Soon to be r-pod owner

Hello everyone my name is Kaye and we are looking at trading our current travel trailer to an r-pod. We are a family of four , me my husband and our 2 kids ages 8 and 3 . Our 3 yr old still sleeps with us (**embarrassed**) . Was wondering if you all could give me an input on the rpod 180 ? Thinking of just bringing a folding camping cot for the other kid whoever wants to sleep on the dinette when the time comes that my 3 yr old is ready . I was originally wanting either the 189 or 190 but the dealer closest to us has the 180 and states that a lot of times the 189 and 190 are ordered already by buyers before they even reach the lot .

Karen, you would probably be much happier with a bunkhouse trailer.  There are plenty in the market. If you wait until around November you will find a good selection at much better prices as dealers try to clear out their inventory before the doldrums of winter.  The bunkhouse trailers are set up for 4 (not counting the dinette, which is a hassle) and you will find it much more comfortable.  There are bunkhouse trailers in the 22' range and in the same weight class as many of the rPods.    If you prefer a FR product, the Sonoma 1670BH and the 1971BH both ones you may want to consider.

All of the above is good advice in a normal, typical, RV market...but...the RV market is not 'normal' right now. There might not be any 'clearance sales' or bargains to be had.

In southern/warmer climates where the camping season is much longer, or never stops, the market stays more active during the winter and big price reductions may not be as common, but in the colder climates, the market tends to be more seasonal.  In warmer climates, the market is driven more by supply as demand tends to be relatively constant, while in the north demand may fluctuate more seasonally, leaving dealers with excess inventory.  

Quartzsite is a long ways from WA. We didn't see any 'deals' there on travel trailers we were looking for. BUT there were some great deals on accessories and installations.
