We went about the same route as Bumpy. Though we ended up with a 19RB Ascend. Wet bath seemed like a sardine can. Bed jammed in the back. Minimal storage space. And at 6'5", tight on the headroom. I was also a little concerned that the black/gray dump valve was very close to the pavement. A big pothole or curb might just whack it off. No rear bumper, meaning any little thing in the way would cause some skin damage. I wanted it to work, but it was just not so.

I looked at the RPod when I bought my Ascend RD171. it had a wet bath vs dry, tiny corner sink in bathroom that would be barely useable, absolutely no hang up room, tiny overhead in kitchen slideout, vs. overheads all over in my Ascend, etc. felt it was worth $5,000 more.
