Is your current TT to large for you ?

Is your current TT to large for you ? Maybe this one is more your size.

Simple words could not begin to describe my disdain for this piece of junk....
Barnum was correct: There actually is a fool born every minute.
On edit, Barnum said sucker in 1890 (maybe) and some unknown said "fool" in 1809. Probably interchangeable in this case.

Rpods are actually very popular. They even come with slides now. Yeah P.T. Barnum may have said there is a sucker born every minute.... There is an RV for everybody out there too..
I have worked on them, comfortable? No but depending on your TV, it just may fit your lifestyle.

There was a time.....I guess. When we used to travel on motorcycles and sleep in a tent this might have been nice. Now, I'm well past wanting to sleep in something the size of a coffee can. To each their own I guess.

On a positive note (should always find positive) easy to perform what little maintenance would be performed on this type of unit.

Where do I pee at?
Some Canadian gals camped near is over the summer. Theirs popped up and outward and even one side went on the ground. At least they could stand up inside. It's basically glorified tent camping and way easier to setup.

A friend and his wife moved up from a tent to an egg smaller than that one. They pull it with an old Subaru outback and love it.
I'll keep my running water and microwave etc.
But to each.....

It has an A/C but,.... no mention of heat,... and I didn't see any propane bottle so I surmise,... no heat... no way!!! For where I live and camp. I use heat almost year round while camping in the mountains.

I think it's a cool little camper. I wouldn't own one, but everyone pays their quarter and takes their chances. I see this as a fun little starter camper.

I had an R Pod and loved it but at times it was a bit small so moved up to 19RB much happier on extended stay trips

Well, I guess if ya don’t have a furnace, stove, water heater, you don’t need propane. I would hope that the ac unit is a heat pump, if not, a small space heater of some “safe” sort would suffice. No toilet, kitchen, etc.
I just saw a picture when I researched the MyPod, of a trike, Goldwing I think, with one of those little campers behind it.
It’s kinda cute, anyhow. I’m like everyone else——not for me.

Couldn't imagine trying to crawl around in that thing, but for younger people it might be all they can pull with a little windup car. I've slept in my old 1997 Suburban when out shooting gophers, but not any more. I take my 21RBS!

Or, as we used to say when I sold motorcycles for a living...."There's an A$$ for every seat!"

I think I could get that inside the garage in my Raptor...Lol! At 600lbs with battery it might be good to pull behind a trike!

We had a 1974 VW camper that we took on a 12,000 mile circuit around the country for our honeymoon. How we survived in that limited space, packed everything we needed, managed with an ice box and still ended up talking to each other at the end of the journey still amazes me. Oh, to be young again!

We had 2 VW Westfalia Campmobiles. The first was a 1971 without the popup top. Total cost was $3400 including tax, title and transportation. We bought it in Germany for delivery at the port in New Jersey. We travelled from NJ to Michigan, down to Louisiana, over to Florida, then to Edwards AFB in California with a 6 week old baby. Traded that one for a 1972 model with the tent top.
Like you, now I wonder how the heck we ever managed such a long trip with a newborn, but "you do what you have to do" and we definitely didn't want to remain in Turkey for another year, so the choice was clear to travel back to the US with a 6 week old baby.
Looking back, that trip was filled with happiness, enjoyment and a sense of adventure. We had a blast !!!!!

Our German Shepard said it's to small even for her.
Yes, she talks.
Well, sort of.
