We show the basic RP-151 floorplan below. This has a length of 16’2″ and an unloaded weight of 1937 lbs. Load capacity 1304 lbs:
The RP-152 increases the length just 4″ to 16’6″ (unloaded weight of 1972 lbs, load capacity 1185 lbs), downsizes the dinette arrangement an adds permanent bunks. The r-pod models all show a clever use of the space:
The next we show is the RP-171 with a length of 18’2″ and an unloaded weight of 2121 lbs. Load capacity 1060 lbs This has the advantage of a permanent queen bed. (The RP 175 shown below also has a queen bed, but the 175 comes with a slide-out):
Next we show the RP-172 with the same length as the 171 (18’2″), an unloaded weight of 2113 lbs and load capacity 1066 lbs, but with the big dinette and a bigger bunks arrangement:
Next, the RP-173 – 18’2 and 2039 lbs. Load capacity 1145 lbs There is an option to replace the sofa with 2 chairs:
Next, the RP-174 – 18’2 and 2306 lbs. Load capacity 1428lbs. A heavier unloaded vehicle weight and a bigger load capacity. The first of 2 models with a slide-out. The slide makes a big difference to the space available of course:
Finally we show the RP-175 with (18’2″ and 2335 lbs, load capacity 1399 lbs) with a queen bed and slide out: |
