KYMooses......Have you heard of a town called Gatliff, KY? It is a "fly speck" on the map - just North and East of Jellico, TN. That's where my folks are from. My sister was born in Jellico. Had I come a little sooner, I would have been also. As it is, I'm a Hoosier, but raised "hillbilly".

Damour...your "english" is probably better than mine! If you really want to get confused, here is how a "hillbilly" would explain:
The "saler" is the feller who done sode ye yer trailer. The "Dealer" is the feller who that otha feller works fer. What ye call em depends on how ye feel about whut kinda deal they gave ye.

LOL, I actually had something relevant to post then read that and laughed and then lost my train of thought. I consider myself very fluent in "drunken farmer redneck" myself!

I thank you also, Diane. My first language is "hillbilly", so I'm learning also!

Note: the fridges in the 'pods and in most campers do NOT have compressors like a home fridge. They run using a much older technology which uses ammonia and heat, which runs completely silent. However, the 'pod also has two 12 volt exhaust fans in the back which are thermostatically controlled, which do make some noise when they come on. In colder weather they don't come on, in warmer weather they will.

Damour, you are right, and you are doing a great job figuring out the correct English to use.
Dealer and saler are the same thing. Except you would say "seller" instead of saler. A seller is anyone who "sells" something - think of Ebay . But the reason "dealer" is a better word in this case because this "seller" actually owns a business.
Using the word "saler" was a very good guess because anytime you "sell" (verb) something, then you just made a "sale" (noun). A "sale" is the event in which a seller sells something to a buyer.
Let's just say your English is much better than my French!
Au Revoir!
Diane

We are towing with a 2011 Toyota Tacoma 4 Door, short bed. 6 cyl, standard trans. Pulls the T@B like it's not even there so I am hoping the experience with an R-Pod will be similar.

I would say exactly the same .
I spend 4 hours at the dealer to compare the 2 models.
At first I went there to buy the 177 not knowing the 171 .
And at the end .. the 171 was better for us.
Even if the slide out was attractive at first.
But I had the chance to see both side to side.
*** question : the words dealer .. and saler .. does it mean the same thing ?
If I talk about the place that I bought my trailer .
Thank you

The strange thing about my 172 is that it appears so much larger on the inside than it does on the outside, which is what Forest River seems to do with all their Pod layouts. It really is amazing to me. There is so much storage space on the inside that I have all the room I need for all of my stuff, then some. I started out wanting the slide out, but like the set up of the 172 better. The only thing I wish my Pod had was a window behind the kitchen counter. Right now, I use the shower vent and fan to vent the hot air off the cooking burners and it seems to being doing very well, however, it would have been nice to have the window option so that I could have hung a hanging plant under the cabinets. All in all, I am very happy with my purchase. Either way, my advice to you would be to spend a little time in both models and see which one serves your purpose more completely.
