We purchased our first R-pod 179 in 2018 after retiring. Prior to that we had a pop-up camper we used for 2 seasons. We loved our cute R-pod but in 2019 when we saw the new 2019 R-pod 195, we knew it was a good model to trade up for...loved the bathroom and the pantry, the rest was pretty much the same as the 179. We finished up camping in 2019 in the 195 and used it all of 2020. At the end of our camping in 2020, we noticed a crack above the door outside. Thankfully it was still under warranty so it was fixed at no cost to us. While our camper was at the dealer, our friendly gal behind the parts counter suggested we look at the new 2021's coming out because of the new color scheme and fireplace. This was during covid19 so we had to make a fast decision and leave our 195 as a trade-in to get our name on the first #202 to arrive. It arrived 3/31/2021 and we absolutely love everything about it.

Congratulations on your 202. Wow, three different pods in a short amount of time! I am at the other end of the scale, 11 years with the same 177. It has been tremendously trouble free, and only have had one major expense over the years as the fridge had to be replaced (due to an ammonia leak) after it was almost 10 years old. Many miles under its tires and has been dependable, guess that is why we haven't made any model changes. Small, easy to tow, can take it into some really tight and back wood areas since we love to boondock.

Enjoy your new 202, make a lot of great memories as you camp this year.
