That's cool, my brother lives in York PA. and does alot of traveling and camping. I'm meeting both he and my other brother this weekend down in W.V. to look around. 

Do you have any favorite camp grounds for taking the pod locally?

Good day,

First post to the forum...ordered a new 172 on Oct. 1st. from a dealer in Ohio. We are from Windsor Ont Canada. Looking forward to picking it up in the next 4-6 weeks. I have been reading posts, are trying to figure everything out. This is our first trailer...we were tent campers...without my wife and kids (3yr old & 6month old), I prefer backcounty kayak camping.
I think we got a great deal on the Pod...fully loaded with risers, rdome and bike rack. Got them to toss in the E2 as well. For now we are towing with our 2008 Jeep Liberty, with a brake controller installed. Hopefully we can get a big vehicle next year.

Any newbie advice? Things to look out for?

Welcome.  Look out for the curb.  Seriously.  I'm an experienced trailer-puller and yet I managed to clip a curb with our pod on the first or second trip out.  Pinch

Don't fret.  While selling Class A diesel pushers I managed to back one into a tree, while viewing the rear camera display.  When they indicate that the object is closer than it looks in the view, believe them.  Had to replace the entire rear cap of an RV.  Fun times.  Safe Travels.

Welcome, and congrats on the Pod purchase!  Best advice I can give upfront ... make sure you know where the wife and kids are before you start backing up into a campsite.  View behind you is limited to the sides, and really only one side when you are turning and backing at the same time.

Welcome!  My best advice is to read this forum often.  Most of the posters have "been there, done that, and have the t-shirt".  I have found, as a newbie myself, that using the search features on the web site will yield a lot of answers.

Happy podding!
