RPOD 176T - Event Date: 24 Mar 2017 - 31 Mar 2017

We have the RP-179. I didn't like the idea of the tent portion. I used to camp in tents. I did not want to have the hassle of wet tent material with our trailer. However, it is likely that unless you went up to a larger trailer than the R-Pod, this might be your only option unless you also traded vehicles for one that could tow a larger trailer.

We were towing with a Ford Escape with 2L Ecoboost engine. It also had a tow rating of 3500 lbs. It did quite well. I don't know if the Odyssey is turbocharged. If it is, it might do just fine. If not, it would do well at lower elevations and struggle as you got up to higher elevations as it would lose 4% of power for every 1,000 ft of elevation gain.

Neither my wife nor I mind the wet bath. It is a bit tight, but usable. Think of it as having a place to sit while showering. Most of the time, we use campground facilities if they are available. Showers in the R-Pod use more water than you think they would. That would apply to dry baths also. You can empty your fresh water tank and fill up your gray water tank very quickly unless you are extremely frugal with the water use. We don't have the R-dome. I do not think it comes with a floor though.

Hi jpolicas,   No the r-dome does NOT come with a floor.  More of a place to get out of the elements (rain, sleet, snow) and unless you are finicky about putting up the screen between the dome and the pod, mosquitoes and the like will find a way to get in.  Can't tell you about A/C as we special ordered ours to come without as we usually dry camp w/o electricity.  Am sure there are plenty of 176T owner that will chime in and give you a good answer to your question.  As far as the shower, we use ours a fair amount, quite an upgrade from our previous pop-up campers.  We don't use much water, being miserly, and usually boondocking, get wet, soap up, rinse off.  For me, takes about 1 minute, my wife takes a tad longer.  Guess we got used to doing this being in countries like Mexico, Nicaragua, Guyana, and Kosova, where water wasn't plentious.
