I hear you. I've thought about that too.

I will keep my 180 until they come out with one that you can walk around the bed then I will upgrade. My only complaint is trying to make up that bed next to the wall but all the other great features make up for this one flaw. :)

DawgLady & Rebecca, good for y'all! We like that 180, too. In fact, we started with the 171 and then, when the 180 came out (with its bigger bath), we were persuaded to trade up.  So glad we did!  And, you're right: never too old to enjoy life.  I saw someone's rule of thumb the other day that makes a lot of sense: Drive 300 miles or until 3 pm and then stop for the day.  Good luck & safe travels!

I am a 70 year old widow and bought my first camper this year, 180, and have already traveled 600 miles with it. Never to old to enjoy life ☺️

I feel very fortunate to have found it via my sisters on the fly group. I originally wanted to find a vintage trailer but after seeing and researching the rpods I decided this would be the perfect fit for me and my husband.

A lot of enjoyment has been had by us as well.  Giving tours at campgrounds, rest stops, gas stations of our 177.  Purchased in January 2011 when we were in our mid to late 50's after nearly 30 years of pop-up camping, a great move forward for us.

We got ours at age 62. We just got back from a long trip. We are thoroughly enjoying our 179.
Welcome, and enjoy your new adventures.
