Forest River RV R Pod Travel Trailer

R Pod by Forest River lite travel trailers are the first of their kind to make luxury affordable. The R Pod is the lightest in weight in its class but packed full of all the amenities for a long or short trip. With its unique shape and construction the R Pod is a step outside its class.

With residential cabinetry, hardwood drawers and expandable cargo netting for storage the R Pod is fully equipped. Enjoy a movie on the optional 9" widescreen LCD drop-down TV which also includes a AM/FM/CD stereo and DVD player with remote control. The R Pod also includes a fully functioning galley including a 4.2 cubic foot 3-way refrigerator that provides enough space for those extended stays.  Popular options include the convection microwave oven, r-dome awning with built-in screen room and air conditioning.
