    1. I'm about a month from buying...I have a teardrop I have to sell first and I won't recover what I need with a trade in...so I need to sell it first then buy an Rpod.

      You do have the best r-pod deals, perhaps in the nation.
      I can get the 172 here in Missouri for $11,500 without the $200.00 doc prep fee you have but no AC or awning. Your price of $11,995 with everything is amazing.

    2. We just drove up to RV Nation in Ohio and picked up our rp-171 camper. We got it fully loaded with awning for $11,995. My local dealer here in NC would not come down below $13,990 - and wanted $400 for the awning. We stopped in Tn and camped on the way home that night.

    6. Is there only what type of awning? Il would prefer an awning without the big dome. What I'm looking for is only a small roof.
      Thanks
