At 6'7", you should go to a dealership and spend some time, like a couple hours in a pod.. It's going to be cramped.
Really.
The RV queen bed is only 74" long.. you are 79" long, and yes, I know you know this, but you really need to double check you are comfortable in that space, and can deal with the bed. Corner to corner works, as long as you stay single and dogless... Then there WILL be issues. I am only 6'1", and it was a close thing for us at first. It helped that I was in the Army on tanks for 20 years.. I had a "big guy in small space" mindset already.. get in the bathroom, stand at the stove top, etc...

And welcome to the group. I promise we all want to see you a happy podder, but we want to see you a happy camper first..

Howdy everyone!

 

I’m sure glad I found these forums. In the next few months,I’ll be buying a 2019 179 or 180 (still debating). Like so many other postsI’ve seen, I’m brand new to everything owning a camper involves.

 

Here’s a bit about me and why I want an RPod. I’m a single,40 year old guy, living in Oregon. 60 days ago I had a roux en y gastricbypass. My #1 goal after getting to a healthy weight is to CAMP. Maybe I’mbiased, but my home state offers a bit of every type of camping, and I wanna beout in it. Due to my weight, I haven’t been tent camping in over 10 years, andI miss being outside. I will struggle to fit in any camper, cause I’m 6’7.

I’ve never owned a truck or an SUV, and my only towingexperience is a few summers bailing hay in high school. I towed my bailer witha giant Kubota tractor. Oh, and I’ve driven a U-Haul a few times (I know that’snot towing, but it was a 26 footer, lol).

I have so many questions! I’ll be seeing you in the forums!
