That is all I know about them, I couldn't begin to even speculate on what one costs. They are between the wheels and impress me as being pretty narrow though.

They may be all that their owners claim them to be... or they may be a flash in the pan. I just don't know what to think about them. You can ask owners, but almost every single one we see when we are in our RV in the summer months, and there a LOT of the RPods that have been sold and are in use, are first time RV owners (hell, I would say a full 50% of them are on their maiden voyage) and I am not so certain that they are capable of actually giving an informed opinion regarding rPod vs ???.

I checked out the Scamp reviews and found several bad reviews or guys who had done their own repairs.
I have two buddies who each have a Rpod. One went from a truck and camper to the Rpod. The other went from a cab over motor home to the Rpod. Both experienced RV ears, both retired. They both like their Rpods,
They run in the $14k range for new depending on options you choose.
14 ft,16 ft, or a 21 ft 5 th wheel model.
I would rather use my wall tent. But the wife wants one because she likes simple and easy. Guess that's why been married 32 years. :chuckle:

That seems a pretty darn reasonable price.

Not planning to use it hunting. I love my wall tent.
This is just for the wife and I to go off for a weekend or week.
Plus she would be able to tow it herself if she wanted.

My wife works at a dealership that sells them and says they are very popular. However lots of folks come back looking for something just a little bigger.
That is kinda what I was thinking. Perhaps getting a gently used one can be had at a bargain.
I say that as a guy that owns a Compact II by Hunter and knows all about too small. The Compact II was fine for just me and the wife and is fine for just me and Bridget on short junkets, but it certainly is not at all comfortable for more than two or for longer trips. It's just a bit too small.
We have a Stealth 2216 Toy Hauler too
