Hello forum members! We are new owners of a barely used 2010 r-pod 171. We have had it out one night so far and love it! I picked the name ModPod before I realized that modifications are called pod mods.
 Looking forward to learning from the pros! Kathy and Danny here! |

Welcome! Ours is the same model and was barely used when we bought it. It has served us well.
Enjoy! ------------- Chris and Walt '10 RP-171 'Free Spirit' '13 Dodge Durango Crew 5.7 L Hemi V8 |

Welcome, we have the same model and year. There are several get-togethers in the works if you are interested.

Welcome, from yet another member with a lightly used 171. Only been on one trip so far, but we enjoyed it. Happy travels.

Thanks podders!
The only reason I can think of that an rpod would be so lightly used is if a family with kids tried to camp in it!
 Just kidding, but I think it fits two people nicely. We are going to our first rpod roundup Labor Day weekend at a Weston Bend State Park only about 40 miles away, should be fun! |

Two kids and two adults in ours. Very cozy, but in a few years one or both might not want to camp anymore, and in 8 years both will be in college so I expect they'll be working their summers away. Eventually it will be just us two.
They are a little cramped on the dinette but someone here suggested building a platform, basically creating a temporary bunk. I might try that. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

My opinion..... Tight seating on the dinette makes for tight families! ------------- "What happens in the POD, stays in the POD." 2002 Dakota (pulling a) 2012 R-Pod 176T |
