Future Pod family here.

We are a Marine Corps family of 4 and have decided after many years to finally buy our first TT. So we placed a deposit on it this past weekend. We decided on the RPOD 172 due to our TV tow capacity and not wanting to upgrade that.

We were tent campers and rented a pop-up and a-frame last year. Looking forward to adding more memories for our family.

Welcome!  I don't think you're going to regret your decision.  We just went from a tent trailer to a 178 this year and after a 2 week camping trip with variable weather, we were glad we made the switch!

We looked at the 172 early on, the bunks are a nice size... should work well for your family of 4.  The rpods tow really well, so you shouldn't have a problem there.

Hope you enjoy it!
