My family and I are looking at buying a 171 but are a little confused about the pricing. I got a quote from RV nation for 11,800 + 900 shipping if we don't pick it up. Our local dealer was at 15 + without extras like ac and microwave. I guess my question is those that have bought from Jeff Couch, what was the experience like, would you do it again ... ? Also if you did buy from him, have you had to take your r-pod to a local dealer for any service or warranty work and what was that like ? I'm going to go back to our local dealer today and see how much better he can do on the price.
So excited to get a pod. |

Welcome! Trust me, your local dealer can match it. My dealer came within a few hundred bucks, still fully loaded.

Techntrek is correct, if Jeff Couch can sell it for that price, so can you local dealer sell it for that price within a couple of hundred dollars. It would be worth a couple of hundred to buy locally and build a relationship with you local dealer. I have seen other dealers selling them within a couple of hundred dollars close to Couch, so that tells me your local dealer may be trying to take advantage of you(trying to be nice here).

Well our local dealer was still 1400 more with his best"your killing me, my kids won't be able eat" speech. I think I'll be on the phone tomorrow to order from RV nation. The few local dealer perks just didn't justify the price difference. I really wanted to support my local economy but not for $1400

Yes I agree with you on you purchase price. The truth is all of these campers are rather generic, and any RV dealer can perform the repairs you need, especially if you are dealing with Forest River products.

We live in SW Fl and traveled to ohio for our RPod. We were able to have it serviced under warranty at Camping World. At the time there was not a local dealer but now there is. Couch's may buy many trailers at a time and get a lower price from the factory. David and Danette

I bought mine from your local dealer.. Picking it up in a week. I figured the difference in price was well worth the convenience of staying local if problems came up. He held mine all winter for me and I'm looking forward to a good long term relationship.
Just my 2 cents from a one time local businessman who supprted his community.

I had looked on line when I went to purchase my 2009 R-pod 171 and came up with all kinds of pricing. I took the best pricing I had and went to my local dealer who I had bought 2 other campers from. After about an hour I came to about $100 of the best price.
The Dealer was :
