Thanks Pilot Podder. I didn't see them when I was on Trader. sent messages for info. I will be leaving N NV on Monday and can get serious about going to see them. All will be a bit of a distance to drive but coming back could be a fun month of camping. Nov is still too hot in RGV(S. TX) so would make a great time. Besides, I have not been East of the Mississippi. That was going to be maybe two years from now. Wink

Very interesting floor plans that to my eye gives you a little more seating. The only down side might be that the bathroom is right next to where your sleeping and the limited room getting out of the bed, especially if your two in the bed.


Yeah, that seem a common complain about the design.

Hi all or now that I'm living in Texas...Hi y'all(is this the correct pronunciation?)
I'm new to this Forum and have been lurking a bit. Right now with the help of you good folks I have narrowed my R-pod search to the 171 or 172. I have acquired a 2004 Ford Explorer with that "little" factory hitch(1" ?). I would love to have a slide but not sure about the weight the Explorer will handle. Not wanting to push the limit a non-slide may be better. I currently have a 1992 Bounder and want to downsize. Full timed for 3 years, bought a small MH in an Alamo, TX RV park due to full knee replacement, and now want to get an RP to spend the summers in and do some fun boon-docking. Lordy it's hot and humid in the RGV during the summer.
I may even look at a 151 but that seems small(I have toys to take along Smile)

If you have a Pod for sale, please contact me. Is there a place to post "WANTED" messages?

Not sure how to post in the for sale section.

Thanks
Doug

Thanks for confirming that! These will be great options for those who want the dry bath.

Thanks for posting these links! I'm sure it's just me, but I can't discern any real difference between the 189 and 190 floorplans. The dinette area seems only slightly different, but maybe there's more to it than that. ???

I wish i could get that floorplan with bunks (like my 172) rather than the queen bed. I also wish they squared off the back end. they could add some overhead shelves if the roof wasnt rounded. even the 180 and 179 could pick up a little extra storage  up there.]]> Mon, 09 Oct 2017 12:34:56 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10763&PID=100682#100682 Newbie : Originally posted by PilotPodderThe... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10763&PID=100667#100667 Author: DavMar

Welcome.  We love our 180 (for the dry bath).  But before you make your move check out the new 189/190 that is coming out.  It has a dry bath on the side with a bigger seating area in the rear.  We have not seen it yet but it could be a winner.]]> Sun, 08 Oct 2017 08:52:25 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10763&PID=100605#100605 Newbie : Originally posted by GrantPHey,... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10763&PID=100589#100589 Author: DavMar

Ask away and welcome to the group! The wife and I love our 180 but it's all a matter of preferences and what you need. In our case the "boss" insisted on a dry bath even if it meant giving up on some living space. Besides other then the late evening hours we spend most of our time outdoors which I guess its why they call it camping? LOL
