We decided rather than wait another year or two before moving up to a larger RV that we would just do it now.  (That's what happens when you go to the huge Tampa RV show and get trailer envy). So we are putting our slightly used 180 for sale.  It is located in Sussex, NJ.  It has every option (awning not dome) except the bicycle rack.  We added the hardwired Progressive Industries EMS, a battery shut off switch and it is covered for the winter (cover will be included).  We also added a backsplash in the kitchen and bath (stick on tiles).  It is better than new since it has the bugs worked out and we had the water heater and converter replaced under warranty.  It is parked at a RV rental place that does factory warranty work so anything you find broken can be repaired right there on the spot.  We are not in NJ and will not return until April.  If you are in the area we can tell you where it is located and can even ask the lot owner to let you in to see it as they have a key.  But we cannot close the deal until April.  I have not researched what the price should be so just make and offer and maybe it will sound good enough to accept.  We love the POD but it is too small for us to travel on long distance trips of several weeks duration.  We even thought first about getting a 24 foot but decided that was even too small and so will be getting a 26 foot.  We have to choose from about three brands with similar floorplan.  Send me a private message if interested.  We will list it in RV trader when we get back and can get pictures.  If we buy the new RV sooner than we would just trade it in and not sell privately.

Wow 26 footer, huh? I presume that means you'll be getting a bigger TV? I'm guessing a 26-foot TT is going to be in the 6,000 lb range?

The trailers that we are considering are all aluminum construction and weigh in around 4700 lbs.  We went looking to upgrade our Jeep Cherokee to the Grand Cherokee but the dealer told us we would save alot of money by a getting a Ram 1500 truck with better towing capacity.  He had a leftover 2017 Diesel for $11,000 off of MSRP so we took it.  And it was $10,000 cheaper than the GC.

+1 - there is some exciting stuff out there, missed the Nashville Super RV show this year because of weather, wanted to see the 189/190s. My wife gets wrapped up in the 179:) I tell her the 178 is paid for.

We have mixed feelings in that after just a few days of listing on RV Trader we got multiple offers on our RPOD.  Most were to buy it site unseen.  They wanted to drive to NJ with a check and take it home.  Fortunately there was a couple that was local and able to see it and we went to contract.  The bottom line, RPODS have great reputations and there is a huge demand for used ones (or slightly used in our case).  When we return to NJ we will complete the deal and buy our larger RV.  This forum was a big help in selling our RV.  There have been multiple posts on the quality of the RPOD and whether they should buy elsewhere.  This forum has been great in responding and convincing people RPODS are a great value and FR does support its product.  Thanks everyone.
