just discovered the rpod will be looking for one to buy soon. these things seem to be hard to find in the south. It looks like what I need to go camping in out of the way places here in Arkansas. ------------- gdonnell |

Welcome. Worked great for us when we visited Crater of Diamonds - we all took showers in the parking lot in our pod after digging in the dirt.

Welcome to the group! There is a dealer with R-Pods in Jacksonville, FL Well, it IS in the south after all. Good luck and I hope you can find one.Terry ------------- RP-175 W/Lift Kit 2011 Ford F-150 4X4 Saint Augustine, FL: The first permanent European settlement in the USA: 1565 |

One thing I've noticed about finding Rpods at any dealer is just to call and ask honestly. You'd be surprised how many smaller RV places are actually carrying them. Visiting friends in other states the past few years I've nearly laughed out loud while driving through friend's local cities and to see a lone RPOD on the lot somewhere. You might try the FR dealer locator to see if you can find local FR dealers. If they don't currently have an Rpod they could more than likely help you order one!! http://www.forestriverinc.com/DealerLocator/default.aspx?src=osrch - http://www.forestriverinc.com/DealerLocator/default.aspx?src=osrch ------------- 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 |

If you don't find a new one close to you, check on Craigslist. That is how we found our slightly used pod. ------------- Paige and Pete 2010 177 - RPug 2012 Rav (six cylinder) New York & Florida residents

| Hello.....I'm new to the group, but we found the one we liked through the Forest River website, then used their dealer locator to find one here in Pittsburgh. The timing was perfect since there was an RV show in town this past weekend and this week. We were able to look at several pods, and speak to a factory rep (Cody Shade) who was a wealth of information, before choosing the 2014 182-G. It's being built and should arrive in late April or early May. We are really excited about this one, there have been several changes in the new edition...LED interior lights, solar panel ready, pull down faucet sprayer and keyless entry! The party garage in the rear of this model was a big selling point for us...Larry & Annie |

We bought ours online from that guy in Ohio. Very professional dealings. Had it delivered to our driveway. Saved many $$$$. Check 'em out. A local FR dealer has handled all the service quite well. ------------- Larry and Debbie w/Rosie the mutt. Old: '13 177, '06 Silverado V6 New: '15 Whitehawk 20MRB '14 Silverado V8 |
