Like all R-Pods, the RP-171 is designed and built light weight so it can be towed easily by smaller vehicles. Streamlined like a “teardrop”, it has standing headroom and the amenities to make it comfortable. It is fully outfitted for camping in the wild or in campgrounds, perfect for a couple (and with 2 small children?) to get away for a weekend or an extended tour of our state or country.

We have enjoyed great experiences with our R-Pods
This is our second R-Pod – we enjoyed tremendously an RP-177 for 13 years. We lived in it part time for 4 years while building a cabin, winter and summer. Then went camping and traveling throughout New Mexico and as far as San Diego and Idaho. It was about as carefree as I would ever expect a camper to be. We expect this RP-171 to serve as well. Other priorities in life have led us to set aside camping for now. We’re happy to turn this fine camper over to you.
