Hi from Virginia.  I am a "Newbie" to Rpods, not so much to camping.  I have been camping in everything large and small to "under the stars" for close to 60 years now.  My last camper was a Aliner Ranger for six years, and it was great.  However, I missed the advantages of a full "travel trailer".  Not wanting the hassle of a really large camper again, I researched all the campers under 3,500lbs I could find.  The Rpod seemed to fit the bill.  I visited the dealer to see the 180 because of the dry bath.  It was perfect!  A week later I was picking up my new camper.  My Escape pulled the Aliner great, and does a pretty good job pulling the RP-180.  Interstate driving will require something about 1,000lbs heavier and with a larger engine.  Until then, I am enjoying my new camper and back roads very much since I picked it up mid-May.  I am retired, camp during the week, frequently dry camp in national parks.  I am camping now at a Corps of Engineers park.  If you are in the central Virginia area, I would love to hear from you.  Again, Hi from Virginia!
