We will be retiring in a few years. Love the look of the rpod but want to do some research on common problems. There will only be two of us.We need a large bed and full bath like the 180

Welcome. Most people don't have any big problems - but in general you can expect to experience some smaller issues. This is common across all brands of campers. The industry just doesn't have the same quality control like the auto manufacturers (now) do.

Everyone has their own preferences/needs. My suggestion is that both of you go to a dealer or show or two. Really spend some time sitting and lying on bunks, stand in shower with a fake bar of soap, sit on toilet, stand in front of stove and imagine cooking. I would start there. You could simply spend a few days and nights in your master bath or her walk-in-closet or your child's bedroom to get an idea too.

Bottom line...don't try to imagine the space unless you have experienced it. It's small.

Researching problems should be secondary to deciding if you will be happy and comfortable living in 150 square feet. If you can have fun living in 150 square feet for a few days, most other problems seem to resolve themselves...
