Choices Rpods

Well I think I am going with the 180.  First just to exercise due diligence I am going to look at a Jayco Hummingbird similar configuration.  Mostly due to the 2 year warrantee of the Hummer.  Once I buy will let you all know but the 180 in the lead now.

I'm the same age and we bought the 179 for the spacious kitchen. We had a very large popup before this and have found the R-Pod to be pretty darn luxurious compared to the old trailer. The bathroom is pretty cramped for me (6 foot, 200 pound former rugby player) but is fine for my wife. We both agree that in several years, if were still rv-ing that the 180 might be a good choice for when we're less mobile and supple. 

I think some things get out of the plants that should be caught and fixed.  I also think that the best thing any Pod owner should have is a good dealer.  I was lucky to buy our pod in spring of 2011 from a great dealer that prepped our trailer, and had been there for me since we picked it up with regular service and advice.

The other point to consider is that this is a light weight RV, and built to a low price point.  It doesn't have solid surface counters and solid oak cabinets.  I have found it serviceable and it has held up well for a number of seasons and thousands of miles.

We love our Pod and hope you do too. YMMV

We bought our 2018 179 in June and have camped at least 10 times in it with our two young boys. We have camped in it from the Mackinac Michigan to Florida.   We couldn't be happier with our choice. We haven't any issues with things breaking like others have reported and it still looks brand new. I would say the quality is as good as other travel trailors at this price. We had a 20 year old Jayco pop up prior that still looked great when we sold it. My husband took care of the upkeep and we will do the same for the Rpod.
