| It says R Pod on the side, and it does have a Queen bed inside... Whatever I guess. |

Hi S. Ross. Welcome to the forum. There's lots of invaluable advice here. I've had my 172 for a year and a half and I don't now how I would have manged without the helpful advice here. As you've seen, there's also many of us not so happy that FR is moving away from its original focus on, somewhat unique, small lightweight travel trailers to be more like everyone else.  ------------- Julie |

Welcome and congratulations on your "new" RPod. I hope you have many fun adventures and make many great memories with it. I think there is a bit of confusion. RPod 180 is an RPod model. 180QB is a KZ Escape model number. The RPods don't normally carry a suffix on the model number with the exception of "T" for Tent or "G" for Garage. There was no 180G or 180T model and there certainly was no 180QB model. The RP- 171, 177, 178, 179, and 180 all come with a transverse RV queen (74" x 60") bed. If it says RPod on it, then it is an RPod. If it says anything else, it is not, although it may look similar. ------------- StephenH Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7712 - ouR escaPOD mods Former RPod 179 Current Cherokee Grey Wolf 24 JS |

Sounds like you have an rPod 180. The 180qb is the model number of a KZ Sportsmen trailer. Hence the confusion. Anyhow welcome to the forum! ------------- 1994 Chinook Concourse 1995 RV6A Experimental Aircraft 2015 Rpod 179 - sold |

Welcome and enjoy the good life! We're on our second Rpod, mostly because I couldn't fit on the cross bed in our 179 - and the wife didn't like the wet bath. She loves the new one, and I like it, but the towing experience of the 179 was so nice. Keep us posted on your experiences, good and bad; you made a good choice!
