I saw one up close as it passed us doing about 85 as we traveled south on I-17 a couple of years ago. That was about 1 hour south of Flagstaff, saw it again up close just before Black Canyon City on the side of the road minus it's left side fender due to a blown tire.
So much for getting home in a hurry. Goose

Probably a cheaper Chinese knockoff, they sell them at flea markets and sell them on eBay with free shipping.

They came out not too long after FR began making rpods, and I think FR actually sued the manufacturer because it's an obvious ripoff of the pod, right down to the graphics.

They used to sell them at Countrywide Campers in E. Montpelier, VT but haven't seen them there for the last couple years.

The MPG 181 is very similar to the Rpod 177. Too bad they stopped making them.
