R Pod 171 Classic | 2024 Model from Forest River

The R Pod by Forest River broke new ground when they first appeared on the scene back in... 2008? I dunno, it was a long time ago, and R Pod pretty much launched a new category in the travel trailer industry. Today, Forest River is bringing back the Classic R Pod style and features that got the whole thing going. PJ from Princess Craft RV takes us on a tour of the slightly modernized, but still very true-to-form R Pod 171 Classic!
