A Farwell to the Pod

Hello Greg and Julie. We are still in mourning too for our beloved Sally. The worst thing pets do is leave us too soon. Still. I would not erase one of those days with her to ease the pain now.
We look forward to seeing your new unit and wish you many years of happy travelling.
Tom and Bette

	We bought the 19erd and will pick it up next week. It had the same low ground clearance issue that the pods have and we are waiting for them to get the lift kit installed before we pick it up. Plan is to be out in it next week so pictures will be coming soon.

	Definitely requires something beefier, with hitch weights over 300 pounds. I like 1 or 2 of the 19' layouts. http://gulfstreamrvtrailers.com/visa/overview.php

	The Visa was one of our first choices as well and we would have gotten it except I think that it is just a little to much trailer for our tow vehicle 2011 Rpod 173 2009 Jeep Liberty

	Bridge707, Sorry you lost your friends. About 2 years ago I lost my Sheltie. It took me 2 years before I could come to having another Sheltie. Rusty is now part of our family a 10 year old Sheltie we adopted from Midflasheltierescue. Hope you and all of your family enjoy your new Visa camper. I have looked at the new smaller one I think 20' in length. I like the floor plan and weight. It would be nice to have a full bath and a bed that would be easier to not have to crawl over my wife. Please post some pictures and let us know which model Visa you have. David and Danette

	We loved our pod, too. But we are not handy with tools so could not really do any modifications. Thought it best to just buy something with a little more space and have the things we need already. I am so grateful for this website though. Could never have made it through first year of camping without it! I still check here for good ideas all the time. We bought a Forrest River Surveyor Sport 189. It is only a couple of feet longer.

	Ditto. Good luck with the new camper, and you are always welcome here. Post some pics of the camper, I'm interested how that one works out.

	Sorry to hear of your tough times....been there and understand completely. Personally, I think the Visa seems like a nice camper - though I've only seen them online. I wish someone around here would have had one to look at when I bought my Coleman (though I'm satisfied with it). Of course you are welcome to stick around here on the forum. These things all have identical or similar equipment that operates much the same. The camping experiences are of common interest, regardless of what one is sleeping in. Good luck with the new one. Take some pictures and let us know what you think of it.
