Advice

The wet bath does take a little getting used to, however, so little time is spent in the bathroom, that it was not even on the radar for us as far as being a deal breaker. There is a method to get into and out of the bathroom with little trouble. 

I looked at the Retro brand at a local dealer before buying a POD. I liked it, but the dealer didn't have a model on the lot that we liked. But overall we liked the concept. Have you looked at the 176T? or did you rule=out hybrids? Or maybe the 182G? The only reason I ask that now is because originally you were talking 171. 

Going to finally get to go look at R pods this weekend; hopefully anyhow. I will then have a better idea of what we need to be looking for. The Cruiser Funfinder 18ufd is another model I'd be interested in looking at as well. I've found out that there are so many choices out there that's its kind if confusing to know where to head. I'm looking for a quality product but don't want to break the bank in the process since we will likely use it one weekend a month for about 6 months out of the year and maybe a week long trip once a year. How's the build quality of the R pod vs some of the larger box type trailers in the same price point? Would like bunks and a slide and the rear garage on the pods would be nice and potentially add a littleore storage or carrying capacity. We're basically wanting something that we can leave partially stocked to make taking off on Fridays after work easier and quicker.

I saw the Winnebago Micro Minnie and Minnie at a recent show.  Impressed with finish and inclusions (awning, jacks, water and tank capacities, 6-sided aluminum frame, etc).  Bathroom had a dry bath.  The smaller models vary in width.  Down side was it seemed a little low, but maybe axle risers would help.  Made me think, though...

Originally posted by Keith-N-Dar I was concerned with the wet bath when we first got ours, but I mind it less every year.  It is small, and needs to be wiped down after a shower, but it has just become part of the fun of camping. Not being able to walk around the bet to make it and having to climb over the outside person to get out of bed are not much fun. If anything drives us away from the Pod that will be it.
