The Best-Selling in its class R Pod Series from Forest River has inspired several other manufacturers to take note and to produce eerily similar trailers. Not willing to just sit on the original designs and floor plans, Forest River is making updates and producing things like this new 2020 R Pod 180. It's a bit of a departure from some of the R Pod norms we're accustomed to, but it's sure to check off some of the boxes RV shoppers in the R Pod market have been looking for. Join PJ from Princess Craft RV in Round Rock, Texas as she tours this new R Pod.
