Awesome man! This combination of truck and trailer is excellent. I actually like not having a full size truck for every day driving so it’s great there are trailers made that can be pulled easily with a mid-size.]]> Thu, 08 Nov 2018 20:14:29 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12382&PID=117951#117951 Can I join the club? : Swap that trailer out for an R-POD... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12382&PID=117761#117761 Author: CraigTRD

Judging by the pictures...…

I think you did OK!    It looks good.

Much, if not most, of what is discussed here on the forum could be applicable to virtually any travel trailer, from any manufacturer. For instance - if you have a water heater, it is probably a Suburban or Atwood. Though Pods use Suburbans, my present rig has an Atwood. It is quite similar - there is only so many ways to make a water heater.

The dogs are great! One of the main reasons I like my rig is that I can take mine with me travelling.

Those pups are going to have a blast, ours does. Every time I take him out of the house for a walk he takes me over to the rPod door and looks up at me like I must be an idiot. ]]> Sun, 04 Nov 2018 13:57:34 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12382&PID=117693#117693 Can I join the club? : That's nice. http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12382&PID=117690#117690 Author: crw8sr

The interior looks to be almost exactly the same as our R-pod 180.

These are not the best images of the interior, but they are all I have at the moment. They are from when we brought it home.

I am already making plans to take advantage of that little bit of extra space.

After looking at the Starcraft and the Pod very closely, there is very little difference on the outside. I can only assume the same goes for inside the walls also.

Thanks for the warm welcome! I don't doubt the loyalty in here one bit. The reason we even have copies of the R-Pod is due to the super popularity of them. To be fair, it came down to the Starcraft or a Pod and the dealer with the Starcraft tried just enough harder to get us to sway that way.

So, I don't technically have an R-Pod. My wife and I purchased one of the knock-offs. A Starcraft Satellite to be exact. It is the 17RB, which is a copy of the R-Pod 180. I have been browsing this forum for tips and tricks as most things are backwards compatible due to such similarities in the models. 

The wife and I absolutely love the model. We downsized/upgraded from a 2007 Puma 19FS that just had a terrible layout for us, but it was our first foray in to the RV world and it got us hooked.
