Thanks for the suggestions. Time to do some bargaining. Looks like we will zero in on the 176T. We have two Labs and feel the lower bunk would be a great spot for them.

That's what I did with my local dealer.  After negotiations they wouldn't go below $14,000 (down from $18k).  Pulled out the printout and immediately they dropped within a few hundred dollars.  I paid around $12,500 with all options.

Welcome.  After you print out a copy of Couch's offer, take it to your local dealer and tell them Couch's is their competition.  Work 'em.  Also replace that mattress based on others suggestions.  Safe Travels.

I reach out to the group for any suggestionsSmile

Thanks

Decide the model you want and get quotes from Couch's.  If you're willing to do a weekend drive that'd be a perfect place to start your search.

I feel like a 6 year old on Christmas Eve. We both grew up camping with tent/pop up campers and can't wait for our first weekend away. I'd love to hear more from campers in Arkansas or Oklahoma and let us know your favorites camping spots. Great forum, we've learned so much

Hi. We are from Kirkland WA and are on our Maiden voyage with our 2014, rPod 177. Not sure I'm posting properly but didn't see any other way to post under an existing topic. My apologies in advance if I'm doing it wrong. So far we are loving our pod. We are at the John Wayne RV park outside of Sequim, WA. We are towing with a Toyota Sienna van. We are grateful for this forum and have already learned much from all of you. I will try to post some pictures. Looking forward to participating in the forum! Erin and Dan


Hi Erin and Dan (and any others in WA),

We're in Kenmore and are shopping for an R-Pod. Would you mind telling us where you bought yours from and how the experience was? Also, if you don't mind, how much under MSRP you paid?

Thanks!
