Two New Rpod Models

They are pretty nice, just wish they would turn the bed the right way. A little interested in the 189.

If they were to go with a wet bath instead of the dry bath and a smaller slide-out (move the wardrobe), there might be room to turn the bed. At best, a full-sized bed (54x74) would work as a queen would only leave 7-1/2" on either side. The wardrobe could be split and a small one on either side of the mattress. Making it into two beds with an aisle between would work if the mattresses were narrower than a standard twin bed size, such as the seat in the dinette of the 179. then an aisle and wardrobe could be put between the two beds.

I am referring to this Mattress Size Chart. 

Originally posted by GlueGuy One of the big advantages of an R-pod is the relatively narrow width. Yes, it does end up with the outboard wheels, but it also means you can tow without having to have full-on tow mirrors, and it also changes the wind profile significantly. However, it also means that stuffing in a queen size bed is a challenge. The addition of these two new models probably means that FR is getting a lot of requests for a dry bath, and they're trying to accommodate by adjusting the layout as best they can. I'm suspecting that at some point, they will bite the bullet and go to a wider body. Maybe add a foot to it (6" per side), and that would allow the wheels to "tuck in" a little bit, or maybe completely. That would give the 'pod 20 more square feet of floor space without a slide out. It would also allow a queen size bed to be oriented the "proper" way (so to speak). It would also mean that you would not be able to tow it with a smaller vehicle. Choices, choices.

Nope. They have the Surveyor line for that. Made in the same factory. By the same people.
