Looking back, We Like our RP-172 , but, I think I think the 177 for us has a better lay out. Donna likes the fact you can make the bed and its out of the way, you don't have to put the table up and down, ours does have 2 full size bunks in the front in case we ever get grandchildren, oh well maybe next time.

We bought a 182G last year and immediately ripped the "trunk" out so we could set up a queen sized bed with a view.  It's wonderful to camp in, and my next set of mods will be rebuild the kitchen in the slide out and fabricate an extension that fits out of the hatch to get us a full 80"x60" queen bed space -- having our heads against the wall, as well insulated as it is, doesn't work for us.

A fun project space you can camp in?  Sign me up!

I bought the discontinued RP173 I got a none slide trailer because I was concerned about the weight with my tow vehicle. The Final two choices were the 2011 173 and a 2009 175.

177 for us, and it suits us to a "T".

Because of work related responsibilities, we can only "escape" for a couple of nights midweek.  We also gravitate to the Florida State Parks, so with their fine facilities the lack of a dry bath is less of a problem.  Storage is more than adequate.  The R-Dome goes up every time so living space is huge!  Most cooking is done on outside charcoal grill, and our cooler is more than adequate for two days worth of groceries.  (And beer!)

Our 177 is mostly for shelter-  beds, potty, AC/heat.  Tows easy and sets up fast.  What more do you want?

The first RPod we ever saw was a 171 on Tybee Island in Georgia. We fell in love with it, but then we opted for the 177 so the slide would give us more room and we are so happy we did!

171 is perfect for us.  Saw the 177 first and really liked it, but decided in the end to keep weight down a couple hundred pounds and not have to deal with a slide on our first trailer.  We spend most of our time outside anyways, so the dome will be the most used room in our pod!
