Some campers are 20 feet long with all the amenities and cost $12,000 dollars. Other 20 foot campers might not even have all amenities, and cost $25,000 or more. I am on my second R-pod, though I only kept my first pod just over 2 years due to going a little bigger. I've definitely had a few times I've thought " You seriously couldn't have spent another .50 cents and made that better?" The black tank hanger being a great example of that. But over all I am and have been happy with both units. You have to get used to R.V. thinking. Things will break, leak, need tightening, replacing, etc. Always look for it, before it looks for you, and take care of it right away. I think you will be happy with your pod. 

When we replaced our Pod with the Sonoma, we considered both new and used trailers, but found that a one or two year old trailer really wasn't that much cheaper in the late fall/early winter when we were looking.  When you add the distances to go look at the used trailers and the potential for chasing wild geese, it isn't necessarily less costly to buy used.  Each individual situation is a little different and requires a tailored approach for the circumstances.  It really is a function of what the market is like in your area.  The main thing is to pick a trailer that will meet your desires and anticipated needs.  

When you compare a smaller r-pod side by side with a Tab400...no comparison..but the Tab costs twice what the R-pod costs. For the $15,000 (or more) difference in price, I can fix a lot of stuff!
