Newbie here - Is R-Pod a good choice?
Never owned a Travel Trailer but wifey and I are looking to purchase one. Just the two of us and our dog. Don't know much but do like the R-Pod 180 - has a dry bathroom. Pulling with a V8 SUV - ...

I had read somewhere to consider the max towing to be
1/2 the vehicles max tow rating plus 1,000 lbs.
That would put the limit for my vehicle at 4200 lbs.
I'm guessing I need to find a trailer less than 21 feet.
Just the wife and I. I'm 6'2" so if the queen bed is oriented
so I can hang my feet off the end or just deal with it.
Dry bathroom, and I don't have a place to store it under a
shelter - use a car-like cover or invest in a metal carport
cover?
I appreciate all the Camper suggestions. Been going over
to YouTube for a look see. Still can't pull the trigger.
I'm 6'2" also, our Econ 16RB has plenty of room (headroom and bed), overhead cupboards have awning doors that stick out and make quite a hazard for even normal size people however I have an easy fix in mind for that. Construction quality is a bit lacking at least on ours (first year model I believe). That being said we purchased ours for 13,700 (on a MSRP of over 20K) so if you're looking for a cheaper 'starter' trailer you might want to consider Pacific Coach Works.
As far as covering, I think that's a whole nother subject. I think covers have their proponents. We park uncovered in the driveway.
