Calendar Event: New 2017 Colors Posted: 23 Jun 2016 at 12:56pm |
Hello, does anyone have a picture or idea of what the new (coming in Sep.) Rpod color schemes will be? A dealer told me that they would be silver and blue on the outside. Supposedly there was a picture on the R-pod Facebook site that was removed. Does anyone have this picture? I don't and won't do the Facebook thing, so hopefully someone on this site can help.

Thank you!! That confirms what the dealer told me. I am not sure that I like it, but others may.

I guess I'd have to see the other 3 sides to form an opinion, but based on the one pic, I prefer my green....!

Does it have a traditional awning, while I like the green of of my 2016, I would love a traditional awning.

It looks nice, but I rather prefer the green/brown color scheme of our 2016 179. The awning is nice, but given the price of them, I built my own. It is one of my mods, link in my signature.
Edit: Looking at the picture, I'm not sure how what looks like an awning would work. I don't see any support framework. It would be interesting to see it deployed. |

I'm assuming the awning would be similar to the one I had on our previous popup, which was self-supporting. It unrolled from a zipper bag, and at the end were telescoping legs that clipped into the bottom of the camper. By the way, the post on the FB page I took this picture from showed another R-pod with this color scheme. This one looks like it's a 179 or 180. The other shot was of a smaller Pod--perhaps a 178. It did not have an awning. The 179/180 has a longer flat section on the roof. I don't think the shorter roofs of the 178 (and lower) models would accommodate an awning like that. |

The new colors are not bad looking. Come a long way since the original.

Looks like a cross between Miami Vice and Vermont Ice. Guess that works!
