It's about time someone broke out of the browns mode! Referring to the NoBo with it's gray interior. Or what I call "pewter" :-) So much easier to add a variety of accent colors (I sew so this is a thing with me). I realize there are lots of other new features as well with the NoBo but we're so in love with our 179 and I'm fixing the color thing by bringing in more blues. I wished our RPod a Happy Valentine's Day this morning (and to all of you & yours as well!).

Hi, I considered the smallest GeoPro my first choice, but bought a Rpod 171. Considerations were price, size, layout. Being a solo camper, I liked the narrow width, avoiding extra car mirrors, the longer trailer cabin, and the always bed of the 171. I probably would have gone with the GeoPro if I hadn't run across a 171, which were not readily available in my area. Happy camping!

Ron I will stay in touch, will have questions and will be interested in your opinion.

It looks like a dealership near Burlington VT will have some of the NoBo's  going to check and swing up an take a look. It does have a lot of the changes/improvements that I would be looking for.

Everything looks like an R-pod+, including indoor outdoor shower and kitchen sink. One would assume that all the hot water outlets get hot water from somewhere.

Yes, we are starting to plan a trip for 2019, looking to set aside 2 months.
