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 - ...

It is often said you should buy your second trailer first. Good advice if you're trying to keep a close eye on the budget.
The question becomes, how to do that ? For me, it literally took me 18 months of looking at dozens and dozens of trailers. I finally decided on the criteria that was important to me ( and this is likely different for each of us ) and bought what I did ( funfinder 189FDS ). I still thoroughly enjoy this camper after almost five years.
Probably a good rule of thumb is "find the layout you like", and then modify everything else that may be needed to make just right.
I often say, "some assembly required". Seems to be very true.
EDIT: one thing that did not work for me on r-pod was the "pod" is somewhat narrow, making the interior just a bit smaller. In the end, I decided that for me, I had to have a trailer with a slideout. Other folks simply would not own a trailer with a slideout. There is something out there for every different taste.
