Any R-Pod owners ???
The closest dealer from me is several hours away but when I get a chance I'm going to take a look. The factory's website is kind of sparse. One concern is interior height, especially in the shower. I ...

Being used to a truck camper, the 179 should feel like a castle. We camped next to some folks with a different model R-Pod last year and got the .50 tour.

Is part of your thinking the fuel economy? No info here, but you might check that as you still have the large frontal area, regardless of the sloping back.
Personal opinion is that there is definitely a niche for that type trailer and it may be perfect for your needs. I do like the look and coziness of them. Your tall son could be a problem, so would suggest a test "fit" before you sign on the dotted line.
If you haven't looked at something like the Casita or similar trailers, it would be good to do some comparison.
Good luck and happy shopping. Enjoy that trip next season!
