It has a versatile floorplan if you like to modify, and my wife and increasingly larger teenager fit with no issues (we do spend more time inside for the colder trips, so internal space was an issue.) However, it's also very nifty as is, too.

No regrets here.

Would love to see a pic of that mod!  Sounds perfect.

WHAT!!???

With the vaunted "spaghetti" function?? only occasional use??!!  lol.

This last trip down to Diamond Caverns we cooked inside twice.. a new record. Well 1 and a half times.. I used the cook top for part of a meal while the rest was done on the little Weber.. Our micro has still only "microed" popcorn and water. Baked biscuits and muffins and cookies etc..
 
Hehe, no we do "cook" in there and often.  Spaghetti, lots of baked goods, the occasional casserole, baked chicken and chops, stuff like that.  But we don't eat in there!  Just meant that we don't miss not having a dinnette to eat on because we cook our food and then head outside!  LOL

Recently bought a brand new 182G... almost new is still almost. There's no warranty on that one. There's 4 of us... myself, wife and DS8 and DD5. If it's raining, there's just enough room for all of us... otherwise, we're never outside... and the garage/grill area makes it very easy to stay outdoors.

Anyone want to trade a 181G for a like new RP-172 ??????????
 
 
Another thing is my wife and I never eat inside the Pod, unless it's freezing cold or we're just exhausted and don't want to be outside, sometimes we'll do something quick in the microwave.  But we knew we'd never be using a dinette, so the 181g not even having one was awesome.
 
It's marketed that the little half circle countertop next to the door is a little place to sit and eat at and they give you two stools that go under the counter.  But again we never eat in there and the times we have we've just hung out on the bed.
 
I like having the extra space just as space, it's very open inside and is just perfect for us!

The 18x models were the beginning/early 2011 models.  We were going to buy a 177 in Fall of 2010 but held out for spring 2011 to get the 181g.
 
Gotta say the 181g is the "perfect" two camper setup.  Lots of room for us inside, the closet is great, easy access to the bed and no large table in our way.
 
Couldn't be happier to be 2 people and 2 doggies in the 181g!

I have to agree with the others.  We just took delivery of a 2013 171.  Suits our needs perfectly.  I am curious however, did the seller take good care of the trailer.  Always a concern.  Anyway, good luck, welcome and Safe Travels.]]> Fri, 08 Jun 2012 20:28:56 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2636&PID=25010#25010 Helpful Input request : The hybrid models came out later,... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2636&PID=25005#25005 Author: techntrek

The hybrid models came out later, just like the slide-out models came out after the original line came out.  They announced the slide-outs the week after we signed for our 171.  We might have gone for a 177 (same layout) otherwise.  Its likely it wasn't out yet.]]> Fri, 08 Jun 2012 19:04:04 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2636&PID=25005#25005 Helpful Input request : I was poking around on the internet... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2636&PID=24989#24989 Author: dsmiths

I was poking around on the internet yesterday and was looking at the floor plan on a RP-181G, it seems to have a perfect layout for 2 old campers like Donna and Myself. Actually I am older than her by 2 years but I look younger, dont tell her I said that. anyway is the 181G a new floor plan, I think I would have bought that instead of our RP-172, I like the 172 but the 181G has the little eat in area on the left as you come in, the queen to the right and the slide out on the kitchen, and then the garage/Cook out?Hang out/clean fish etc. I guess if we ever get grandchildren the 172 would be better due to the dual bunks plus the dinette that makes a short queen. Man I like that 181G though.

Welcome.  I believe that is a good price for a 182G, I would expect a 171 of that age to go for about $10-11k.  You are right that there aren't many out there for comparison.

So my wife and I have owned a old school BASE pop-up for years.  No heat, no A/C no plumbing no anything, just a tent that's a pain to pitch!  Anyway, we've been casually looking at options for a while.  We have a kindergartner that want's to camp constantly now.  My wife has been somewhat reluctant because of the drawbacks of the popup.  Enter, friend with too many toys and the desire to hid himself of his 2011 182G. . . he's offering it to me for about 12K, it's in like new shape.  I'm not able to find much in the way of used 182G's for comparison.  Basically, I'm pretty sure that's a respectable price but what are your thoughts? You guys have a lot more experience than I in this sort to thing.Ouch
Thanks for the input!
Hopefully soon to be new owner of a 182G!
