R Pod 192 Walkthrough Tour

[@rerodriguez444]

I bought two campers from Princess Craft. Excellent customer service and stress free buying experience.

[@sjackson1739]

She always does such a great job!

[@joesch11]

Beautiful little trailer

[@CR10.07]

All your videos are so well done...you really give us a great idea of each RV unite

[@annettedalton8254]

You are a great presenter,PJ.

[@silaslongshot941]

Loaded little trailer here! Only one I've seen with "central vacuum" this size! Only real downer is the low microwave. Ouch. Maybe I can sit on the dinette while using it?

[@JeffSwal]

You nailed it, that microwave placement is a deal killer.

[@ryanlink5516]

Great video! I want that trailer!

[@JD_79]

Nice change from the older Rpod models, these things are getting quite large. The shower is still going to be tight but the bathroom is more open than any other Rpod I've seen. The murphy bed gives you the option of a couch but instead of using the murphy system in the Rockwood/Flagstaff trailers they used the cheaper/lighter style where your mattress has to fold in the middle and this limits what kind of aftermarket bedding you can use. Great non-slide floorplan in my opinion if you are good with a murphy bed.

[@ricklarence7751]

Love this model. Looking forward to trading my 2016 model 179 in 2020

[@haze1123]

Another great review.

[@calebh2642]

Well presented

Happy Thanksgiving PJ !!

I think the space beside the door is mainly a shoe garage,

OK pod friends... This is It! Lord willing tomorrow Tues the 8th of June 2021 we go to pick up our R-pod 192😯 @ Princess craft RV I'm excited but nervous and I don't want to be in a rush & overlook👀 anything that I should ask or check B4 we roll out of that dealership😳 Princess craft has been very good with us this far... They have been very patient and professional with all the calls I kept making to check if our trailer had arrived and they were on point. I believe we had the best salesman on the lot😀 I don't know how he does it but every time we would call him he was chirpy he was in a good mood and always willing to answer our dumb questions... Thank you Lucas we will see you Lord willing tomorrow

[@PrincessCraft]

Hey Diana, it’s PJ. I’m out of town, but wanted to see if you got your RPod and how it went?

[@dianaV1212]

@@PrincessCraft 😫 Well here we go😔 just received our Rpod 192 and the front window already needs re-gluing, re-mounting or re-securing🥺 Haven't taken our first trip yet and who knows how long it will be kept for repair😭 We will be taking it back and keeping everyone posted😔 🤞

[@sandrasmith70555]

You do a great job, I think the best of any videos I’ve watched, of showing and demonstrating all the components of the trailers. I do have a question, can you travel with the Murphy bed down or does it have to be put up for traveling?

[@PrincessCraft]

You can travel with the bed down.

[@paula.jackson5463]

Thanks PJ, this is a really nice layout, just am not that enamoured to the TPM or TPO roof. If they would have gone with Fibre Glass on the Roof as well this would be a winner in my books!

[@aprillockabyradford3679]

If I had lot of money, I would buy a nice new car and a new camper like this. That would be my dream. I would live in it.

[@slojogojo2766]

Whats the base price?

Love it! 😍

[@jessicagonzalez5605]

It is posible get one, even if I live in Mexico?

[@PrincessCraft]

I just checked the manufacturer’s website for dealerships in Mexico. Unfortunately, Forest River only lists dealerships in the U.S., South Korea, and Australia. If you’d like to see a little of Texas, we have R Pods and we’d love to show them to you!

[@st6795]

FR finally did it right going with two burners instead of trying to fit three

[@terrywaters6186]

And still, no counter space.

[@dianaV1212]

OK we ordered our 192 Rpod Through princess craft RV and they push the date back A couple of times and promised arrival today may 17th 2021....We will see if I at least get a courtesy call that it will be Pushed back again a couple of more months or not😳 We had a great salesperson very patient and knowledgeable named Lucas. Come on Princess craft RV, don't let us down🙏

[@petervachon6989]

Hi PJ, Nice looking trailer. Question on the Murphy bed. With the way that mattress folds down, isn't there going to be an issue with creases in the mattress at the pivot point as it looks like only a third is still folded flat while the rest is upright. Also, what size of mattress is it and can standard bedding be used?

[@robertcadogan7483]

Also I'd like to know why the platform the bed is on doesn't COMPLETELY hide the bed and has the mattress peaking out while it is in the up position? That would be a wonderful place to put a mural/picture! Or simply left to the owner to do maybe even just covering with fabric. I've seen other manufacturers do that on their Murphy beds.

[@petervachon6989]

I'm also surprised the bathroom doesn't come with a vanity mirror mounted to the wall.

[@dianaV1212]

@@petervachon6989 I know huh🤔dang they couldn't put atleast a mirror

[@wondafaith8621]

Like this one particularly the Murphy bed. Question: with all the connections, this is not a self-contained unit, correct? Thinking weather resistant in the cold months. I think this would be a great trailer for any season if this is so. Great showing! Thank you.

[@Stuff7164]

Hey PJ, Very informative videos you have! Thank you. My vehicle is a 2020 Honda Ridgeline RTL w/AWD (5000lb towing capacity). Do you think I can pull the 192 at full capacity with it? I'm a first time trailer buyer. Thanks in advance.

[@magbower4686]

Hi PJ!!! I wonder if I just want all electric and no gas in trailer?? Thanks

[@terrywaters6186]

Is the water heater nearly impossible to get to for winterization chores like other R-pods?

[@Robyrob7771]

I put a access hatch in our 179 for winterizing and maintenance.

[@felicejoseph1591]

The weight at the beginning of the video as stated by PJ is about 3500 lbs but at the end the video it is listed at 2504. Not being experienced with rvs , it may be a lack of understanding. We enjoy your youtube presentations!!

[@timesup6386]

GVWR IS 3,500LBS.

[@desertfrag]

Why was it necessary to change your wardrobe to illustrate the built in vacuum? Is it suggested to wear something more formal when doing this? :)

[@queenanne94101]

Thank you for the tour. Great trailer BUT...you’ve posted the wrong stats. Please compare with the RPod website. We were so excited we could tow this with our small SUV (under 3500 lbs) because your info shows 2504 but turns out it is not, it’s 7324. So sad for us. But we still love your videos!

[@MaryannPotter6897]

are you sure about 7324? ours is 2800 is a 172.... about the same length.

[@PrincessCraft]

Model 192 information from the manufacturer website: SPECIFICATIONS Hitch Weight:460 lb. UVW 3449 lb. CCC 1411 lb. Exterior Length: 22' 2" Exterior Height: 9' 8" Exterior Width: 96" Fresh Water: 30.00 gal. Gray Water: 30.00 gal. Black Water: 30.00 gal.

I think the vacuum would be even cooler if it just ejected the dirt outside. ;)

[@almuharib3211]

Nice

[@dianaV1212]

OK folks here is my experience of purchasing my R pod 192 this far. Today is July 18th 2021 & we dropped off our trailer on Thursday the 15th of July 2021 at the princess craf RV. 1 thing I can say about the folks there, they are very courteous, polite and professional, I understand that not everything is their fault, but what I do look at is how efficient their work Ethic and promises are. Yes we're still waiting on the spare tire for our trailer which we did not get at the time of delivery and we now await the turn around & return of our trailer Rpod after this repair.....😫 Waiting 🤔

[@seabliss22]

Can you still use the RDome with this unit?

[@Nurse8812]

Kind of bummed the shower doesn't have an insert to protect the walls.

[@davidacosta147]

Is this a four season trailer

[@PrincessCraft]

It is not.

[@dannyt5965]

What the difference between the R Pod 190 and 192 ?

[@PrincessCraft]

They’re very different layouts. Take a look here: forestriverinc.com/rvs/travel-trailers/r-pod?RegionSelected=1

[@carolgoering6585]

Everybody needs more light when sleeping

[@dianaV1212]

😆🤣

[@petervachon6989]

PJ it's funny that you're referring to yourself as "PJ" as a coincidence, my family also refers to me as PJ since my middle name starts with J for "Joseph" named after the first initial of my late grandfather's first name on my mother's side which consisted of 3 names (Joseph Emity Desmond or JED for short) but everyone that knew him referred to him as JED.

[@mikeatra]

Why do I need a nightlight if there’s so much light coming in thru the window? LOL I couldn’t help myself 😅😅😅😅

[@Robyrob7771]

R-pods have a plethora of LEDs on at night. No night lights required. I have been finding creative ways to cover them.

Microwave could be put above stove if those cabinets were built to be even with fridge. Wake up engineers!

She always does a great job but why isn't the camera man moving the camera so we can see what she's showing us in the bathroom? He just kept it pointed at her.

[@PrincessCraft]

Sorry! I'm still learning the craft of videography!

[@dianaV1212]

OMG I've heard so many horror stories about dealers. I've looked at more reviews than trailers😫 we were ready to order ours PC...but the reviews of peoples experience after signing off their life savings and dealers defaulting in delivery, maintenance and product 😫 WoW so disheartning 😔 you see this beautiful unit on video but I've gone to see them and something is changed up, be it the faucet or sofa color 😫or cabinet color etc

[@PrincessCraft]

It's definitely easy to find accounts of negative experiences online! We've learned that although there are significantly more good experiences out there, the people having fun don't want to stop the fun to review and comment. People with bad experiences, real ones, are more likely to go online and share their negative experience. So, online, you'll find more negativity, both warranted and unwarranted. Trust us, there are many many more happy campers out there than the internet would have you believe.

[@dianaV1212]

@@PrincessCraft Thank you for your professional response...And for being realistic in saying that there are some that are warranted and unwarranted and you're probably right😔 Can you please answer this, do you believe that 1 should sign off their money without having the product which your signing your money for? What do I mean? Lets say I walked in there and I like a model you dont have on your lot, but you take me into your office to make a deal and you have me sign money paperwork and after I signed over my money to you, you turn around and tell me "OK we'll have your product in 2 months" I'm expected to take your word for it, Yet I was required to pay up front for a product that's not at hand🤔 So why won't you order what I like and take my word in saying, that I will come and give you the money when you have the actual trailer I want? Let's say I sign my money to you and the trailer is ordered " " How do I know that what is delivered Was not some floor sample trailer that's been used Over and over for shows and they figured, lets get rid of that one 1st before ordering a brand new one for this money?🤔 I hope the question doesn't anger you or that you just brush me off, because this is a legitimate question of ethics, logic and business dealings.

[@PrincessCraft]

You're certainly thinking through some heavy and real thoughts! Unfortunately, there's a real "human" history here that has made customers, dealerships, and even the manufacturers a bit wary of each other and their intentions. Every side has experienced being taken advantage of in the past. So, trust is certainly a tenuous topic. Because of this, there are some protections put in place for the consumer, the dealerships, and the manufacturers. Most dealerships will work with a deposit procedure for ordered units, rather than taking all of the money up-front. (Certain dealerships and manufacturers are taking full payments on very sought-after brands and models due to scarcity at this point of early 2021.) Most of the time, just a deposit... and often that isn't completely binding. BUT, for special order units that have a unique mix of options and customization chosen, a dealership may feel that the unit would be significantly more difficult to sell to anybody other than that specific and unique customer that ordered it. In that case, changes to the deposit and binding terms will be agreed upon on the front end. To protect yourself, ask every clarifying question you need to before a deposit. Also, USUALLY, you won't have to finalize any payment and/or financing agreements until the unit has arrived and you've had an opportunity to check it out. Make sure you take a look before sitting down with the finance officer, because they often assume you've been working with the other departments before arriving at their table. (bad to assume... but human in busy work environments) So no... beyond a deposit, don't sign off money until YOU feel you have enough information and until YOU feel comfortable moving forward with a purchase. Let the sales or finance reps know if you feel rushed or uncomfortable. Ask more questions... or find another dealership to work with. Don't sign or agree under any pressure other than your own excitement to start having fun with your new camper or RV. When you do find the right option for you... you have control of what you sign and when your money commitments are made. Communication between all parties really helps this. Remain in a mindset that allows you the "help them help you" posture ... as dealerships won't know what your questions and concerns might be. Whatever you find and wherever you find it... we hope you have a wonderful experience! Remember, you're in control on the money matter on the front-end. Feel empowered to get the information and support you need.

look at the molding on the right side when you puts the bed down. Its already coming off with a noticeable gap. Makes me question the build quality on these. 2:40 When you look at these American made trailers compared to European made Cavavans they look like cheap crap. Just look at this one. Makes this look so cheap. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXzLoKCbZ5eLkNU
