Cool, got ours there also.  The bridge traffic was horrible for us later that evening well after you were home with your Pod I'm sure.  Took us over an hour from near the fairgrounds to getting across the bridge.  That was the longest pull to Scottsburg ever! 
 
Hope you're loving the Pod so far!

Hello Neighbor.  Raining here in the 'ville today also.  And yes the I-65 mess is annoying to say the least.  We actually have to take our Pod up into Hoosier territory tonight up to Jellystone in Scottsburg.  Worst part is, we have to go across the 65 bridge during rush hour!  OuchOuch
 
Are you picking your pod up here somewhere here in Louisville?
 


We have so far been able to avoid the whole missing bridge problem..

If he is going to/thru the 'ville, and buying new.. so far as I know, only one place to go.. well two, but who wants to drive to Lex for a Pod if they don't HAVE to.. Almost has to be R.Stop.. good peeps.

Enjoy your Pod. Life is just too short not to do the things you want to do.

Safe travels - my only advice would be to go overboard during your walk thru.

Make sure every appliance works properly in the various modes (LP AC DC), make sure every switch works.  We of course found various things not working properly our first night in the POD.

We will be making the journey back to our dealer in the spring to get various things corrected under the warranty period which is to be expected.

We picked our new 177 up in August, we have about 10 nights in it so far and really enjoy it!

Best of luck on your pickup today and I hope for both of us that the rain settles down some today.  I hate setting up camp in the rain and I want you to get the chance to get outside and play with your new Pod some!
 
Great having you aboard with all the rest of the Podders here, and it's nice to bump into a new neighbor.  Good luck on 65 today!!
