Welcome!
We pull our 178 with a 2018 Santa Fe XL and it does quite well (although i don't know how much heavier the 190 is, but I'm sure its not signficant). I usually keep the Santa Fe in "Sport" driving mode so that it keeps the RPM a little higher between shifts and keeps it limited to 5th gear (stops it from "searching" between 5th and 6th all the time). We love our RPod, hoe you enjoy your's as well.

Welcome and congratulations! I hope you have many fun adventures and make many great memories doing so. We have enjoyed our 2016 RP179 very much. I've done a number of mods and am in the middle of another one now. I'll tell about i in my mods (link in signature) when I am done with it.

Hello,
We picked up our new 179 last Fall and we are looking forward to getting a lot of use out of it this Summer. We are empty-nesters who went through the progression from tent to popup to 30' bunkhouse camping with the kids. We got out of camping when the kids got busy in high school and now decided to get back into it. It is just the two of us and a 9 year old German Shepherd. Looking forward to learning a lot here on this forum. ![]() |

Sometimes evolution goes off in the wrong direction and bigger is Not better. Over the years..........Pop-up, to travel trailer, to 24' motorhome to truck camper(my fav, not the wife's), to a 33' motorhome and it was the the last straw. Nice, roomy, comfortable......but....TOO BIG. So we sold it and downsized to a Avalanche tow veh and a 2016 176T R-Pod...picked it up yesterday.
So now I have to sort through the 8 large black and yellow storage bins I bought to download the motorhome(way way too much 'stuff') and upload only the necessities to the R-Pod. Mods will be required such as switching out the single 12v to dual 6v batteries, adding roof top solar and a charge controller. Moving the spare tire from the bottom side of the queen bed tent bump out(makes the thing really heavy to set up) to under the trailer. Upgrading the mattress, and adding some storage here and there inside. Then it is off to the Grand Canyon and points north this spring. ![]() |
