Choosing the right Rpod

My wife and I have been going back and forth on which one is the better layout for us. We figured since the R-pod community is so great, maybe we should just ask people who know! 

The wet bath is okay. We have a squeegee to wipe down the two walls that are not covered by the curtain. The back wall and door are covered. The bath is small, but we figured the larger kitchen and the storage there would be of more use to us than a larger bathroom. In any case, a larger bath won't do much good if you are dry camping as 36 gallons of water do not go far. between flushes and kitchen use, you likely won't get but 2 or 3 showers before your fresh water tank runs dry, even with turning the water off while soaping and shampooing.

The kitchen is what sold us on the 179. We figured we could sacrifice on the bathroom. I really can't see trying to work with very limited counter space. The 179 is great as it gives us the room we need. and the storage space to stash the items we want to carry.

This is the 100% most honest best way to decide the best Pod for you.  Find each model you are interested in if you can at a dealer.

All of the above is true, but misses the point - Buy a travel trailer to fit your own needs.

I agree with the sit-in test.  Our 171 was great for camping trips.  We spent most our time outside, even in the rain (under EZ-UPs or rarely under the dome).  For touring trips it was too small for the 10-12 hour stays at truck stops and Walmarts.  If we had a 177 or 179 we probably wouldn't have had to upgrade because of the extra room, but the 177 wasn't even introduced until the week we picked up our 171.
