I like it, but the pod I will buy is dry bah, but more important a bed with three sides open.


Doubt there will ever be a pod with the bed turned. The pod is what it is. To turn the queen bed, the pod would have to be at least a foot wider. I seriously doubt that happening, FR already has several shorter length trailers with a north south bed and wider stance. The narrowness of the pod concept is part of it's appeal and design criteria.


It could be wider by having the weels inboard instead of having fenders.  Lots of towables are built that way.  I am not a marketing person and don't know what kind of work FR has done to look at this market.  I just know I am keeping what I have unless they make one that I like better.

There were discussions on that early on, on this forum.  Even go the max 8 feet wide like many campers and there would be room for a walk-around queen.  The length could be kept shorter, too, with some floor plans, since the total area would be the same.
