2020 R-Pod 195 Travel Trail by Forestriver - Couch's RV Nation a RV Wholesaler RV Reviews Walkaround

[@denniszerlan7214]

We have a '14 R-Pod, model 178, purchased from Couch's (an unprompted plug for Couch's - our experience with them was great and we drove to Couch's from Colorado to pick it up). Have enjoyed it and continue to enjoy it. This 195 design is intriguing, offering a bit more room, a larger bathroom and the "walk around" bed, the latter two of which my wife and I would love. The only component I initially find troubling with is what appears to be the permanently mounted solar panel on the roof. Regardless of potential hail damage (Colorado seemingly is a hail magnet at times), often times setting up camp beneath a tree for shade the solar charging efficiency is reduced. Being able to remove the solar panel and placing it in direct sun and at a more functional angle over the course of the day would be more efficient, again presuming the panel is permanently attached to the roof.

This is awesome. I have a 2016 model 179 but really love this. The only thing to make it better would be a couch in lieu of the diskette. Definitely looking forward to seeing one in Florida

[@MYTOYMAKERZ]

In my opinion having owned RV’s for over fifty years dinettes are a waste of space compared to having a comfortable place to sit like a jack knife sofa.

[@markholland8953]

The model 196 is the exact same layout but changes the dinette to a sofa.

[@scottelwood8348]

I think forest river as a real winner with this one. Thanks for another excellent video.

[@robwatt7001]

Why in the world don’t you do a king size bed. Don’t worry about those side cabinets are very confining when you are trying to sleep. Use the residential size mattress so we can use sheets etc from a standard bed. Most of us will change out the mattress anyway. Just because your RV ing doesn’t mean you have to suffer.

[@Sparkjumper59]

Rob Watt they (couch) don’t build or design the campers. They just sell them.

[@Catpeach6931]

Because some people can't crawl over the bed, they need to be able to walk around....

[@anneliesjoss]

I don’t understand why RV’s, even the newest models, have the “ugly” fabric for the blinds and seats. I wish they made them more neutral.

[@sbjennings99]

Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls

[@HM-gk3rq]

I like the walk around bed. Is there storage under the bed? Does it lift up? It’d be nice to have two comfortable chairs with little table since it’s really just for two. Why have big dinnette? I guess it becomes bed for more people. I don’t need that and am looking for something without that.

[@starlightsturdy584]

Definitely the one we want.

[@Acadian.FrenchFry]

This is really impressive! Great use of space! I am book marking this trailer.

[@jjbb7010]

I can't wait for the 189 2020 model, nice work Forest River!!!

[@dbz739921]

They've been out forever

[@beauhancock5627]

Is that sprayer all it has for outdoor shower? No hot/cold select?

[@stevesigler5241]

They need to start adding an extra axle to these. You will not be left with enough ccc on that single axle considering loaded weight. Not to mention if you use a weight distribution hitch setup you will be transferring even more weight to that single axle. Not sure who they think they are fooling but I would buy one of these or the geo pro if it had a double axle on a 22 foot camper. I guess if they put a much beefier single axle then perhaps would be ok but they do not.

[@JesusFreakJene]

I like it. I would like to see it without those pillar cushions. I wouldnt use it for a bed.

[@ArgueWithATree18]

Still considering the casita. This has a good layout. I liked it until he said separate dumps. Ugh!

[@seand7642]

Completely agree, would like to hear the 'pros' if there are any, as to why they separate the two dump tanks

[@rosemaryburr9067]

I really like this! Is it all weather and can you build it with a composting toilet so there’s no black tank?

[@marvinfillmore2201]

Can you put a adjustable base bed in a good?

[@denniswilde2013]

Is this available with a larger solar panel system?

[@mnnomad1870]

Is the water heater electric only?

[@jjbb7010]

They should use aerogel insulation? it's weightless - Is it expensive to manufacture?

[@chenwu9788]

Nice review, what is total length of the R pod 195 and what is the outside box length?

[@supersami7748]

I keep waiting for a new trailer in this size range (and not cost an arm and a leg) to offer a for real queen bed for people taller than about 5’10”. That’s why I haven’t bought anything new in over 15 years.

[@mikeramsey5391]

Would unit come with a sofa instead of that dinette?

[@fnnnknorth]

Mike Ramsey 100% agree. Add a little table. It’s Golden.

[@Sparkjumper59]

field north the table can be seen laying on the bed. So it’s kinda a couch and kind of a dinette. I think it works into some kind of crappy bed too. I think there would be better ways than this.

[@markholland8953]

The model 196 is the exact same layout with a sofa replacing the dinette.

[@mnnomad1870]

Still available?

[@BlancaRodriguez-iv7ng]

Soy d cd juarez y me encanta

[@bobcat5412]

Great video. Thanks.

[@garygoudreault1481]

Sorry hit the send button too soon....is there an inverter with the solar pkg. To power 120v receptacles

[@allaboutrv]

There is a 1,000 watt inverter that comes with the solar package top work the electric outlets

[@garygoudreault1481]

@@allaboutrv The panel looks around 100 watt ???

[@garygoudreault1481]

How much is solar pkg?? And wattage

[@doingitwithnothing]

What’s the going price ranges?

[@allaboutrv]

Hi Wayne This one was $17,640

[@123catnipcity]

At first glance, this is awesome. However, with the larger bathroom and walk around bed there is no storage space. We have a R pod 179 2016 model. It has lots of storage space for such a small camper. Unless you plan living out of your vehicle for clothes, food,etc. this new floor plan won't work for a camping trip more than a couple of days.

[@Catpeach6931]

There's tons of storage under the mattress and outside...

[@siberwolf33]

Sleeps 4? Where?

[@garygoudreault1481]

Do u know if any of the 120v are powered by the solar

[@celtglen]

How much?

[@denniswilde2013]

What is the width of the door opening?

[@joshcosta423]

I live this floorplan

[@marleneplatcek6364]

Love the inside, hate to think what it cost

[@dbz739921]

29k msrp

[@Ursin101]

Nice

[@johnmanthey2683]

Is there roll out cover available for the slide out?

[@allaboutrv]

Hi John. You can add slide out awning covers to these campers aftermarket.

[@mickysmithiii1213]

I wanna know the "out the door price?"

[@Sparkjumper59]

They (Couch) say will save you thousands. But it’s still a bunch I’m sure. I looked at r pods a few years ago before I bought something other.

[@WestCoastSteelheader]

they go for about $23k but who knows after fees and taxes

[@tammywines9789]

This init went out the door for $17,000 I would round it out to $18,000 .

[@kccarrtheoregonhillbillyhi4803]

I'm pretty sure that's called a wolf pup...lol

[@wowmarie6606]

Yass 😁

[@pnachtwey]

That is not a queen sized bed.

[@jcat5150]

It's probably a cool trailer but it's lost pretty much everything 'pods were about....calling this a 'pod is just a marketing decision to capitalize on a successful franchise (not that I'm mad about it....more like amused) ...

[@jez6208]

Why are so many american RVs have bland colour schemes? I love the shapes and all the stuff you get. I just find the finish as dull as dish water. Sorry.

[@fabiorubio1153]

Precio uss $$$$

[@allaboutrv]

Hi Fabio. This one was $17,640

[@speterbilt]

Very nice travel trailer errrrrrrrrr "COACH" smh

[@vanvorst1999]

👎 Two dumps... Too many! Definitely a bad design by people who don't use these campers.

[@cliffyj5071]

This is a shit ass floor plan.. I'm figuring they won't sell many of these.
