More fabric choices: texture and color

   As most of the r.pod dinettes and window valance sizes are standardized across the entire line, it would be nice to have have had a choice of fabric type as well as color options to choose from.  Our current fabric is some sort of ultra-suede paired with oatmeal-chocolate-ship chenille. While it's lovely by itself, it's not exactly our thing and certainly not in something as small in our 152.  It makes the small space look "busy" and hot.  Most of our travel is during the summer months along the NE Shoreline, so the Ultrasuede and Chenille combo doesn't quite do it for us when coming back to the pod from a day at the beach.
I'm sure that enough r.pods in the 17x series are being sold that FR could sell extra covers in classic Sunbrella or Crypton fabrics for the Window Valances, cushion covers and organizers.

While on the topic of colour and texture, it would be nice if FR offered the r.pod interiors in birch finish as well as their current mahogany.

	I completely agree with you. We have had our r-pod a couple months and I already want to change the color scheme. Browns are so drab and finding material to coordinate is impossible. We plan to change it out a bit at a time.

	The reason brown is used by a lot by manufactures is that it hides the dirt the best and does not make your trailer look as dirty after using it for awhile.

	We like brown...in general. But since we are in the NE and in Lyme disease central, we found it also hides the ticks as well as the dirt. So we've changed all our sheets to cream and khaki from our original choice of chocolate brown to hide any dirt. Our bathmats are still chocolate brown because the khaki coloured ones got so dirty after only 2 days.
