How many generations of R-Pod graphics have there been? We see the colorful circular swirls on Tech's pod in his signature, and Thinker has a similar signature showing the latest version, which is the same as ours. I have seen the sort of horizontal lines with the diagonal slash and the peeking frog on Gypsy Edie's trailer. Are there any others? (Not an earth-shattering question- just curious....)  ------------- Bob and Joyce Jennifer and Baxter, the Campin' Cocker Spaniels RP 177 "Key Pod" Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT / Z71 |

Should be 3 now. The famous colored Olympic Rings. The frog decals and the new yellow/green colors. These had the horizontal lines and some fading treeline silhouettes on places in yellow. And the ones you're seeing on Pods now, the more green swirlys with more new frogs on them! ------------- https://calendar.google.com/calendar?cid=cnBvZC5zcG90dGVyQGdtYWlsLmNvbQ - RPod Rallies https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=1W1foQXGtrjf8aYly1uh0b-bHPfI&hl=en_US - RPod Owner Map |

When was the first model of RPods made? We just got ours, 2013 178 and hope to go next weekend somewhere but am wondering what year they were "hatched".

2009 was the First Model Year - That year and 2010 I believe also had an option for White Cabinets and a wood grained floor. Less than 5% of the pods were ordered this way so they dropped the option of the White. I have an early 2009 171 with white cabinets that we ordered right after the new years. |

They also didn't have slides at first... that and the kitchen in the end area was what kept us out of them after seeing them for the first time.

Donna and I made ours a 2011 and 1/2 I ordered the frog decal for about $28.00 and put it on the right rear of the rear glass, its kind of peeking around the corner, it just makes ours a little different, it has the olympic rings on the sides. ------------- Dane and Donna Smith 2011 RP-172 2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer 4X4 lift kit prodigy wireless brake controller |

The Winter has dragged on for so long, I can't remember what pattern ours has; but I know we've got the little frog.

Once we saw the white cabinets on a Surveyor, I fell in love with it, while Greg said it looked like his mom's kitchen  . However the dealer then talked us out of it as he said it yellowed and aged really quickly. Now, we're not sure if he was just trying to sell what he had on the lot or if the white really does look bad after a few years since there are so few r.pods out there in that colour. The white seemed to have really made a difference in making the space seems brighter and bigger. ------------- ChaiPod 2009 RP152 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe 3.5L V6 |

| Our 2009 171 with white cabinets have not yellowed at all. Does open it up a lot. Every so often we think about selling ours but hang on to it. |
