Greetings.
 
Would it be wise to buy an older R Pod and fix it up like one would like instead of buying a new model?
I have seen a few older units that could be had for a pretty good savings and then upgrade to fit my needs. Don't know anything about the older models.
 
Your thoughts please.
 
Thanks,
Gary

I have a 2015 178.  I have added many of the new accessories to mine.  It is every bit as capable and comfortable as a new 178 at a substantial savings in my opinion.  If you buy a new one you will mod it to fit your needs.

I'm a believer in saving money and newer isnt always better especially for cost difference and frequency of use. Why spend $20K+ to camp several times a year if you can spend half that? Although...be very careful and look for evidence of water leaks.  Water infiltration is a campers worst enemy. Good luck
