 Yes, a short-lived experiment by FR, I haven't seen one in person.  No mention of them on the current floor plan list.

Since I don't have toys to haul it kind of looks like the worst of both worlds to me. I do line the dual axle though.

I thought it was an interesting look.  Kind of felt like it goes against the feel and vibe of the Rpod as a whole though.

I agree with the KyMooses. it is kind of like taking a 1962 VW beatle and putting a 427 V/8 in it and a sunroof and a vinyl top and chrome crager wheels. It takes away from what the original concept was.

I see that they have a tent popup and and hardside popup in the flagstaff line with the same front deck design though.

A guy up the road from me has a trailer for his stock car with a pop-up in the front kind of like the Quad Pod in reverse. It has been for sale for a couple of years...

   I don't see the bad part in that . It would be worth some serious money ,you could sell it and buy 2 R pods  LOL!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder where the designer of the Quadpod works now?  Safe Travels.

Very odd.  As pointed out for the pods, that just goes against the reasons you would buy a popup in the first place (truly aerodynamic, lightweight).  5th wheel toy haulers make sense, but pod or popup toy haulers, no.
