I'm BaaaaaAAAaack. Wow what a trip. Left San Antonio at Noon last Wednesday, arrived the dealer in Wescott Iowa the next morning at 9:30am. Left the dealer before noon and then back to San Antonio by Noon yesterday (Saturday). My biggest discovery on the trip was the Kansas Turn Pike, OMG, what a beast! Once I found the sweet spot on the tachometer, the Ranger pulled it real nice, it just won't do it a 70mph. Its like to pull at 2,800 rpm (12mpg). I wonder how that RPM compares with others pulling with a V6. Yep watching the world go by at 70-80 MPH on such a long trip gives you the sensation from time to time that your're going backwards, but that's OK, I'm perfectly content at 60-65 MPH. I can't say enough about the buying experience, for me, it was perfect all the way around and worth the drive. Send me an PM if you want details. Thanks again to everybody that helped with all the questions to help me get ready for the trip and get this done. I'm now a bonafide RP-178 owner.   

We use plastic tubs (for that area) from CTC with wheels on the bottom to store our clothes and then put smaller ones on top for our unmentionables... We also use a small ceramic heater and don't/haven't used the heater yet. If we do then we'll just slide the tubs out to the table. Welcome to the wonderful world of podding.

Tech, that's a great solution! I like it, it's not expensive and WILL get the job done. Thanks!

Originally posted by Podster Another newbie question: Is there a way to secure the POD in my driveway? Assuming I can get it in there, my drive way has a considerable up grade. There is no parking brake to how to I secure it? Chalks only? That's not enough.  Anchor a 10,000lb rated D ring to the garage floor and run a cable to the frame of the POD to ensure it doesn't crush my neighbor Better on her evening walk? Is that crazy? Is there a tech trick or hack that I can use to lock the breaks in this situation? What do others do in this situation? I have storage, but it would be nice to be able to prep for trips and work the mods in the driveway.  Thanks for taking the time to respond, your feedback is very appreciated. I have already learned a ton from you folks here on the forum.

That would be awesome, but I think the slide module is just out of the frame. I will certainly take a closer look. Thanks!
