Congratulations. I added you to my Buddy List as I'll be a 2017 RP-180 owner in a few weeks.

Congratulations and welcome to the forum!

You can do just fine. As mentioned, just take what you really need. Units like this are designed for folks who like to spend more time outside than inside.

you will get used to the smaller size R Pod.  My wife and I have had our R Pod 173 for about 5 years now.  We use it for long distance, multi week travels .  We have been out as long as 10 weeks.  the key is to not take what you don't use.  We have found that a good cooler(Engel) is a great way to keep drinks, veggies, etc cool while still keeping the refrig full.  We also take along a very small propane grill for outside cooking.Look back at this forum and you will get a world of advice and good info.The Pod is a great unit to modify to your needs and taste. Don't hesitate to modify it. Don't be afraid of traveling with the R Pod-it's great and you will get a lot of attention.

Safe travels
