We also started out as T@B owners!!



We loved our T@B, and even my 6'4" husband was willing to overlook it's slightly squishy sleeping situation. What pushed us to getting our Pod was a failed camping trip to the Oregon coast back in March. We don't mind camping in the rain, but we knew that we needed a trailer that would give us a bit more space for those times when we are stuck inside due to weather (the T@B was fine for sleeping, but being trapped in there with my husband and our 3 small dogs for more then a day just wasn't going to work). 

Now we're the happy owners of a 179...we feel like we're living in a mansion now! Welcome to Pod life!!

Hi everyone!

I'm new to the R-pod but not to small trailers. I bought my first small trailer (a T@B) in 2004, then a Little Guy (Rough Rider) in 2010. Done my share of dry camping and a little 0ff-road camping with my Jeep.

Now I'm ready for some more civilized travel (toilet/shower) and some get-togethers. I did go to some "T@B rallies" a few years ago and had a very good time.

My wife's not into camping so I usually travel alone or with my brother. As a couple of fat old men, we make quite the impression. My son calls us "Santa Claus and Father Time."

Looking forward to seeing you all on the road sometime.
