Rpod camper, I am with you, I got an email from Bigdaddys rv in London Ky, they offered me $5000 on our rpod still under warranty toward their RP-181G for $15200, I think that is a good price on their 181G, but Our paid for RP-172 looks really good all of the sudden. What the heck, it takes 5 minutes to change the dinette to the short queen, and with the double foam mattress ( I keep it rolled up and on the top bunk) so what, we are out there to slow down, enjoy the country and to relax. Sorry Bigdadys rv in london Ky go fish. We are keeping our paid for sweet, eclectic , hippie looking, sun fun lovin, we are heading out, I love the sound of the wind through the pines, and cooking outside, and no phone ringing PAID FOR RP-172

I was thinking that if we traded up to a 18* series, we would still probably do some mods to the garage area along these lines:

I have toyed with the idea of several times of trading or upgrading out 2009 Rpod 171 to something different but each time stepped back from it. The camper we have works for us and is paid for. Sure it would be nice if it had this or that but I know if I was to make the move now something would come out next week that I would look at and say I wish ours had that also so the ugly trading woiuld begin again. Plus my better half would throw me out to the dog house. You need to look at what works best for you.

Some have installed this in the door. It looks easy and I think the style of the round window matches the shape of the rpod very well:
I have been watching this product for a while, now and I noticed today that the price came down from around $65 to $40 shipped. I am definitely pulling the trigger.

Our 172 actually has 3 windows in the rear dinette, queen area, one on the back and 2 on the sides, I wish there was one in the door, I might put a peep hole in there, I am starting to change my mind about trading for a 181g, I like the floor plan but Donna said something about if you think you are trading my pod there may be an object broken off in an area where you set down. I don't think she was talking about the couch.

We were really excited when the 18* series came out too but then realized that we would have to give up the back window we currently have in our 152. We've come to really love the view out of the back window of our 152 as we've found some really scenic campsites that back onto lakes and gorges over the past year. Having our morning coffee and tea in bed whilst looking at the view is one of our favourite things to do while 'podding.
We also sleep on the dinette (one of our mods was to make it into a quasi Full-sized bed) and have kept it in bed-mode for all of the 2011 season. Our planned mod is to do loosen the upper bunk and enable it to lift up so we can either have some seating on the lower bunk or even a mini-dinette. How much you use the garage feature depends on where you camp and how you camp (and how your grandkids camp)
