Hi All,

I am planning on hitting the road again this summer and feel I must trade up to something a bit bigger than the Rons-Pod. I love my 2011 R-Pod 171 and hate to let it go but, for the long term it's just a bit too small for me.

Its got about 10K miles on it. Mostly from a single US tour trip I made in the summer of 2010. Phoenix Arizona up to Yellow Stone then across the US to Connecticut with stops at Devlis Tower, Mt. Rushmore, The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. And then back via the southern route seeing Grace Land and the vast expanse that is Texas, across New Mexico and finally back to Arizona and the Valley of the Sun.

I traveled the road with my cat Kiri so if you are allergic to cats this is not the trailer for you. Also Kiri at one point decided one of th dinette seat cushions would make a good scratching post; did very minor damage. Some double stick tape used for aversion training and the incident was not repeated.

Other than the above mention incident with said cat and a bit of fading from the Arizona sun the R-Pod is in very good shape.

It comes with all the base upgrades and standard equipment from the factory:

A/C
Microwave/Convection
2 Burner Stove
Refrigerator
DVD/Radio/TV
R-Dome (setup only one time)
Spare tire and rear mount for it.
30amp electric hook up cable,
Two water hoses (one of them for grey water).
Factory stabilizer jacks all four corners.

My Upgrades:

Bed-in-a-Box Queen RV Memory Foam mattress. More comfortable than the bed I now have at home.
Mirror over sink.
Riser kit, really helps with clearance on rough roads.
Dual Optima Yellow Top batteries.

I had the wheel bearings repacked before the start of my big trip after reading about issue with cheep grease used during original manufacture. Mechanic at the time thought it unnecessary but I wanted no problems out on the road. Cheep insurance in my mind.

I have had many grand adventures with in the fun little trailer. Where will the Pod take you?

$9450 or best reasonable offer and the Pod is yours.

If you are not local, I will deliver within a 2 hour drive of Gilbert Arizona, serious Buyers only!
As I am sure you can understand it is up to you to arrange transport anywhere outside this range.

Thank you,
-Ron-
