Sadly after 11 year of owning our Rpod 171 and our Rpod 179, we have moved on to a new camper. We traded our 179 for a Vista Cruiser 19 CSK, which we were able to get fully loaded and it had just arrived from the factory, we were the first to look at it. The pod served us well and it was sad to trade her in.

It may be just me, but the Vista Cruiser looks a lot like the new R-pod 196 we just bought. The separate shower and walk around bed is a big selling point. Enjoy your new travel trailer

Hi Ricktoon,
It is very similar. We were looking at the 195, but our local dealer didnt have any on their lot so we could walk thru it and the 3 that they had coming in were already spoken for so we couldnt view them, and told us it would be roughly 12 weeks or so if we ordered one from the factory. So when we found the Vista Cruiser we figure we would grab it. definitely the big selling points. We also liked the bigger refrigerator and the 3 burner stove with the oven. thanks, you too. |

Leo, the question is -"can you fish from a vista cruiser?" Safe travels with your new rig Vann |

Hope you enjoy your new Vista Cruiser we have the discontinued 19BFD they seem to be well built as far as RV's are built. There are some differences from the r-rpods one is the water tank is located inside the camper and the axle has springs not a torsion axle as the r-pods have. The newer Vistas have the slide windows not the the awning windows and they have a larger single bowl sink and the frames are different I think the newer frames are stronger. We had the smaller r-pod 171 so the Vista 19 foots are quite a bit larger with width and length being larger. We love the extra space especially traveling with two dogs. There is not much of a owners forum compared to the r-pod owners forum. The big thing I think that the r-pods and Vista cruisers are similar is the one piece fiberglass roof. All and all both campers are good campers with the r-pod being the most popular.
