2021 Forest River R-Pod 190

*SELLING AS-IS*

The 2021 Forest River R-Pod 190 is one of those small trailers that does an incredible job of giving you the features of a traditional travel trailer while keeping the overall size and weight extremely manageable.

What we really like about the RP-190 is the combination of a dedicated queen bed, centre bathroom, rear dinette, and incredibly light 2,979-lb. unloaded weight. At only 20' 4" long, it's a compact couples trailer that gives you separate areas for sleeping, dining, and your bathroom without requiring a large tow vehicle.

For couples, first-time RV buyers, or anyone looking to downsize into something smaller and lighter, the RP-190 is a proven floorplan that makes excellent use of its size.

Under 3,000 lbs. Unloaded

One of the biggest advantages of the RP-190 is its weight.

At only 2,979 lbs. unloaded, you're getting a proper travel trailer with a slide-out, dedicated bed, kitchen, bathroom, and dinette while staying under the 3,000-lb. mark.

That's a big reason why the R-Pod became so popular. It gives buyers who don't want a large trailer a surprisingly complete camping setup in a lightweight package.

Dedicated Queen Bed

At the front of the trailer, you get a dedicated queen bed, so you don't have to convert your main seating area into your primary bed every night.

For couples, that's a huge convenience.

You can leave the bed made throughout your trip while keeping the rear dinette available for meals, relaxing, or additional sleeping space when needed.

Centre Bathroom

The centre bathroom helps separate the sleeping area at the front from the living and dining space at the rear.

For a trailer that's only 20' 4" long, having your own dedicated bathroom is a major advantage, especially for buyers moving up from tent camping or a tent trailer.

It gives you the convenience of a traditional travel trailer while keeping the overall package compact and lightweight.

Rear Dinette

One of our favorite features of the RP-190 is the rear dinette.

Positioning the dinette at the back gives you a dedicated place to sit down for meals, have your morning coffee, play cards, or relax at the end of the day.

We especially like a rear dinette when you're backed into a nice campsite. Instead of looking at the front of another trailer, you can sit at the back of your RV and enjoy the view behind your campsite.

Slide-Out Opens Up the Interior

The RP-190 also uses a slide-out to create additional interior space without making the trailer unnecessarily long.

That extra width through the centre of the trailer makes a noticeable difference in a compact floorplan and gives you more room to move around inside.

It's a smart way to make a roughly 20-foot trailer feel considerably more spacious once you're set up.

Compact 20' 4" Overall Length

At only 20' 4" long, the RP-190 is a very manageable trailer.

It's easier to maneuver around campgrounds, easier to fit into smaller campsites, and easier to store than a conventional 25- or 30-foot travel trailer.

That's one of the biggest reasons we'd consider the RP-190. You're getting the important features of a traditional travel trailer without having to tow a huge box behind you.

30-Gallon Holding Tanks

The RP-190 carries 30 gallons of fresh water, 30 gallons of gray water, and 30 gallons of black water.

That's a nicely balanced setup for a compact couples trailer and gives you useful capacity when you're camping without full hookups.

It also comes equipped with a 6-gallon water heater.

Why We Like the RP-190 at Ruston RV

The 2021 Forest River R-Pod 190 is a great example of how much you can fit into a lightweight trailer when the floorplan is designed properly.

We especially like the combination of the dedicated front queen bed, centre bathroom, rear dinette, slide-out, and incredibly light 2,979-lb. unloaded weight.

The layout gives you three distinct areas inside the trailer — sleeping at the front, bathroom in the centre, and dining/living space at the rear — while keeping the entire trailer only 20' 4" long.

For couples, first-time buyers, or anyone looking for something lightweight, compact, and easy to manage without giving up a proper bed, bathroom, and comfortable place to sit, the RP-190 is a really well-designed little trailer.
