The one thing we liked about the 179 was the "big" kitchen.  Gas mileage will be poor.  Flat ground- you might get 13.  Start looking for a station when you get to half.  Stay under 65.  Enjoy the trip.]]> Sun, 14 May 2017 14:52:05 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9949&PID=93238#93238 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9949&PID=93224#93224 Author: birderdiane526

Welcome.  Keep an eye open in the campers flea market under the general camping tab of this site.  I just checked, no 178's for sale but maybe in the future.  If the 178 were available when I purchased my 177 back in January 2011, that would have been my pick.  However the 177 suits me just fine.  Best wishes in finding the pod of your choice,  As far as mileage, most everyone, regardless of type, flavor, or vehicle get 12 to 14 mpg towing the pod.  The diesel will get slightly better, but then as a couple of individuals have stated, when towing a pod, you don't worry about mileage, enjoy the journey, God's creation, and the people you meet along the way.]]> Sun, 14 May 2017 05:34:07 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9949&PID=93204#93204 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9949&PID=93202#93202 Author: tkenjack

Hello, name's Tim and I'm currently living and working in Phoenix, AZ.  I'll be age 62 this year and retiring soon after.  I've been looking at A-frames, other TT's but I keep getting drawn back to r-Pods. I'm single and leaning towards the 178 with the u-dinette. I like the livability of that set-up because I'm strongly drawn to the Pacific Northwest, especially Oregon, so in inclement weather, I'll be comfortably kicking back 'on the sofa!  I've got a 1/2 ton GMC Sierra Ext Cab w/towing package. Truck only gets 17 mpg in the city now, so I do have concerns about how far this will drop when towing.  Plan (maybe) on keeping my house in Phoenix as a place to come back to, but also plan to travel whenever and wherever I feel like. I read an article recently about old dogs like me (children of the seventies) who, as a hobby, travel the country to see musicians (concerts) they like.  Thought of a VW bus (also from the seventies) but they cost more than an r-Pod!  Anyway, thanks for adding me to the forum. I'm sure I'll learn a lot from you all. If you have a HRE or lifted r-Pod 178 for sale please let me know. I realize I'm going to most likely travel out of state to get one - maybe you're in Oregon! Righteous. Safe Travels. ]]> Sat, 13 May 2017 22:59:35 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9949&PID=93202#93202
