My husband and I have narrowed it down to either a 180 or 190 - but we're interested in owners thoughts. While we like the U-shaped dinette in the 190, we're concerned that it will feel too closed in between the bathroom (on the side) and the kitchen. It's only the two of us traveling, so we don't necessary need to have the larger dinette.

Also - any input on west build units versus midwest build units would be appreciated! We hope to be official r-pod owners within the month!

I would have bought either, but found a 180, first. I like the 180's rear dry bath. With the slide out there is plenty of room for one to cook, while the other stays out of the way, LOL! I expect the 190 would be similar. When loading up for the first trip, I told the dog to "move!" so many times he jumped into the shower and just watched.

My dinette is/was fine for office work or eating, not much for comfort after a long day. I converted it to a couch (with extra cushions). In that way, a 190 may be a slightly better choice.

I love my 180 for my disaster work. It has been excellent and has given no trouble. It tows comfortably without any drama.

I like the openness of my 180. I like the 190, but to me, the bathroom being in the middle make it feel much more closed in and less open. I like that the dinette looks out onto my campsite.

I chose the 180 for the large bathroom, I looked at many models as I a a bigger guy I found that the 180 bathroom is perfect being very roomy.
