There seems to be a new style of R-pod available;

It includes;
I like the look of it although I doubt those knobby tires would help mileage. Judging by the number of other R-pods in the background (picture 3), I'm going to guess these photo's were taken at the Forest River factory. |

The website says the status of the unit is "on order". I suppose that is why they only have exterior pictures. I wonder if there is additional protection built on the underside.

I really like the diamond plate on the front. I'm curious about the 'spoiler'. Would be nice to see additional angles of this rig.

Diamond plate back behind the wheels in the wheelwells, too.
Speaking of wheels, I don't see the advantage of the "off-road" tires.

Yes there is a new one for 2011.
I was negotiating the purchase of one with Jeff Couch and was told about the "upgraded" changes that sounded good to me including the ones you mentioned and blackwater flush mechanism. THe increase in price came to $300 and I think the POD is better for the changes from the sound of them.
We will pick ours up next Friday

Uphillracer, for only $300 more it sounds like a wise choice to get the Hood River Edition I thought it would cost more. I like the looks of the HRE better. Congradulations on your new Pod! David and Danette

I spoke with my dealer today. We won't have the diamond front or the off-road tires. He stated that was a market test in the West only for about 100-150 units to be sold West Coast.
The rest of the upgrades we'll get. I especially welcome the black water flush Thanks all. |
