Experience Freedom on the Road with the 2022 Forest River r-pod 153

A very nice little trailer. It seems that compromises are fewer than other small trailers. Please, torsion bar suspension is not an independent suspension. I enjoyed your review, thank you for taking the time to do so!

I think I’d almost rather have a manual batwing awning. And a lagoon table by the couch with a full time bed. But, those are things an owner can add. Very nice camper!

I really don't understand this layout

Hello,
What's the over all length from the spares tires to the tow hitch? (End to end)

Excellent...except how about or those not addicted to tv...a small TV on a swing out arm and add on another over the kitchen cabinet...about 14" wide would do.And...include a trailer hitch receiver so a person could install a full width cargo rack.I could have a welder make me one.

Is that a plastic toilet?

We recently bought the 153 and really like it. However, some upgrades are needed. I replaced the bathroom faucet with a metal one that matches the kitchen faucet and all the black hardware. We ordered a queen short foam topper from Amazon with corner straps,really cool. We discovered you can fold the bed up with all the bedding on and it still folds down pretty flat. I like looking up at the stars at night through the huge front window.
My wife laments about not having kitchen drawers, so my next project is to custom make two drawers to take the place of the top cabinet space.
I tow ours with a Toyota Tacoma V6 with a tow package. It pulls great and backing up is easy. I do get a tiny bit of occasional sway at higher speeds, but not quite decided on a weight distribution hitch yet. Gas mileage is not great pulling the 153, 11-12 mpg for me. That's to be expected though.
So far, a great trailer.

Greattttttttt

This is nice but like the others mentioned keep the bed permanently setup and use a lagoon table at couch for dining and food prep. Awning should be manually and rather manual jack. Eliminate the electric that breaks.

How did they squeeze a bathroom in that Tiny camper lol 😆
