Just got a look at new R-Pods coming off  production line. The color is changed to light gray (looks good). New logo, a little guy sitting in a bi plane. They are installing a light strip under the awning. The sink will be round with a higher end faucet. Also rumored they may be improving the solar system.Has anyone heard any more or have they made changes to any of the floor plans. It also appears they may have improved the quality control process. ------------- The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page. James Fredericktown, MO 2019 RP 176.

One can only hope they have improved the quality control process but don't hold your breath and bet the bank on it. It sounds to me like just allot of bells and ringer visual improvements. My hope is they dump the terrible WFCO converter and upgrade the Dometic refrigerator to a model that allows you to use the optional battery pack in the control panel. That would be two quality improvements that wouldn't cost much at all and be worth any small additional increase in price. ------------- Dave & Marlene J with Zoey the wonder dog. 2017 Rpod 180 2016 Toyota Tacoma SR5 4x4 Lexington, NC |

Thanks for the insight! There's no way we can buy one of these though. Round sink??? What were they thinking? I'd have to replace our perfect little Camco dish pan that fits in our sink, with some round substitute that would never fit as well. There is NO way I'm parting with my dish pan. Some people are great cooks, I'm a great dishwasher. So it sounds good-looking and some otherwise nice new features, but thanks for saving me the trouble of going to look at these ------------- 2017 R-Pod 179 HRE (the green one) His:Ford F150 double cab 4WD; Hers/mine:Tacoma V6 double cab 4WD Still love rugged, diggin' comfy too |
