Check out the Edge by Heartland.  We saw it the RV show and at one of our local dealers.  Very nice TT

It has an "EPDM" roof (whatever that is???) according to an ad by a Dealer on Ebay.  Also has wood framed walls.
 
They are interesting and seem to be priced about 2K less than the Pod.  
 
I am wondering if FR would sell me the "Pup" decal.....it looks like my dog.  Smile

I just noticed the Wolf Pup has a 76 inch interior compared to the rpod's 78 inch. Since John is 6'2" (75 inches) that extra room in the pod allows him to clear the A/C.
When we were shopping the interior height was one of the most important specs for us- not too many have the height of the r pod.

Thought so.  I really liked it for the additional room and standard queen size bed.  When we saw the Rpod it was exactly what we wanted.  We wanted bunks but didn't want the larger TT's to get them.  The hitch weight was an issue with the Coyote, even tho it was fine for our Pathfinder.  The coyote was our first ever TT and we didn't know what to look for.  The small black tank was an issue when not hooked up to sewer, and a bigger problem if you were boon docking somewhere.  That is what we liked about the R-pod...bigger holding tanks.  The table in the Coyote was VERY heavy when you wanted to switch from bed to table.  The best thing about the Coyote was the extra width, and the cute coyote decalLOL]]> Sat, 13 Feb 2010 20:16:00 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1083&PID=9636#9636 Wolf Pup by Forest River : Originally posted by yizit Originally... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1083&PID=9632#9632 Author: Guests

Sorry for the delay in my reply.  I don't often go back and check for posts that were "bumped", as I am usually here every day anyway and assume that I don't miss any.
 
Yes, that is it!  I still have the brochure on it.  The Dry Hitch Weight is listed as 362lbs.  Throw in propane, batteries and stuff in the front storage and I can see it easily approaching or exceeding 500lbs.  My TV at the time was a CMC Canyon (smaller truck) and I thought it was just too much tongue weight. (My new truck would easily handle it)
The UVW with options is listed at 2655lbs. - which is only about 300lbs. more that my RP173....not bad.
I really, really liked the traditional awning and it "felt" more roomy inside.  Had it not been for the limitations of my TV, it would probably be sitting in my driveway now.  It's a nice camper and a good value IMHO.

I contacted Safari and was told they don't yet have a license to do business with the U.S. so if you are American you cannot buy one. I guess if you had legal residence in Canada you could.
Over my budget right now anyway but maybe some day.  They said they hope to have American dealers at some point not specified.  ]]> Sat, 06 Feb 2010 14:40:26 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1083&PID=9526#9526 Wolf Pup by Forest River : They won't sell to Americans,... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1083&PID=9495#9495 Author: techntrek

I personally think the Alto Safari from Canada is "perfect."  It has a king sized bed.  wow.
It is also expensive (light weight tho) and if you're American you can't get one.  Unhappy

David, that's what we had and we traded it in for the R-pod.  Bought the Coyote in August and traded it in February for the Pod.  The price for the coyote was reasonable.  The tongue was heavy, and it felt very roomy inside because of the extra width (loved the full queen size bed tho).  We wanted the bunks for storage and a place to sit.  Not to mention we really liked the look of the R-pod.  The bad thing about the coyote were the small holding tanks.  Black was only 11 gals.  If you gotta have something that small then they should put in a cassette potty.  Those are easier to dump.  ]]> Wed, 03 Feb 2010 20:00:00 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1083&PID=9443#9443 Wolf Pup by Forest River : Originally posted by yizit Is... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1083&PID=9434#9434 Author: Guests

If there is, I have not seen it.  It is fun to look, however.  Before I bought my Pod I looked at a 13' Coyote and the price was very reasonable.  However, it was a little too wide and tongue heavy.  With no "co-pilot", mirror vision is especially important for me.

I agree the weight is more then we were looking for.  We wanted something light and small, altho a real queen size bed would have been great.  Our last TT, KZ Coyote Sport, had a full size queen bed..great.  But with that extra width we had to have bigger mirrors too.  Is there really a perfect trailer out there????]]> Tue, 02 Feb 2010 22:15:46 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1083&PID=9433#9433 Wolf Pup by Forest River : "alum sided...prob wood not... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1083&PID=9431#9431 Author: Guests

"alum sided...prob wood not alum framing"
 
 
Admin - Party pooper!  I think I like the other Doug better.  LOL
 
If I didn't already have a Pod, I would want to see this.  It looks to be maybe 4" wider???  Not sure if I would gain a whole lot, but would still like to see one.  7' wide would be about ideal for me.  The Pup is supposed to be 79" vs. the pod's 75" (I think).
 
There are just way to many campers to choose from.  Smile

I noticed a gross vehicle weight of more than 3,800 lbs.  I bought my R-Pod because I
wanted a light-weight TT. Getting ready to travel (gear, etc.) would start to get the weight
up 4000+.  With a Class 3 rating of 5,000 lbs (300 tongue) on my TV, I would start to worry about
having to buy a much larger tow vehicle to have a safe towing rating.

Wow!  The Wolf Pup T17P looks darned interesting.  It has the same floorplan as my RP173 - but a little wider and a standard awning.  As an added bonus, it has a decal that looks like my dog!

Has anyone else heard about the new Wolf Pup by Forest River?  Not only are their competitors copying their fantastic r-pod idea.  But it looks like they are extending the idea (in a similar way) to other lines within the Forest River family.  Some of those floorplans look very familiar!!!  Wink
