 Topic: New Guy trying to decide WHICH ONE?Posted: 09 Dec 2010 at 2:23pm |

Greeting to everyone. I am a new member and WILL BE a first time RV owner in the near future.
I have looked extensively at pop-up's and ultralight TT's and I keep thinking that the "EGG" type of TT might be the ticket.
I am looking for something that will allow beds for 4 people, and have all the modern convieniences, as my wife is a "lightweight"
 Can you advise which RPOD's will do that and why you prefer RPOD versus the other competitors such as Scamp, Castila, Eggcamper, etc.??
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Welcome! We chose the 171 because it will sleep 4 (plus an occasional guest with an air matress on the floor, with their feet under the dinette). In the future if the kids decide they don't want to camp or if they are away at college, we don't have to convert our bed every night like you must with some other models.
Several other models can accomodate 4 - look for ones with a queen and bunks, or a queen and a dinette: http://www.forestriverinc.com/nd/default22.asp?page=floor&choice=rpod&nav=rec

Well...we went with the R-Pod for several reasons, one was price. Some others were, largest capacity water tanks for the UltraLights that we looked at. Largest refrigerator capacity.
Liked the look and finish of them as well.
In case you didn't see this on the site, its a list of why people picked their R-Pods.

We have been PUP owners for many years, worked well when the kids were growing up, but now that they don't usually camp with us anymore, we wanted something that is easier to set up. We like the 173T because we still have the tent aspect and it only takes a few minutes to set up. As a matter of fact, we didn't even set up the tent end on our maiden voyage in November as it was a chilly weekend and only 2 nights. So... some versatility there. Could very easily sleep 4 with 2 in the tent end and 2 on the dinette. One other consideration is what you are towing with...

Barry the RPods are good campers for the price but have you looked at the Gulfstream Visa or Heartlands MPG, they have been mentioned by others in deciding on a light weight camper. David

Gotta say we are very pleased with our Pod, 171.
