Topic: Introducing the RPod 179 this February Posted: 05 Jan 2014 at 3:05pm |
Welcome Dave, From floor to doorsill 13 1/2", from doorsill to shower floor 6 1/2". We have not found it to be a problem.

They all have this style of shower setup. The Pods are to low, and to small, for the plumbing to be below the trailer. So in that "space" is the P trap for the shower, etc.

Thanks for the responses on the bath door. I didn't realize the plumbing wasn't below the trailer.
The door makes sense now, and given that its not the same "step" height is different on both sides I'd agree it doesn't seem like it'd be an issue. Hoping we can see for ourselves next month.

I might add to Mark's reply that the shower pan extends into that space, too. But, that is pretty obvious.

I wondered can you get into the bathroom and the bedroom with the slide not extended? I had heard on other R-pods that you could use them without extending say you were stopping in a parking lot.

Someone mentioned a new one with 2 slides. Is that something in the future?

I seriously doubt we will ever see a dual slide pod.

I looked at a 179 before getting my 178. I will say from the outside it looks kind of funny. Like they stretched it too much and there weren't enough windows. The kitchen was a great improvement. The dining area was OK and the storage closet and bed locations were good. I didn't like how the door opened up and hit the fender on the tire. A good wind could easily catch the door and slam into the fender and cause damage. Not sure why the door didn't open the other direction.
