New R Pod 179 Owner Louisville KY

Originally posted by Viperbyte Hello Everyone, Before I introduce myself, I just wanted to thank all those on the forum who have provided such valuable information. Upon researching which RV Trailer I was going to buy, I decided on the R Pod based mostly on the information I was able to receive here long before I joined. Thank you so much. I purchased the 179 model and took delivery a few weeks ago. My girlfriend and I have been out once for a 3 day trip to General Butler State Park last weekend. It was awesome! That is saying a lot considering I am a traditional tent camper. Yes, even the standard stock mattress was better on my 50 year old back then sleeping on the ground. I ordered the 179 with the R Dome, Cover and upgraded to dual propane, and dual batteries for when we do winter camping off grid. My TV is a 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac 4x4 V8. I had Delightful Days add a sway bar also. In the future I hope to get the Solar Panels. Overall it was great and during the trip even though the campground was minimally used, there were 2 other R Pods in the campground. I look forward to join one of the R Pod weekend meet and greets at some of the state campgrounds. One of the other R Pod owners told me about them last weekend. Again thank you everyone; all the information in this forum is so helpful. Hopefully when I become a more seasoned R Pod owner, I can contribute also. Oh, one question as silly as it may sound, do people usually name their R Pod? Take Care VB

Welcome from a fellow rpod 179 owner

Hello Everyone,

Before I introduce myself, I just wanted to thank all those on the forum who have provided such valuable information. Upon researching which RV Trailer I was going to buy, I decided on the R Pod based mostly on the information I was able to receive here long before I joined. Thank you so much.

I purchased the 179 model and took delivery a few weeks ago. My girlfriend and I have been out once for a 3 day trip to General Butler State Park last weekend. It was awesome! That is saying a lot considering I am a traditional tent camper. Yes, even the standard stock mattress was better on my 50 year old back then sleeping on the ground.

Again thank you everyone; all the information in this forum is so helpful. Hopefully when I become a more seasoned R Pod owner, I can contribute also.

Oh, one question as silly as it may sound, do people usually name their R Pod?
