Hi everyone,
We are about to pull the plug on a new R-Pod, unless the many comments here about build quality put us off. š We were about to sign a deal on a 2025 R-Pod 180 Hood River/15th Anniversary Edition when a different dealer offered us a 2026 R-Pod 180 Hood River for only $1500 more (Canadian). That second dealer is also much closer, which will make it easier for warranty work. There is scarce information about the 2026 180 on the Forest River website but the dealer said there is a new frame and it is 200 lbs heavier. Since we will be using a light duty pickup, the extra weight is a consideration. Iād appreciate any thoughts on deciding between a 2025 and a 2026.

Given my experience with the box frame on a 2016 RP-179, I would go with the 2026 new model frame. In the long run, it will work out better for you, especially if the frame is I-Beam instead of box.
This may not provide any information beyond what you already have, but it might. Edited by StephenH - Yesterday at 11:21pm |
