A real cold weather package would be a nice wishlist item. They could call it "The Rustbelt Edition"...

Thanks everyone,

We walked into the dealer cold without much knowledge of R Pods, really just wanted to show them to my wife.  It seems now that an R Pod is an R Pod is an R Pod, with small exceptions.  I'd prefer not to "out" the dealer as its possible I might use them for something later on.  In fact he called today and I politely explained that I was moving on to something he doesn't sell and thanked him for his time. 

Great people here, hope to join you as an owner sometime over the next few months.

Congrats on the both of you being retired. I retired in January and my wife will retire in April. Can't wait to take the Pod out with no worries about being back home by a certain time. Enjoy retirement and I'm sure you'll love the Pod.

The dealer is flat out lying. We live in MA where it hit -14F last month, so if such an option existed we would have definitely gotten it. The floors on the Rpod are insulated, putting heating elements on the outside of the cabin would be useless they added another layer of external insulation over it. To add underfloor heating (aka radiant floor heating) they would have to rip up the flooring tiles to accomplish it, and FR would never agree to letting a dealer do that.

I agree, look elsewhere. And also don't be shy about going out of state. We took a price from a dealer 2 states away and got our local Camping World to match it. That said - I don't have much love for CW.

I think you would do us all a favor by listing this dealership and the town it is located in so we can all AVOID it.  Would be especially helpful to those who live in our around New York so they can reference this and take notice.  Thanks for sharing this with us.

Thanks,

This really did not pass the smell test for me so thanks for confirming.  I'm ok with wearing a pair of socks if the floor feels cold.
