Good luck, I'm sure you'll love it! Lots of good information on this forum about how to make the most of the space. This is our first year out with our 179 and it's made our camping trips so much more enjoyable!

Thanks everyone for the replies. I love the choice of layouts. After much deliberation, I decided to go with the wet bath. I'm picking up my new 2018 178 model on Saturday!

Couldn't have said it better myself! My wife's favorite room in the house is the bathroom, so I knew that the best way to get her hooked on an rPod was to show her the model with the big dry bath FIRST!!! That made the deal.

And that is why R-Pods come in multiple floor plans. Each of us decides what is best for him-/herself. That way, we can be happy with knowing we have what suits us, not stuck with someone else's idea of what we should have.

We had a 171 Rpod and found the bathroom difficult to get in and out of, too close to kitchen. We traded it in a year later for a 180 and could not have been happier. We use the larger bathroom for storage, locking the cat in, and for it's intended purposes. With the bathroom at the back it does not hamper the kitchen area.
It is dark, so we installed motion light and plan on a small window sometime in the near future. The slide out and large bathroom is the way to go in our opinion. We are retired and so it is only the two of us, plus pets. Bob and Leah

I like my 180 with the big dry bath. The wet bath seemed too claustrophobic to both my wife and me. We don’t cook big meals and it’s just the two of us so the small dinette is fine.

Hundreds of showers and "other uses" of the wet bath.. never bothered us at all.

Yet another voice for the wet bath being okay. We weren't so constrained on weight, but bought our 179 because of the larger kitchen. We figured we would get more use out of the larger kitchen and additional storage space than the limited time we would spend in the shower. If available, we will use alternatives such as those in campgrounds, but showering in the wet bath isn't a problem. Water supply and gray water tank capacity are much more limiting factors. Showers need to be short. Filling the sink with soapy water and using that to wash and then a quick rinse with the shower works well. My wife needs a bit more for shampooing her hair, but both of us don't use much water when showering in the R-Pod.

The trade-off is between a roomy shower/bathroom and the space that requires. Considering the small amount of time we use that particular room, I'm happy with keeping it small.

Thanks for the replies. I'm used to traveling with no bathroom, so anything here is a step up!
