rpod hybrids

You are so correct.  I found the R Pod by using the internet, and I have read every post on this forum.  When we go to get the pod, I will be looking under the pod, inside the drawers, and anywhere else you have suggested!   I am sure that there is someone from FR who gets on every day and reads these posts.  I, also, can almost bet you that someone at Couch's and probably other dealerships are reading the posts.

It took a long time for the automobile to get where it is today. The biggest changes I think were in the 1980"s. I think that was mainly due to competition from Japan. With China now importing the Icamp a small fiberglass trailer, I think that others will follow. There is room for improvement they see this and they will try and build something better. North America has a lead and more experience but other countrys may catch up. My own experience having owned a Icamp is that they had some good ideas and some of it was good quality. But it was not very practical as a camper that is my opinion. It too had some quality issues. Usually you get what you pay for. But sometimes you may get something made well for a lower price than the competition. Sometimes it may be junk money wasted. The Rpod is good but it could of been better. The price was low it was worth what it cost. If it were better the price would of been most likely higher.      Happy camping     David

I am a dealer, I read the posts. 

I see the specs are now posted on Forest River's website - the new models seem to all have the 36/35/35 tank sizes like the non-slide original versions.  I'm curious whether that was a typo or if they figured out how to fit the full-size tanks in the new models, and also whether this means they won't have split drain outlets.  Those two things were really the only drawbacks for me to the slideout models and if they're gone then it would be a no-brainer.

Cool, the 176T has a slide-out along with the hybrid pull-out.
