I have the standard Solar P1 croc pod and I love it. The standard is compact and you do have to have the handles at the bottom to avoid them clashing with each other but I've never had a problem when picking up a rod on the take. The pod is ultra stable and looks absolutely amazing on the bank. It also goes together and comes apart very quickly. The bag it comes in is brilliant and there so much room for other stuff. If you want a pod that allows you to fish the rods high up then this may not be the one for you. I have got around this by purchasing additional P1 legs at different sizes but it all adds to the expense. Overall it is the best pod I have ever owned albeit with some additional purchases.

Sorry, can't help with the solar, but for far less money why not consider one from Keith at defiantmps.uk ? Width can be customised and they have the longest length from front to back I've found on recent day pods

After some reviews from owners on this pod. Would of preferred the Jag RP2 but seems Jag has stopped making them as they haven't been in stock for best part of a year.

I simply want something compact and easy to set up. Love my RP1 with 10 footers but its just too small for 13ft rods and annoying to change out butt rests etc to use. I also have the solar P1 Worldwide Euro pod but that thing is a nightmare to set up and looks out of place in the UK 😂

Looking specifically for the wide version to accommodate my 13ft Aviators fitted with Shimano Tech MGS 14000 reels. Any info would be great as not a lot of information online. Would like to know how tight big pit reels sits next to each other, how the pod performs on angled surfaces with those stubby legs etc etc.

Cheers
