Hello

I'm new to Rpods and would like to purchase one in the near future. Looking at the 179. Like the kitchen area! Any thoughts on this model? Pros/ Cons? Thanks all! Kate

It was between the 179 and the 178 for us and we both liked the dinette in the 178 a bit better. I liked the kitchen I the 179 quite a bit myself.

I guess it depends what it is more important for you...the dinette or kitchen.
Are you happy with the the 178?

We love our 178. Unfortunately we have not had the time or opportunity to take it out yet. We have been busy trying out packing arrangements and measuring for storage containers. I did like that the 179 had a small wardrobe as well as the kitchen layout. We are stepping down from a full size 23 foot travel trailer and trying to reconcile that we do not need to take everything with us that we used to travel with. Our long 3 month trips are done and the R Pod seems like the ideal short haul TT for us. Enjoy whichever one you decide on.
