1. Single color fabrics or slight texture. Think European influnces - Audi or BMW.
2. Cupboard faces other than grained woods. 3. Drawer and cabinets fronts simplified - maybe something shaker style 4. Windows front and rear. Open the unit up. 5. Skylight option. 6. Enclosed propane tanks - a cover of some type 7. Subdued exterior graphics. 8. Exterior color choices Trailers seem and some boats seem to have a decor that reminds me of the 70's. This trailer has good bones but could use some contemporary touches. |

Forest River tried white cabinets for the first few years and then dropped them, I don't think that they went over very well. We had the chance to order white cabinets when we ordered our POD but that was not for us. Goose ------------- Mother Goose's Caboose..2011 RP171..07 Grand Cherokee

What really brought us into the whole idea of a travel trailer was seeing a t@b in our local mall. It was just so stylish and cute. The more we thought about it, the more we wanted to do it so we kept on going back to the mall and leaving our fingerprints all over the exterior of the t@b before going to our local dealer and looking at a few models. Then we found the r-pod that had actual tanks we could dry camp with. But still, we love the clean interior style of the original t@bs and that of the Airstreams. The white cupboards offered for the r-pod, while visually brightening the interior, felt a bit too ...domestic. Isn't the whole point of camping to get away from the clutter of home? Lighter coloured woods seems to be a nice compromise. ------------- ChaiPod 2009 RP152 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe 3.5L V6 |

Our 2011 RP-172 has the circular graphics (starting to peel) and we get constant ooohhhs and ahhhhs from people walking by at camp grounds. Its not uncommon to give multiple tours as most people like the eclectic look of the Pod. Now comes the " you can stand up in it " or " it has nicer cabinets than our house. (ours has the cherry veneer " and then ther it has a Microwave and a convection oven and a little flat screen t.v. I think the best one I heard was from a fellow that had a 37 foot diesel pusher and he said " it has everything we have but just in a smaller package " You gotta love the Pod. ------------- Dane and Donna Smith 2011 RP-172 2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer 4X4 lift kit prodigy wireless brake controller |
