Hello all, I'm a prospective first time Podder. I'm totally new to travel trailers or RV's, my only camping experience has been in tents or bivy bags. I'm looking at a 2010 175 and have the seller down to $8700. It looks like brand new and the seller claims to only have used it twice. Do you think this is a good deal? Thanks in advance for the replies. ------------- TV: 2014 RAM 2500 Cummins TT: pending |

I would if in the shape you say (like new) sounds like a good deal. I have a 2010 174 and paid more than that a year ago. Moe ------------- Jo and Gary, 2010-174,2011 F150

That sounds like a really good deal!! We just traded in our 2010 171 today and was given $10,000 in trade for it. ------------- Leo & Melissa Bachand 2017 Ford F150 2021 Vista Cruiser 19 csk Previously owned 2015 Rpod 179 2010 Rpod 171 |

That's a pretty fair price. We traded in our well used 175 a few months ago for about $1000 less than that. The only reason we didn't purchase another Pod was the space limitations were a little rough for my wife's physical problems.
The 175 is a nice little trailer if it fits your lifestyle, The only things we didn't care for during our four+ years of ownership were: 1. stepping up and down into the bathroom was tough for my wife, 2. Couch became too short to sleep our grandkids, 3. With the slide window behind your head her only view from the couch was me entering and leaving the bathroom, 4. The dual black/gray water dumps on the 175 are a real PITA, 5. Real poor mattress for us. The 175 was a nice, well built little trailer that we used the heck out of. I miss it more than the wife does. Oh Yeah, the postage stamp television was also a PITA for old eyes. P/S Are you really sure that your tow rig is up to the task? heh!heh! P/P/S Make sure it has or you get axle risers--These little suckers sit low! ------------- '10 RP 175-Replaced by 2014 Kodiak 173 QBSL '12 Toyota Tundra '05 Sportster (half a Harley) Retired-We're on Beach Time! |

| Your Ram 2500 should have no problems with this! I would crawl around the body underneath, check the corners well and seals all around it. Price sounds good, happy hunting! |
