Has anyone on the forum ever used this dealer? Want to provide any feedback. I noticed no one seems to mention the price they paid for their pod. It it against the forum rules or just uncouth? I sure would like to know what others are spending for a 178 before I start visiting dealers. |

Oh yeah, lots of prices have been posted. We got our 171 four years ago for about $12,500 in PA. I got a quote the other day for a 178 for the same price, somewhere else.

Thanks Lefty, that helps. The best advertised price I have seen in Souther California is $17, 500 for a hood river edition. I am thinking I should be ale to get them to come down some or maybe wait for the RV show in October for a better deal. |

I am almost sure there have been a couple threads on price paid. We paid right at $13k fully loaded. Friend just signed a contract for a fully loaded '14 model 177 for around $13.6k

We got our 171 last fall for just over $12k, fully loaded and with many extras already included (like axle risers). ------------- P & M ... and Comet too! 2012 171 -- The Monkey Pod 2018 Ram 2500 |

Adding this post to this thread as it's specific to RV Spa of Upland CA: $16,900 was the best price I could get in Upland CA on a 178 from the excessively up-tight sales lady. Would not budge an inch on the “price today” despite wanting to also get the R-Dome, batteries, LP Tank, and other randoms that go with a first purchase. Upland CA and Temecula RPOD dealers are the same owner, btw. Found on on RVTrader.com all setup and ready to go for $15,000 - Felt like both sides did well enough on this price. This statement assumes I could not go pick one up in Texas or NC and hadn't the imagination to think of having it shipped to me. (Dammit!) Good Luck. ------------- PB & J 2013 178 RPod behind a 2010 Tacoma TRD |

Hi, a new user to the forum, but had to comment on our purchase. We purchased a 2014, 178 here in Wisconsin last December for $14,500, with a dome, risers, crown package, etc. Tax, title and license brought that up some. Will be picking it up from under a snowbank/ice pack on the 5th of April. Feel we got a pretty good deal from the sticker of $22,000 and the dealer was only 3 miles from home. Did use leverage from a dealer in Illinois to help get the price down. Looking forward to getting "on the road again"! Dave ------------- Dave & Jeanne 2014 178 Aye-Pod 2007 Trailblazer |

I bought a 182g at Santa Rosa RV (California) for $25000. Could have gone a little further haggling but wasn't in the mood.

I priced our pod in 2011 from that dealer. They had a pod similar to the one we bought at the Door County store. I did better in Sheboygan. When I scraped off the stabilizer jack I tried to get a replacement in the Fox Valley and was treated very poorly. I hope they were just having a bad day but their parts and service folks drove me away from them. I hope it is better for folks that buy from them. ------------- Keith-N-Dar Boris & Betty (Boston Terriers) 2011 R-Pod 177 2010 Ford F-150 |

I think we paid about 13.5k last spring for our 178 in Ohio. I was about 3500-4000 cheaper than CA prices (sac, gilroy) and was actually available. We had the time and made an adventure out of picking it up. Even with travel expenses, it was cheaper to buy it there. Not an HRE, but we added the risers.

I just bought a 177 for $14,500 in Idaho. I drove 483 miles (round trip) and got a better deal than I could get here in Western Washington. It may pay to drive a little and camp on the way back.
