I am sure that he price to have this forum is a factor. The f150forum may have some form of sponsorship that pays the bills. If a sponsor were to show up who would pay the bills to allow photo hosting again, then it might be possible to post them directly again. Until then, the workaround of using a photo sharing site is likely the best available option. However, I am not an administrator, so I am speculating. Confirmation as to whether my speculation is accurate or way off-base would have to come from an administrator.

Rv inspection is 200 so we agreed on splitting it. Getting the trailer for 12,900 this week! I think that seems fair for a hood river edition considering the other used ones I've been seeing.

I have looked at a local dealer and told them I was looking it a used one. They said their bottom dollar was 19,500 for a 178 HRE. Maybe I'll call around little. Maybe difference is of zip code? I noticed the list price on these is 24,500 at the dealer! Anyway, update on the used one.. seller will take 13k and I deal with the radio being broken and maybe pay to have a rv dealer do an inspection on the whole unit. ]]> Mon, 03 Apr 2017 13:41:56 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9607&PID=90419#90419 Almost have an rpod but.. couple questions first! : Danielw1, Where are you located?... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9607&PID=90410#90410 Author: StephenH

Danielw1,

Welcome aboard. Point of reference, I bought a very slightly used 2015 178 (non HRE) for 12500, been awhile. I would work the negotiation, you're pretty close to new price at some dealers.]]> Mon, 03 Apr 2017 07:27:13 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9607&PID=90405#90405 Almost have an rpod but.. couple questions first! : I like that model the best but... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9607&PID=90401#90401 Author: Danielw1

Hood River edition trailers are built at the Oregon Plant and have a 3" riser at the axle, which puts the trailer higher. I bought the RP-180 2017 Green Model Rpod at Iowa in September,2016 for $14,800 new. Love it.

Wow...Hmm. Value is sooooo hard to do on the internet...so many variables. 
Storage pretty much sux on all small camp trailers, especially the RPOD. 
It's but just one of the trade-offs for going light. 
There are things that can be done to enhance storage. You won't really have a good idea what those are until you camp in it a few times. 
Good Luck! Smile

There is a little under the bed and I see you can access the underneath storage through the dinnette, that may work for the kids bags but what does everyone think? Also, the only issue I saw with this unit is a tree limb hit it towards the front (not on roof) and they did a small fiberglass repair. He said it didn't leak and I'm thinking that may be a in to get a good deal. Other issue is the radio didn't turn on, not a huge deal but I would like everything to function for that price! Thanks

You can look up the value of the used one with NADA Guides or RV Trader. That should give you an idea as to whether the used 178 is a good value or not. As for storage, we have the 179, so I can't help you there. I would be concerned with the damage. Was it repaired properly? As for the radio, it might be a fuse or it might be an unplugged wire or it might be a bad unit. Check into the cost of a replacement unit. If the seller can't get the current one to work, it may be a point of negotiation to adjust the price.
