Nice 2019 R-POD 171 with lots of 'boondocking' upgrades including two solar panels, dual batteries, larger LP tank, 3.5 inch axle lift kit, removable rear stabilizer jacks and tongue jack for more ground clearance at your favorite boondocking sites. Dinette table upgraded for heavy duty use, but the unit will now only sleep 2, not 4. Roof A/C and fridge both cool, furnace warms this small trailer up nicely. Electric space heaters installed for when you do have hookups, saves propane use. This trailer is easily towed with a large SUV or half-ton pickup (150, 1500) You will need a 2 inch receiver and 2 inch ball coupler, and a brake controller.

This trailer is located in the Texas Panhandle. Price is $15,000. PM if interested.

WHATTTTTTT? You throwing in the towel?!!
 
You do know in this market that is probably too cheap? I just saw today a fellow selling homebuilt canned hams with no systems or interior for $6,500 and he had two more orders to fill after this one he sold.
 
If I was in a major market with lots of exposure I could probably get more for it but here in this little burg...nobody has any money.

I have it listed on a few websites but people want to lowball or scam every one these days. They either think I'm stupid or they ask some really stupid questions via email just to mess with buyers. (one potential female buyer sent a pic and an offer of a certain type of sexual favor for a weekend!)....It's ridiculous. At any rate....

Since anyone on this particular forum would have to travel to either look at it or actually buy it, I'm selling it for my rock bottom price here. If it does not sell for this amount I will consign it at a dealership and they will price it accordingly...probably between 16 and 19 thousand. New r-pod 171s are selling close to or over $20,000 in some areas...and that is after you are put on a waiting list. 

Here is a list of upgrades:


 ______________________________

  30# LP tank
  Dual 12v Deep Cycle Batteries
 
  Roof-mount 50watt solar panel w Morningstar 4 amp controller inside

  under seat (for power when boondocking)
 
  Temperature controlled smart fan w/switch added to fridge vent
  compartment (helps fridge cool more efficiently)

  3.5 inch lift kit (dealer installed)
  Save-a-Jack on rear stab jacks
  Jack-e-Up on tongue jack
  Upgraded holding tank drain valve support
  Flagpole/antenna mount on spare carrier


  INTERIOR:

  ON-OFF battery switch inside lower seat cabinet
  300 watt pure-sine inverter installed under seat (one outlet)
  Replaced the dining table OEM folding legs with very sturdy
  pedestal base (flush mount in floor)
  DIY heat shield installed near stovetop
  12v power ports added in bunk area and storage above fridge
  Worklight upgrade (w/ hi-lo brightness) over stove

No Missus C, I still have my cargo trailer 'camper'....but I am just not able to break away for 2 to 6 weeks like I used to be able to. I have only been able to use this camper 3 days in the last 18 months. It is too expensive to be just sitting here not being used. I can put the money into other things.
 
There goes the proud new owner leaving my driveway with the r-pod...I already miss it but I have other plans in the works. In fact, I have already put down a deposit on something.

And that's for another thread!

:cool:
