R Pod 180 by Forest River Walkthrough Tour
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 апр 2020
- The Best-Selling in its class R Pod Series from Forest River has inspired several other manufacturers to take note and to produce eerily similar trailers. Not willing to just sit on the original designs and floor plans, Forest River is making updates and producing things like this new 2020 R Pod 180. It's a bit of a departure from some of the R Pod norms we're accustomed to, but it's sure to check off some of the boxes RV shoppers in the R Pod market have been looking for. Join PJ from Princess Craft RV in Round Rock, Texas as she tours this new R Pod.

Compared to a lot of RV channels I've seen in my quest to find something that fits my cost/level of comfort/etc. This channel is spot on.
-Calm, informative host
-Shares the price right off the bat (or at least the price in this region, it's really nice to have some manner of ballparking on the cost.)
-Relatively good knowledge on solar, a lot of channels mention solar but they make it sound like this secondary generator, which it is not and that disclaimer that it couldn't run the electric-based appliances on it's own really was handy there.
-Informative on how much the tanks hold, didn't just give us a blurry photo and said "look for yourself"
Very good stuff! Keep it up!
We love our 180! It’s a perfect couples camper with our dog. Everything you need and plenty roomy enough to be rained in for a weekend. Only complaints. The radio and speakers are very cheap, the tires are junk, and someone has to climb over to get out of bed. Awesome cabinet space, convection, 3 way fridge. We couldn’t be happier and love it more every time we camp! Tows like a dream with a half ton.
Very nice trailer. And I like how you mention the price at the beginning.
She shows and explains every detail she's wonderful
Love a PJ tour. Always wonderful and thorough. Thanks very much🙏 .
PJ with Princess Craft always does an excellent job if I lived in Texas that’s where I would buy my RV!
Love this camper, as a single camper. 2 things I'd like to change.
Wish bathroom for was a pocket door , Also a bigger fridge freezer combo
Welcome back! Have missed your reviews
Another great video. I am glad to see that FR finally decided to add the front window.
Really nice floor plan, storage, kitchen, fresh/gray/black water storage capacity. Toilet and shower a bit confining for tall folks (I'm 6')but that's a very minor problem. Love where the bed is. This one's a keeper!
Nice little trailer. Good ground clearance. - Thanks
I love you darling. You are a marvellous and informative presenter! Thanks for showing us around! ❤️❤️❤️❤️Peter. UK ❤️
Hi PJ glad to see that you're back :-) :-) :-)
I really like the way PJ does her demonstrations!
Always a great review. Love our NU camp cs s.
I think it's pretty well thought out.
Very well done! Thank you for sharing the price “right off the bat” to quote you. Very quickly helped us decide if we were on the right track
Hello mrs p j thanks for the video. Please be safe and take care.
I love your tours of the RV’s very informative 😀
Great little camper!
You always do the best videos
PJ , that’s an awesome little trailer , wish I was in the market
I love it 😍
Very nice!
Nice presentation. Thanks!
Your so welcome! We love showing off these awesome trailers!
Great review 💪👍
great lady . their lucky to have her.
Thanks! They are stuck with me! 😁
I love your Videos PJ ♥
well presented, wow thats a huge bathroom, very impressive, nice RV or as we say in Brisbane Australia nice Caravan
Not built as well as any RV made in Australia.
@@wsfig, Really Walter, you havent looked at Lemon Caravans on Facebook Have you, its full of shonky made Caravans, I bought one so jog on
A very nice caravan and it would be perfect for me, my cat and my dog
If you like this unit, Id say you'll love the NoBo 16.8
It's almost perfect, just need to upgrade that fridge to something bigger
Nice
Needs a50" transparent t.v. ,and all white interior 😮!!❤
Wouldn’t that be cool!
😎Like 🇮🇹

If there was and R-Pod with tandem axles I would have considered one. Went with the Rockwood Mini Lite because all of theirs do. You have the best RV tours on RUclips though.
Does anybody do these walkthroughs better than PJ? Probably not.
David Lari I agree.
I like watching her videos at night. She's very calming.
She's great! Being tiny, she makes all the trailers look spacious too.
I've seen a lot of them and Nobody Does it Better Than PJ
Matt's RV reviews certainly doesn't.
Dude is a total Sugar Goofball!
Everytime he jumps I feel the earth shake...
really like you thorough walkthroughs. are you guys able to do an RPOD 171 walkthrough? Thanks!
Nice for a 20 foot trailer! I wish I had $18,000 right about now. ;)
What an awesome trailer. I definitely have to look for a dealer here in Ontario Canada that sells these ☺
It is a great trailer! Good luck finding one in your area!
Hello. Someone else already asked as well. Is this the framing aluminum? I currently have an Aliner, but I’m keeping my eyes open for the camper that we’ll transition to. I like the Rpod 171 as well. But the dry bath in the 180 is 👌🏼
It would be really nice if they designed the queen bed to have the ability to convert into a couch.
I like the decor. Doesn't look like your grandmas house. Much better modern designs.
Maybe I missed it, does it have an aluminum frame?
I like it! Any dealers in S. FL?
Does half ton truck can tow this?
Hello, can you tell me the dimensions of the kitchen drawers and also the shelf over the bed please
Would a 5’11 guy be able to stand confirtably?
Can I safely and easily pull this with my V6 Toyota Highlander?
No slide out? 🤔
I'm a bit confused about the vacuum demonstration, because it showed a much bigger fridge/freezer above the vacuum when earlier that space had a wardrobe closet. I would much rather have the larger fridge.
She mentioned that it was a different model with the same vacuum.
Hi the camper inside vacuum bags is it reusable or replaced bags the name brand and part number
How much do the holding tanks have and propane
It would be great if this 20 ft R Pod's bed converted into a couch. There is no virtualy no seating in this Trailer, the dinette is no going to be comfortable to sitcat to watch TV, nor the bed area. So having a guest over to join forcwatching a movie is diffently out of the question
Please consider a trailer designed for a wider wheelchair. Wider doors, open under sink and non enclosed bathroom, maybe sliding doors.
What is the price please thanks
What’s wrong with the camera man? When you mentioned the toilet, the shower curtain on rails, or the two overhead lights in the bathroom, why isn’t he filming these things so we can see? Strangest camera work for a product review!....but I love your reviews! Some of the best camper trailer reviews online. I’ll always be subscribed! Thank you for making these videos!
Yeah, I feel I could do a better job sometimes, too. Hopefully getting better as we make more of these videos!
Have you heard about RVS 4 MDS check them out on FB
You can tell the trailers that PJ REALLY likes! The ones that she would totally own herself. Then there are the ones like this one. That are ok..... but she'd pass on.
Which one do you think she would own?
Hello rv makers!?!?! Under mounted sinks!
She is selling to women nesters. Goes straight to the bathroom and kitchen.
HeighTH?
Specs in description above.
But you gotta be plugged in and that's the problem
$18000 sounds good to me
Yeah nah, that kitchen sink was a deal breaker for me
The teny tiny fridge ruins it, also why do people call it a queen bed when it isn't ? 74" isn't a queen, otherwise a pretty decent coach especially for the price. I'm 6'4 so the bed would be a fetal position, the fridge is way too small...
True! Even when the manufacturer calls it a queen bed we still try to give dimensions for just that reason. A 74” bed won’t work for a lot of people!
Outlet not plug.
Hola.. Amigos... Se todo hermoso.. En este caso.. no es más importante mostrar más.. Lo q se esta vendiendo.. Y no ala ara.. Ya q la enfocan mucho a la sra. Y la cámara no muestra mucho.. Gracias
Why do so many RVs have beige interiors? Kind of uninspiring!
There isn’t any toilet
Air conditioner
I guess you wash dishes in the shower
Why do yanks keep calling a cooktop a stove ? Drives me bonkers,
