Rpod competition

No competition here. The mini does not have a wet bath or slide out. The dinette bunk is much more narrow than the Pod and there is no back window. However, it does have a rather large storage cabinet. The ones I looked at online retail for around $9995 so I'm not too sure of the quality either. The Pod is lookin' pretty good right now!

Very Interesting. Looks like they are going after the T@b market though not the Rpod market The biggest one is smaller than the 151 was. Smaller than the Rpod. it is shorter and narrower and lighter. No grey or black tank. It has a sink though so it has to have something in the way of a grey tank or perhaps the sink drains direct to a sewer hookup. I see it has steel wheels. Obviously a cost cutting messure. It also has  a bumper and inboard wheels. If it had a place to store a cassette toilet it would be a good little light weight basic trailer. I wonder if they will stay in their market or move up to bigger rigs the way that Rpod did?

I looked at one of these a dealer near my house has them. They are not near the quality or camper that the Rpod's are. To get the inside standing room they cut out the floor bottom and have a metal tray that drops down. And if I remember correctly they use soft woods for construction. It is a economy trailer from Forest River for those who are wanting a trailer that does't cost much. For the money perhaps it is a good trailer but I would rather buy a good used Rpod.     David

Sonic lite. Well I actually sold my 2015 rpod 177 for a new sonic lite. MODEL SL169VRD. I fell in love with the floor plan and the decor.  However my RPod was made so much better. Never had issues but have had issues with my new sonic lite.  Do I regre it? Not really because I love my floor plan. I still think very highly of the Rpod..
