Thanks for all the comments.  I've not checked the mileage pulling the pod yet.  I'm getting about 18.5 mpg during daily driving without the pod.  The campground we usually go to is only 30 minutes away and this weekend I just didn't want to go top off the tank just to check my mileage.  We are planning to go a bit further on our next trip, 1.25 hours one way.  I plan to do a mpg check during that trip and will let you know.
 
BTW: my new graphics for the truck arrived today and I plan to apply them this weekend.  Will post pictures after the job is complete.

We spent most of our weekend in the rain as well, I was miserable breaking camp today.  The radar was green for miles all around.  Confused

Looking good, Serrie! The rig has a long lean look to it... You are making me wish for a V8...

20 years camping in Uncle Sam's biggest, heaviest, most dangerous "RV". All kinds of weather, all kinds of terrain. I have been in rain so heavy we had to run the bilge pump continuously, so cold my sleeping bag froze to the top of the tank.. with me in it. So hot we "cooked" our MRE's by just laying them on the back deck... I didn't mind. In fact, tanks are fun. I would of stayed longer if they would of still let me play with them...

But the MRS.. well, lets just say she doesn't see it that way. We have ridden 60+ miles in a day on a bicycle in the rain, never a complaint. But if it's raining at the start of a ride, and we don't HAVE to ride.. she doesn't. Which means, we don't. So "if" it's raining, OK. But if she knows it's GOING to be raining..

She has been watching the radar for down there in Tenn. all day.. saying.. look, still all green..
