I got an RPod 179 and have been getting it ready for travel. I slept in it last night. I have put a 3" memory foam on the bed and it was really comfy. My dog Snuffy isn't happy with the trailer but I hope he will get used to it soon. 
I'm having trouble with the TV. I played a movie last night and really couldn't see it well. I wish there was an attachment I could get to swivel it down so I could see it better. Still having color issues too. 
I already changed out the 750 key to one I found at Lowes. It pays to read as much as you can about this new experience. :) 
I've booked my first jaunt not far from me but couldn't get in until Easter weekend.

There are tilting/swiveling mounts for the TV, can make quite a difference as I understand.. We don't watch much TV, and ours is different from yours..

Congratulations and welcome, if it's not too far of a trek for you there is an upcoming Rally in Townsend TN, towards the end of April.  Come join some us if you can.

I hope Snuffy adapts and flourishes on your journeys.  Sometimes they just need some time to acclimate.  Good luck.

Jannie I will send you some messages here for it.  And some contact info.  Check your Personal Message folder here.  I'm not sure if it's on the campout section here or not, I forget sometimes which rallies end up where.

About your dog - ours never quite settled into the pod.  He would barely eat on a weekend trip, for instance.  Always thought he was never quite comfortable in camp.  Suddenly on the few trips we've had with our new camper he acts just like he does at home.  Odd.  Hope yours loves your pod!

Sorry, I've tried searching the forum but can't find any reference to what you recommend be done with the key. Care to elaborate? My hunch is they have a common key across all units, and you switched out the cylinder for a unique key?

That's correct DataSquid, your outdoor storage passthru bins will all have a common key that is practically everywhere in the RV world.  A lot of us, sometimes just for our own ease will change out the locks on these areas either with different keyed models from other manucaturers, or even other RV specific ones that have different key types, or even combination type locks.
