Sometimes, less is more.

I have had one larger motorhome, and 3 or 4 smaller camper trailers, and they all have their pros and cons, but the smaller trailers don't 'dominate' the tow vehicle as much and it is much easier to maneuver and get where you want to go with less drama.

Enjoy!

Congratulations Walter and Laurie.  You will now be put to the test when it comes to downsizing that much, however it will be worth it in the end.  We even had that issue on a much smaller basis when we went from a 6 person Jayco pop-up (extended to 22') to a 177 back in 2011.  Even though the 177 measures at 18 ft, practically it is 15' as 3' of the a-frame in front counts for the total.  Hopefully you will enjoy smaller, simpler, and easier when it comes to enjoying your 196.

Good Memorial Day morning everyone. Walter and Laurie here. We just puchased a 2020 Rpod 196. We have always been in larger rigs and as we have gotten older we have found we take shorter trips for shorter times. We just sold our 32 foot Forest River Hemisphere in July and have been looking into purchasing a "couples camper" since then. We were lucky enough to find a 2020 Rpod 196 that had been traded in on a class C motorhome. I was able to speak with the previous owner before the purchase and he stated he only used it 2 times. I verified the rig was only 6 months old by paperwork left in rig. Guys, this rig is just like brand new and we were able to save thousands. We downsized because we had always had larger travel trailers and always found stopping at restaurants, gas stations and turning around for missed turns difficult. The previous owner had purchased an extended warranty for approximately $2,000 and this was transferred to me at no cost. I would like to invite everyone to visit the paradise we have been privilaged to live in for the last 22 years. Gulf Shores/Orange Beach, Alabama area. It is a super family friendly area. Happy trails to everyone!]]> Mon, 25 May 2020 09:41:04 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13576&PID=131537#131537
