Hello we just purchased a 2018 rpod 179 and can’t wait to go camping in it. We have 7 month old mini poodle who will be coming along on all our adventures. After enjoying several years of tent camping we decided to venture into the RV world and r-pod seems like a good step up with the features and affordability they offer. Can’t wait to share more pics once we pick it up!

Best,

Jake, Ken, and Pike

Congratulations! We love our 179, and RPods in general. The length allows getting into spaces and onto roads that bigger rigs might have trouble with. Are you leaving tent camping behind? We're not there yet but when the time comes we'll already be used to our comfy Pod. No "awkward" transition Smile

Welcome and Congratulations!

We enjoy our 179. My wife and I have looked at others, but no other small camping trailer has the kitchen counter and storage space the 179 has. That is what really sold us on the 179. I hope you have many fine adventures and make many great memories in doing so with your 179.

We went into the 179 again at the Tampa RV show.  It is hands down the best floor plan IF (and unfortunately a big IF) you do not want a dry bath.

Welcome! Another 179 owner here. We also picked the 179 for the kitchen area, since my wife loves to bake and the convection oven does a great job.

Sounds like a great fit! I have an additional take on it that others might relate to (or that might help others making a choice). I'm not a natural cook (fortunately my guy is much better at it) but we both most prefer to eat at home/our campsite/trailside/picnic site/etc. so I work at it (and don't dislike it, just not great at it). The larger area & counter space of our 179 - and the fact the the kitchen is next to the door - makes me feel less confined and keeps the stress down. This may sound silly but others who don't come to cooking naturally, and who generally do better outside, will relate :-)
