Richie Report post Posted May 10, 2016 I found a smokin deal on a like new 2015 model yesterday. Thinking about pulling the trigger on the 178 model. I've been looking at a smaller travel trailer that I can get into the backwoods with and my searching keeps taking me back to this model. Any experiences or input on this model or other trailers I should be lookin at would be much appreciated. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tjhunt2 Report post Posted May 10, 2016 Looks nice Richie but how are you going to pull your side x side when you buy it? TJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richie Report post Posted May 10, 2016 Very good point. I guess it will have to be two trips or my wheels will be my boots when I take this out which I am 100% ok with. I feel like that's always going to be a tough decision when going out..tent..no tent? Trailer...no trailer? Do I bring side x side or not? Do I need to take my boat?? Tough desicions in my life...lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cell4soul Report post Posted May 10, 2016 I have the R-Pod 179 model and like it. I wanted a pop up, but the wife wanted a full bathroom instead of just a cassette toilet/shower. I like the pop ups for how well they tow. The R-Pod tows well compared to larger trailers, but not nearly as good as a pop up. I definitely feel it going up long grades. I am pulling it with. Dodge 2500 Power Wagon with the 5.7 Hemi. I think if I had to do it over again I would have bought a pop up and I am considering selling my R-Pod to do so.

Richie Report post Posted May 10, 2016 Thanks for the input. I have a f250 with the 5.4.i pulled a 23ft travel trailer last year and I'm embarrassed to say how it performed. It was pretty bad but I did get it there veeeeery slowly...I would of thought the hemi wouldn't have a problem pullin one of these. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Hemi pulls it fine, just not nearly as good as pop ups I've owned in the past. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
