Hello From GA

   Hello from steamy GA!  We used to have an R-Pod 173 (one of the original models) and didn't like the cramped feel, with no slide and no storage.  We currently have an Aliner Classic, figuring that if we're going to be cramped, we might as well enjoy the benefits of easier and cheaper towing than the R-Pod 173 gave us.  Well, the cheaper towing and smaller tow vehicle is great, but the lack of a bathroom, no storage to speak of, AND tight space has proven a bit much.  After two years, we're trying to sell it, especially after getting a look at the new R-Pod 179!  It has STORAGE, as well as a bathroom (albeit a small one).  We'll see if our Aliner sells.  If so, we may be rejoining the Podder world - fingers crossed!  We tow with a 2010 Nissan Pathfinder, which is a more than adequate tow vehicle for an R-Pod.

	Welcome from steamy Florida! Hope you are able to sell your Aliner soon and be able to buy the r-pod 179 the camper you want. It's a very popular model Forest River is having no problem selling them.

	Thank you for the warm welcome! We found out today that the woman who looked at our Aliner last weekend is going to buy it! She's going to pick it up Monday. Once that happens, we'll start seriously searching for the best deal. We have a dealer in Marietta, GA, but I've also been in contact with Couch's RV and have gotten a good quote. I'd rather deal locally, so we're going to try and see if our dealer will come close to matching Couch's price. Right now, they're about $3000 or so apart, not taking shipping into consideration.

	Welcome GeorgiaPeach. We purchased a 179 memorial weekend from petes RV in Schererville IN for $13,990 base price. It was fun road tripping up there to pick it up. Give Scott a call. Petesrv.com. I live our SeaPod. The small bathroom concerned me at first, but decided that we wouldn't be doing a whole lot if boondocking, so it would probably only get used in the middle of the night. Love the storage. Have fun!

	My wife declared that she would NOT be using the shower in our 178. And the toilet ONLY at night. Until the first camping trip happened....
