Something a bit larger

I too wanted a slight upsize from my 177, looking for the same things you are.  I ended up getting a Forest River EVO ATS 200rd. It's been rebranded for 2017 as the Sonoma 201rd. I loved my Pod, but we really like the walk around bed and dry bath. The thing that sets this one apart is LARGE rear living windows. A lot of units this size have the bath at the rear and not many windows and I want to see out when I'm camping.

Originally posted by David and Danette    I like the Northwood and Outdoor rv's too, but then you have more weight and maintenance of four wheels. How about a Evergreen Ascend they were discontinued this year but there are still some new ones and used for sale.

I have stepped away from any orphan trailers. With Evergreen out of business, any product support is going to be iffy. They don't seem to have the network like podders do. We looked very very hard at the Element, the original one. It went OOP and I talked to them and they said it was coming back, and when it did, for a short time, it was just a SOB.

Have done some research on this. I like the quality of Northwood (Nash, Arctic Fox) and related company Outdoors RV (Black Rock, Creekside). Looked at Lance 1995 too but so much money! Know someone with a Rockwood Mini Lite 2104S for sale. Not the same quality as others mentioned but it could do the job.

I would vote for something with a tandem axle. My 19' Coleman is so equipped and, frankly, I don't know that I could GET the thing to sway, while going down the road. The down side is when it comes time to replace the (4) tires.

The Lance and Camplites are both nice and I'm envious. If only I were rich...like SOME of our forum members!
