It's about time someone broke out of the browns mode! Referring to the NoBo with it's gray interior. Or what I call "pewter" :-) So much easier to add a variety of accent colors (I sew so this is a thing with me). I realize there are lots of other new features as well with the NoBo but we're so in love with our 179 and I'm fixing the color thing by bringing in more blues. I wished our RPod a Happy Valentine's Day this morning (and to all of you & yours as well!). ]]> Wed, 14 Feb 2018 12:38:23 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9494&PID=104518#104518 Geo Pro an R-Pod alternative? : Hi, I considered the smallest... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9494&PID=104469#104469 Author: PodBarb

Hi, I considered the smallest GeoPro my first choice, but bought a Rpod 171. Considerations were price, size, layout. Being a solo camper, I liked the narrow width, avoiding extra car mirrors, the longer trailer cabin, and the always bed of the 171. I probably would have gone with the GeoPro if I hadn't run across a 171, which were not readily available in my area. Happy camping!]]> Mon, 12 Feb 2018 13:49:01 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9494&PID=104469#104469 Geo Pro an R-Pod alternative? : Ron I will stay in touch, will... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9494&PID=104465#104465 Author: Leo B

Ron I will stay in touch, will have questions and will be interested in your opinion.

It looks like a dealership near Burlington VT will have some of the NoBo's  going to check and swing up an take a look. It does have a lot of the changes/improvements that I would be looking for.

Everything looks like an R-pod+, including indoor outdoor shower and kitchen sink.

I agree Leo I'm waiting to see if my dealer is going to be a NOBO dealer. So far I have not seen a NOBO at the dealer.

Are you still thinking of an Alaska trip? I am probably going again in 2019.

The Rockwood Geo looks like a very nicecamper, I like the white interior. All campers have compromises. The RockwoodGeo is 11” wider than the R-pod which gives more room and different floorplanoptions but may be harder to see around. It is challenging to get into camping,we have preconceived idea on what will work for us but really don’t know until weget into it.

Downside is there are not many out there and the RPOD has the largest owner community which would have been great resource for support and information.


You need to get what you want.  It looks like a good rig.  The only thing I see that resembles an off road package is mud tires.  I doubt it is much good really off road.  RPods aren't either.

You might look at the No Boundaries by FR.. built in the same plant as the Pod.. I suspect it will have a strong community in the future.

The picture looks like it can have either a bed or the murphy bed, but I don't see anything in print to support that.


I do believe the murphy bed is standard on the 19FD.

Had a chance to see one in person at a recent RV show and came away impressed.]]> Mon, 20 Mar 2017 11:09:52 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9494&PID=89522#89522 Geo Pro an R-Pod alternative? : It is nice to see something that... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9494&PID=89516#89516 Author: StephenH

Hello.

Has anybody considered the new Rockwood Geo Pro as an alternative to the R-Pod?

http://www.forestriverinc.com/travel-trailers/rockwood-geo-pro

Specifically I am comparing an R-Pod 180 to a Geo Pro G19FD.

The Geo Pro is a little heavier, but the Murphy bed seems like a great idea.
