Well,

You are going to be mad at me.  My neighbor down the street was selling a Micro Minnie 2106FBS.  He gave all the connections, upgraded sewer lines, 30/50/110V connections, WD hitch, sway bar.....I mean everything I would need to just go RV'ing.  I couldn't pass it up.  I still love the RPOD 180, but I couldn't pass up this deal.

Thank you for the help

If you're interested, there's a rally next month near Tyler. It's taking place September 20-23 at Jellystone Park.


I May show up to that if I can get a 180 by then. That could be my shake down trip before a 500+ mile trip.


You probably want to make a reservation sooner rather than later. You can always cancel it later if you don't get your 180 or can't make the event. We've already overflowed our allotted spots with reservations to date. Just call the office at Jellystone Park at Whispering Pines (903-350-0427) and mention the R-Pod rally.

Good luck with the purchase of a 180! We just bought a new 2018 rPod 180 and we love it. It tows easily behind our V6 Tacoma.


Thanks. That is what I have for a tow rig. 2007 V6 tacoma. I am glad to hear that


Just know that your gas mileage will drop to 10 and 11 mpg whentowing the pod. It gives you a limited range on travel because you’ll be making more gas stops.

Yup. I saw a 180 in Ohio for $9,999. I was willing to buy and ship it to TX but it was sold. I'm still scouring the interwebz for a 180 that suits my needs. I'd prefer used since we have a toddler. We want to use it as much as we can until my son has to start school.

Planning NW Florida, Big Bend, grand canyon and Utah.....we are excited

I tow my 180 too with a Tacoma SR5 4x4 with a WDH it does fine, no problems. So what is the dealer asking for the 180 your looking at? Lots of variables to factor into when negotiating a price, good luck!
