Welcome to the forum.  As with many things in life, we try to follow the practice of keeping everything as simple as we can with our Pod.  Not a lot of stuff to break and more time to camp.
Never leave footprints behind.

Congrats on the RPod, My wife and I just got a 179 last week (our first camper ever). My knowledge is very limited in respects of the Rpod. But as far as camping, my advice would be Keep it simple & less is more. I know for us now having a camper it would be easy to complicate it and bring stuff we've never brought camping before because... hey we have the space. But in our experience backpacking and car camping, less truly is more. Whatever you guys do though have fun!

Congratulations on your Pod and welcome to the group!

Your short first trip will reveal a lot to you, in the way of what you need. Many do a "camp" in the driveway to help "settle in".

Good luck!

Youtube is full of help. Some r-pod specific, tons of RV'ing in general.

Find a channel you like and settle in with snacks and a drink on a hot day and just inhale it.

Howdy!! We have just bought a 2016 Rpod 180...so exciting! We really are newbie campers as we camped so long ago we forget it all. 

What I’m looking for are some tips and advice around setting up the interior of this fun trailer. We are going for a practice overnight this week before we head out for about 4 days in a week or so. Please share any wisdom. 

This used Rpod doesn’t have a microwave, and we likely won’t have a camper bbq by this week.....we won’t starve!!, LOL.
