So, not to derail my own thread but this seems awful cheap, does anyone have any experience with these campers?



 It's an older camper with few amenities. So not expensive. Please note it is also as wide as a pod.

No, those are all non-tent models.

Are these the hybrid types with the tent?

For less than 7', there's ProLite. http://www.roulottesprolite.com/indexenglish.htm. They are pretty light and from my experience, have a pretty good build quality.

Up until very recently I had a ProLite Profil. I can answer your questions probably better than their own salesmans/womans...

Thanks everyone,

I may have to change a few of my 'needs' to 'nice to haves' as I'm really keen on the Rpods

I really wanted to avoid having to pay for storage for the trailer, it's about $130+ in mu neck of the woods :(

Your seven foot width and no slide limit your options. The Camplite 16BHB or 13BHB would work if you can find a used one. They are no longer manufactured. However they both have wet baths. If you can live with a couch and portable table for your sitting area the current 14DB would work and it has a dry bath.

The RPODs have 7 foot wide bodies, but the fenders are eight feet wide. Might still work beside your house depending on its construction.
