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 ...

Uplander, you are right about forgetting the mpg -- unless you get a pop-up, the mileage is bad. But I respectfully disagree that a cramped trailer is always a mistake -- we got a very small trailer for our first one and discovered that it enabled us to boondock in remote areas with lots of trees and narrow roads. We got our second trailer, which is the same size as the first, for the same reason. We really enjoy it -- we camp between 60 and 80 nights a year.
Having said all of that, if you don't want to boondock and you don't need to fit into tight forest service campgrounds, the advantages of a tiny trailer probably do not outweigh the disadvantages, especially if you camp in a rainy climate and have to spend many days in very close quarters.
I like your camping style! I too like to camp off the beaten path and boondock in NF areas. There are a couple of places I camp where I can barely squeeze my 7' wide Truck Camper in. Height clearance is also an issue.
I'm leaning away from the R-pod mainly due to the construction, body repairs would likely require a trip back to the factory.
A 7' wide small bunkhouse TT with a dinette I think will suit us well. Now, do I justify over $20k for an all aluminum Camp Lite or go with a traditional stick built for much less $ ??.
Meanwhile I still have my TC if I get an itch to camp this winter.
