Rpod vs. ALiner vs. T@G A decision has to be made

If you can really exclude the desire for a full bath, I'm not sure you should consider paying for one.  I'm not a little guy.  Not as tall as you, but I agree the bathroom isn't exactly roomy, but it works for me.  For me the ability to take a hot shower anywhere is fantastic after many years of tent camping mostly in the Smokies, but also in other state and national parks often without shower houses, usually even without hookups.  We tend to avoid commercial campgrounds.  I've been known to jump in icy rivers after 2 or 3 days without a shower so the pod is absolutely wonderful.  Getting up to pee in the middle of the night with the bathroom right there is also nicer than you might imagine. 

Being able to pull over, rain or shine, for lunch or just a quick driving break at a rest stop or any little pull-off is great too.  Again, the bathroom is a significant convenience, and access to a full kitchen and dining room with no set up/ take down or crawling is really nice.

The pod is the only camping trailer I've ever pulled so I don't know how it compares to the others regarding gas mileage.  Until I retire, the trips I take involve one or two, maybe 2 and a half days of driving and 4 to 6 or 8 days of "being there".  For the travel days, my gas bill doubles, but those aren't most days.  Probably even on an extended month or 2-month long trip after I retire, most days won't involve towing, so MPGs aren't all that significant to me anyway.  Convenience and creature-comforts are more important to me.

At 6'4 inches tall I would check on bed size fit. The RV bed sizing is smaller. The queen size bed length is 74 inches . I am 72 inches tall and with pillow just fit stretched out. But ,I am constantly rattling the metal blinds which will be changed out. If you sleep in the fetal position all the time you will not have a problem.

While we still owned the Aliner, we went to an RV show with the idea of trading it in and purchasing another Aliner with the wet bath (yes, the bathroom was the main issue). The larger Aliner with toilet actually had less room than our smaller one. We also found out that it was a dump toilet. Just when we had decided to just keep what we had, we went into an Rpod and loved it. The price was the same, it had a bathroom, much much more storage, and although the Aliner was easy to put up and take down, we had to put it up and take it down! We traded in the Aliner and bought it. The difference in the two isn't even comparable. We still love R-pods to this day. That's why we still browse around this forum. Just to let you know, even though we no longer have the Pod, it's still in the family - our son bought it from us, and his young family loves it. Towing the Aliner was easy, but towing the Rpod is too.
