool, nice set-up...looks good! When do we get to see a pick with the tent deployed?

The dinette is not at all useless while the tent is stowed. Space is degraded a bit but we pull over and use the dinette all the time for quick lunches. When the weather is good we put the table outside and deploy the bed and the space inside is awesome. I've have even taken a quick cat nap on the lowered table on the dinette while the tent is stowed, slept great. I will post a few picks from this last few weekends. |

Thanks for the post. I figured as much. We have been looking at so many different models hard to remember which is which. Since we're moving up from a tent whatever we get will seem like luxury. Just today someone was telling me that " you have to have tandem axels. That rpod will bounce all over" jeeze.

Well, I just towed my 178 for 1,200 miles over two days and it was solid at a rock, no issues whatsoever. I hit some very rough road on this trip and I was also concerned about bouncing and how the POD would take it. The torsion axle really does a very good job of taking the bumps. It's all about having a good setup. Enjoy, it's fun shopping and vetting and then deciding, take your time. Don't rush it...you'll make the right decision for you...when everything feels right. |

The pod is the most comfortable trailer I've ever towed. Over 15,000 miles on ours and no bouncing, ever.

this is the dinette up with the tent closed. the white hanging from the top of the pic is a bit of the tent. Its right there but the dinette is far from unusable |

Nice Setup...I don't see many with this color scheme and graphic set...really nice. You've got the slide, outside shower, deploy-able tent, man...it's like a transformer!

Thanks alot!!
We looked at a lot of campers before buying the Rpod, spent almost a year looking. If I had a bit bigger of an engine in my nissan I would have gone with the Livin lite by Camp lite but the Rpod is not at all letting us down, we love it!!! |
