Thank you PJ for another great review of the RPOD models. My husband and I purchased the RPOD 195 in August from a dealer in Ohio (we are from the East coast) , the 196 model was not available at the time. We upgraded from the RPod 177 and find the 195 spacious for us and our dog. We our not full time RV travelers, therefore, there is more than enough storage for our clothes and camping necessities. We love the dry bath , it’s very easy getting in and out of the walk around bed, love the vacuum. The kitchen counter space is sufficient for meal preparation; we cook outdoors on a camp stove and I use the dinette table if more space is needed. RPod 195 also provides an extra table for outdoor use. The only negative comment is that it’s awkward for 4 people to sit at the dinette table because of the table leg configuration . Our solution is to use a smaller table with different leg support. I don’t find the low placement of the microwave any different from that of a conventional home oven. When choosing between the 196 and 195 models, the consumer has to decide between the couch seating and pocket door of 196 vs wrap around dinette and hinged bathroom door of the 195.

Now this is impressive! A real refrigerator, a freezer! In floor vacuum, oven! Oh ya, this is way better than the truck camper if your in your 50’s. Love drawers in the kitchen, too! What a great design for a long weekender. You are outside most of the time, so hope awnings are possible and a grill??? Please say there is under the bed storage for clothes and shoes? It is tiny, but a step up from the truck camper. I’m not familiar with camper potties, do they get smelly like the boat heads do? Major pet peeve. The boat I’ve traveled on was spotless but, there were other issues involved in flushing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Congratulations to whomever designed this small camper! LOVE THE GRILL!

A converter doesn't convert 12v into 110v AC, it converts 110v AC into 12v. An INVERTER converts 12v battery power into 110v AC. Very few RVs come equipped with an inverter.

Lastly bathroom is great except that shower door/curtain unless it comes off how would you ever clean it?? Thank You!

You just need a bigger trailer. There is a limit to what can be done with a small trailer. The bigger you go, the easier they are to live with, bigger counters, full length beds and no extra storage space needed so you can walk right up to the front of the trailer. What you want, will never exist in a trailer this small. Sorry.
