   Hi,
Yeah and what is shipping cost , maybe $4000 plus, or how much does it cost to drive to pick it up.

large tires are an absolute for wash board roads.  in fact the RPOD is not rated for any off road except dirt road which is flat with few ruts or rocks.  The frame and construction won't handle the bouncing and the warranty will be voided.

Decide on the types of road you will use before

	Dan, My quote from Couch's was $13,360. This was for a 177 with everything but the HRE, included the Rdome (I think). But it was in Ohio. I bought a 177 HRE with everything but the Rdome from Blue Dog RV for $14,500. Drove to Idaho to pick it up. About 300+ miles. They do offer a life time warranty and two batteries. My local dealer was at $18K something from $24K something and they were at their best. They wanted to deal with a Rdome or under coating or fabric coating. Salesman stuff. The larger tire are the great. There are a lot more choices in trailer tires with 15 inch rims. I am still not sure if off road tire on the trailer are really that important, but they do look good. I don't think the trailer is going to power me out of something. I also wanted the new TV location. I am originally from Poway.

	Yes, Hood River for sure as I do go off the beaten path, desert roads. Larger tires and lift a real plus. I can buy new 177 for 16,200 at a dealer, have not made and offer, just his rvtrader advertised price. Or, used 177, not seen it with WDH, sway control, upgraded mattress, 2013. $13,500 500 mile round trip drive. Or just saw a near new 2014, private party an 800 mile round trip, with R-dome asking $15,700 too much for me but have not made offer, thinking $14,000 is the most I would go. I do like the convenient solar port and better TV location on the 2014 over the 2013. I will get the wirless prodigy brake controller. Thanks to all those taking the time to chime in.

	ReiMan - I am not aware of what the Hood River package provides but I gather it includes the risers. I DON'T have risers and I encourage you to get them, one way or another. (after purchase from the factory the parts are $150) The clearance on the Rpod is not what it needs to be. adding 4" of clearance would be awesome. I had to remove the factory installed sewer pipe storage unit because even sane driveways would pop the lid off it as it dragged across the ground. My wife cringes as we approach Every driveway entrance. :) (for those reading along, Yes, my hitch height is correct. )

	The Hood River Edition is worth every extra penny, especially if you camp in the mountains and need the extra clearance (as well as larger tires and rock guard).

	What ever traffic will bear. I would guess between $500-$1,000. Safe Travels.

	The Hood River Edition is the one sold in the western states. They are built in Dallas, OR. West coast folks don't have an option to buy without the Hood a River Edition.
