Hello from Ft worth TX,

Hello all. Looking to purchase a Rpod 180. The wife and I love the layout and can be towed without buying a new rig. We are looking at a 2017.5 180, but think the price is too high. Will keep everyone updated when we purchase a camper. We hope to learn alot on here.....

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.

Welcome! Good luck in looking. Don't just take the price into consideration. Take a hard look at the dealer. Pay attention to the service department. If the dealer is near you, a higher price might be acceptable if there is an outstanding service department. OTOH, if the after-sale service is terrible, a lower price is too high.

You might consider taking a look in the classifieds on this forum (go to Forum home then scroll down to flea market). There are often good deals on well-cared for RPods. I believe there's a 180 in there now for sale - no affiliation on my part.

Howdy from the RaptoRPod 179 in McKinney, TX!

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

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!

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.

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
