R-Pod Ultra Lite Travel Trailer RP196 2021: A Perfect Blend of Comfort and Efficiency
The 2021 R-Pod Ultra Lite Travel Trailer RP196 by Forest River RV is a remarkable travel trailer that has recently caught my attention. Dubbed as an 'Ultra Lite', it is the perfect companion for all your travel adventures, offering convenience and comfort in one sleek package.
From first glance, the RP196 impresses with its robust build, featuring a powder-coated steel frame and laminated sidewalls, floor, and roof in selected models. With dimensions of 22'2'' in length, 9'10'' in height, and 96'' in width, it provides ample space for comfortable living on the go.
Under the hood, the trailer is fitted with a plethora of well-thought-out features designed to make your travels as smooth as possible. The nitrogen-filled radial tires provide stability and durability, while the EZ-lube hubs and self-adjusting electric brakes ensure maximum safety on the road. It also features a dual battery rack for added convenience and power supply, along with a power tongue jack for easy trailer hook-up.
The interior of the trailer, boasting a 6'6'' height, is a blend of style and functionality with its Tupelo Honey interior décor and a seamless kitchen countertop. The trailer comes equipped with a variety of appliances including a convection microwave oven, a 6 cu ft G/E Double Door Refrigerator in selected models, a 28" 12V LED TV and more. The trailer also features a fireplace and large pantry in select models, adding to the overall comfort and home-like feel of the unit.
Moreover, this model is not just about comfort, it's also about functionality. It includes essentials like a Thetford toilet, a shower surround with curtain, and residential style shaker cabinetry. USB Charging Ports have also been included, ensuring your essential devices never run out of power.
Focusing on the exterior features, the RP196 showcases a durable Tufflex PVC Roofing with a 20-year warranty in select models. Additionally, it is Pet-Friendly, featuring a Frame Mounted Utility Hook and Food/Water Bowls, making it an ideal choice for pet owners. I was also impressed with the inclusion of a universal smart vacuum system that requires no hoses, making cleaning a breeze.
Conclusion
The R-Pod Ultra Lite Travel Trailer RP196 is a well-rounded travel trailer that promises an enticing balance of comfort, utility, and efficiency. For those who value convenience, luxury, and style, this 2021 model truly sets the bar high.

The See Dealer Cost Story
When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
