The 2026 Forest River R-Pod RP-198 is a lightweight, single-slide travel trailer built for couples or small families who want a compact towable RV with a residential-style layout. At approximately 25’6” in length and 4,594 lbs dry weight, it delivers easy towing with SUV and half-ton truck compatibility while maintaining a fully featured interior. The design focuses on efficiency, comfort, and all-season usability with an enclosed underbelly, solar prep capability, and a streamlined aerodynamic profile.
Inside, the RP-198 offers a smart split-layout that enhances privacy and livability. A front private queen bedroom provides a dedicated sleeping space separated from the main living area. The pass-through bathroom design improves access from both the bedroom and living space, adding convenience for multiple occupants. The central living area includes a slide-out dinette and seating space, creating additional room for dining, relaxing, and converting into extra sleeping capacity when needed.
The kitchen is designed for practical everyday use, featuring a 12V refrigerator, convection microwave, and cooktop, along with integrated storage for cookware and supplies. Large windows and efficient interior design help keep the space bright and open despite its compact footprint.
The bathroom includes a full shower, toilet, vanity, and dual-access layout, making it one of the more functional bath setups in the lightweight trailer segment. A tankless on-demand water heater supports continuous hot water for extended camping comfort.
Modern systems include 15,000 BTU air conditioning, USB charging ports, motion lighting, solar prep with inverter readiness, and large freshwater, gray, and black tanks, making the RP-198 suitable for both campground stays and off-grid adventures. Exterior features such as a power awning, slam-latch storage doors, exterior spray port, and rear accessory hitch enhance usability at the campsite.
Built with Forest River’s R-Pod lightweight construction, the RP-198 balances durability and towability while maximizing usable interior space for its size class.
