Yes, a short-lived experiment by FR, I haven't seen one in person. No mention of them on the current floor plan list.

Since I don't have toys to haul it kind of looks like the worst of both worlds to me. I do line the dual axle though. ------------- Keith-N-Dar Boris & Betty (Boston Terriers) 2011 R-Pod 177 2010 Ford F-150 |

I thought it was an interesting look. Kind of felt like it goes against the feel and vibe of the Rpod as a whole though. ------------- 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 |

I agree with the KyMooses. it is kind of like taking a 1962 VW beatle and putting a 427 V/8 in it and a sunroof and a vinyl top and chrome crager wheels. It takes away from what the original concept was. ------------- Dane and Donna Smith 2011 RP-172 2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer 4X4 lift kit prodigy wireless brake controller |

I see that they have a tent popup and and hardside popup in the flagstaff line with the same front deck design though. ------------- Sean, 2011 Rpod RP-173,2009 Jeep Liberty Rocky Mountain Edition

A guy up the road from me has a trailer for his stock car with a pop-up in the front kind of like the Quad Pod in reverse. It has been for sale for a couple of years... ------------- Keith-N-Dar Boris & Betty (Boston Terriers) 2011 R-Pod 177 2010 Ford F-150 |

Very odd. As pointed out for the pods, that just goes against the reasons you would buy a popup in the first place (truly aerodynamic, lightweight). 5th wheel toy haulers make sense, but pod or popup toy haulers, no. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual
