Ok. Thank you. I went to the Forest River website and the photos of the R pods now do show a grey roof and front end as you have remarked.

How does the paint color fade since there hasn't been warm weather for some time? Interesting.


The blue roofs have been phased out of the R-Pod line starting with the most recent production run, they will all have the same diamond ice/greyish roofs now going forward.

Also ALL R-Pods now will have the 15" wheels on them, also starting with this most recent production run.

The Oregon made HRE Pods will have the grey roof and a yellow swoosh on the sides, the Indiana made R-Pods will have the blue roof and should be absent the yellow swoosh.

There are a very few limited, and I mean less than 5 probably HRE R-Pods that will have the blue roof on them.  They were the first ones made for the Forest River open house before production began in Oregon.

So if you're into collectors item's if you see an HRE with a blue roof or buy one of those yourself know that you have a rare Pod.

ANY R-Pod color scheme.... factory fresh or years old is great. To me, that runs from Cool Blue '17 to Techntrek's distinctive swirl pattern design, or a design I haven't spotted yet. Main thing is they all have the original rugged teardrop design with modern features that certainly revved up the copy-cat manufacturers.

It's currently feeling good to be in this Forest River subset of people who tend to help each other out. If I see a Podder somewhere out there struggling with some issue, I'm game to set out an orange cone or two, or just bring over a useful tool if desired. Plus we have this great online forum.

More often than not this season, I've received friendly waves back from the oncoming lane from a Podder, if they're looking. And it's also great to see young couples tugging their Pods, new and old down the road.

The season is close to "wound down" now, but come spring, it'll be once again time to explore some new nugget of Canada or USA that's new to us. Continued lower gas prices have been a nice bonus. Keep it safe out there, and if you've lowered your scissor jacks at a great spot, if you can, stay that extra day. Life goes by quickly.

From this near-newbie: Welcome 'Bama (and your Podpets).

 Why on the front of the r-pods on the right side have the full black stripe across the lower front and the ones on the left have a narrow stripe across the front?

Thanks for the photos.  I'm so bummed because it does not look like the R-Pods will be at the RV show we had planned on going to.   The only upside is I did find a dealer that is on our way to our tent camping spot so we may stop there.  I want to get inside of one so I can get a feel for it.   And "old" green one is better than nothing.   ]]> Sun, 02 Oct 2016 12:12:43 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8240&PID=83081#83081 New 2017 Colors : Thanks for sharing these photos!... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8240&PID=83041#83041 Author: birderdiane526

You have a problem with the link. You need to have it either http:// or https://, but not both. If you are pasting into the dialog box, you need to check and delete the https://. Use the dialog box drop-down to change the http:// to https:// if needed.

http://https://youtu.be/JvRxxM_OV0M then becomes http://youtu.be/JvRXxM_OV0M

If you are using the BBcodes on a tablet or phone, you will have the start and end tags URL /URL. Type the link between them like this: URLhttp://youtu.be/JxRXxM_OV0M/URL. I left the brackets off so that it will show up instead of getting converted to a link. It is not intuitive, but will be simple once you do it a few times.

When you are entering your message, look up at the icons on the bar above. Look for one that looks like a globe with a chain link. When you click on it, it opens a dialog box into which you can enter your link like this:
