Shake down cruise

Way to go!  I've towed popups over Teton Pass, but I have yet to tow our R-pod over it.  10% grade.  Gotta love the Tetons!  And gotta love diesel Grand Cherokees (even though mine is the previous generation)!

Finally picked up our 178 on Tuesday.  Being inexperienced at towing a trailer I quickly found my fears were unfounded.  The trailer tows like a dream and my Grand Cherokee eco-diesel handled the mountains like they weren't even there.  My big test is still taking it over Teton Pass but coming home over Pine Creek Pass I had some grades equal to, but not as long, as Teton Pass and we went up and down the them easily.  I got the weight distribution hitch and sway bars and feel much more comfortable with them installed around here.  Most of the campgrounds around the Tetons are not open until Memorial Day but we did find a good campsite within about 15 miles from home for an overnight test.  Having fun getting used to all the features of the RPOD.  I am 6'3" and my wife is 5'10".  We were very comfortable in the RPOD with our Boxer and Beagle even tho the dogs insisted in spending the first night in the bed and I got the extra bed in the dining area.  Yesterday I parked the RPOD at the storage location and all the way home I was looking back missing my RPOD.  Did I mention it tows like a dream??  Looking forward to a summer of fun and travel in it.  I have already christened it as my mobile fishing camp.  My wife says all fish will be cooked and consumed outside.  Wonder why??
