2013 177 Advice Before Purchase

Barefoot, so much information and all of it is good, as for crawling over the better half, Donna and I have a 172 and we use the dinnet area short queen for sleeping, we got a 4 inch dual foam mattress from sorry (walmart) we love it, it sleeps almost as good as our home bed, we are 60 and I, 63 and yes when Donna gets up, she sleeps at the back of the bed, I move and wait cause, I am next . the Pod for us is a perfect match of cool looking , little I can get it done as good as the big boys, easy pull , has large for its size holding tanks, nice cabinets, functional layout, good price, curb appeal, every body wants a tour, great interior and exterior colors. pretty good interior storage, bath a little tight, what the heck camping is about being outside, hiking, we fish some, its the only time I have seen Donna truly chill and not think she has to be working, cleaning sweeping etc, and last but not least. Its the Cheapest Therapy I have found, I'll have another cold one please.

I had the same thought...all backs are different! Did you keep the sink in the shower? I noted that some folks removed it for more space but I thought sitting down for a shower was fine. My husband definitely will sleep on the outside! And our dog, I expect, will be at the table!

Thanks to everyone who has posted so far! Question: Looks like I will have to crawl over my husband to get out of bed to hit the "lew." Any advice on that? Also does anyone have advice on customizing the bed area...I have to have my water, eye drops etc close by all night long. I've read the posts on mattresses and realize it will not be comfortable so that will be a problem to solve too. Thanks for your help!!!!

Dar first saw the Pods on the Today show, and started to research them.  She was impressed with the small environmental footprint manufacturing the pod made (it is gold certified), and once we saw one in person there was no other camper for us.  My favorite encounter was with a campground neighbor who paked his mamoth trailer next to ours during the night.  He said he laughed at our little pod when he pulled in, then looked it up on the internet.  He said "your trailer has it all in a small package!"  That is what we like about it.  We have taken several two week long trips in it and had fun.  I don't see us going full time in a Pod, but for our trips it is perfect.

I bought my RP176 in October this year. The first time I saw the Rpod, I thought it was "cute," but then I remembered that I don't do "cute." So it became "efficient." Light enough for my Jeep Liberty to tow, had all the amenities I was looking for, and yet compact. Being a single gal with a dog, I didn't need much and I certainly didn't want to deal with a "full-size" trailer. With starting to get too old to do tent camping, I wanted to be comfortable.
