Thanks for sharing those photos with us! At the February RV show in Boise, the dealer hadn't even seen one yet, so it's nice to have a preview - pretty cool unit!]]> Thu, 15 Mar 2012 00:45:09 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2385&PID=22953#22953 Quad Pod - New Dbl axles : Thanks for the pics, perfect!... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2385&PID=22946#22946 Author: techntrek

Thanks for the pics, perfect!  I love the roll-up bunk, that is a great change to the lineup.  Hopefully they extend it to the other models.

I didn't get back to the factory in Dallas, OR to take some pictures of the new quad pods, but we did get to the Portland Expo Center for an RV show, and lo and behold, there it was all set up, complete with a quad. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring the DW's new fancy dslr camera, so the shots are a little iffy, having come from my phone, sorry!  Embarrassed
 
 
 
Notice the new, black spoiler on the back and lights on spoiler and fenders.
 
 
It is a Hood River Edition, and the decals look to be the same.
 
 
"Made in Oregon", is what the sign on the inside of the door says.
 
 
Interior of this model has queen dinette in front...
 
 
...and bunks in the back. Notice the top bunk "rolls up", allowing for extra seating. We have the 172, which has bunks, but they don't fold or roll up, so the bottom is not very comfortable to sit on. This is a Mod that I have wanted to do for a while.
 
 
 
That front is perfect for toys, bikes, extra storage, etc.
 
 
The new ultra lightweight toy hauler.
 
 
 
 
Double axles with shiny chrome rims.
 
 
It's hard to see the jet black AC on top in most of the pictures. Antenna is also black.
 
 
 
Sorry, I didn't get the model number or dry weight of the pod. If I recall correctly, the DW was around 4400lbs.

My opinion is that it would look like overkill on the wheels as well as funny.  As small is the pod is, one axle looks just fine and probabaly works just as well.]]> Thu, 23 Feb 2012 09:41:35 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2385&PID=22518#22518 Quad Pod - New Dbl axles : My guess is that it would look... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2385&PID=22517#22517 Author: tpierce220

I moved this over to the Reviews section since this isn't "off topic". 
 
Way cool, but it will be really hard to get enough weight on the tongue if you aren't carrying a load in the basket.

Oregon is one of the States that caters to ORV's in some of their State Parks - go to Honeyman Memorial by the Oregon Dunes in Summer and you'll see wall-to-wall toy haulers, ATV's etc.,.  So many logging roads too - makes sense these show up in Oregon first? ]]> Sun, 19 Feb 2012 13:11:09 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2385&PID=22472#22472 Quad Pod - New Dbl axles : It's interesting.

It's interesting.  I don't seem to see a lot of the "Toy Haulers" (of any make) when camping.  But, I usually camp in developed campgrounds.  I like the idea of a "patio".  It might make a good place for an EZ Up and a couple of chairs.

Awesome, a pod with a balcony! If I trade in my pod, this is the one I'd get.
Can't wait till they make one like this with the outdoor kitchen.

Saw this while surfing today - a toy-hauler cage mounted in front of the Pod, tandem axles ... otherwise much the same?

Great for the motocross or quad riders out there I guess.
