Went to a local dealer's exhibition this evening.  Saw a Palomino Real Lite, made by Forest River.  Deja vu all over again.  It looks like an RPod, same vanilla colour, same layout as a 171 except no bathroom.  It had a dropped floor in the interior.  Eight feet wide or thereabouts.  Forest River is copying its own models?

Not copying, it's obviously for a different target market with no bath an the step down floor..

Do you mean the palo mini?  I must admit there are a few really great floor plans that I really like even more than the r-pod.  The lack of an r-dome would be a deal breaker for me though.

I think the Real Lite is their truck topper series.

Went to the dealer website.  It is a Real Lite Mini 13D.  The site displayed interior pictures not exterior.  I don't know how to post my pics yet.  The roof is flatter but low, necessitating the sunken floor inside.  There was no awning rail on the passenger side but it had a rain gutter.  The rather rugged looking wheels are mounted under the body.  Dry weight was 2105 lbs.

looks like they are going after the T@B market.
