We resisted using the bathroom for anything when we got our popup, but once the kids got older and we couldn't split them up for showers in the bathhouse we started using the shower and toilet.  We have two girls - once my oldest started asking certain questions probably around age 3 it was time.  It would have taken too long in the morning to have my wife take both.  Staying in the popup was so much easier!

We leave our sewer hose hooked up and the gray tank valve open.  Since the black tank will last for most of a week I'll wait until the day it needs to be dumped before closing the valve for the gray tank to fill it up with a few showers, then dump the black and then the gray, leaving the gray valve open again.

My wife will use the bathroom but I tend to only use it if I wake up in the middle of the night. I never use the shower which is funny because it was my wife who said she would never use a wet bath.

So, we got back from 1603 AD (renaissance fair in Richland, WA) last night.  We love our 178 and the tips gathered from this forum has been priceless.  Thank you all who shared.
Traveling west on I-90 last night, a driver pulled up next to us and asked how we liked the R-pod.  That was pretty cool!
Over the weekend, temps were in the area of 100 degrees.  The A/C worked perfectly.  I'm pretty sure the money we spent on the pod was actually just for the A/C, and it's worth so much more!  The rest of the pod was free.
Life is good.  Live well.

The Air and the shower were big for us. Camping in the pod is pure fun IMHO.

JCMoran, be prepared for many in-person tours.  If I made commission on all the pod tours I've given...
