Well we have joined you all in the r-pod revolution lol. We will pick ours up tomorrow at Couch,s RV Nation. We got a 171 mainly because of the queen bed in the back. There is just two of us so it is going to be perfect. Maggie

we got our 171 today I love it!!!! Had a lot of wind bringing "HER" home so don't know what the mileage will do. I think that we are gonna add a sway bar to our hitch just to help when in the wind. Not sure when we will go out but I hope it is soon!!! Maggie

We just bought our 171 from COUCH'S RV NATION TOO!!! You probably passed right by ours when you picked yours up... Our 171 will be hitting the road shortly... it is being delivered to us in Nor Cal. Jeff, Doug and Kendra ROCK!!! We looked all over California and some other states too and no one can come close to price and customer service... If your still are on the fence and worry about buying out of state... WE can honestly tell you that we saved over 3 grand... and got the BEST rate along with as mentioned excellent customer service .

Happy r trails to you.... until we meet AGAIN!!!

Hey Everyone! This site is awesome, It's great seeing so many people excited about the r-pod. Many of you have commented about buying your r-pod out of state. The great thing is with r-pod, you can buy from your local dealer, and arrange a 'factory pick-up' of your new r-pod in Goshen, right near the production facility. That way, you will still have a local dealer when you return home, where ever that may be! It's important to buy from your local dealer because they will be the ones assisting you with your r-pod when you return home! |

I had that concern as well .. I wanted to support my local dealer here in upper NY but they were 3G's from Couchs price. I gave them every chance to match the price but they would not come down within 2G. I called FR and they gave me a list of 5 dealers within 45 min drive of my location that can do r-pod service - it does not have to be a dealer selling r-pods - any FR dealer can do the service.
I called one dealer that sold Sierra's and he said they would do the work all day long - and that they would be stupid to pass up the $100 hr service work. FR has a national dealer network that can do service under warrenty - it was a non-issue for me. Heck, for the 3G's I saved I can afford to pay for a little work if it ever even came to that.

Here!!! Here!!! NY r-pod'r!!! My in state dealers tried to pressure me with that sales pitch as well. I too confirmed that FR warranty work can be done at $100 hr.
I am also a Harley owner and I have had service on my bike in many states as I travel a lot. Not one dealership has refused to work on my bike because I did not buy it from them. The 'Local' dealer needs to become competitive and STOP insisting on the 'IMPORTANCE' of a local dealer. If I was them and I could not match the price... I would partner with us and welcome us for whatever needs we have for the future... hmmm sounds like Harley. You will read time and time again how any dealers people have worked with and still they are no where near our friends in Hamilton Ohio. If one more dealer tells me that the markup is due to shipping the pod... LOL Couch's RV Nation still can do that and kill the local dealer price... so what is next excuse? I like HONEST and Direct salesmanship... and I have received that when selecting my r-pod dealer!!! Do your homework people!!!

Congratulations on your Rpod 171. We have one too. I didn't find this site until after we put money down so Couches was not an option for us. We paid $11,000 for ours including 5.5% sales tax. That was ok. They were really nice at Country Campers so it all works out. I am just happy to have walls and a ceiling. Post pictures of your outings if you can.
