I like the 196 design Zune’s did, that would be perfect for us!! Maybe if you could add some rod carriers

   Will the new 195 design have a fiberglass roof? Or will it have a TPO roof?

No Pod has been built yet with a TPO roof, so we can at least guess that it will be fiberglass.. But in my view.. just buy a Surveyor.. they already have a floor plan close to this available.

The 196 or the Murphy bed would make this one a winner.

Forest River had one on display at the 10th Anniversary R-Pod Rally held at this year's Kentucky MiniMini.

I would highly prefer the proposed 196 with couch instead of dinette.

The problem is that the 196 is a user's idea of what would be a great floor plan. It is not a Forest River floor plan. I would like at least some drawings of what the 195 would look like at this point. There have to be some sketches at least that FR could release showing the concept with the understanding that the final product may not match entirely the concept. I'm not talking about blueprints, just artist sketches.

Food for thought...So the current width of the pods with a 74" bed would mean the 195 would only have 7" each side of the walk-around queen bed (60"x74") if I have my measurements correct. If not, we may be seeing a wider body model? I also would like to see a twin model 195. The 191 twin has the wet bath, where this would have the full bath and looks to be able to accommodate twins with the room for the walk-around queen. Not seeing how this could all be accommodated without pushing out the width and maybe even the length a bit. So then weight may have to increase. Lots of questions. JM
