What I liked about the Rpods was some quality features ... like aluminum welded frame, one piece
fiberglass roof from back to front, black tank flush,
light weight, and overall design.

i was able to find that the rpod 180 2017 model sells in az for $18,464.00.

think i could talk them down about $1,000

basically thats $2000 more for a rpod 2017 compared to the starcraft

In addition to what furpod has posted I would only add that suddenly everybody is trying to copy the R-pod.  There are reasons for this no doubt but if others are copying it then take a hard look at what is being copied.  There will be some differences but overall, for the price point, the Pods are a well constructed unit that will hold up.   I would also suggest that there is a reason there isn't that many used Pods to be had.]]> Wed, 12 Apr 2017 12:33:31 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9682&PID=91067#91067 deciding between 2 TT?!?!

Have you researched the satellite on the Web? Even though it is new, there might be some feedback about it, videos, etc. The pod has set the example for a sudden influx of lookalike trailers. From what I've read the pod seems to be the best construction. We own a 2016 179.]]> Tue, 11 Apr 2017 20:14:25 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9682&PID=91030#91030 deciding between 2 TT?!?!

i agree with everything you said.  I just wanted to get as many opinions as i could about either brand.  Even if it was a different year.  I really dont know where else to go to ask people.

when you say "lower among other things" what are the other things.  do starcrafts just fall apart? is it worth spending the extra money on the used Rpod?


No one knows how the Starcraft is going to hold up, it's only been out a couple months. Pods have been out nearly a decade now. They hold up well if taken care of.

shop around a little on the net and you can find a new r-pod 180 with a full bath for around the same price as the starcraft]]> Tue, 11 Apr 2017 19:06:00 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9682&PID=91024#91024 deciding between 2 TT?!?!

Well.. you are on an FR R-Pod forum. Needless to say, no one here has owned both, since the Starcraft came out about a month ago. And it's a forum dedicated to the R-Pod. Since the Starcraft is a copy, they can sell cheaper due to lower, among other things, marketing costs. They are stepping into a market already established by FR.You will have to decide on your own if one is better then the other, esp. construction wise, since you are one of the first people making the comparison for purchase.

so i have been looking at these 2 brands 

the forest river Rpod 2015 179  ($14,995)

http://rv.campingworld.com/rv/1403078


this is in great shape,  and used ones are very hard to find.  I have only seen 2 in the 1 year or more i have been looking.  Biggest negative is the bathroom inside the shower.  


 
the starcraft satellite 17rb 2017   ($15,500)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gkkNGAMYis  


I like the star craft because of the full bathroom, big storage areas, WIFI upgrade, and not to mention the 2 year warranty. Also it is brand new 



these are the 2 TT i am looking at very hard.  I just dont want to make a bad choice, and regret my purchase.  I really would love some feedback on either of these 2 trailers.  I want to purchase this week if possible.  To me, both seem to be the same exact trailer, except the starcraft is brand new and has a full shower.  why is it so cheap new? not built as well? fall apart quicker than the rpod?  i would be buying a extended warranty with both anyway.  i am pulling with a 2007 titan Nissan so that is no problem either way. is there something i am missing?


input would be awesome thank you!
