Welcome back, Big Bear! I too am sorry to hear about the health issues. Folks around here seem to be just fine with those of us who don't own Pods (I'm a former Pod owner). At the end of the day, we are all camping enthusiasts and most campers have pretty much the same stuff inside. Even different models of appliances still operate much the same.
I think the Surveyor is a good choice and there are things about it that I like better than my Coleman (such as the thicker sidewall insulation). It is, for the most part, a Pod with a different shape. It is even made in the same factory as the Pods, by the same workers. Check in and post often!
