New member and maiden voyrage

Welcome! Our first Rpod was a "barely used" 2017 179. Over time we found evidence that it'd been to Alaska and all over the west. We towed it thru OR, ID, and western MT without any issues other than a tail light that went off till we took it out, then it'd stay on till it didn't. I added a shelf over the bed on the valences for light storage and a longer sewer hose holder.  We liked it well enough we moved up in space with the same general layout. I thru a set of cable chains in the back of the storage compartment for just what you were talking about. Have fun!

Back from Maiden Voyage in the nearby mountains of Colorado.  Learned a great deal about the 179 and had a great time. Still much to learn.  Saw lots of deer, a few mountain goats, and smaller animals, including a squirrel who seemed to want to go home with us! Came home at the right time, since today it is snowing about 10 inches up there at 9,800 elevation where we were, and the weather down in the valley where I live has cooled forty-five degrees from our recent overheated temperatures of mid to high 90s..  There will be better fall camping weather ahead.  

Enjoy your time in the Rockies!  That is our favorite place to camp.  Last September we spent a month between Cotopaxe, RMNP, and Arches.  Is the air quality beginning to improve? 

Welcome and congratulations on your RPod. I hope you have many fun adventures and make many great memories with it. We've enjoyed our 2016 RP179 even though our planned trips for this year were cancelled/postponed. I'm hoping we can get a local camping trip in this month.

Blue, with the fishing frog on the side!  Off to the mountains....
