The sticker on the back of the pod says  "Forest River R-Pod  A Genuine Classic"

Anyone know why it is called a Genuine Classic?

Mine says,

Pod, pod, fizz, fizz...Oh what a relief it is!

It used to say,

If you've got the time, we've got the beer.

Had to change it. Too many people showed up!

if marketing, so no real reason.  wondered if it was based on a classical design or if they simply deemed this model would become a classic (which might be marketing).

Probably to distinguish it from all the "imitators"; e.g. Hummingbird, MinnieDrop, etc.

so early models don't have that moniker?  is this a late marketing thing to "distinguish" it from the imitators?  i.e. forest river did it first?   that makes some sense.
