I really love this new layout. The bed is not ideal but its great for this size and weight. At least you dont have to convert a dinette every night. Love the rear kitchen. No wet bath, yeah! Pleasing interior design. It's a winner!
Thanks PJ! Like this one and only feedback would be a twin bed layout offering! Love to see the acrylic window and think all manufacturers should be using these as well as tankless hot water. Way to go Forest River! We owned 2 Roo’s in the past 😉
I have always liked the R-Pods layout, and really like the models that have the outdoor kitchens. Sadly, Forest River builds these things with the cheapest of materials, and finding one that doesn't leak like a sieve, or has any longevity is rare.
It comes with EVERYTHING standard, but the backup camera and ladder are extra? What the hey? I also don’t like to do deep knee bends to use the microwave/convection oven. And what about closet space? If they’d put a shirt closet at the base of the bed that would be great.
Privacy shades and screens should be reversed. The privacy shades should pull up from the bottom. That way you have privacy and airflow if you leave it a few inches down from the top.
Nice trailer but No Slide Out. My R-Pod 180 has more room because of the slide out and a much bigger bathroom with lots of leg room. This would be a nicer trailer if it had a slide out. Price is fair.
Great layout except for the bed. Who ever is on the edge of the bed will have to deal with the other person climbing over them every night so they can use the bathroom.
PJ's videos are too long, 25-30 minutes long! But, I always end up watching the whole video. PJ is so engaging and comprehensive that I don't even notice 30 minutes has passed.
Looks like it has the standard axles. Where does the battery go? Out on the tongue? Can you add another solar panel or replace the 100W with a bigger one?
Hopefully Forests River are installing all the bolts in the AC unit now. I purchased a 2018 RP-180 and it leaked around the AC unit because it only had 2 of the 5 major bolts installed. The build quality was crap on unit I purchased. I did not buy from this dealer.
"prefect" all right... except for a) climbing over the other person to get out of the bed b) fridge opens in the wrong direction (DOH!) c) micro on the floor is very... ummm... d) sink is super tiny e)remove sink from bathroom and make toilet more centered to give you more room for what you need to do in the bathroom... wash hands and brush teeth in kitchen sink which should be twice the size. f) why no free ladder? g) no price included because it is OVERPRICED for sure... LOL..
Everything bangs into each other. The fridge and cabinets. it would drive me nuts to hear and then see the results of all those door bangs. Honestly thought she put a dent in the fridge.
Nice starter trailer, but lost me with microwave being almost on the floor. That looks lower than most other ones. A better place would've been the cabinet space right beside fridge or even above the sink. Yeah just swap them. I wouldn't mind if it hangs a little lower than a cabinet would & takes up some of the open space above the counter. I'd rather that than the microwave being so low. And why don't most TT/RVs use microwaves with vents. Then they could go above the stove. That really would've been perfect for this RPod
These are not for everyone…our first camper the bed was like that..of course in those days crawling over each other was fun…these are small affordable campers and that is the only way to add extra space…just because you don’t want one does not mean that nobody will want one….we have great memories of our first small camper…would not trade those days for anything….
Very nice love the see through cabinets and counter top space

Agreed
Best RV reviews on the Internet. Hands down.

An ideal RV for a solo camper!!👏👏👏

Yep. And materials matter since almost every trip down the road is like your trailer experiencing an earthquake
Totally agree. That is why I have An Intech Sol Dawn. Top quality
extraordinary little trailer. Truly useful featuers. amazing use of space. EFFICIENT

I LOVE this one.. Except I need hanging closet space..beautiful otherwise!!
We’ve had a RPod 195 for over 5 years and love it!
This is my Most Favorite #RPod194
Do any of these new Rpods come with twin beds?. We can't crawl over each other due to a car accident.
Love the R-Pods, I'm on my 4th year with a R-Pod 192, couldn't be happier with our decision to get it.
Like it a lot. But would like a bigger square sink in kitchen.
I prefer beds in the back of the trailer for more privacy and quiet.
X2 👍
Nice trailer but No Slide Out. My R-Pod 180 has more room because of the slide out and a much bigger bathroom with lots of leg room. This would be a nicer trailer if it had a slide out. Price is fair.
2 burners…one for the past and the other for the sauce!💕
Great layout except for the bed. Who ever is on the edge of the bed will have to deal with the other person climbing over them every night so they can use the bathroom.
1 pop out...would have made this perfect
Glad you pulled out the blue vac bag! It showed how far back the closet really goes! Love ya, PJ!
I'm wondering if one of those shelves folds up like on Ember or comes out so you could hang some clothes
PJ's videos are too long, 25-30 minutes long! But, I always end up watching the whole video. PJ is so engaging and comprehensive that I don't even notice 30 minutes has passed.
I agree. I enjoy listening to her, I find her voice soothing, and inviting. The best RV host on TH-cam.
Looks like it has the standard axles. Where does the battery go? Out on the tongue?
Can you add another solar panel or replace the 100W with a bigger one?
how much is it
That is a nice camper!!!
Is there an option for a smaller bed for those who would prefer one?
I'm not fond of stapled cabinets. The rest of it is okay depending on whether it's wood or aluminium framing.

The Big window in front is the escape window. No worries
The drop isn't as far there either 😅
My thoughts exactly!
Why was the sheet dirty on the bed. Oh I know you had your shoes on the bed.
It would be nice to have a couple of pull out drawers in that open space under the bed for clothing.
You could always add that feature yourself.
You could always add that feature yourself.
Bad location for microwave. Plenty of room to have it located above countertop like normal trailers. Other than that nice little kitchen area.
Can you add an extra 100 of solar?
I would have a great time redesigning this mess of a trailer!

More than 5,000 pounds loaded and wet. Too much on one axle.
내부의 구조가 매우 안정되고 합리적으로 배치되어 피로감이 없는 굉장히 좋은 다자인.
very nice, is there a solar plug on the out side

Great.

Price
You go to website, can't find it either 😒
Hate this they never say $$$$
I suppose another lippert frame waiting to crack
❤️🧙♀️
STOP making campers with those beds. Men have to crawl over their wives at night and it is no BUENO
Amen brother!
Your right
Twin beds please!
These are not for everyone…our first camper the bed was like that..of course in those days crawling over each other was fun…these are small affordable campers and that is the only way to add extra space…just because you don’t want one does not mean that nobody will want one….we have great memories of our first small camper…would not trade those days for anything….
Anyone who has a smoke shop of a wife doesn’t mind climbing over her
Please ur trying to hard . You’re talking too much. Had to fast forward most of it ….
The microwave is too low 1 bad back 2 knee surgery 3 arthritis 😊
Part of it is that you're a very small woman.
That's a daybed 😢
Thanks for the review. Friendly advice... it's s rude to climb in a bed thats not yours with shoes\sandals on.
I agree but it's a model 🙄
