Something a bit larger

Originally posted by David and Danette    I like the Northwood and Outdoor rv's too, but then you have more weight and maintenance of four wheels. How about a Evergreen Ascend they were discontinued this year but there are still some new ones and used for sale.

I have stepped away from any orphan trailers. With Evergreen out of business, any product support is going to be iffy. They don't seem to have the network like podders do. We looked very very hard at the Element, the original one. It went OOP and I talked to them and they said it was coming back, and when it did, for a short time, it was just a SOB.

I too wanted a slight upsize from my 177, looking for the same things you are.  I ended up getting a Forest River EVO ATS 200rd. It's been rebranded for 2017 as the Sonoma 201rd. I loved my Pod, but we really like the walk around bed and dry bath. The thing that sets this one apart is LARGE rear living windows. A lot of units this size have the bath at the rear and not many windows and I want to see out when I'm camping.

Camp-Lite & Lance are the two that appeal to us if/when we decide more space is needed.  Now, though, the roof on the house and AC replacement have our attention.  :-(

Originally posted by g4royce Evergreen went OOB?  We were looking at the Evergreen Ascend 171 for the past few years. We didn't want anything much bigger than we currently have but wanted a dry bath and a rear window/living area.  Many of the sites we stay at have great views out the back but none at the sides or the front.  Also, in New England, the sites with the good views are often for the smaller unit too (<20ft).

The sad truth..
