Helloooooo Rpod owners. My other pea and I just bought our very first camper ever and on top of that IT'S AN R-POD. WooHooStarThumbs UpClown  the only bummer is we can't get it until next week. I feel like a 6 year old on Christmas Eve. We both grew up camping with tent/pop up campers and can't wait for our first weekend away. I'd love to hear more from campers in Arkansas or Oklahoma and let us know your favorites camping spots. Great forum, we've learned so much

Welcome!!

Hi
We have not yet purchased an R Pod but have narrowed it down to our TT of choice! We are very uncertain as the best way to buy. First thought RV Show but have been doing a lot of online research and finding dealers within a weekend driving distance. Even a so called Wholesale Dealer? I reach out to the group for any suggestionsSmile

Thanks

Decide the model you want and get quotes from Couch's.  If you're willing to do a weekend drive that'd be a perfect place to start your search.

Welcome.  After you print out a copy of Couch's offer, take it to your local dealer and tell them Couch's is their competition.  Work 'em.  Also replace that mattress based on others suggestions.  Safe Travels.

That's what I did with my local dealer.  After negotiations they wouldn't go below $14,000 (down from $18k).  Pulled out the printout and immediately they dropped within a few hundred dollars.  I paid around $12,500 with all options.

Thanks for the suggestions. Time to do some bargaining. Looks like we will zero in on the 176T. We have two Labs and feel the lower bunk would be a great spot for them.

Hello everyone, Mark & Vicki here from south central PA.  We just purchased our 2013 R-178 and love it. We're still getting it ready to take out.  It seems with family obligations, and other commitments we're a little slow getting out in the woods.  I've been reading all the forum topics to get the best ideas for storage, ground clearance, mattress, r-dome erection directions etc. and have found a wealth of information.  This forum is great! I'm sure I will be spending alot of time reading everything I can.  Are there any Podders here in the south central PA area? Smile
