Your thoughts?

Both of our pods were purchased used and were about 2 years old when we purchased them.  Neither of them had been used extensively or modded.

We have never had any serious problems with either pod and felt that both of them were good values.  We have put about 3500 miles on our 179 and our 173 continues to be used by our friends that purchased it. 

I think the pods fit a very wide range of needs and desires.  Their appeal comes from simplicity, uniqueness and the ability to modify it to your own needs.  I don’t remember who it was, but one of our members said that the pod has good bones to work with.  I agree.  It is sold in design and better than average in execution. As others have said, imitation is tthe truest form of flattery.

We love our pod, would buy another and suggest one for anyone that needs a quality trailer like the pod.

We did in fact look at ordering one of those.. we are still looking at them, but I personally have become enamored with the Neutron.. Partly because, years ago, while doing some repairs on a friends vintage Scotty, that had been "restored".. (for a fair amount of money I might add..) It occurred to me that a person or persons could do an off the shelf, all modern construction methods and materials, REAL retro camper. And Flyte Camp was the first one I saw actually done that way. The Bowlus is a copy, very very nicely done, of an original, so they had to stick with what was originally there. BTW, the few remaining original Bowlus Road Chiefs out there, are all valued at over a million dollars each.. Last time I was at the Airstream factory, they had one in for restoration.

At the time we were discussing "skinning" furpod in aluminum, or giving it a shiny "wrap"...
