You will not miss the microwave but the hot water option is nice, it is a DSI gas model with switch over to electric if you are hooked up. Real nice to have your own shower, some cg's leave a lot to be desired. Are you getting dual refer's and be sure to get the Thermarest awning. Visit the T@da website on yahoo groups, plenty of pictures there, some of mine. Mine was $19k last December with all the options and color choice.

We own the R-pod and couldn't be happier. Small, compact, has all the amenities. My husband loves it too for the head room. Check out www.rpodnation.com forum to see what everyone says about it.
