151's are pretty rare. I suspect you will need to expand your search area to be successful in finding this exact model.

You might have better luck finding a 171 or 172. I don't know that there would be much of a $$$ difference.

Yes, I sold my 179 in November. I was having trouble towing it in the mountains. Looking for a smaller pod and like the 151 floor plan the best. Doreen

We love our 151. Once you get used to the space limitations it is an awesome little trailer. As a reference point, we paid $7,400 5 years ago. Good luck with your search ------------- 2010 R Pod 151 2017 4runner 2006 Honda Metropolitan |

PodRunner, I'll give you $7,000! I've only found one for sale and it's 33 hours away, no a/c and over my budget. :( I've pretty much given up on finding any others. |

dgb, Keep your eyes on http://www.rvtrader.com/ - http://www.rvtrader.com/ You can also look on Craigslist, there are a number of different sites that can search Craigslist listings by distance from you and states.

BTW what is the weight of a 151? EDIT Never mind, found it at 1937 lbs. About 500 lbs lighter than our 177. ------------- God's pod '11 model 177 '17 Ford F-150 4WD 3.5 Ecoboost Jim and Diane by beautiful Torch Lake "...and you will know the Truth and the Truth will set you free." |

I have been using searchtempest.com which searches Craigslist and ebay. I've got it set for alerts and at a distance of 400 miles. I also have an alert set up on rvtrader.com. They're just rare I guess. :(

dgb, Not to sound negative but if your heart is set on a 151 model I think you better be looking from coast to coast because there are just not that many of them out there for sale. May I ask why the 151, is it because your tow vehicle can't pull the weight? If that's the case maybe you might want to think about replacing your tow vehicle with something that can pull more weight? That would broaden the Rpod models you could choose from, like the 177 at only 500 more pounds as jato said. Something to think about..... ------------- Dave & Marlene J with Zoey the wonder dog. 2017 Rpod 180 2016 Toyota Tacoma SR5 4x4 Lexington, NC |

I want the 151 because I like the floor plan, and the weight. I had a 179 and my tow vehicle struggled in the mountains. I don't want to change my tow vehicle for something I'll only tow less than 10 times a year. That wouldn't make sense to me. I like my Jeep, so I changed campers instead of vehicle. I won't go coast to coast because it's not like it's a rare antique car that I have to have, it's just a camper that I like. :) I bought a Scamp that I'll be camping in for now. It's very lightweight, but eventually, I'm hoping to find a 151 within a few hours drive, then I'll sell the Scamp. I know the other models are close in weight, but I want the 151 floorplan. It's more the floorplan than the weight, but the weight is important also in the mountains.
